Meet The Crew

LSS Nautilus

Pilot

Spaceman Jim

Spaceman Jim is the designated pilot of the LSS Nautilus. Always up beat and ready for the challenge, there’s no place Jim won’t accompany you in your language learning journey! He’s a real time player.

Fun fact: ‘Jim’ was originally just the placeholder name for our first human astronaut, but the community grew to like the name and it stuck!

Navigation

Luna Cat

Luna Cat is the navigations specialist of the LSS Nautilus, but she’s never too interested navigating anywhere, preferring to stay close to the Sun for that sweet, sweet warmth (but not too close!)

Fun fact: Luna Cat is named after Doc’s neighbour’s cat. She and Tyson (Doc’s Dog) used to play together. He’d often go for her treats!

Captain

Captain Tyson

Captain Tyson is the Captain and leader of the LSS Nautilus. He’s a chill mellow guy, doesn’t know what’s going on most of the time but he’s having fun all the same, even though he doesn’t really do anything! Just a silly lil’ dude, a very sleepy fellow indeed!

Fun fact: Captain Tyson is modeled after Doc’s closest ally and friend, Tyson the dog! He spent all day sleeping and didn’t really do much, but if you’d move away he’d get up, waddle closer to you and plop back down to bed!

Resident Alien

Speck

No one knows what he is, they just found him floating outside, slowly spinning around, just drifting about. They’ve managed to find out his name is speck based on a driving license from Luyten B conveniently found in his wallet. The Lingonaut crew are determined to teach him Human languages so they can ask him about what exactly he’s doing here! One thing’s for sure, Jim won’t be letting him drive, Speck’s license expired last year!

Fun fact: Speck was originally supposed to both be the mascot for Lingonaut and the name of the app, before it became lingonaut! He also went through many design iterations before landing on his current befuddled-looking self

Engineer

Bolts

Bolts is the resident engineer of the LSS Nautilus, in charge of maintenance and the introduction of new features. He’s the go-to guy for EVA activities on account of his ability to fly, and he’s pretty good at it too! He checks to make sure no other Bots are up to any shenanigans on Lingonaut, and so maintains the Anti-cheat

Fun fact: Bolts is the bot often shown when the site is down for maintenance! You ever find it’s taking too long to update, blame him!

You decide!

Your OC

The crew always needs more Lingonauts to man their posts and keep the LSS Nautilus shipshape! By joining the ‘MAX’ Parity tier on our Patreon you not only get everything from all previous tiers and a massive thank you for helping our mission in making learning languages free for everyone, but you get to have your OC join the Lingonaut crew! We’ll reach out to you through discord for the specifics and have your OC recreated in the lingonaut art-style to join the crew here and throughout the app and website!
