CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER OF CIEX, then WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF — a 15
Full legal name: Samuel Scott Rose (15 letters).
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 2014.
He never prefered 'Samuel', so he went by Scott from grade-school on.
After attending Auburn, he received advanced degrees from Stanford, then went to work for Space X, before it became CIEX.
Met fellow astronaut Chen Mengsei during early years at CIEX.
Known to be a comedian of sorts, always pranking people, having a good time, but that hid a darker side of drugs, alcohol, and depression, which most attribute to the Lunalpha Disaster.
He climbed up through the ranks of CIEX over two decades, competing with Donna Karper along the way.
In the 2040s, he met Chen's sister, a Chinese national, Biyu Mengsei, and they began a romance that would last the rest of his life. Though they never officially lived together, they would often spend days in virtual spaces, taking virtual trips together, even having virtual sex.
