I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to it's best
Vega is the only legitimate hire on this ship, though he has never realized this and he probably never will. Naive, gullible and painfully shy Vega is the baby of the ship at 19 and everyone is fiercely overprotective of him. He's only 5'5" but he usually appears smaller because of how he stands, with his shoulders hunched and pulled in tight and his hands in his pockets. He's got very curly hair that falls over his eyes and he never moves it out of the way. Hawthorne jokes about how he's such a good Navigator that he can do it blinded by his hair and Vega always blushes and nervously laughs. In actuality Vega is a human-Abraxus hybrid, the first and only of his kind, and has illegal documentation that states him as being fully human. It's not a terrible thing to be a hybrid, Hawthorne is one, but it's a terrible thing to be half Abraxus; the race that almost blew up Earth is not easily forgiven. There are little ways that this hybridization hinders him but Xerxes figured it out very early and she helps him on the downlow. They've never actually discussed it but she always caters her medication to his strange physiology and she's familiar enough with his vital signs and regular work that she knows when something is amiss.
The main benefit that having an Abraxus parent gave Vega is that he can open his 'eyes' anywhere he'd like. They don't physically leave his face but eyes that look identical to his (bright gold) can be generated anywhere he wishes, and he can see out of them if he concentrates. He almost always has the ship surrounded by these eyes when he's flying and it's why he's such an incredible navigator; in tricky meteor fields he plants eyes at whatever angles he needs and steers them through without a scratch. Approaching unfriendly planets he does something similar; the eyes are not really physical and so cannot be seen on any typical scanners, so Vega can mostly use this ability unnoticed. Vega talks very softly and he stutters or mumbles if someone makes him the center of attention, and he's usually fiddling with his hands or fingers or something he can hold onto. He likes oversized clothes and favors sweaters. Honey loves him like a son despite their narrow age difference, which Hawthorne is extremely jealous over. Vega is the only person that Perihelion is genuinely close to, and definitely the only person who they have ever allowed to call them Ion. Vega is usually oblivious to social cues and misses things that are obvious to other people. He is painfully blind when it comes to folks flirting or insulting him.
