So, this topic got me thinking. Who's on board for a freeform Star Trek RP? We could be a space station; I'm thinking of playing the Captain in charge of it, and ocassional NPCs... and others could play other officers, diplomats from the Klingon or Romulan empires, merchants, civilians, etc...

No overarching plot, just character situations, if anyone feels like actually GMing plots, it'd be cool. NO godmoding, please.

Setting? Some border space space station with lots of civilian traffic, right after the Dominion War. Any takers?

UPDATE: Here's a sample profile form (this is not my character for the game):

Name: Dev Em
   
Nickname: None.
   
Position: Medical Officer

Race: Bajoran

Gender: Male

Age: 43
   
Place of Birth: Bajor
   
Hair: Black, greying at the temples
   
Eyes: Black
   
Height: 6'
   
Weight: 170 lbs
   
Languages: Bajoran, Cardassian, Federation Interlingua, Vulcan
   
Marital Status: Single
   
Physical Description: Dev Em is a tall man around 6 feet, slender and fit, he wears his black and blue medical uniform with only two full pips on his collar, something a bit strange to behold as he is a mature man, in his late 30s/early 40s. His jet black hair is cut short, and it matches the shade of his eyes, as black as starless space, with a depth that shows you this man has seen a lot of things, and even though many weren't pretty, he hasn't let that fact beat him down. On his right ear, wich is scarred, he wears a simple, silver traditional piece of Bajoran jewelry, with a single, short chain and small brace huging the carthylage.
 
Psychological Profile: Em has been through many things, has lost loved ones many times, but he hasn't let that turn him into a bitter man, he's a spiritual person, reveling in his religiousity, but he is not boring. He is cheery and likes to have fun, and, even if he's a MD, he would make a good counselor, as he can listen very well, and provide advice.
 
Family History: Em's family is of the Dem d'jarra, a "clan" of philosophers and poets. His parents, Dev Jar and Dev Ra, where members of a civilian, pacifist group that spoke against the Cardassians during the early years of the occupation. That caused them, and Em's older sister, Dev Kai, to be arrested and sent to the Cardassia IV labor camp.
 
Personal History: After being left alone at 13, Em joined, or rather was taken into the Shakaar resistance cell, where he became friends with some of the older members, like Kyra Nerys and Lupaza, who built him a new earring when his original one was torn from his ear by a Cardassian soldier.

He grew up under the wing of Tel Sur, the main medic of the Shakaar cell, whose d'jarra was one of the most respected line of healers of the planet. Under Tel's wing, Em became skilled as a medic, treating his fellow resistance members. He also participated in many strikes, killing Cardassians when needed, but he didn't like it a bit. That doesn't mean he can't defend himself: he spent' his adolescense and early adult life as a resistance fighter.

Life as a resistance fighter wasn't easy, and he lost many loved ones, included the girl he loved, Par Nima. He still remembers her scream dying under the fire of a cardassian gun....

After the Withdrawal, he graduated as an MD specializing in emergency room work, and remained on Bajor, working at the Ilvian Medical Complex (as well as on other places such as Deep Space Nine, where he met Dr. Julian Bashir). Many years later, after everything was settled, he felt the need to travel, but he didn't want to abandon his medical career. So he decided to join StarFleet.

He went through a two year course at StarFleet medical, where he caught up with standard Federation procedures, with no problem, Bajoran medical sciences being very advanced. He served first on board of the USS Pasteur, a medical vessel, then went back to his planet to serve on DS9, then serverd on board of the USS Drake, and has now been transferred to the USS Medusa.

After a brief period at the USS Medusa, where he served as Acting Chief Medical Officer, he was transferred to the USS Philista, a medical ship, where his talents as a field doctor and researcher were put to use.

During his time on the Philista, among other things, he developed a cure for a virus that a race of alien creatures had unintentionally infected the humans at the Caldos IV colony. He developed the cure for the mutated strand of the virus. His knowledge of xenobiology, together with his experience with bio-engineered weapons was what helped the most, for the virus was completely alien and at the same time engineered for human physiology.

Just one year after joining the Philista's crew, he was offered a teaching position at Starfleet Medical, due to his outstanding abilities as a field doctor. He took it, and spent three years there, until he felt the need again to be out in the stars, and asked for a transfer. He was offered the position of CMO on the USS Hiei, and finally given a promotion to Lieutenant, albeit acting.
 
Academic Records

Em's specialties in medicine are obviously field medicine and emergency room procedures, but he's also a good doctor to have around people, treating families and the like. He also has a degree in xenobiology, being very interested on how life got started all around the galaxy.

I can do engineer or security. I might be able to come up with some scenarios, but I dunno about GMing.

Nothing says there can't be two Trills, but a Vulcan CMO sounds nice. Just make sure she's in heat. :P

If you want to do scenarios, we can all work them through together. Security or Engineer is cool. I'm gonna be the CO, Captain or maybe even Commodore/Rear Admiral.

Well, yeah, sure, but variety is kind of the point, isn't it? Just ocurred to me, that Vulcans have their Pon Farr (urge to mate) once in seven years... that's not really fitting for an adult RP site. :D

Man, Commodore/Rear Admiral takes a lifetime to achieve. But good luck. :)

Oooooooooooo Star Trek I loved Star Trek since I was little, own the DVD set for Deep Space 9 my favorite version ever.

Remember Trills do not HAVE to be joined either, most aren't. As for me I'm thinking shadey roguish Betazoid/Orion female with both empathic skills not a full telepath and pheromones but genetically tinkered with a mechanical implant to control them, have them affect members of either gender and enhance them since generally they are not as strong as a pure Orion woman. Her story is a Orion woman seduced and controlled a male betazoid of some no small amount of skill in telepathy to produce a child to be useful to her people.

In the ENTERPRISE series it was shown the Orion women run things so it fits the Canon and the tech now would be very good for genetic tinkering and implants to assist in dealing with pheromones. After all female Orions away from home might need to supress them for that, if they are active. Likely by now I would think in the modern era.

She will be attached to the Orion Syndicate on the surface as a Diplomat and Negotiator but be pretty much a rogue with a really nicely outfitted small ship and be well - moral flexiblity. Is not opposed to abusing her natural talents to get the job done regardless of what that is.

(just picture her with light green skin just a tad over flesh tone, clothing will generally look around that level very ,um sexy but a likely not as sheer in spots and a little more coverage for modesty - but she likes the attention)

Maybe she's got a rare Vulcan disease that keeps her in a constant state of Pon Farr?

Well, we can start at the rank we want. Each department head will be Lt. or Lt. Cmdr. at the very least, and I'll lbe the CO, so.

Makes two of us, DS9 fans, that's why I'm making this a space station.

Sounds good, but remember that the Orion Syndicate itself is an outlaw organization in the Federation and its allies; maybe she could work for the Syndicate but pretend to be an independent, or a representative of a dummy corporation?

Pon Farr is characterized by violence, fall into a maddened state, and must mate or seek medical attention within 8 days or die. I don't think a constant state of Pon Farr would be a good idea.

Oh, yea, coincidentally I'm interested.  :P

Something similar, like an offshoot of Pon Farr that makes them edgy (but not full blown violent) and horny all the time.

Cool, what kind of character?

Of course, again, remember that Vulcans might not be the best bet for an RP where sex might be involved... and while i have no problem with more than one Vulcan character, more than one with a rare Pon Far derived disorder to make them horny would be a stretch. :P Perhaps half Romulan, or half Human?

I also am a big star trek fan.   So is very much interested it.   Have a concepts for a Orion or a Orion-Romulan crossbreed.

Hmm, touche, good sir. >.<

And... I'm thinking of either COS, CEO, or CMO. As for race and such, I'm not decided yet.

I'm okay with being half romulan.  Perhaps she fights against the aggressive tendancies of her Romulan blood.

Cool. I'm guessing since there's so much interest in Orions, we might make this on the border with Orion space. Perhaps you can coordinate with RubySlippers and play a cohort to her Orion character?

I think CSO (Chief Science Officer is the usual shorthand, if that's what you meant by COS) would be your best bet, since other players (see above) have expressed interest in CEO and CMO.

Sounds good to me. Start working on those characters, people!!!

jouzinka

Half Human or half Romulan doesn't make the Vulcans any more 'horny,' see Spock and T'Pol, respectively. But sure one disorder can be tolerated. I will give up the Vulcan concept happily, trippingsatyr, it's not important to me. As I see the frequency of the 'exotic' species pop out, I may as well go with a Human doctor to weight things out (and be completely happy with it at the same time). :)
