Trip Tanaka-LaCroix
​
As the middle son of a Metafold management dynasty, Trip was conditioned from an early age to accept his role as a supporting presence in most matters. Rather than resent the fact that he often plays second, third, or sixth fiddle, he embraces it.
​
Thus, as a born seneschal, Trip tends to gravitate toward individuals in positions of power and authority, where he might fulfill the role of dutiful and diligent right hand.
​
Metafold's historic collaborations with their Partner Across the Pacific, GEMINI, lead Trip to interact with Neon Vox and other corporate celebrities. Through their influence, he was blooded into wet work, where he discovered his talent for deception and diversion.
​
As of 2141, Trip serves as the first mate to Captain Neon Vox aboard GEMINI station. Once bitter rivals, the two now make a management power duo -- so long as they keep their arguments from exploding into general view.
