Crewmates - Among Us parody

CHARACTERS
Captain Jyn Zappa*: Arrogant and Self-Aggrandizing, they are in charge of the vessel. And that’s probably not a great thing. [They also dress in overly official, grandiose fashion.]
First Officer Cory Cyan*: Deferential and quite the suck-up. They agree with everything the Captain says. Also not great at their job - they were only hired because they are the captain’s brother in-law. [Color: Cyan]
Science Officer Olive/Oliver Jade*: Calm and very logical, Science Officer Jade tends to notice problems quickly, but is less able to get others to listen to them. [Color: Green]
Doctor Azure McGurk*: Gruff and Grumpy. Always getting assigned the jobs no one wants. [Color: Blue, plus a doctor’s coat.]
Security Chief Harli Mudd*: The Security Chief is militant and stern. But is also obsessed with minor crimes, and often overlooks the larger threats because they are so obsessed with punishing relatively small infractions. [Color: Brown]
Maintenance Chief Alfred/Alina Topaz*: The Maintenance Chief is lazy, and delegates all work. Always eating. [Color: Tan]
Officer Leroy/Leera Limón*: The Communications Officer. Very sour in disposition. [Color: Lime]
Officer Terunga Violet: The ship’s Navigator. A bit absent-minded. [Color: Purple]
Ensign Cem Black*: One of the ship’s two pilots. They are very petty, and frequently argue with Ensign White over who outranks who. [Color: Black]
Ensign Terry White*: One of the ship’s two pilots. They are very petty, and frequently argue with Ensign Black over who outranks who. [Color: White]
Ensign Don/Dawn Cherry*: A younger crew member who is eager to impress, and gunning for a promotion. After they are put in charge of guest services, they become obsessed with getting good reviews on the comment card. [Color: Pink]
Chef Jaundice*: They speak primarily in a strange language no one can understand. In truth, they do speak english, but prefer to pretend otherwise, because they just don’t like anyone. (The actor is invited to make up their own version of the ‘fake language’ as they see fit) [Color: Yellow]
Cadet Amber/Ambrose Jerc*: Been here awhile. Purposefully unhelpful, as they stay out of trouble. Lied on their resume. [Color: Orange]
Intern Noob Crimson: Brand new to the ship. A bit out of sorts, but does notice they keep getting the most dangerous assignments…. [Color: Red]
Ethel & Linus Hinkleberry: Passengers on the ship. They are a bit much. They dress like stereotypical tourists. (If genders change, the characters are sometimes renamed to “Ethan & Lucy”)
Klatu & Gorn: Aliens who sneak onto the ship in the guise of new recruits. They aren’t very good at feigning their humanity, and yet most strangely don’t seem to notice. [They dress like very over-the top alien creatures. They are not subtle, which forms part of the joke]
