Rp Level: High casual to advanced.
Dedication Level: I don't know what yardstick to measure this with. It all depends on my interest, if I'm enjoying the writing and my partners.
Biggest Rp Pet Peeve: If you one-line me and use chatspeak where it doesn't belong, I will CUT you. Pay attention to lore and genre conventions. DO NOT fall silent on me. IF you're bored, say so. If something happens, freaking tell me. I want to get to know my partners out of character too.
Teach New Rpers Or Coach New GM's: Yes. Very much so. I love teaching and doing what I can to improve people's skills, and challenge their ability. I love fostering growth.

Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: No tats or piercings. Scar, right wrist (1 cun (3 finger widths), medial from hand crease.) Sits across radial bone on anterior, 45° angle, looks self inflicted, but is actually from fending off an attacker in middle school. Burn scar left knee, the size of a quarter. Stuck knee against hot muffler of lawn mower on accident around 2004. Burn scar torso lower right quadrant inferior to navel and one inch lateral, spilled hot-ass ramen on self last winter. Some of the liquid got lodged in waist band of shorts and caused burn.

Relationship Status: Semi-open longterm relationship/domestic partnership
Personality: INTJ/P, Turbulent quality. Swings to INFJ/P at times. Born a Pisces, much of Tearston's personality has been altered by their experiences, bu thtey still posses a deep emotional reservoir. Highly creative, great with abstract reasoning and special reasoning, Tear spends much time considering many problems. The overall personality has lead to a life of creative and intellectual pursuits.
Habits:
Hobbies: Reading, writing/RPing, PC gaming especially MMORPG's, graphic design work. Trained in martial arts from the age of 7. Is a firearms and explosives enthusiast.

Music - listening, spinning records and live mixing, writing music and producing in digital audio workspaces such as FL Studio (Fruity Loops). Tear has been a musician since the sixth grade, and is self-taught on a few instruments not learned in school. Singing is another hobby band while somewhat skilled, they are terribly self-conscious about singing for others. Hiking, bushcraft and survival skills. Cooking is a joy and passion, and is considered to be an art form.
Fears: Tearstone has arachnaphobia to a moderate degree. Blame watching the movie by the same name when they were little. Fears physical trauma especially surgery. This gives them the heebie-jeebies. They don't care for needles but will endure some poking and prodding. Tearstone fears leaving behind a negative legacy for their loved ones.

Yeah, no, we're keeping it to hollywood ranges.
Try more like ship-to-ship combat.
Boarding crews can be done too, but that's later. For now it's two big metal behemoths bashing each other with terribly destructive weaponry.
fighter-to-fighter combat is also doable. But that's pretty typical I would think. - Though I love my some fighter-jock action. I'm all about it.

So yeah.. interested. I haven't any CS's available for Arena yet. *blegh*
Also working on a Space-based arena battle system with a couple others. Should be interesting, and hopefully useful. After that, playtesting will start.

You have my Destroyer (and cruiser, and battlecruiser).
The great thing about the Guild, is this place is open to all skill levels, and all types. There's something for everyone here.
Free (Freestyle) is very much designed for newer people, or those that are less worried about Quality.
Casual - Some quanity and quality standards are present, but most people should have no trouble meeting it's requirements.
Advanced - Much more stringent standards and rules here in regards to quantity and quality. Though sometimes you run into a lot of purple prose.
Each section has their rules defined in their blubs, and in a sticky for each section. If you're looking for an RP to join, check out each sections Interest Check area, as well as the General Interest Check section.

True, that's why they're 'swing' positions. They can be, and often are, handled by a central security chief. Operations Officer is usually held by the CE, though a COO like O'Brien can be held by an individual. They operate in a gray area of sorts, so not necessarily something that needs a dedicated player, and it can be hard to play without the right understanding. A CNS/Counselor doesn't have a huge need, but they do have shipboard functions. Also a civilian can fulfill that role as well.
It all kind of depends.
It all kind of depends.
These are core positions.
Captain
XO
Chief Science Officer
Chief of Security
Chief Engineer
Chief Medical Officer
Swing Positions
Chief of Nero-sciences (CNS/Counselor)
Chief Tactical Officer
Chief Intelligence Officer
Chief Operations Officer
Just a thought. - I'd be interested in doing this as well. If it's based around a single ship, something like this could support up to 24 players and a single GM, or two. Though the CO and/or XO can suffice in this capacity as well. With each department having three junior officers (ensign grade) the total could come to twenty-four (CNS usually doesn't have more than one, but it could). And of course, Nameless Ensigns, Nameless Crewmen are always available for redshirts. - It would be a pretty well defined command structure, but it could easily work as a large RP or small RP.
Are you planning for this RP to run for just a few weeks, or do you want it to run for a long period of time?
Are you going to be using sources like the TNG and DS9 Technical Manual, Star Trek Encyclopedia, and/or Memory Alpha?
What kind of posting rates are you looking for?
Do you have a ship class/design in mind, or would you be winging it?
Sorry if this seems a little in-depth. I come from Star-Fleet.com and this is in part how our structure is set up. Course I love the Guild too. XD

yeah NMS and Ded are pretty cool, and flexible.
It's more about telling the story you wanna tell here. Which I like. and it's work at your own pace, or however you're collabing with. Collabs are very much encouraged.

Came across an old cartoon, The Tick. Anyone here heard of it? It's so outlandish, and corny. Yet there's something charming about it that just makes me smile. Anyways point being, Eva might have some odd villains to battle, and weirder friends. Once I finish my post I'll get to work on them, I'm guessing my post will be up in a few days but no promises on that.
SPOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!
