Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

[garyh]

Also, I had an episode of DS9 playing in the background last night, and found a great quote for our science officer:

Kira: Unless you have a better idea?
Dax: I'm the science officer...its my job to have a better idea!

That's one of my favorite Trek quotes, and why I went with the science officer. I'm looking forward to combining that with a Shran-like personality.

Garyh - Possibly tomorrow but more likely I will send you the rough draft on friday.

Sounds good.

Blackrat - rough draft sent in PM.

Looks good to me. As I said, I have no knowledge of the system except what you wrote on page 2 so I can't really say much . But to me, the skills and advantages look like they represent well what I wrote for background.

 

[Blackrat]

Prior flight training like a merchant or "pirate?"

hmmm.. my background is not yet complete i think a little piracy is in order

oh or the Maque[sp?]

HM

Maquis. It's French.

Well, I think Maquis is a bit too new organisation considering the age of your char. He'd have propably enlisted in the Academy between 2335-40. The Cardassian War started 2347 and the Maquis was formed some time after that.

 

[HolyMan]

Thanks Blackrat, ill look up the cardassian war

hey wasn't O'biren part of that??

Yeah, he served on some ship during the war, then transferred to Enterprise

 

[knightemplar]

Didn't he serve on the Rutledge in the episode of the TNG, where they had to go arrest the captain of the Rutledge with a cardassian officer as a guest on the bridge. The captain was making hit and run attacks on the cardassians because he thought they were running weapons and getting ready to attack the federation again.

 

[HolyMan]

I saw something like that... don't remember names and such but the captain was suffering from some sort of post tramatic stress disorder right??

Hey in this game are there things like that ways your character may go crazy????

HM

 

[Rhun]

Yes, O'Brien served on the Rutledge, and was also the Hero of Setlik III.

Also, the Maquis didn't form until much later, AFTER the Federation-Cardassian Treaty was signed that created the Demilitarized Zone. I think it was 2370. Unless you are talking about the WWII Maquis for which they were named. Then that was way, WAY before!

And in which case your character would be really, really old.

And in which case your character would be really, really old.

Well, wasn't he supposed to be THE OLDEST ensign in Starfleet
