[OOC] Star Trek: To Boldly Go

[Blue Demon]

Accepting applications for Chief Engineer

These are the voyages of the starship Orion. We will continue to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Rules:

• My word is final
• Respect the other players.
• If there is a problem, take it to me (or another GM)
• Please don't spam. We have a chat room for that here
• No God-Modding or metagaming.
• I reserve the right to reject any character if they don't fit the setting.

About:

The year is 2734 and the ongoing war with the Dominion is in full swing. The Federation and the Klingon Empire have entered a cease fire to join forces against the Dominion. The Dominion have allied with the Cardassians and taken over Deep Space 9 and the Bajoran system including the Bajoran wormhole. So far the Empire and the Federation have only suffered losses in their encounters with the Dominion. The worst was when the Seventh Fleet tried to stop the incursion in the Tyra system which resulted in the loss of 98 ships.

However, the Federation, with Klingon assistance, is mounting an attack to retake Deep Space 9 and the wormhole. The Federation can't afford to lose or else Vulcan will fall to the Dominion. Already the fleet there is nearly defeated. Overseeing the attack are Captain Benjamin Sisko and General Martok. The Fleets slated to be involved were the Second (from Vulcan), Fifth and Ninth (Comprised of Klingon ships).

We are not involved. USS Orion is currently being utilized as an escort ship for Ambassador Spock as he continues his work with the Romulans.

  - The first test of the soliton wave is conducted near Bilana III.
  - A peace treaty is established ending the centuries-long war between Krios Prime and Valt Minor.
  - The Romulans experiment with interphase cloaking technology, but fail to perfect it.
  - Starfleet introduces the Danube-class runabout.
• 2369:
  - Montgomery Scott is discovered to be alive, suspended in the transporter buffer of the USS Jenolan.
  - The Cardassian Union ends its occupation of the planet Bajor, which lasted fifty years.
  - A Cardassian sneak attack on the Federation system Minos Korva, staged in the McAllister C-5 Nebula, but is thwarted, leading to Captain Picard being freed.
  - Commander Benjamin Sisko and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax discover the Bajoran wormhole, the first stable wormhole known to exist.
  - A crucial victory is won for Spock's reunification efforts on Romulus when Vice-Proconsul M'ret defects to the Federation.
  - The crew of the USS Enterprise-D, along with Romulan, Klingon, and Cardassian interests, deciphers the last work of Professor Richard Galen, revealing that a race of ancient humanoids is a common ancestor of most species in the Milky Way Galaxy.
  - On Earth, the quadricentennial of Apollo 11's landing on the moon in 1969 is celebrated.
  - Another variant of the Starfleet uniform is released, this time with the entire outfit black except for the division color on the shoulders.
• 2370:
  - A second Borg incursion into Federation space begins. It is defeated by the Captain Picard and the USS Enterprise-D.
  - Standard warp drive is discovered to have detrimental effects on the fabric of subspace. A program is launched to develop a safer means of warp travel, which is first incorporated on the Intrepid-class.
  - Kathryn Janeway is chosen to command the USS Voyager.
  - A group of Federation colony worlds declare an unofficial war on the Cardassian Union after rejecting the Federation-Cardassian Treaty. They call themselves the Maquis.

  - The USS Voyager briefly reestablishes contact with the Alpha Quadrant via the use of a Hirogen communications network.

Goals:

As a GM my goal is to introduce fun, new environments (with a few nods to the TV series and movies). I welcome input and suggestion for directions the RP can take. This will be partially sandbox, I wont force direction if all the players take initiative, but I'm not afraid to be rather heavy handed if I think the player run direction is floundering.

I do have a first arc planned, but it's malleable. _{Things never run as planned.}

Character Information:

Character Sheet

Name:
Age:
Rank/Position:
Race: (Made up alien races are allowed within reason. Borg and any Dominion races are not allowed as Player Characters)
Appearance: (A photo is optional but when used does replace this section. Anime face claims are not allowed.)
Personality: (YC in a nut shell. Don't go overboard, a paragraph is fine. I want most of this IC)
History: (What brought YC to this point? Doesn't have to be a novel. But it should be longer than a few sentences.)
Skills: (What does YC contribute to the starship?)
Other: (Do you feel like there is anything else you'd like to add?)
Sample Post: (Yes, this is required.)

Please do not post your CS in the tab until I have OK'd your sheet. Elsewise it's automatically rejected. If your character is accepted please don't use hiders (unless there is a photo that is abnormally large) in the CS tab.

You are allowed more than one character. You can have as many as you can handle (Unless it gets out of hand).

How I'm choosing characters going for the same position:

• If I have two finished characters who both want the same position I'll decide based on their skills and will choose the character that will benefit the ship most. The remaining character will be allowed to be under them.
  • IE: Years in Starfleet, Prior Training, Age and In The Field Experience
  • EX: Two characters vie for the Chief Medical Officer. Character B gets the spot. Character A can be either a nurse or just a regular Medical officer.
• Person A's first character is the Helmsman and A wants their second character to be Chief Engineer. However person B wants their first character to be the Chief Engineer. I would give the spot to person B because they don't have a prominent position yet.

@Blue Demon

Does that include Cardassians?

[Blue Demon]

No it doesn't. The Dominion races are those that make up the Dominion from their own space, not those that are in alliance with them.

(Because I was too lazy to write them all out.)

[Wade Wilson]

Please allow me to get over the fact that Cardassians is way too much like Kardashians.

^{It gets me every time}

Name: Catherine Linda Bishop
Age: 35
Rank/Position: Lieutenant-Commander/Chief Medical Officer
Race: Human
Appearance: She stands at 5'3, an athletic build, and few curves. She has brown hair kept in a bun and grey eyes. Her skin is pale, with a dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks. She has a birthmark on her ankle.
Personality: A consummate professional, she is dedicated to her work and the efficiency of her medicine. Stubborn and sarcastic.
History: Coming from a family of doctors, Catherine was destined to become a physician, but she decided that her talents would be best spent dealing with diseases with Starfleet than in a private practice. She has been a part of Starfleet for seven years now.
Skills: She practiced on a few ships before becoming the CMO on the Orion, from trauma care to full blown surgery. She graduated from Starfleet Academy as a Medical Officer with high marks.
Other: She speaks with a slight southern accent. She also fences as a hobby.
Sample Post: "Captain, would you please hold still!" This was demeaning, Catherine thought while running after the Captain of the USS Cancer with a syringe--his booster shot. "Bishop, could it not wait for another day?!" Captain Brandon Mason shouted over his shoulder while continuing his brisk walk to the bridge. "Disease does not discriminate between a week late or ten weeks late for renewing a booster, Captain! If you hold still for one second, I'll be out of your way and you can go gesticulate on the bridge!" Captain Brandon stood still, and in five seconds, a swab of alcohol cleaned the skin on his neck, the injection was made, and a bandaid was placed over the injection site. He winced. "There. I'm done." "Thank you, Bishop!" With that, he walked into the bridge. "You have another one due in a month!" With that, she began running back to her infirmary.

[Blue Demon]

@KentsukanI've reviewed your CS. And It's a great start. However there are a few sections that need improving.

Hider

1) Being 25 and a Chief Medical Officer is a little bit of a stretch since you have nothing to support it with. Was she a child prodigy? Is she unusually adept in medicine?

2) Her History. It was very brief and only focused on the medical side of things. But what about her childhood? What made her choose Starfleet over private practices? Where else has she served having been in Starfleet for seven years?

3) The Sample Post. Right off the bat, all I could see was that it was all mashed together. Every time a different person speaks it needs to have a separate paragraph. See below for what it should look like:

"Captain, would you please hold still!"

@Kentsukan

Second, this is a little nit-picky, but it's a hypo-spray. Not a syringe.

Thirdly, the post was very bare bones. There isn't a lot of substance involved. Substance can come from details. For example, where had Catherine ambushed the Captain? Had he been avoiding her so she waiting until he came out of his quarters? Or did he go to the infirmary where she had tried to give him his hypo and he had run off?

I don't want you to be discouraged. If you're willing to work with me, I'm willing to work with you.

Also,
I see you lurking Morden Man. You know you want to join us ~

@Blue Demon

I can add more to the posts and her background. However, 25 was a typo: she's 35. I'll go fix that first.

Here's an update:

Name: Catherine Linda Bishop
Age: 35
Rank/Position: Lieutenant-Commander/Chief Medical Officer
Race: Human
Appearance: She stands at 5'3, an athletic build, and few curves. She has brown hair kept in a bun and grey eyes. Her skin is pale, with a dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks. She has a birthmark on her ankle.
Personality: A consummate professional, she is dedicated to her work and the efficiency of her medicine. Stubborn and sarcastic.
History: Catherine was born, raised, and educated in Texas, as the eldest of five children. When she was younger, she waddled between a couple different career ideas, but coming from a family of doctors, Catherine was destined to become a physician. Her college years were not very note worthy, beyond her studies in biomedical engineering and fencing hobby. She competed in a few regional competitions, and won second place in saber in one competition. By the time she was ready to enter medical school, she decided that her talents would be best spent dealing with diseases with Starfleet than in a private practice. Exploring new frontiers means encountering new diseases, which need to be studied. Catherine hopes to be the first to encounter (and most importantly, cure) the diseases that may potentially inflict the crew. She has been a part of Starfleet for seven years now. She has served on the USS Cancer, Atlantis, and Jupiter.
Skills: She practiced on a few ships before becoming the CMO on the Orion, from trauma care to full blown surgery. She graduated from Starfleet Academy as a Medical Officer with high marks.
Other: She speaks with a slight southern accent.
Sample Post:

"Captain, would you please hold still!"

This was demeaning, Catherine thought while running after the Captain of the USS Cancer with hypo-spray--his booster vaccine. He was supposed to have renewed it ten weeks ago, and after speaking to him in the mess hall, sending him reminders, and even slapping a note on the door to his quarters, she had enough. She would make him get his booster, and if she had to drag him out of his Captain's chair, she would.

"Bishop, could it not wait for another day?!" Captain Brandon Mason shouted over his shoulder while continuing his brisk walk to the bridge.

"Disease does not discriminate between a week late or ten weeks late for renewing a booster, Captain! If you hold still for one second, I'll be out of your way and you can go gesticulate on the bridge!"

Captain Brandon stood still, and in five seconds, the spray was applied. He winced. "There. I'm done."

"Thank you, Bishop!" With that, he walked into the bridge.

"You have another one due in a month!" She shouted and then began to run back to her infirmary.

Name
Xiril Poxx
_{(seer-uhl pocks)}

Age
44

Rank/Position
First Officer

Race
Cephanian
_{The Cephanians are an aquatic humanoid species from the planet Cepha. Hailing from a completely submerged planet, Cephanians have mucous-producing skin, gills, webbed fingers, and other fish-like characteristics. They are a quiet, private people known for their humorlessness and brevity.}

Appearance
Most say Cephanians all look alike. As the only differentiation between male and female Cephanians are that one is blueish green and the other is greenish blue, this is not entirely without merit. Though Commander Poxx has dark blue stripes lining most of his body, this is hidden by his uniform, leaving the rank-denoting stripes on his sleeve the only face-value distinction between himself and any other Cephanian. Though not especially short or tall, Commander Poxx's Cephanian biology leaves him with very little fat, giving him a somewhat muscular physique.

Personality
Commander Poxx's mannerisms and personality are fairly standard for a Cephanian. He keeps most interactions as brief as possible, spends most of his time off alone in his quarters, and has little patience for galas and ceremonies. Other than his work, Commander Poxx has three hobbies; swimming, underwater horticulture, and martial arts.

History
Xiril Poxx was hatched on Cepha, spending his youth absorbing the culture and knowledge of his people. His father, Luril Poxx, was the Chief Medical Officer for the USS Tyson, which fostered Xiril's interest in joining Starfleet from a young age. Xiril went on to join Starfleet Academy when he became old enough and was put onto an expedited path to becoming an ensign aboard the USS Highlander, after graduating second in his class. Though originally eager to become a medical officer like his father, Xiril switched divisons after his second year, and has proudly worn Command Yellow ever since. After serving aboard the USS Highlander for several years, Commander Poxx was recently transferred to the USS Orion, where he now serves as First Officer.

Skills
Though he comes off as cold, Commander Poxx's ability to distance himself from emotion and remain calm under pressure is a major asset. As a Cephanian, Commander Poxx can use sonar to maneuver in complete darkness, and stun most humanoids. His youth spent underwater has given him a heightened perception of his position in three-dimensional space, making him an excellent helmsman should the need ever arise.

Sample Post

"Inhale red, exhale blue."

Commander Poxx stood with his back completely straight, with a fist on either hip and his legs spread far apart. The horse stance, the recording had called it. The voice speaking to him was a soft woman's voice, resonating with an almost maternal timbre. He had spent the morning in his room -- as he often would -- practicing tai chi. It relaxed him, and for an outdated human practice, that was fairly surprising. In lieu of his usual black and yellow uniform, he wore a simple white gi.

The lights in Poxx's room were dim, set to a deep blue color that made it seem like he was at the bottom of the ocean. Enhancing the effect, the vents in his room were currently on aromatherapy mode, a setting that had been tweaked and perfected by one of the engineering ensigns eager to impress the First Officer.

Poxx took a step forward, bringing his hands with him as if he were scooping up a bucket. Poxx didn't remember what the recording called the movement, but he managed to remember the movements themselves, which he felt was enough. He inhaled deeply, raising his arms. His room smelled like the sea after a storm. Poxx took a step to the side and exhaled, bringing his arms close to his chest in a circular motion, making a mental note to thank the engineering ensign he had remembered moments earlier.

"Focus on your breathing. Let go of your stress."

The voice cooed to him over softer, almost inaudible recordings of undersea noises. Though Poxx was able to remain level-headed, stress was usually his only problem on the bridge. He exhaled again, feeling his limbs loosen. At least I no longer have to worry about superiors, Poxx thought to himself. Perhaps, with a race that had evolved from a prey species, stress is simply instinctual for me.

Poxx took another step back, dropping into the horse stance position before stretching his back. After a few moments of stretching, he reclined into his normal stance, and cleared his throat.

"End session."

The sounds of the ocean began to fade, and the dim blue lights began to shift to their regular white. Poxx rolled his neck to the side with an audible crack, and began to disrobe. He examined himself in a small mirror by his bedside for a moment. He was as blue and fishy as ever, and his scales showed no signs of molting, which was always good. He quickly put on his uniform that lay folded at the foot of his bed, flattening out any creases or wrinkles by hand.

When he finished dressing, he straightened his posture and attached a small metal device to his neck, covering his gills. The atmosphere in his room was kept wet enough to breathe comfortably without the device, though he would often have trouble without it on the ships air-conditioned turbolift.

He left his room, lumbering with his usual powerwalk he had honed over years to make himself appear hurried and ensure ensigns and cadets would leave him alone as often as possible. Sure enough, this would not be the case today.

"Good morning, Commander Poxx. Was the ventilation to your liking?" It was the engineering ensign he had thought about. Poxx looked at him for a moment, pausing to wonder if the ensign truly ran into him, or if he had been staking out by his quarters in hopes of being praised.

"Yes. I will be speaking to your Commanding Officer about my assessment of your alterations, though I believe he will find them satisfactory as well." He blinked, squeezing his sideways lenses together as he stared at the young man. "Will that be all, ensign?"

He shook his head. "Yes, thank you Commander. If there's an-"

"Excellent." Poxx turned his head and continued his march to the turbolift. He was thankful for the ensign's handiwork, but he had little time to stand by and congratulate him for it. Today would be a busy day, after all. The Orion would pick up Ambassador Spock shortly, and Commander Poxx would be standing to the captain's side when it happened. Poxx stepped into the turbolift, pressing a small blue button.

@KentsukanLooks good to me. However, since you're the lucky first finisher, I'm going to hold off accepting yours. Just because I want to give more people a chance to compete against your character for the Chief Medical Officer position. If no one states they want to try for the Chief Medical Officer position within two days, the spot will be yours and you can move your CS over.

@DeadBeatWalkingI finally realized where I recognized that gif. Hellboy. It was driving me crazy. :D

[Lord Wraith]

@Blue Demon I'm having a heck of a time deciding on a race, would you be able to recommend a race known for their engineering abilities/technology?

[Blue Demon]

@Lord WraithRight off hand. Vulcans or Humans. :D

Bajorans, Romulans, Cardassians, Elaysians, Betazoids, Bolians and Trills have all canonically held positions in the science/engineering career field.

But I'd think any race inside the Federation would fit the bill.

(Whew, that took me a bit to find out)

[Little Bill]

@Blue Demon Are you planning on taking Captain? Trying to figure out captain-first officer relations stuff for the sample post. Otherwise, I'll have Poxx do something solo.
Like yoga.

[Kentsukan]

@Blue Demon, thanks for the acceptance! I know I don't quite have the position yet, but like @DeadBeatWalking said above, I'd like to get some idea of how Catherine's relationship with the Captain is, along with the First Officer. Or would it be better that I wait?
