Star Trek: Universe Interest Check/Recruitment Thread {LGBTQ Welcome}

[Thera Regina]

Space: The Final Frontier. The famous opening words of Gene Roddenberry's Sci-Fi TV Show Star Trek, spoken by none other than Captain James T. Kirk, as played by William Shatner. Since it's initial release in 1966, the show has become a huge hit, with several spin-offs all created by Roddenberry himself, or by his son. Now, you have the chance to become part of this famous universe with my very first group RP.

Ally yourself with The Federation, The Klingon Empire, The Romulan Star Empire or The Dominion, or be completely neutral. Play as a character of your own design, or as one of the existing characters. There's an entire of possibilities.



Welcome to the Interest Check Thread. I'm aware that many people have already done Star Trek Rps, but I'm hoping that my one will be a little different. In this RP, you'll have the choice to play any member of any faction, (yes, including Changelings). Whilst this RP will take some of it's inspiration from Star Trek: Online, (Namely the traits etc), the rest of it will be based upon the wonderful universe created by Gene Roddenberry.

Skipping TOS, we'll start in the 24^th Century, TNG era. Your characters can either be academy graduates who are excited about getting their first placement, or seasoned officers, experienced with captaining a Starship and the diplomacy involved. I'll list all of the Canon species available to be played below, as well as the personal traits available.

• Andorian:
  - Biographical Information: Andorians are a humanoid race native to the frozen moon of Andoria. They were one of the founding races which created the United Federation of Planets, along with Humans, Vulcans and Tellarites. Andorians have a typical humanoid structure but have several distinguishing characteristics to their species. They have antennae on the tops of their heads, blue skin and white or silver hair. Some female Andorians tend to have very elaborate hair styles. The default style for Andorians is that seen in Star Trek: Enterprise.
  - Species Traits: Andorians are a militaristic species, yet despite this are very emotional and passionate. They are known for their artistic touch and their works are highly valued. Their art academy is known to be one of the best in the Federation. Due to their militaristic nature they have a strong sense of honor and value honesty.
  Andorians traditionally fought ritualistic duals to the death known as the Ushaan. While this is now outlawed in the Federation, they still practice non-lethal duals.
• Bajoran:
  - Biographical Information: Bajorans are a humanoid species primarily residing on the world of Bajor which is located on the edge of Federation and Cardassian space. They appear nearly identical to Humans except for several distinguishable horizontal creases across the bridge of their nose. There are, however, some internal differences. Bajorans are very spiritual people. Their beliefs center around the Prophets (who reside in the Celestial Temple or Bajoran Wormhole, and are therefore sometimes referred to as Wormhole Aliens by non-Bajorans) and their adversaries, the Pah-wraith (outcast Prophets, now resident in the Fire Caves). Some Bajoran shrines and monasteries are in possession of Orbs, which are artifacts of great power created by the Prophets; coming into physical contact with an Orb often triggers visions, even among non-Bajorans.
  
  Bajorans typically wear an earring on their right ear as a symbol of their beliefs. This earring also carries the symbol of their family name and their D'jarra. D'jarras were a vital part of their social hierarchy before the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. This practice was abandoned once the Bajorans sought acceptance into the Federation after regaining their independence from the Cardassians.
  
  Bajoran names are traditionally given with their family name (surname) preceding their given name. Those who hold a religious or military title are commonly addressed by their title followed by their family name (surname) only, except on formal occasions, when their entire name is used. Bajorans do not use a third or "middle" name. Bajorans have had space-flight technology for at least 850 years. There is evidence of at least one Bajoran vessel of that time; a solar-sail craft which was accidentally accelerated to warp speed and crashed on Cardassia. This incident was covered up by the Cardassian government until it was recreated by a replica vessel under the command of Benjamin Sisko 800 years later, in the 2360s. It is known that Bajorans are biologically compatible with Cardassians, and there are medical records of a Bajoran woman serving as a surrogate mother to a Human child. - Species Traits: Bajorans are a deeply spiritual race dedicated to their gods, the Prophets.
• Benzite:
  - Biographical Information: The Benzite species are native to their home world of Benzar, and are part of the Federation. They are a humanoid race and very distinguishable in appearance, having no hair, blue skin and tendrils around their mouth and nose area. Those from the same geostructure naturally look identical. Benzites were required to wear a piece of equipment to help them breathe in a nitrogen/oxygen environment, but no longer need it. Benzites were very closed off with the Federation until the mid 24th century when a Benzite male joined Starfleet Academy. Benzites tend to be overconfident and eager to please, but very efficient.
  - Species Traits:  Benzite bodies are protected by a smooth, chitinous covering, providing them protection from physical damage. Benzites have a unique internal chemistry which prevents them from functioning in a standard Federation environment, but which also provides them heightened resistance to Toxic and Radiation damage.
• Betazoid:
  - Biographical Information: Betazed is a Federation planet and is home to a telepathic humanoid race known as Betazoids. They are physically identical to Humans except for the iris of their eyes which are completely black and significant differences in the brain, including an entire additional lobe in the Betazoid brain compared to humans, which is responsible for their telepathy. They have naturally strong telepathic abilities and are capable of sensing the emotion and thoughts of others with the exception of some races, such as Ferengi and Changelings. Some Betazoids do go above and below the typical abilities that most Betazoids possess. Some are able to directly manipulate other peoples' minds and some can barely read emotions of others. Due to their telepathic abilities, Betazoid society tends to revolve around openness and honesty. In Betazoid wedding ceremonies all participants are requested to be completely nude.
  - Species Traits: Because of their telepathic abilities, Betazoids are open about their emotions and they value honesty. Their telepathy makes them more perceptive of nearby foes than most other races, and their emotional empathy helps their teammates sustain the traumas of combat with high spirits.
• Bolian:
  - Biographical Information: Bolians are an outgoing humanoid species native to their home world of Bolarus IX and are a member of the United Federation of Planets. The Bolian appearance is distinct, with blue skin, a vertical ridge running down their face and a lack of hair. Some female Bolians however do have hair. They tend to be very friendly and out-spoken (sometimes unnecessarily). Bolian marriages sometimes consist of more than two people and additional spouses are referred to as a co-husband or co-wife. Bolians often work in service jobs such as bartenders, waiters and hairdressers mostly due to their good nature and friendly approach. Every branch of starship service suits their desire for teamwork and structure
  - Species Traits: Bolians are highly outspoken and jovial. Their internal chemistry makes them resistant to Toxic damage, as well as corrosive to foes who bite them.
• Caitian:
  - Biographical Information: Caitians are a felinoid race with distinct cat-like features. As their homeworld, Cait, has been a Federation member as early as 2286, Caitians are known to serve both in Starfleet and on the Federation Council. They're known throughout their quadrant for their intelligence, curiosity, loyalty and love of beauty. Caitians' interlocking personal and clan relationships can create large family groups that sometimes number in the hundreds.
  
  Caitians originally come from Ferasa. 800 years ago, a eugenics program aimed at creating Augments and involving Ferasan Nepeta Leaves as psychotropic triggers leads to a split of the civilization of Ferasa. While the augmented Ferasans prevail, the non-augmented Caitians retreat to a new home world outside Ferasan space.
  - Species Traits: Caitians are bipedal, with height comparable to humans, have tails that assist their balance and large eyes with excellent night vision. Their skin is covered with soft fur coat, and their felinoid ears can pick up frequencies that most humanoids are unable to detect. Caitians are also remarkable jumpers; able to leap roughly twice as high as an average human.
• Cardassian:
  - Biographical Information: Cardassians are the dominant species of the Cardassian Union. Their home world is Cardassia in the Alpha Quadrant. After the Dominion War the Cardassians have struggled to reform their society. Cardassians are grey-skinned humanoids. They are easily identified by their unusually wide necks and a spoon-shaped bone on their foreheads. Cardassians favor heat and aridity, conditions also found on Cardassia.
  
  In ancient history, the First Hebitian civilization on Cardassia was renowned for its art and beauty. It collapsed due to a lack of resources leading the surviving Cardassians to turn to the military and imperialistic expansion. Their occupation of Bajor saw Bajorans used as a slave caste as their world was stripped of resources to feed Cardassia. Following the fall of the Obsidian Order (one half of the Cardassian government) in the 2370s, Cardassians established their first civilian government in centuries with the Detapa Council. However the Klingon Empire believed this government was infiltrated by Changelings and began an invasion of Cardassia.
  
  Losing a war to the Klingons, the military re-took control and Cardassia joined the Dominion; who helped Cardassia rid itself of both the Klingons and the Maquis. However as the war turned for the worst, the Cardassians bore the brunt of the Dominion's war and eventually the two sides turned on one another. In the final days of the war, much of the Cardassian population was murdered. The survivors chose to rebuild as a de-militarized, democratic power, supported by the Federation.
  
  Cardassian society is extremely hierarchical and values family and loyalty to the government. Their culture and literature, of which was once held in the highest esteem, reflected this with novels such as "The Great Sacrifice" detailing a generational history of service to the state. For much of its life, the state represented a union of the military and secret service; these two ran a kafkaesque government where sentences are determined in advance of trials; with proceedings merely there to show the viewing Cardassians that justice is carried out. How Cardassian society has shifted in response to its trauma and post-war democratisation is as yet unclear.
  - Species Traits: Cardassians have an eidetic memory, they can recall memories in perfect clarity and can hold a grudge for a long time. Never upset a Cardassian, as they are unlikely to forget the event.
• Ferengi:
  - Biographical Information: Natives of the planet Ferenginar, Ferengi culture is built on the ideals of free enterprise and profit, and there are 285 Rules of Acquisition that govern Ferengi society. They have a head for numbers. Due to recent social reforms, however, many young Ferengi are exploring the world outside of commerce. Some have joined Starfleet, where service to others is valued more than Gold-Pressed Latinum.
  
  Ferengi are normally smaller than humans and have lifespans that can exceed a century. They have orange-brown colored skin, blue fingernails, enlarged skulls and sharp teeth.
  - Species Traits: Their four-lobed brain makes them resistant to telepathy. Their large ears give them exceptionally acute hearing.
• Human:
  - Biographical Information: Humans are a race originating from the planet Earth in the Sol System. They were one of the founding races which created the United Federation of Planets, along with Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites. Individual humans differ greatly in appearance. They all possess the basic humanoid shape, but have differences in hair color, skin pigmentation, eye color and other physical features.
  
  Many of the variations between individual humans can be attributed to their heritage. Thousands of years ago, humans lived in generally separate groupings on four of their home world's five landmasses, and in varying climates upon each of those landmasses. Since they were relatively stationary, the humans in each grouping began to adapt to their local environmental conditions. For example, the native peoples of the northern portion of Eurasia developed a light skin coloration, while dark skin colorations were common in Africa and Australia, and moderate colorations were common in southern Eurasia and the Americas. Additionally, while brown eye colors and brown and black hair colors were common worldwide, some Eurasians developed blue, grey, or green eye colors and pale or reddish hair colors.
  
  Human society has evolved massively since they achieved warp capable flight in 2063 and first contact was made by the Vulcans. They are known to refer to Earth in the 24th Century as "paradise", and enjoy a longer average life span of 120 years. On Earth, war, disease, poverty, and famine have been completely abolished; the basic biological needs of every citizen are met without compensation. Humans therefore no longer strive to acquire wealth, and instead work to better themselves and their society. As such, there is no base form of currency.
  
  There appears to be a very large number of Starfleet officers who are Human, perhaps more than is justified by the relative population of Earth and its colonies compared to other Federation member worlds. Many of the most famous historic Starfleet officers (Jonathan Archer, James T. Kirk, Hikaru Sulu, Montgomery Scott, Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Kathryn Janeway, Harry Kim) were or are Human. In addition, most Starfleet ships bear names in English, a Human language, and English also appears to be the standard language used at Starfleet Academy and aboard most Starfleet ships and installations.
  - Species Traits: Humans are inspirational leaders and work exceptionally well with others. Their Leadership inspires their comrades to work harder and faster than they otherwise could, and their Teamwork allows them to exploit combat opportunities created by teammates to great effect.
• Pakled:
  - Biographical Information: Pakleds are a humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant, but do not generally align themselves with any political faction. By 2409 Pakleds have joined the United Federation of Planets. Pakleds are typically heavy-set humanoids that feature sunken eyes with bushy, upward-pointing eyebrows, a series of folds beneath their eyes and a drooping lower lip. Males of the species tend to have receding hairlines.
  - Species Traits: The Pakleds are a largely nomadic species that often trade, scavenge or steal from other species for their technology. Pakleds have underdeveloped verbal communication skills. Due to this, many people underestimate them, thinking that they are too intellectually challenged to be devious, which they use to their advantage.
  
  While most Pakleds are politically unaligned, a few have chosen to join Starfleet, where they have demonstrated that they can become more than simple nomads or traders.
• Rigelian:
  - Biographical Information: Rigelian are a humanoid race inhabiting Rigel V. Rigelians have been a warp capable species since at least the mid 22nd century, and took part in the 2155 Coalition of Planets talks which lead to the formation of the United Federation of Planets. It is believed Rigelians have four or five genders.
  - Species Traits: Their internal physiology is similar to Vulcans and Romulans, blood chemistry included. The three races also have similar neurology as they are each susceptible to Tuvan Syndrome, a neurological disease.
• Saurian:
  - Biographical Information: Saurians, from the world of Sauria are very distinct in appearance, being mostly reptilian. Saurian skin tones typically range near red (such as red, purple, pink and brown). They also have very large lizard-like eyes. Saurians are well known for their very potent Saurian Brandy. Saurians have been part of the Federation since the 23rd century,  the president of the Federation in 2409 is a Saurian named Aennik Okeg.
  - Species Traits: They are known to be a physically strong and very intelligent race.
• Talaxian:
  - Biographical Information: Talaxians are a humanoid species native to the Delta Quadrant planet Talax, and are members of the Delta Alliance. Usually a very sociable people with a love for food, stories and humour, many Talaxians left their home world when it was conquered by the Haakonian Order in 2356 after a bloody war. In 2371, the Talaxian scrap trader Neelix joined the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager until being dropped off 7 years later at an asteroid colony his people established tens of thousands of light years away from their original home. He became the leader of the community, which grew from 500 to 3,000 members and had relocated to a different asteroid in the Entaba System by 2410. As the crowded colony is no place to raise children, the Talaxians seek to re-establish a permanent home on a real planet.
  - Species Traits: Talaxians are loyal and know how to cook good food. If you're in need of a chef on your Starship, nobody would give you a better variety of cuisine than a Talaxian.
• Tellarite:
  - Biographical Information: Tellarites are short humanoids from the planet Tellar. They have stubby noses and a very argumentative personality. They were one of the founding races of the United Federation of Planets, along with Humans, Andorians, and Vulcans.
  
  Tellarites are a stout porcine species with a distinguished snout. Sometimes they have hoof-like hands and feet. Their skin is pinkish-brown and coarse, and normally heavily covered with hair, so males tend to be bearded. Tellarites have a higher average body temperature relative to humans. They also have a greater perception of distance, dimension, and depth.
  - Species Traits: Tellarites are known to be stubborn and prideful, and they have strong emotional responses. An argument is initiated by either a series of complaints or an insult. They enjoy mud baths and consider canine to be a delicacy. Among their strengths is a talent for engineering.
• Trill:
  - Biographical Information: Trill are humanoid lifeforms native to their home world Trill. They are very similar to Humans except for their spots, which are mostly seen on the sides of their heads. These spots run from their heads down their shoulders and carry on down their torso and legs to the feet. Most of the Trill race consists of both hosts and symbionts. The Trill symbiont is a creature which is implanted into a Trill host, and subsequently joins with it. The 'joining' is reserved for only those who are considered 'worthy', though a Trill may apply for the joining process more than once if they fail the first time.
  - Species Traits: Once a Trill is 'joined' with a symbiont, they gain the knowledge of the symbiont's previous hosts. Some, like Jadzia and Ezri with the Dax symbiont, can have the memories and knowledge spanning hundreds of years.
• Vulcan:
  - Biographical Information: Vulcans are a humanoid species native to the planet Vulcan. They were one of the founding races which created the United Federation of Planets, along with Humans, Andorians and Tellarites. In appearance, Vulcans are very similar to Humans, except for their pointed ears and upwards pointed thick eyebrows. They are more similar in appearance to Romulans, as both originated from the same species. Vulcan males very rarely have facial hair such as beards. Vulcans tend to have pale skin, sometimes with a slight green tint; however, Vulcans with dark skin are not unheard of, such as Tuvok. A Vulcan lifespan is about two centuries. They are also physically very strong, with natural strength up to three times greater than that of the average human.
  
  Vulcans are very well known for their strict adherence to logic and for their honesty. It is said that Vulcans do not lie, and some say Vulcans are incapable of lying; however, they will should they deem it to be the logical solution to a given situation. Although Vulcans are very logical beings, they still have spiritual beliefs. Some Vulcans still undertake arranged marriages, which are typically arranged by the parents when the child is still of a young age, normally under 10 years old.
  - Species Traits: Known for their logical minds and stoicism, Vulcans have extreme mental discipline and exceptional physical strength behind their veneer of implacability. Vulcans' force of will provides them with resistance to Psionic damage. They are touch telepaths, able to enter the minds of their allies with prolonged physical contact. Every Seven Years, a Vulcan male will enter Pon Farr a period of mating, where they must join both physically and mentally with a partner, or die.

• Klingon
  - Biographical Information: Klingons are a proud warrior race from the planet Qo'noS that values tradition, honor, and strength above all else. Klingon culture is rooted in aggression and military prowess, and they are a feared and respected race throughout the galaxy. Typically Klingons can be distinguished by their cranial ridges, dark skin, and muscular build.
  - Species Traits: Their internal organs feature multiple redundancies, allowing them to survive even the most severe battle wounds. The average Klingon lifespan can reach up to 150 years.
• Gorn:
  - Biographical Information: The Gorn are a cold-blooded reptilian race from the planet Gornar. Their appearance is distinct given their reptilian similarities. They have slitted silvery eyes, sharp teeth, claws on their hands and scaled green rubbery skin.
  Gorn are physically very strong and tall, much more so than typical humans. They are known to be very stubborn and territorial.
  - Species Traits: Gorn are many times stronger than Humans, making their melee attacks deal massive damage and often knock down their targets. Their stamina is greater than that of Humans, providing them with resistance to many types of damage.
• Ferasan:
  - Biographical Information: Ferasans are a genetically augmented felinoid species from Ferasa Prime that split from the Caitian race 800 years ago. The Ferasans and Caitians were once a unified species, but an extensive genetic engineering program has greatly modified the Ferasan genome. Ferasans consider themselves to be superior to Caitians, and most relish the chance to prove that superiority in combat. Ferasan society is dominated by clans of inter-related family groups who band together for defense and conquest. Loyalty is highly prized among Ferasans, although betrayals are common. The greatest honor a Ferasan can give to a clan mate or Captain is to remain faithful through adversity.
  - Species Traits: Unlike Caitians, Ferasans are saber-toothed and some have telepathic abilities. They are bipedal, have tails that assist their balance, extended maxillary canine teeth and large eyes with excellent night vision. Their skin is covered with a soft fur coat, and their felinoid ears can pick up frequencies that most humanoids are unable to detect.
• Nausicaan:
  - Biographical Information: Nausicaans are a humanoid species native to their home world of Nausicaa. Nausicaans are typically very tall, normally above two meters and possess excellent physical strength. Their faces are very distinct, their foreheads featuring a prominent bone structure and sharp tusks protrude from both sides of their mouths.
  
  Due to their strength and violent nature Nausicaans are often mercenaries or hired muscle for other races, e.g. Ferengi. They were hired by the Gorn Hegemony to help against the ongoing conflict with the Klingon Empire. When the Gorn were absorbed into the Klingon Empire in 2404, the Nausicaans followed suit.
  - Species Traits: Nausicaans are known for their aggression and bad tempers, and are often derided as pirates. Their physical prowess allows them to excel in hand-to-hand combat, while their penchant for violence informs their battle tactics in space, making them extremely alert and damaging foes.
• Orion:
  - Biographical Information: The Orions are a green-skinned humanoid race. They are now part of the Klingon Empire after being conquered. Both Orion males and females are tall, have distinguishing green skin, and features considered attractive to others. Orion males are often bald and have a muscular physique from physical labor. Orion females, other than their green skin, are near identical to Human females.
  - Species Traits: Orion females have very potent pheromones they may consciously control. They are more than capable of seducing males of most species, with a few exceptions (such as Vulcan males). Females are much less susceptible to this and in Human females this often produces headaches. Due to these remarkable pheromones the Orion females are known to be the dominant ones in Orion relationships, society, and the organized crime cabal known as the Orion Syndicate.

• Romulan:
  - Biographical Information: Romulans are an offspring species of the Vulcans that emigrated to the planet Romulus ca. 2000 years ago. After a failed coup d'état in 2379 and the destruction of Romulus in 2387, different factions formed among the surviving Romulans.
  
  As of 2409, two major Romulan factions exist:
  - The Romulan Republic, led by the reunificationist Proconsul D'Tan, is a playable faction based on New Romulus, or "Mol'Rihan". The Republic cooperates with the Reman Resistance and is supported by the United Federation of Planets as well as the Klingon Empire.
  - The Romulan Star Empire (or, as its detractors might say, what's left of the Empire), with its capital Rihan on Rator III. It is controlled by the oppressive Tal Shiar and, until 2409, was ruled by Empress Sela, who had also enlisted the help of Hirogen Hunters and Cardassians of the True Way to strengthen her rule. Moreover, the Star Empire cooperates with the mysterious Elachi and is rumoured to be secretly influenced by the Iconians.
  
  Romulan society has been secretive and xenophobic for much of its history. Romulan intellectuals thrive on deceit and subterfuge, and they favor more of a cunning approach to battle rather than sheer brute force, and this is reflected in the Romulan's long history with cloaking technology. The Romulan Republic was founded to create a more open society, but it is unclear exactly how dominant each ideology is.
  
  Due to their shared ancestry, Vulcans and Romulans possessed very similar physiology, including pointed ears, and arched eyebrows. Unlike Vulcans, most Romulans have two brow ridges above the bridge of their nose, forming a V-shape on the forehead. However a minority of Romulans, particularly those in the 23rd century, lack these ridges; making them outwardly indistinguishable from Vulcans.
  
  The Romulans began as a group of Vulcans who were referenced as "those who march beneath the Raptor's wings" during the violent Time of Awakening, also called "the Sundering" by the Romulans. As they kept refusing to accept the Vulcan philosopher Surak's teachings of complete suppression of emotions, they split off from Vulcan society and left the planet in the 4th century, taking with them revered artifacts like the Sword of the Raptor Star.
  
  Traveling among the stars in huge generational ships, the outcast Vulcans created several off-shoot civilizations, e.g., the Debrune, by settling on various planets including Barradas III. Before or after this, the proto-Romulans reached Dewa III, which they named "Vastam". Some desired to settle there, not wanting to return to the cold and cramped ships, while others believed they could not make the necessary changes to live there. Eventually an open debate was organized to make the decision. Despite the good intentions, things quickly deteriorated and a massive riot began. By the time it ended, 247 people had been killed. The survivors unanimously decided to leave and ultimately settled on the planet Romulus.
  - Species Traits: Romulans are extremely talented at subterfuge, making their use of cloaking devices unparalleled and their damage bonus from decloaking higher than that of other species. Additionally, Romulans' Vulcan heritage is reflected in their immense physical strength, making them powerful melee combatants.
• Reman:
  - Biographical Information: The Remans are a humanoid race originating from the planet Remus in the Romulus System, but eventually left that planet to settle on Crateris. While some remain subjects of the Romulan Star Empire, large numbers of Remans have banded together to form a separate faction - the Reman Resistance, which is based in the Vault and has since allied itself with the Romulan Republic on New Romulus.
  
  The Remans are humanoids with a colorless, almost translucent skin. This is mostly due to the fact that they could only live on the permanently dark side of their original home world Remus. Some Remans possess telepathic powers that can be used offensively.
  - Species Traits: Remans were used as Romulan shock troops and miners in the dangerous dilithium mines of Remus. Because Remans lived on the dark side of their tidally locked planet, they are extremely sensitive to light. Many Remans exhibit telepathic abilities, able not only to read thoughts but also sometimes sooth or inflict pain.

• Jem'Hadar
  - Biographical Information: The Jem'Hadar, like the Vorta, are a genetically engineered race of humanoids created by the Founders to be the Dominion's military power. According to the Masan Research Reports, the Jem'Hadar (also known as "Cadre Species 468") were engineered at Masan Research Station to be the strong arm of the Dominion, guided by the cunning of the Vorta. The use of the Jem'Hadar allowed the Founders to spend more time in the Link.
  
  Jem'Hadar are bred and can reach full adulthood in a matter of days. When born they look very similar to a Human child. As their age increases they start changing to more traditional Jem'Hadar appearance. Adult members of their race tend to have purple or blue skin of varying depths. Their skin is also scaled and they have small horns on either sides of their head and around their jaw. Their melee weapon of choice is the Kar'takin
  
  To ensure their loyalty, Jem'Hadar are genetically engineered to have an addiction to Ketracel White. White contains all essential dietary nutrients for the Jem'Hadar, alleviating their need to eat or drink, however if a Jem'Hadar is deprived of White, they suffer withdrawal symptoms including pain, anxiety, loss of mental control, and inability to "shroud". Ultimately, they spiral into homicidal insanity until their entire genetic structure collapses. Those Jem'Hadar bred in the Alpha Quadrant during the Dominion War are referred to as Alpha Jem'Hadar. Also, Odo personally oversaw the development of a branch of Jem'Hadar called Jem'Hadar Vanguard.
  - Species Traits: Jem'Hadar: soldiers were designed purely for combat, and are highly capable combatants in a multitude of environments. Their intense combat training has made them incredibly effective at defeating their opponents through superior offensive capabilities.
• Vorta:
  - Biographical Information: The Vorta are a humanoid species genetically engineered by the Founders of the Dominion to act as field commanders, administrators, scientists and diplomats. The Vorta see themselves as those who "serve the Founders." According to the Dominion's Masan Research Reports, the Vorta were a race of tree-dwellers, hunted as the Changelings once were. The genetic engineering of that species into the modern Vorta were the Founders' first project and resulted, among other things, of an increase in intelligence of at least a factor of three. They were the first of many loyal subjects and were there to guide other subjects such as the Jem'Hadar.
  
  This was believed by the Vorta, perhaps apocryphally, that this was a reward for a group of the Vorta's ancestors hiding a Changeling from an angry mob. The Changeling they saved promised that one day they would be transformed and placed at the head of a vast interstellar empire. The Founders fulfilled this promise by genetically changing the Vorta into humanoids and employing them at the highest level of the Dominion, second only to the Founders themselves. Vorta are typically clones of early 'versions' of themselves and serve the Founders in roles of importance such as commanders and diplomats. Vorta are commonly seen commanding squads of Jem'Hadar.
  - Species Traits: Vorta are similar to Humans except mainly for their ears and eyes. They have long vented ears which increases their hearing ability above that of regular humanoids. Their eyes are typically poor in terms of sight, and are normally purple in colour.
• Changeling:
  - Biographical Information: Changelings (also known as Founders in relation to their position in the Dominion) are a race of shapeshifters native to the Gamma Quadrant. They are a liquid based lifeform and live joined in the Great Link.
  Some Changelings also exist primarily in a humanoid form but have to revert back into liquid form every 16 hours to regenerate, or else their 'morphogenic matrix' will become unstable. They can shapeshift into nearly any form with practice regardless of its matter type, such as humanoid forms, liquid, fire, fog and even electrical equipment. According to a Female Changeling, changelings are immortal.
  - Species Traits: Changelings are able to shift their form at will and become literally anything. From an unsuspecting house plant, to your companion animal, you never know just where a Changeling is, until it's too late.

HAIR COLOUR: Auburn
EYE COLOUR: Indigo
BODY TYPE: Toned
ETHNICITY: Caucasian (Anglo-Saxon)
OCCUPATION: Starfleet Commanding Officer
POSTING (If Applicable): U.S.S. Resolute NCC-22688 Ambassador Class
RANK: Captain
GENETIC STATUS: Non-Augmented
MARITAL STATUS: Single
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Scars on right hand, tattoo of the 2nd Fleet emblem behind right shoulder.
PERSONALITY: Direct but caring for subordinates, always makes time for anyone to stop and talk to her.
PERSONAL TRAITS: Accurate, Creative, Mental Discipline, Resilient
AFFILIATION: United Federation of Planets Starfleet
FAMILY (If Applicable):
Daniel Atkinson (Father) Elizabeth Atkinson (Mother) Captain Dodie Kimmel, Retired (Maternal Grandmother), Ensign Jerrod Atkinson, Deceased (Brother)
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on the world of Damos Majorus, Meredith spent the bulk of her early life traveling Federation space with her parents, who were both civilian construction contractors that helped both new and existing colonies expand. Around the age of 12, she was sent to briefly stay with her maternal grandmother, Captain Kimmel, in command of the U.S.S. Vladivostok, where she got to see some of what Starfleet was about. She and her older brother Jerrod were both enamored with Starfleet, and chose to join at the age of 18, with Jerrod attending the Academy one year ahead of Meredith.

Jerrod would graduate and was posted to the U.S.S. Asclepius, a hospital ship that was deployed to the world of Chigetania to help with a large tectonic shift that had left hundreds injured. While in orbit, the Asclepius was attacked by a raider from the nearby world of Xuphyria and all hands were lost. The death of Jerrod was a terrible blow, and made her swear to honor his memory by trying her best in Starfleet. She would go on to serve aboard the U.S.S. Conestoga after graduation, and later aboard the U.S.S. Greenland, U.S.S. Ptolemy, and the U.S.S. Vengeance.

At the age of 37 she was assigned to the U.S.S. Marigold as a commander, where she served under Captain Ardis Isaacs. It would be aboard the Marigold that Meredith received several scars on her hand from a reactor malfunction during what was otherwise a routine deployment along the edge of Federation space. The warp reactor's main compartment failed due to stress fractures that weren't detected on the last visit to port. Meredith was near the chamber talking to the chief engineer when it blew, almost completely destroying her hand. It was repaired as much as possible but even with advanced microsurgery, there were still scars that couldn't be fixed.

After 5 years aboard the Marigold, Starfleet Command saw fit to reward Meredith with her own command, that of the Ambassador class vessel U.S.S. Resolute, NCC-22688. Having accepted the assignment, Meredith is currently traveling to meet the Resolute and take on the new crew coming aboard after a minor refit.

MIDDLE NAME: Nicole
FIRST NAME: Alicia
AGE: 24

BODY TYPE: Slim
ETHNICITY: Mixed
OCCUPATION: Engineer
POSTING (If Applicable): USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D
RANK: Ensign
GENETIC STATUS: Non-augmented
MARITAL STATUS: Single
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Small birthmark on right shoulder, faint scar across the knuckles of her left hand
PERSONALITY: Though somewhat socially awkward -- her uncle wasn't talkative and she isn't very good with people she doesn't know well -- Alicia is excited to be seeing the universe and thrilled to be on the Enterprise.  She takes a very practical approach to life and is curious about many things.  Now that she's serving with Commander Data, cybernetics is her newest interest, though she is fascinated by many scientific subjects.
PERSONAL TRAITS: Accurate, Astrophysicist, Techie, Warp Theorist
AFFILIATION: Starfleet
FAMILY (If Applicable): Father, Robert Price; Uncle, James Carson; Mother, Anna Carson-Price (deceased)
BIOGRAPHY: Born on the new Delevan colony, Alicia showed a talent for physics and engineering from an early age.  Her mother died in an accident when she was seven years old, after which her father quickly lost his appetite for staying on this isolated colony without a great many creature comforts.  Leaving his daughter with his brother-in-law, he left for parts unknown and Alicia has not seen him since.

Though her uncle, who generally goes by Carson, is a gruff, quiet sort, he quickly grew to be fiercely fond of and proud of his niece.  As one of the colony's engineers and general repair staff, he taught her everything he knew.  But thought she loved the colony and her uncle, Alicia still wanted to travel, so when she was old enough she applied for Starfleet.  The Enterprise is her first posting.

A couple more people and then I'll put up the RP topics

[Cold Heritage]

LAST NAME: Harms
MIDDLE NAME:
FIRST NAME: Torstein
AGE: 35
GENDER IDENTIFICATION: Male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual
SPECIES: Human
HEIGHT: 7'4" (224cm)
HAIR COLOUR: Black
EYE COLOUR: Blue
BODY TYPE: Heavily Muscular
ETHNICITY: Germano-Slavic; Mirror Universe Terran
OCCUPATION: Starfleet Intelligence Officer; Executive Officer
POSTING (If Applicable): U.S.S. Bellicose (Valiant Class)
RANK: Lieutenant Commander
GENETIC STATUS: Augmented
MARITAL STATUS: Single
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Stature; raven tattoo on interior of left upper arm
PERSONALITY: Affable but reserved, Torstein is an approachable person. He has a keen interest in non-human species, particularly Vulcans. Much more willing to entertain aggressive and violent solutions to problems than expected of humans and Starfleet officers in general. Violent inclinations stand in stark contrast to genuine dedication to Federation values. Can be very cold-blooded at times.
PERSONAL TRAITS: Peak Health, Physical Strength, Resilient, Sturdy
AFFILIATION: Starfleet
FAMILY (If Applicable): Mirror Universe: family deceased; Prime Universe: Father Anton Harms, Mother Svetlana Harms, Younger Brother William Harms, Younger Sister Susanna Ryder-Harms, Brother-In-Law Lieutenant Reginald Ryan Ryder
BIOGRAPHY:
Prime Universe Torstein Harms was born on Mars, where his mother Svetlana worked in the Utopia Planitia shipyards. His father worked on Luna and the family came to live there as Svetlana took a job there to be closer to her husband. At the time Prime Universe Torstein was in his middle teens, and he enlisted in Starfleet on reaching majority. He achieved a commission and successfully completed Academy training, and was stationed on the USS Santa Ynez, a California class vessel. He served there until the Dominion War, and he served with distinction and valor in Starfleet's efforts to retake Betazed. Prime Universe Torstein Harms was killed in action during this time.

Mirror Universe Torstein Harms took his place, and is responsible for the majority of battlefield commendations that appear in Torstein Harms's personnel file. One of a number of Mirror Universe Terrans seeded into Starfleet at this time as part of a clandestine operation master-minded by the Mirror Universe's Katherine Janeway, Torstein had the misfortune of being discovered relatively quickly - his genetic augmentation quickly appeared in medical scans and did not match those of Prime Universe Torstein Harms. However, unlike many other Terrans, the Mirror Universe Torstein Harms was willing to defect.

Starfleet Intelligence officers proved amenable to employing Torstein Harms as an asset, motivated by the exigencies of war. And Mirror Universe Torstein proved more than amenable to engage in tasks that Starfleet Intelligence found distasteful but necessary. After several successes in covert operations, the records of Prime Universe Torstein Harms were altered and Mirror Universe Torstein Harms took his place. Initially under observation, the intensity of scrutiny Torstein faced decreased over time as he proved genuine in his defection to Starfleet.

After the Dominion War, Torstein continued to operate under the aegis of Starfleet Intelligence, with short postings to numerous vessels. His commanding officers were seldom, if ever, informed as to his Intelligence credentials and never of his Mirror Universe origin. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Bellicose upon its commission, serving as its Executive Officer under her captain, one Captain T'Len. Captain T'Len is also a member of Starfleet Intelligence and aware that Torstein Harms is also a member of Starfleet Intelligence and suspects that he is not all he appears.
