Primarily overlapping with TNG/DS9/VOY (so 24th century)
Shooting for size class ~4 rather than flagship-sized
- Nebula-class
- Akira-class
- Intrepid-class named [[Campaigns/26Q1/Ships/USS Curiosity|USS Curiosity]]
Other remarks: Want to name something after pets Clark + Gizmo = Clarmo EMH could be a candidate - a Caitian hologram? Runabouts could be named after Chicago neighborhoods (Birth of character concept for Captain [[Campaigns/26Q1/Supporting Characters/Dearborn|Dearborn]] approximately here)
Focus in Alpha/Beta primarily
- Anti-vote for Borg
Emphasize one-shots at first while we acclimate to the system
- Marty: [[Campaigns/26Q1/Characters/Neral Gez|Neral Gez]], Joined Trill and Weapons Engineer, any pronouns
- Gena: [[Campaigns/26Q1/Characters/T'zon|T'zon]], Vulcan and Operations Manager, non-binary
- Chelsea: [[Campaigns/26Q1/Characters/Fiora|Fiora]] the Unyielding, Orion and Chief of Security, she/her
- Shane: [[Campaigns/26Q1/Characters/Gareb|Gareb]], Aenar and Chief of Surgery, he/him
The [[Campaigns/26Q1/Supporting Characters/Dearborn|Captain]] will be treated primarily as a special Supporting Character and shared amongst all players as the narrative/scenarios call for it.
- Chief Engineer over Neral Gez was a warp theory specialist who wanted to experience hands-on work with the practicals of their field, and a veteran of multiple wars
- Recent science ensign is a cousin to T’zon, and a Vulcan traditionalist out of admiration for their heritage
- Ship’s pilot is a Betazoid
- XO is half-Tellurite
[[Campaigns/26Q1/Characters/Neral Gez|Neral Gez]] is a joined Trill whose symbiosis is only months old, but began after the Academy. Their symbiont is on the younger side, with perhaps 2-4 previous joinings. Neral was not necessarily ready for the joining.
- Neral joined to “stick it to the old man”, and discovered while at the academy that they had an aptitude for “malicious engineering” (Marty to help me expand but this was contrasted against “schoolyard pranks”)
- T'zon aspired to join Starfleet from early childhood, especially after (accepting/recognizing?) their non-binary identity
- Fiora was more eager to get away from her family than to specifically join up with Starfleet
- Gareb trained and rose through seniority in civilian medicine and was later induced (enthusiasm TBD) to join Starfleet as a medical officer
- T’zon’s brother [[Campaigns/26Q1/Supporting Characters/T'Pain|T'Pain]] left Vulcan because he didn’t feel he belonged, and currently works on Earth as a DJ. His relationship with their parents is not full estrangement, but can be described as tense.
- Neral’s best friend from childhood (so considerably pre-Joining) is an Orion trader
- Gareb has a former mentor in the medical field who recommended him to Starfleet and to Dearborn in particular
- Prior to joining Starfleet, Fiora met Henrietta, a Lanthanite, while they were both simultaneously attempting to steal separate artifacts out of a museum. In Fiora’s case, this was a family heirloom/artifact.
T’zon has been on the Curiosity since they were an ensign and with no previous commissions. Everyone else has held unspecified previous postings. The group as a whole has been serving together for 1-2 months and are casually acquainted but not yet close.
Prompt: Does your character have any regrets that the other characters already know?
- T’zon isn’t the subject of any rumors or confidences on the ship yet, but is considered ”surprisingly friendly” for a Vulcan
- Neral has some kind of infamy in the form of a non-specified “incident” during their Academy tenure
- Fiora has served on multiple ships that have gone on to be destroyed during her term. The first was an Orion ship and crew.
- Gareb recognizes that he’s filling the shoes of someone that the Curiosity’s crew knew and liked well and who had served loyally there for a long time
- Generic statements by Shane about largely avoiding difficult or dark topics out of personal tastes anyway
- X-card or Red Alert card will always be available during play, we can halt and rewind at any time with no questions asked by tapping the card or otherwise indicating discomfort
- Large scale war as a plot detail/device is unwelcome but not fully verboten
Shooting for approximately monthly, and details about personal availability and preferences were shared.
- What was your first day on the ship like?
- Character stats for Captain Dearborn
- First mission: 5YJ Briefs: Sky Father, pg 15
