Star Trek: To Boldy Go

@Blue Demon If I had realised that I would have made Nick Captian... oh well. I'm not too bothered. I like XO position.

Oh, I thought I did take that out. sorry. I'll edit now

Star Trek: To Boldy Go

@Blue Demon Will you be playing a character? I see Ruby is going for Captain, I expected you to reserve that role :p

Star Trek: To Boldy Go

Hope I still have time to be in the running for XO. Here is a proof read version of my character from the interest check.

Nick Tylin

Name: Nick Tylin

Age: 43

Rank/Position: Commander, First Officer

Race: Human

Appearance:

Big Photo

At 178cm, or 5"10', Nick was of average height, and had an average yet physically fit build. His hair was greying and he kept a thinnish beard which was strangely scruffy and tidy at the same time. Off duty he wore glasses while preferring to wear contact lenses while on duty, he refused to have the simple corrections done to his eyes by starfleet medical, often heard saying "It's in the family tradition to wear glasses".

Personality: Straight talking, what you see is what you get with Nick. He does not hide his thoughts if he thinks they will have any impact on the situation. Extrovert without being arrogant or overbearing. One thing that people always notice is how Nick makes friends very easily, and this is usually attributed to his sincerity and open nature.

History: Growing up in rural Ireland, Nick was always known to the other kids as a bit of a nerd. He didn't fit in with the other farmers' kids in the area, more interested in books than tractors. Well, that was not entirely true, the tractors were the only part of farming he did like. After going to school in the nearest town and doing well in mathematics and physics he decided to, at the annoyance of his father, leave Ireland and head to Star Fleet Academy in San Fransisco where he Majored in engineering with minors in astrophysics and astronavigation.

Despite a few of his fellow Academy attendees becoming very well known within star fleet in later years, he never met any of them until years later when he met Commander Sisco (now Captain) during a visit to Deep Space 9. Other notable attendees during his time included Commander Riker and Lieutenant Commander La Forge, but Nick has never met either of them.

His First assignment when he graduated was on the Geo-Terraforming Vessel USS Strata where he performed well in the engineering department being quickly promoted to Lieutenant Jr. Grade after suggesting actions which led to the saving of the warp core during an overload during a freak electronic storm.

After reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander he was offered the Chief Engineering post on the USS Dublin during its construction at Mars. He spent more time in the drydock than on the actual ship but it was a post that he enjoyed greatly. It was nearing the end of construction when he was promoted to Commander and given a list of ships requiring first officers while also being offered the command of Starbase 185 which was on the edge of federation space. He didn't like the sound of being so far from everything so he applied for the First Officer position on the USS Orion for which he was accepted.

When the Dominion War broke out many ships were lost but the tough little Miranda Class survived, as it had for many years before, and was now being sent to Romulus with Ambassador Spock to talk to the Romulans who had mostly kept to themselves for many decades.

Skills: Engineering skills from past experience as CEO of the Steamrunner class USS Dublin. Diplomacy skills from base personality. Marginally above average phaser rifle marksman skills but below average, yet passable sidearm phaser skills.

Other: He likes cats, and enjoys strategy games.

Sample Post: One Week after promotion, USS Dublin, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars

"Lieutenant Commander Tylin, I am very happy to see this promotion to the rank of Commander, your work on the Dublin has been exemplary and the ship should be ready to launch within a few months."

"Thank you, Sir." Tylin replied to the Admiral with a smile on his face, he already knew the schedule for the launch but he did not comment on this to the high ranking man.

This was his chance to move out of the Sol system and see more of the galaxy. He had been here too long for his liking and hoped there was a ship willing to have him as First Officer. He had been offered the commanding position on Starbase 185, out beyond Romulan space, but would only take that as a last resort.

The Admiral continued, "We have reviewed your request to join the USS Orion and it has been approved, your application has now been sent on to the Captain of the ship." he held out a had and Nick shook it. "I wish you good luck, they will be lucky to have a First Officer with such skills as yours."

The Admiral left him standing in his own office on board the Dublin where he stood for a moment thinking about the spontaneous visit. The first he had heard of the Admiral's visit was that morning, when the admiral's ship had left Earth orbit, sending the message of the upcoming inspection as it did. Everyone on the Dublin was rushing to get things in order for the Admiral's arrival and Nick knew he was not the only one shocked when the Admiral had asked to speak to him in private. Admiral Velinov had not been present at the awarding ceremony for his promotion the week before but had been present throughout the construction of the Dublin and had been on board for inspections many times.

He was not on duty now, the Captain would now be leading the Admiral on the inspection tour of the Security and Armament departments so Nick could relax. He would, of course, have to be present for the Engineering Inspection later but that was not due for a few more hours so he headed to the transporter room and beamed to the mess hall in the surface facility below for a quick lunch, he knew engineering was in order and was not worried about an inspection this late in construction.

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

I do not have time to proof read this right now but I thought I would post this draft CS. It assumes Nick is already the First Officer on the Orion, im guessing we are not all new crew members of an older ship like this and apologise is this assumption is wrong.

Ok, I have most of my CS done (just history and sample post left to do) but I wont be posting tonight. Im tired now and I have work in the morning. I'll post it tomorrow evening.

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

peope are posting CS. I'll have to get mine up soon. Im just posting one character but I will be able modify him from XO to CEO pretty easily if he doesnt get picked for XO.

Just about to start a game of Paragon (anyone else play that?) but I might be able to get my CS up tonight (BST, what timezones are everyone else in? I find this is handy to know for RPing).

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

I will just be watching every Deep Space Nine episode I have... Don't mind me.

@Orlan

I'm digging out my Star Trek encyclopedia and star charts. Random (sometimes not so random) Star Trek episodes (from all series) are always on one of my screens here as I have them all (yes all) on DVD and they are now all on netflix so I can just stream them on my ps4 :D much easier than changing dvds

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

Im happy with DS9 tech manual, my calculations didn't take into account 24th century upgrades (warp 11 = ~8.655 if you compare charts).

I wouldnt trust Memory-beta to much, Memory Alpha is where it is at (then on to memory beta if i cant find it on memory alpha) :p

"By the 24th century, further reconfigurations were made to the layout of the bridge, including the separation of the navigation and helm station, which was replaced by the conn station (on the starboard side) and ops station (on the port side)." - Memory Alpha
^just including this quote to clear things up :p^

@bluetommy2 YEY! love it too :D I think we might have a few techno-fusspots here, hehe.

I'll put my hand up for Co-GM but if anyone else wants it im happy to step aside :)

EDIT: just put this order in at Amazon.co.uk

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

@Blue Demon Cool, I'll wait for the OOC for my CS if you dont mind then, that gives me more time to work on it. I'll only post it here if others start to post here.

Star Trek: To Boldy Go (Again)

Definatly interested, I'd like to put my name down for 1st Officer or Chief Engineer (I'll take Chief Science Officer if i have to). The Miranda is not a class I have worked with much in the past but I love researching new ships and I love the resources you have suplied.

Do you want CS posted here, or wait until we have an OOC?

It's tagged as Casual and Advanced. I'm more of a Casual RPer, but I can push to Advanced if needed, but do not expect my OOC posts to be perfect spelling and grammer.
