"The Year is 2268. As the Federation continues to take its steps into a galaxy fraught with danger and mystery around every corner, a new generation of explorers and scientists begin their first venture into this unusual world. As members of the graduating class of Starfleet Academy this year, they begin their final test. An extended training voyage, placing them into the same situations they'll soon face as fully qualified officers, under the guidance of a veteran captain and experienced enlisted crew aboard a newly refitted training vessel, they'll soon find that the final frontier is even more wild than they thought..."

Welcome, one and all! As stated in the little blurb above, the idea is that you're all Starfleet Academy officer cadets on their final test before graduation, a training cruise operating as an official Starfleet vessel. You'll be going on missions, answering distress calls, researching phenomena, and putting up with the surprise tests from your captain and the volunteer enlisted crew.

The only real rule requirements I have are at least somewhat legible grammar and spelling, and beyond that just don't do anything that's gonna make me make a rule. I understand English isn't everyone's first language so I'm happy to let some stuff go if the overall message and intent of the post is clear, and I'm more than happy to help with writing a post to make it read better if anyone needs it, so just say the word!

I'm also not a big stickler on post size. While just a single line or two is a no, I won't mind smaller paragraphs here and there as long as it keeps the story flowing through dialogue and actions. Expect me to play more of a reactionary role throughout this, presenting you with the initial scenarios for your characters, giving you all time to react and present actions/dialogue, and then showing the outcomes of that, and repeat. Essentially something like a tabletop RPG without the dice, to an extent.

While I do intend to pull quite a bit of lore from Star Trek canon and continuity, even that outside the Original Series time period of the 2260s, I'm not married to canon in any way, so if you have a character idea that doesn't fit within "official Star Trek" don't feel afraid to pitch it, and I'll work with you to get a suitable outcome. This is the Wild West era of the franchise, when anything could've happened, so I'm fine if things get a bit off-center.

Biggest thing to keep in mind is that your characters should have the experience and demeanor of cadets, so a lot of book smarts in regards to their duty stations and daily tasks, but limited practical experience. Though, I do encourage y'all to go wild with Star Trek-style tecnobabble to describe your characters' goals when doing something. The more it fits with the scenes of the show, the better!

If anyone has any questions, comments, concerns or anything else, please don't hesitate to let me know!

This is the basic character sheet template, feel free to tweak/modify it to fit your concept better as need be:

Just gonna leave this here because why not. Little bit of foreshadowing for my character

Also, if you're still around rn BC, you may wanna make a discord server for this. It makes it very easy to communicate back and forth about rps and what we're doing since people are generally more active there.

@BlizzExcellent idea!

Here's a discord link!

Server is basic right now, just one channel, but I'll make more as needed

This is the Wild West era of the franchise


Literally!

I'm going to start work on my character sheet ASAP! I'm quite excited for getting into this. I've never done a Star Trek RP before, but I love the idea of playing in that universe, especially if we're not desperately beholden to the canon as well.
I will also join the Discord as soon as I can.

I'm trying to come up with more backstory for Londo, perhaps you could give me some points on what else I could add to his history?


Family is a good starter. Did they have a normal family? Mother, Father, brothers, sisters? Grandma and Grandpa?

Or was this a line family - First Husband, First Wife, Second Husband, Second wife, Third Husband, Third Wife, etc. A lot of brothers and sisters

Pets?
Friends?
Is one or more parents well known for something?
Did they grow up in the city? Did they move? Why did they move?
When did they meet their first symbiote? First Star Fleet person?

Notable Events of childhood?
Adolescence?
How was medical school? Friends? Lovers? Got locked in the Gross Anatomy lab? First surgery?

@Silverwind Blade Absolutely love Amara, can't wait to see her in action. I'm sure she'll make a great Chief Tactical Officer. Consider her approved.

@Eviledd1984 Londo definitely seems interesting, and Trill are a lot of fun, eager to see where he goes. My only note is that as of the start of the RP, everyone is still a Cadet, just on their 'final exam' of sorts, in the form of an extended field exercise where you're serving on a real Starfleet vessel with a real captain and enlisted crew, and you all acting in the role of senior officers. Fix that up and Londo's good to go as our Chief Medical Officer

@meyerlemontree And there's our Chief Con Officer! Lot of promise and ambition, eager to see where he goes! Approved.

@Blizz Angry psychic with a violent past and a severe independent streak? Surely she's a great candidate for Security Chief, what could possibly go wrong? Welcome aboard.
