[OOC] Star Trek TNG: Adventures of the Starship Terpsichore

[RumikoOhara]

Trill are so misplayed that I only use them as NPCs in my LUG games

[LesleyDrakken]

Really? That kinda stinks. I may have never actually roleplayed Star Trek before, but I've been doing character design for so long that I'm confident I could get it right. I should say the last thing I would do is make my character a Dax clone- I really think there's a a ton of possibility for creating a huge variety of characters with different personalities there.

[RumikoOhara]

Most see the Trill as an easy way to have youth and experince all in one bag
In LUG that translates as a character that's young but skilled

[IAmTheZump]

Is it OK if I post a slightly less detailed CS that the other two above? This is my second RP ever, and I'm basically the definition of "newbie".

Please do help, I'm floundering here. My love of Star Trek besides nostalgia factor comes a lot from the character concepts- I'm a character stylist at heart, and I really appreciate the complex network of bonds and relationships among the characters, especially that 'cozy family' feeling that really evolves in TNG. I also know a little bit more about the biology of the races, because I'm a creature designer as well and find that interesting. As far as technical details like rankings and types of starships, let's just say reach me if you want to know anything and everything about Pokemon- but when it comes to 'Trek I'm dead in the water.

In Star Trek.... it could happen.... It will possibly happen.... there is a Race for it... but human tech is so..... limited.... I feel sorry for the poor humans T.T if they hadn't taken 7of9, or became allies with other races, the human race would have been wiped out eons ago. :3 As long as it is not impossible it can come about... You attract you Treky people this way... but ^_^ Happy :3

If that guy didn't take the first step into the bigger galaxy.... the Vulcans would have never come.... and then all hell wouldn't have broken loose.

[RumikoOhara]

Don't mean to be a pill but wow what an abreviated CS Rup
Are you sure you want to be the Chief Engineer, It's one of the more complicated posts on the ship and more Important than Tactical, Helm or Comms because without it the ship is a hunk of Hightech junk

Again not trying to be a pill just saying

[Rupdeus]

You're right :p

I'll be assistant.

That's fine, you don't have to write a book, just give me enough to work with.

Sorry Rup that's not really acceptable. An assistant has to a developed character, too.

[Rupdeus]

Er... Developed character? I think I will quit. :p
I don't really have the motivation.

[Maria]

Behold.... Motivation :D

[RumikoOhara]

This works as well

[Rupdeus]

That made me motivated :p

I will put a serious CS up when I have time.

I saw you needed a captain.

Name: Kleiner Jorel
Rank: Captain
Age: 34
Race: Cardassian/Bajoran
Appearance (Picture or description):

This is a load of micro's I made, based on my character. The first one is him... The others were for fun.

Personality (At least a paragraph): Not the kind of man you want to mess with, he has had a LOT of shit happen to him in his time and is known to break chairs in anger. That being said, he isn't ALL anger. He is a captain for a reason, because he knows how to keep things calm and posesses the knowledge of how to talk his way out of a confrontation, as well as how to shoot his way out. He also has a nice streak in him, he enjoys the odd game of Parrises Squares with his shipmates and is quite the cullinare, he knows how to make a good Rokkeg Blood Pie.
Backstory (At least a paragraph): He is one of the thousand Cardassian War Orphans, his mother was one of the countless women raped by the Cardassians during the occupation, the difference between him and a lot of War Orphans was that his father actually did care for him, if not for his mother... Or at least, he never showed it. Jorel lived on Bajor with his mother until he was 5, then was taken with her back to Cardassia. He was bullied terribly by the others, called weak for having Bajoran heritage. When he was 10, his mother managed, with the assistance of a Ferengi trader, to escape to Federation space. He lived on Mars until he was old enough to join the academy, he passed with flying colours and was assigned to the U.S.S. Hermes, where he worked as a Security officer.

After 4 years aboard the Hermes, he accepted a promotion to Lieutenant-Commander and was posted to Deep Space 5, where he met his wife to be, the Trill Chief Security officer, Lornana Phiz. They hated each others guts from the moment they set eyes on each other, but during an incident with a Temporal anomaly, they were trapped together in a Jeffries tube, near the core... Coolant pipes ran past them and the temporature dropped rapidly and they were forced to huddle together for warmth... Then one thing lead to another and the jokes about how they would have kept warm more easily, if they had kept their clothes, on began to circulate. After 2 years, they got married and had a son together, as well as a promotion for him to Commander. It was a year after the birth of their son that the calamity happened. The station was attacked by Maquis, they were intent on taking the station due to a large confiscated weapons compliment that was coming through, taken from a Ferengi arms dealer.... Lornana was taken prisoner by the Maquis and is assumed dead.

He took a years bereavement on Mars on his mothers farm, attempting to repopulate the Tribbles after the poor creatures one-sided war with the Klingons. Afterwards, due to his heroism aboard DS5, he was offered a promotion, as well as a ship to command. He accepted and left his mother and son back on Mars, taking with him only a Fluidic-influenced Tribble (it's exposure to fluidic space seemed to neuter it.) He has done his grieving and is ready to be a Starfleet Officer again.

And, this is a good example of Q being fun

[Maria]

The Cartashiens Raped his mother o,o what are those sisters up to? and how was that possible? JK Cardasians are Badass's :3 ALL HAIL THE DOMINION!

[mattmanganon]

Thank you, also, this calls for more Q

[LesleyDrakken]

...Yup, that's a captain. I can't really say no to Bajoran/Cardassian with all that going on, but just know it's not going to do him any favors with his crew.

And YES, DS9 influenced stuff. That's like my favorite series ever, as you can tell by the fact that I kept bumping it on the first page along with all the TNG stuff. =P Also, I'm going to say two more people + me then we can start.

Also Maria, everyone is new because it's a new starship. So yes. And also the whole Cardassian on Bajoran rape thing was addressed in the show, there's a character who has that as her backstory. Pretty legit to me.

[mattmanganon]

Out of curiosity, what year is it IC?
