Plugging in a First Officer for the 2nd ship:

Basic Info
Name: Arik Soong
Species: Soong type Android
Planet of Origin: Earth
Role (Cadet, Officer, Government): Office
Rank: Commander
Major: Command, minors in Helm/Nav and Tactical
Command Role (if applicable): First Officer

Physical Description Arik stands 5'11 tall and he weighs several hundred pounds though only appears to weigh about 170. His 'look' is almost stereotypical Starfleet military poster child, with a well formed haircut, slightly broad shoulders to a narrow waist, a square jaw, and generally handsome face. Unlike the previous styles of Androids, he looks fully human, though he also lacks blemishes, scars or other imperfections.

Gender: Male
Age: 14 (Appears early 20s)
General Description:

Other Information
Orientation: Unsure
O/O: Unsure
General Description of Personality: Arik tends to be curious about almost anything new, but also cautious of how image in front of others. Unlike others of his kind who came before, Arik has a strong sense of self awareness and tends to attempt to avoid embarrassment whenever possible. He is well mannered though somewhat aloof, his previous attempts at being 'one of the guys' having had mixed reactions.

At times he is perhaps overconfident, which can be off-putting to some, though overconfident may be the wrong word - he tends to know his exact capabilities, and humility is not an easily mastered human emotion.

Skills
Android Stuff- Not so much a skill, but a state of being. Arik is a Soong type Android with a manufactured body and positronic brain - that means he has all their usual attributes such as a self sustaining machine body, extreme calculations, access to many 'programs' and various skills, etc.
Singing/Guitar- Arik has taught himself to sing and play guitar (along with minor several other instruments).

History
Arik was named for the grandfather of the original creator of the Soong androids, a man whose actions made it possible for Noonian Soong to complete his creations. 25 years ago the remains of Noonian Soong's first creation, B-4, were found. Over the next decade a tiny team of Starfleet scientists used this information in addition to Data's Starlogs on himself, Lal and Lore, to reconstruct his work and improve upon it. The result, in the end, was Starfleet's latest Android - Arik.

Arik underwent rigorous study for the first couple years of his life, learning about himself and humans in an emotionally detached state. Eventually he chose an appearance for himself, and was enrolled in Starfleet Academy as a full time student. At times his schooling proved difficult - he had decided to go the Command route, which was a challenge for an android. Knowledge was easy, knowing the proper decision was generally easy, but inspiring others and the various other emotional aspects were, for obvious reasons, not as easy. Not only that, but for all that people were curious about him (usually quite friendly even), it was difficult for others to see an android giving orders in training scenarios and the like. But Arik still stuck through it and in the end graduated with honors.

Upon graduation he was assigned to his first ship where he excelled at his roles, quickly earning promotions in his early years. Eventually he found himself as the conn officer/flight controller onboard the USS Thomas Paine, a New Orleans class starship. During their travels the ship encountered a remnant from the Romulan homeworld, a ship with an enraged captain, still angry at what had happened and blaming the Federation for what happened to their homeworld several years prior. A fight broke out and both ships were terribly damaged with high casualties on both sides. Most of the command crew of the USS Thomas Paine were killed or out of commission almost immediately due to a hit to the bridge and Arik took command as next in charge. Things looked bleak for them, however, as they were outmatched by the warship. Arik opened communications in an attempt to buy time, or change their foes' minds, but he was unable to fully understand the Romulans' motivations due to his lack of emotions.

Feeling he had no choice, he did something he'd been putting off for years. They had said it was there when he was ready, but he'd always had some excuse. Finally, however, he activated his emotion chip. Flooded by emotions he was barely able to maintain awareness, but soon enough he was able to pull himself together. He pleased with the Romulans for his crew and cried for his foes at the loss of their homeworld. Taken aback by this change, the Romulans at first didn't know how to react. A passionate race, they were suddenly curious by this man who was moments ago more like a Vulcan than a man who was now suddenly changed. Eventually they came to terms, ending in peace.

Arik received multiple commendations for his effort, much to his embarrassment (yet another new emotion to deal with). He's spent the last year back at Starfleet Academy, teaching classes and learning about his emotions while the USS Thomas Paine underwent massive repairs and renovations. However when it came time to head back to space new orders came in, along with a promotion...

Doomsday

Hey slytherindoctor, is there any sort of post header format we must comply with? Also considering we have no ship name, are we waiting for a captain to name it? And it is a new ship, and we can assume all of our characters are newly commissioned to it?

slytherindoctor

Looks like a good start. It's funny that you're going with Xenexian though. It's not a race that's on Memory Alpha since it's not actually on the tv shows, but it's a book species. I don't really read New Frontier so I don't know much about them, but good on you for picking one.

Quote from: DoomsdayHey slytherindoctor, is there any sort of post header format we must comply with?

Not at the moment no.

Man you replied fast :o I added a couple more questions for ya ::)

No. We're waiting for all of the command slots to be filled and then everyone will vote on a name. I talked about that a bit in my opening post. Yes.

Sorry to run out at the last minute, folks, but it looks like I'll have to catch the next ship.

Work is going to be an all-day (and most of the night) affair for the next couple of weeks.

Good luck and have fun, though!

Welp. We're down a science officer. The science officer position just opened up.

Here's my Bio

Captain's Bio
Basic Info
Name: Kianna Vox
Species: Joined Trill
Planet of Origin: Trill
Role (Cadet, Officer, Government): Starfleet Officer
Rank: Captain
Major: Tactical Analysis
Command Role (if applicable): Commanding Officer of ship #1

Physical Description
Gender: Female
Age: 32 (Host), 235 (Symbiont)
General Description: Standing at 5’9, Kianna has a slim but athletic build with hazel eyes.


Other Information
Orientation: Bisexual
O/O: As a Joined Trill spending several lifetimes as both genders Kianna is very open sexually speaking, although there are a few things that she will refuse to do including: Gore, Humiliation, blood play, scat.

General Description of Personality (anything you think might be important): A friendly and outgoing person, with a jovial and light-hearted sense of humour; Kianna is a very comfortable in her own skin and not afraid to use it in a flirty manner to distract an enemy if required. She likes to get to know the people under her and prefers to leave rank at the door when off duty.


Skills (things that your character is particularly good at, not necessarily related to their job, but can be, should be tied into their history)
Skill 1- Tactics. Spending several lifetimes as a tactical officer and serving during several wars, Vox has a very tactical mind when it comes to warfare and battle strategies.
Skill 2- Combat. Having served through numerous wars during his lifetimes, Vox is a skilled combatant, and is proficient in several types of beam weapons, preferring a phaser rifle and Kianna has spent years learning to master the Klingon Bat’leth.
Skill 3- Diplomacy. Thanks to one of his previous hosts Vox knows how to negotiate when needed.


History
Kianna was born in Leran Manev, the capital city of Trill in 2358 to Lianl and Tanara Inneris. Kianna was always interested in the Trill culture especially the joining of a Trill and their Symbiont and was determined to become joined.
Inspired by her father, Kianna enlisted in Starfleet at the age of 18. She graduated four years later third in her class, having decided to follow the Security & Tactical track. Kianna showed natural ability to handle ground weapons as easy as writing her name was, going the tactical route was a logical decision for her. She was assigned to the U.S.S. Endurance as a tactical officer upon her graduation.
During her semesters off she would travel back to Trill and complete the tests required by the Symbiosis Commission for Joining. As it is required that a candidate prove themselves before joining, the Commission kept a close eye on Kianna’s progress throughout her time at the academy and her time on board the Endurance.
When it was time for them to choose a Field Docent for Kianna, the Commission chose former Starfleet Captain Ezri Vorel for the task. Having received a positive recommendation from Ezri the Commission placed Kianna on the list.
In late December 2389, Enyra Vox, a Doctor serving with Starfleet and the then current host of the Vox Symbiont died while on an away mission. Vox however survived and was returned to Trill. Vox, having looked at the profiles on all the applicants approved for joining, one stood out for him, a young woman by the name of Kianna Inneris. Her overall record was outstanding and he liked the fact that the kid was a joker and had a sense of humour much like his own.
The Symbiosis Commission however had other ideas. With symbionts a rarity among the Trill and with both of Vox’s previous hosts dying while serving in Starfleet they urged Vox to choose someone else, Vox however had made up his mind.
In early January of 2390 Kianna Inneris was joined with the Vox Symbiont and became Kianna Vox shortly before her promotion to Captain and assignment to her new ship.

The Vox Symbiont
Vox was born on Trill in the year 2155, and is infamous on Trill as being one of the most atypical Symbionts in Trill history, in that out of eight hosts, four of them have served with Starfleet. He is also regarded as one of the luckiest given the number times during his long lifetime he has managed to cheat death, although Vox himself considers it as either a skill or a gift depending on his mood.

Vox has had the following hosts:
• Lain Vox, female - Psychologist. Host from 2155 - 2203
• Cyrus Vox, Male – Musician. Host from 2203 - 2273
• Tlara Vox, female - Stella Cartographer. Host from 2273 - 2333
• Sorin Vox, female – Starfleet – (Conn Officer). Host from 2333 - 2365
• Rena Vox, female – Diplomat/Politician. Host from 2365 - 2375
• Enyra Vox, Female - Starfleet Medical Host from 2375- 2390
• Kianna Vox, Female - Starfleet Tactical/Captain Host from 2390 – Present
________________________________________
Lain Vox, the first host of the Vox Symbiont led as simple life on Trill as a family psychologist and mother to three children until her death in 2203.
________________________________________
After Lain’s death, Vox was transplanted into another host and became Cyrus Vox. Wanting something different for this life, and given Cyrus’s natural musical talent, Vox joined the Trill Music Society and travelled with them as their guitarist, for the majority of his life.

However tragedy struck in 2373 when, while travelling to Earth to perform at a concert the shuttle the group was in suffered an overload in their EPS grid. A console next to Vox’s bunk exploded, severely injuring him. A passing Starfleet ship returned the passengers to Trill, where Cyrus died a few days later as a result of his injuries. Luckily Vox managed to survive.
________________________________________
After the shuttle accident Vox decided to return to the simple life and became a Stellar Cartographer, creating maps of the known galaxy before settling down, getting married and starting a family.
________________________________________
Sorin was by  far the most adventurous hosts Vox had been joined with. Her desire to explore the galaxy combined with her talent at flying made joining Starfleet and pursuing a career as a pilot one of the easiest decisions of Vox’s lifetimes.

Sorin served in Starfleet for thirty two years until her death in a terrorist attack while visiting the Trill Homeworld. Again the Vox Symbiont narrowly avoided death.
________________________________________
Rena was and still is the youngest host Vox has ever taken, being joined at the age of 16. As a result of the attack Vox needed to be transplanted into a new host quickly or else it would die and Rena was the only potential host candidate available at the time.

Rena studied to become a diplomat on Trill and after only five years became the youngest ambassador in Trill history. Ten years later she brokered a peace treaty between the Renkari and the Treldor, two warring species whose space was in the outer rim of the Alpha Quadrant.
_______________________________________
Enyra Vox had a successful and rewarding Starfleet career serving on several vessels, before becoming Chief Medical Officer on board the U.S.S. Morning Star, an Olympic class hospital ship in 2385.

In late 2389 Enyra was mortally wounded on an away mission, at the age of 53. Once again, luck more than anything prevented serious injury to the Vox Symbiont.

The definition of a hero, at least in my mind, is someone who can protect what is right. To change and stop the wrong. To fight against the forces that seek to destroy you. And, at the very least ... live life well, and enjoy it with those you love.

You should have tried to find a gif of Superman crying "NOOOOOO!" after he snaps Zod's neck. Like in that Honest Trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy.
Considering a permanent retirement from Elliquiy, but you can find me on Blue Moon (under the same username).

Zealously Jaded

Basic Info
Name: L'Ther Freya (L'Ther is her family name, Freya is her first name)
Species: Bajoran
Planet of Origin: Bajor
Role (Cadet, Officer, Government): Officer
Rank: Lt Commander
Major: Medicine, Xenobiology. (Minor in Bajoran culture)
Command Role:Chief Medical Officer

Physical Description Freya is relatively tall at 5ft10, her body type is slender and works out regularly. She has long dark brown hair, blue eyes and the wrinkled nose of Bajorans. She has a scar down her right thigh where she broke her femur falling down the stairs wearing a ceremonial gown, so when she's tired or the area is damp she tends to limp.
Gender: Female
Age: 28
General Description (anything you think might be important):

Other Information
Orientation: Straight.
O/O: My O/O's
General Description of Personality:
Outspoken/opinionated She is incredibly outspoken, especially if she is right, and she usually is. She does not intimidate easily except by her mother.
Ritualistic She may not notice she's doing it, but she has replaced rituals from her Bajoran life to her own rituals, doing the same things in the same order before going to bed, sitting in the same chair in the mess, having the same meal on the same day each week. The way she stirs her tea 3 times, to how she walks thought the sick bay in the morning. Everything is a ritual, whether she realises it or not.
Conflicted: Her religion use to play a huge part to her, now...not so much, since her father's death she put her faith in science and medicine instead of chants and healing concoctions. Yet deep down she feels like something is missing, that doesn't help when she speaks to her mother, she misses her home and her people.
Methodical: Medicine doesn't always adhere to orderly method but she'd rather take extra time to do everything then rush to get them out of sick bay, after all she was the only medical student to correctly diagnose the Antaran Lung Worm instead of the Barzan Lung worm. (One has pointy teeth, the other a proboscis.)
Caring: Freya cares for everyone on the ship, it is her duty to ensure that they are healthy, seeing them laying on a bed in sick bay is a last resort. She has no qualms about setting on a ensign in the corridor and making sure they are eating right, or sleeping enough.
Obsessive: She has this need to know everything...if there is something wrong she will not stop until she knows what it is, how it happened and how to get rid of it. She is like a dog with a bone in that respect.
Clumsy: For some reason her body likes to connect with the ground more often then it should.


Skills
Skill 1- Medicine, this is a great passion of hers, she wants to heal the sick, patch the wounded and make sure that no one has to die.
Skill 2- Bajoran rituals, this is not a skill she wants to be knowledgeable in, but she is non the less. She knows a lot of the rituals and could easily perform them if necessary.
Skill 3- Hand to hand combat (providing she's not being clumsy).
Skill 4- The belaklavion, not that she wanted to learn it, she is out of practice.

History Freya grew up on Bajor just as the Cardassians were being removed, she didn't remember much of that time. She mainly had to keep her head down and not draw attention to herself. Her father was a founding member of the provisional government, she was able to hear a few of his speeches, preaching change and acceptance, to not hold animosity against the Cardassians, “because isn't forgiveness better for the soul then hatred'. A few people hated him for that, they couldn't his words, or forgiveness, at one of his speeches they smuggled in a blade and stabbed him. He didn't die for hours, she was forced to sit beside him and chant as tears streamed down her face, why could he not see a doctor? Her mother was convinced that doctors would only make it worse that it was right to go into death surrounded by his loved ones, she was 7 when he died.

Once her father passed her mother remarried, they moved from the city to a small village, her mother became the local midwife. However that didn't stop her from trying to heal everyone. Freya helped with the chanting ceremony for many years, most babies lived, some died, 'the will of prophets' her mother would tell her, but she was sure that there could be a place on Bajor for real medicine as well as religious healing.

Before her father died he traveled to DS9 to talk to Major Kira and Commander Sisko, she would join him. There were so many species she had never met before, and her small feet made her way frequently into the sick bay, much to the chagrin of Dr Bashir. With the passing of her father she kept in contact with Bashir and Kira, they guided her to where her true path was, Star Fleet medical training.

When Sisko disappeared she mourned his loss, he had disappeared, why did he suddenly leave? She was sure something had happened to him, if he was still alive he would somehow contact Star Fleet. Her mother on the other hand was singing his praises that he had 'taken his place among the prophets, he had helped bring peace to their people, and despite the fact he wasn't born Bajoran, through his actions he became one of them'. To Freya he was a great Commander, who had taken a difficult position during a time of war and had handled himself well, perhaps the pressure was too much and he just needed to get away, she knew her people could be trying. She argued a lot about this point with her mother, until it was deemed not to be spoke about by her step-father.

Once she turned 18 she told her mother she was leaving, that the small town in Bajor was too small for her, that she didn't want to be a midwife. Her mother was angry, refusing to let her leave, until her husband showed that it was the will of the prophets, that she was destined to go. Their relationship is strained at best, religion is such a huge part of her mother's life and counter to how Freya feels now that there seems like little hope of resolution.

At the academy she had almost perfect marks, her leg being a main issue with endurance as it tires easily. She finds the medical side easy, it's almost like second nature to her. She passed the academy with amazing grades and worked briefly on DS9 before heading to another ship, one a little more exploratory. There was a slight incident a year into their mission, the CMO went on an away mission to a planet that was deemed safe. It wasn't. The only part of him that came back was his com badge and his left foot. Since she was the only other Medical officer she was now in charge and some how got everyone back to Earth in one piece.

No one was willing to take away her CMO status, she had spent a year in the position, but she was needed on a new ship with new crew members and hopefully no one would be devoured by Targen Sandsnakes.

Nothing at this time.

Just for my own sanity, Ship #1 is missing a Science Officer, and after that Ship #2 needs :

Captain
Chief Medical Officer
Chief Science Officer
Chief Engineer
If found acting like an idiot, apply Gibbs-slap to reboot system.

Ship #1 still hasn't had the Chief Engineer position filled. The one person said they wanted it, but the app hasn't appeared yet.

Ship #2 most definitely does have a captain which I will be playing. Awhile ago I said don't touch the captain position.

Also, I do believe that Truman will be back in a week or two. I don't know where we'll be in terms of positions filled by that point, though.

I hate to disappoint you, but the captain isn't male. Isn't an original character either... :P

Neither is the ship an original ship.
