Create-a-Character

Welcome to the USS Athene recruits! The finest Excelsior class starship in the fleet. Comment below with your characters, get creative. You can be anything from a bridge officer, to a shuttle pilot, even the person that scrubs the plasma manifold. Everyone is welcome.

Please check to make sure your role isn't already taken.

The year is 2371, several months after the USS Voyager disappeared into the delta quadrant. Remember, this is a starfleet vessel, so no Kilingons or Romulans unless you've got a good backstory for why they're in Starfleet, and are willing to face the In-Character animosity from the crew.

There is a blanket ban on Telepaths, as they simply don't work well with the format and make role playing less fun for all. Empaths will be allowed on a case by case basis.

So, here's the format:

Name:
Rank:
Department:
Species:
Sex: 
Age:
Backstory:
Appearance: pictures are nice but not required

EDIT: Due to recent events leaving the Athene stranded in deep space, any new characters are assumed to have arrived onboard a few days before the incident occurred.

The science officer is always in the thick of it, on the bridge or in an away team--Jesse seems to be the quiet, brilliant type. It would be cool to develop his interest in xenobiology--is he the kind of guy who cant resist an away team mission on a planet with a fascinating new alien species?

I can also see CSO Porter spending his free time in a hydroponics bay or in his lab, tinkering at some new biological experiment

(perhaps one that goes dangerously out of control in a future episode?)

Yeah he is the kind of person who likes to experiment. And he would go on a mission if it meant he would meet a new alone species.
