History Characters / RebornAsASpaceMercenaryIWokeUpPilotingTheStrongestStarship

* CombatClairvoyance: Part of the reason that he is so skilled. He can briefly sense an opponents KillingIntent, so he already knows where to dodge before they even shoot.

* SuperReflexes: When he holds his breathe, it is as if time slows down to him, giving him super fast reaction time. Nobles can do something similar with brain implants, but Hiro somehow does it without.

'''Share:''' 0.5%

* ExpressiveEars: Her long ears perk up or down depending on her mood, and turn red when she blushes, which she often tries to hide when embarassed.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: Since they're only provisional members of his crew, as opposed to full-timers like Mei, Mimi, or Elma, not to mention they look like kids, being dwarves and all, Hiro desperately resisted their repeated sexual advances. One day, they insult him into being angry enough to give them that wall-banging sex they've been wanting. They've pretty much moved into his bed at that point.

* RelationshipUpgrade: In chapter 324, they discuss quitting Space Dwerg to join Hiro's crew full-time. Hiro gives his consent. By the time chapter 330 rolls around, they've actually done it off-screen.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When he asks Mimi "[[HaveWeMet Do I know you from somewhere?]]"

A girl that looks to be about 10-12 years old rescued by the ''Krishna'' from pirates and found in a stasis pod. She turns out to be the granddaughter of Count Abraham Dalenwald, orphaned during a coup attempt by her father's younger brother.

* {{Paparazzi}}: Deconstructed. As Hiro and crew are at the Imperial Capital planet, en route to the award ceremony where he is to receive his Imperial Cross medal for meritorious service in the subjugation of the Mother Crystal, Wiska and Tina are besieged by a gaggle of PR agents from the local branch, some of the employees are even human. They pressure the two mechanic girls to let them into the ''Black Lotus'', and while Hiro tries to greet them in the airlock, they shove their way right past him, start taking pictures of every room, force their way into the crew's personal quarters, and start trying to rip open the cargo containers to see what's inside. Enraged, Hiro, Mimi, Elma, and Mei subdue them and wrap them up like bag-worms with the anti-intruder defenses. While the leaders of Space Dwerg are begging, head to the floor, these yahoos are screaming and shouting about their "rights" until Hiro points to his Silver Wings Sword Assault medal, meaning he's ''nobility'', and tells them that an official complaint has already been sent to their bosses, at which point they quiet down, so Hiro reminds them about several critical things:

## Hiro agreed to Space Dwerg having exclusive access to their story in return for a discount to purchase the ship, so he can ''return'' the discount and pretend the agreement doesn't exist, cutting off all access, permanently.
## They have competition, and there's nothing preventing Hiro from selling the ship's on-board camera footage, showcasing Space Dwerg's abominable acts. For these Yahoos, Hiro has nothing to gain from employing them, so if they find themselves unemployed and in the slums, too bad.

* AndThenWhat: After he rescues Mimi from a gang-rape, Elma hits him between the eyes with the question of what he's going to to with her next. He lets her loose, the rapists will just go after her again, or maybe she'd find herself in an even worse situation. Seeing no better option, he welcomes Mimi to his crew, and gets boinked silly that very night.

* NewLifeInAnotherWorldBonus: Not only does he retain his in-game skills and (partial) knowledge of the setting, he also gains the ability to [[TimeStandsStill slow down time]] while holding his breath. He is later revealed to have latent PsychicPowers.

* PunchClockHero: He does good deeds, but he expects to be paid for it.
* RealMenCook: His harem is impressed he knows how to barbecue skewers.

* ParentalMarriageVeto: While he otherwise likes Hiro and is very grateful to him for rescuing his granddaughter, he does his level best to put the kibosh on her PrecociousCrush on the Captain.

* NonActionGirl: Though Hiro buys her a personal sidearm for defense early on, [[DoesNotLikeGuns she never uses it]] and in general runs away from fights.

* DebtDetester: She sees her purchase price from when Hiro bought her on Cierra III as a debt that she owes him and pushes Hiro into giving her more duties so she can pay it off as fast as she can. This, aside from her competence, is why she pilots the Black Lotus, giving all the proceeds of her pirate kills to Hiro to pay off "her debt" as quick as possible.

* HypercompetentSidekick: She captains Hiro's mothership, the Black Lotus.

* SuperStrength: Hiro had her outfitted with a skeleton made of starship-quality alloys and military-grade artificial muscle tissue. As a result, despite looking like a woman of average proportions, she possesses several times the strength of an ordinary human, being able to fling a solid projectile with enough power to punch through PowerArmor like cardboard, and wave around a {{BFG}} laser gun like it's a plastic baseball bat.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The first time she goes pirate hunting with the Black Lotus, she nails a fleeing pirate with the EML. What makes this fit the trope is that the EML was designed to deliver heavy damage to large, slow targets like battleships. The fleeing pirate was piloting a light corvette.

* VowOfProtection: She takes her duty to guard the lives of Hiro, Mimi, and her crewmates dead seriously from the moment he takes her into his sevice, pledging to defend their lives at the cost of her own if necessary.

* {{Paparazzi}}: Deconstructed.

! Crew of the Krishna (Main Characters)

* AceCustom: His ship, the Krishna, is a prize won from a rare in-game event, which he's gone on to customize out the wazoo. It may be a light fighter, but it's got top of the line military grade armor, shields, generators, engines, and weapons. Under the right circumstances, it can even take on a battle-ship and win.

* DefensiveFeintTrap: Since his Krishna is a light fighter, with its primary weapons hidden away until active combat, many antagonists think he's easy prey. Then out comes the four high-power pulse cannons.

* HypocriticalHumor: He's a serious adrenaline junkie and loves to go hunt down pirates, even once being caught trying to sneak out on the Krishna when he's bored. But he has to hunt on his terms. If the battle comes looking for him, he gets mad and protests that he doesn't like getting into trouble or dealing with problematic situations.

* PingPongNaivete: When it comes to anything related to combat (save for his extremely limited skill in hand-to-hand), Hiro is a true master, coming up with cunning strategies, and executing brilliant maneuvers that allow him to absolutely dominate, especially when he’s behind the controls of the Krishna. However, when it comes to anything related to the customs and social mores of the universe he finds himself in, he’s completely clueless. This is justified as, while the universe he ended up in contains most of the same ships, technology, and equipment that he used in Stella Online, none of the factions or locations matches anything found in the setting of the game, leaving him with almost no frame of reference to work with.

* SupportPartyMember: Apart from being the Krishna's operator, she researches destinations ahead of time and sells their pirate loot. After Hiro purchases a mothership and starts transporting supplies, Mimi also handles purchases and sales of those supplies.

## Sign on with the crew of the Krishna under the newbie she's jealous and dismissive of. She eventually goes with #4 and is shell-shocked at how luxuriously he lives and how benevolent he is to his crew.

The captain of the Vuestor, the flagship of a rogue military unit that targeted the Krishna on Balthazar's orders.

* CorneredRattlesnake: When Serena showed up to protect the Krishna and the Pelican IV, the freighter Hiro was "guarding," the Colonel ordered his fleet to become more aggressive to the Krishna, rather than stand down as Serena commanded, to her ire.
* TheGhost: He never makes an on-screen appearance, though his orders to attack the Krishna are heard by the main characters.

* OneShotCharacter: Appears only once in the battle attacking the Krishna to try and get at Chris and is never seen again.

A girl that looks to be about 10-12 years old rescued by the Krishna from pirates and found in a stasis pod. She turns out to be the granddaughter of Count Abraham Dalenwald, orphaned during a coup attempt by her father's younger brother.

* MundaneObjectAmazement: As an aristocrat, she's never had "commoner" food like hamburgers and pizza. So when she's exposed to it while aboard the Krishna, she eats it with gusto!

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name was initially translated as "May" in the web-novel, but is officially translated as "Mei" in both the light-novel and manga.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her surname gets corrupted to the nonsensical-in-context "Hoarz" in the manga. Whether to use 'r' or 'l' is a recurring problem in English translations because they're the same sound in Japanese.

* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: In web novel Chapter 177 (volume 7 of the light novel), Selena Holz notices that Mimi is the spitting image of Imperial Crown Princess Luciada, who has just made her first public appearance after coming of age. To get on top of things, she contacts the palace and gets Mimi genetically tested. She turns out to be closely related to the Emperor and likely Luciada's second cousin: her grandmother seems to have been the Emperor's sister, who become something of a romantic folk hero after running away from the palace.

!Grakkan Empire Civilians

! Inagawa Technology

[[folder: Mr. Dixon]]
Dr. Shouko's direct supervisor and foster father.

* ParentalMarriageVeto: In addition to being the one who can decide if Shouko can or cannot resign from her position at Inagawa Technology, he's the one who can give or withhold his blessings if she decides to engage in romance.
* ParentalSubstitute: Since Shouko doesn't really have parents, he adopted and raised her.

! Antagonists:

[[folder: Earl Balthazar Dalenwald]]
Chris's EvilUncle.

* SexualExtortion: Unintentionally. When he chances upon Mimi and Elma in some very dire straits, he offers them to become members of his crew, until they get back on their feet. Even paying their debts from his own funds. He was unaware that when a woman agrees to come on a guy's starship, as a member of his crew, she's agreeing to be his sex-toy, in addition to whatever other duties she might be assigned. It's not until after Mimi and Elma have come into his quarters, wearing sexy lingerie and ''pressuring him into having sex with them'' that he learns this. He does feel some pangs of regret at unwittingly using their debts to get them into his bed, but then shrugs going "what's done is done" and strives to treat them with civility and care, and enjoy the fact that they ''actively enjoy'' boinking him like rabbits in heat--though going forward, he makes clear with all his harem members that sleeping with him is '''not''' a job requirement.

* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Chapter 177, Selena Holz notices that Mimi is the spitting image of the imperial crown princess. Chapter 178 has Mimi genetically tested to find that she is of royal blood, maybe the princess' second or third cousin. The justification given for why nobody noticed sooner is that the princess herself has been in seclusion since age 5 and just recently made a public appearance at her coming of age party. This leads the imperial inquisitors to conclude that Mimi's past on Tarmein III may not have been accidental after all...

* AbhorrentAdmirer: While Hiro finds her attractive (especially when [[SheCleansUpNicely out of uniform]]) and helpful on occasion, she's also rather pushy and controlling for his tastes.

* LackOfEmpathy: Hiro has had a disturbing lack of aversion to killing pirates and enemy soldiers in battle since the beginning. He took his first 3 kills against humans totally well. He also can hear them screaming in fear and asking for their lives before massacring even the last one of them while feeling nothing and even mocking them for it. Is a more perturbing fact knowing he was a completely normal officer-worker guy on Earth that never fought or hurt before. Then again, he is in a universe where survival of the fittest ''is'' law here.

Is a more perturbing fact knowing he was a completely normal officer-worker guy on Earth that never fought or hurt before.

* BoobsOfSteel: Almost literally as she's a robot, has a bust size just below Mimi's, and is the Krishna crew's best combatant.

The most experienced of Hiro's crew. A five-year veteran SpaceElf mercenary, Elma starts out as Hiro's de facto {{senpai|Kohai}} who walks him through getting himself and Mimi registered as mercs. She pilots the White Swan, but it goes berserk during the attack on the pirate base and collides with a police cruiser, leaving Elma shipless and deeply in debt. Hiro buys her debt and takes her on as his second crew member.

* RichLanguagePoorLanguage: Tina was raised in a lower-class district and speaks in ''{{kansai|RegionalDialect}}-ben''.

* AlmightyJanitor: He starts at the bottom of the mercenary guild but quickly rises through the ranks with his accomplishments in SpaceBattles.

* ArrangedMarriage: {{Defied}}: she signed on with the Imperial Navy to avoid getting forced into one. This is also part of the reason for her pursuit of Hiro: his mercenary career has the potential to make him an acceptable match, should happen to earn a title of his own.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Gives Hiro a much tougher fight than all of his {{Mooks}} combined, partially thanks to his [[{{Cyborg}} cybernetic implants]]. Hiro needed the assistance of his power armor and Mei to even the odds.

* LackOfEmpathy: Hiro has had a disturbing lack of aversion to killing pirates and enemy soldiers in battle since the beginning. He took his first 3 kills against humans totally well. He also can hear them screaming in fear and asking for their lives before massacring even the last one of them while feeling nothing and even mocking them for it. Is a more perturbing fact knowing he was a completely normal officer-worker guy on Earth that never fight or hurt before.

* LeaveNoSurvivors: Hiro tends to destroy even the last one of the Pirate Ships not caring about their pilots retreating or begging for their lives. In his view, they are murderer maniacs that have killed innocent people and will do it again if he let them escape. He also has a policy of "take no prisoners" if they find pirate survivors while looting damaged ships, no matter if they resist or not.

* BareYourMidriff: Tends to wear a crop-top under a bolero jacket.

* LeaveNoSurvivors: Hiro tends to destroy even the last one of the Pirate Ships not caring about their pilots retreating or begging for their lives. In his view, they are murderer maniacs that have killed innocent people and will do it again if he let them escape. That said, this would be a downgraded version if a pirate manages to survive the destruction of his ship and is left defenseless, Hiro won't kill them.

* BuxomIsBetter: She's busty and everyone is envious of it.
