OC Spam III: Spam Harder

Description

I'm gonna run out of stupid titles soon.

So this is Adam Lee, the main character of this science fiction story I was writing. He was one of the first children born in the colonies on Titan and was drafted into the military when Saturn's colonies went to war with Earth over what's best summed up as a bunch of stupid bullshit. As of the story's beginning he's the Head Navigator of an Athena-class warship. The blue stripes mean he's in navigation, and the sets of four stripes on his sleeves and his lapel mean that he's the head of his field on the ship.

The big clunky things on his shoes are magnets, since in his world artificial gravity can only be reliably produced with centripetal force (spinning), which takes a lot of energy away from the weapons systems and engines. The only places on most ships with any gravity are the sickbay and the living quarters, and it still kind of sucks since the pull on your feet is greater than the pull on your head which can't be pleasant. (I've been reading the wikipedias. Check this out, it's cool.)

But no the reason for the magnets is that everywhere else they just pick a surface to be the "floor" and put a layer of magnetic metal under it and just give everyone magnet boots.

Adam's character actually isn't all that fleshed out yet, which is part of why I haven't been working on his story as much as the worldbuilding. The basic plot elements are in place but I'm not listing those off because spoilers (for something most of you will never read). The only real traits I think I'll stick to is that he's not very talkative and reads about cryptography in his spare time.

Wouldn't the magnets mess with the computer systems of the ship?
Also I really like your clothing design.
