| Date Confusion |
[Jul. 9th, 2009|03:17 pm] |
Just a reminder guys, the current in-game date is April 5th. Anyone who labeled their threads on the 6th needs to change it. The ship hasn't left dock just yet and people are still coming aboard for the first time. The date will progress here shortly. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello everyone! I'm Sar and this piece of work is Steren Allett, Lieutenant Junior Grade and Tactical Officer. She might seem like your typical ass kissing, brown nosing, suck up but that's just until her particular level of craziness is triggered. Steren is from Cornwall, plays the fiddle, and has been bounced from ship to ship due to some of her scarier personality traits. She's hoping to find a home(and Starfleet's hoping to find her some stabilization or at least get her the heck away from them for a LONG time) on board the Odyssey and I expect she'll be interacting with all of you very soon!
Full information on Steren can be foundhere I'm looking forward to playing with all of you!
Edit: for HTML fail.
Son of Edit: I also have a new medical researcher for you people to play with! Topher Hansen is brilliant, dedicated and possibly the galaxy's biggest dork. Topher is half human/half Risian and he loves to make fun of his insane biology. He also tells me that he wants to hold meetings for the mixed race crew, and adds that "We can start our own CLUB!" Further information on HIM can be found overhere |

So.. I dropped my laptop when walking to my car from work and it busted. I'll be posting tomorrow since I'll be using an older one from a cousin of mine until mine gets fixed. Let me know if you'd like to do anything with Melanie. I'll be willing to toss her into a few threads or wherever she's needed. |

Hi, I'm Crys and this is Natalia T'thar, though she prefers going by Nali. This is her first assignment out of post Acadamy training and she is very excited/nervous about it. All of her information can be found here. Although to sum it all up she's a half-Andorian astrobiologist, with the curious nature and passion of a human and the stubborn, hot-tempered (not quite war-like) demeanor of the Andorians. She does not want to talk about whether or not she has antennae under that hair of hers and she has a wee little problem with her attitude, though jocular she can be quite snarky.
Me, well, I've been RPing for a while but this is my first startrek game and I too am excited/nervous. I'm looking forward to meeting/RPing with you all and can be reached on gmail at Glamourbound or on AIM at Kaimelarelle.
Happy Gaming,
Crys |

Hi, I'm Erika, and I'm bringing with me the ship's warp core engineer, Raisa Moirran. Because the ship totally needs a punning Betazoid techie. Hopefully the puns won't be too groan-worthy and scare people off. If you want to check out her info, it's right here.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to playing with everyone! I'm not too familiar with journal communities, so please bear with me if I do something wrong. If anyone needs to get a hold of me, drop me a line on AIM at inkblotmeringue. It's good to meet you all! :3
I might be a bit scarce for the next few days... mini family vacation kind of thing, but I'll try to get on as much as possible. Sorry about it, it's awfully lame timing, I know. |

this is ben, and i bring you Sebastian Caine, Chief of Security. His info (and mine) is here
He's rather anal about his work, and he can come across as a little obsessive, but he claims all of this makes him good at his job. outside of work he's a guy's guy, personable and friendly, a joker, even. When he's on the job, however, he's completely by the book. Or he'll try. He knows that in a real life security hazard situation rules may have to be bent, but in the meantime, everyone on board must adhere to regulation.
boy, he's a harda$$, this one, lol. it'll be fun. |

Hey Guys,
Though there hasn't been many threads, the game seems to be moving smoothly. We're still waiting on some character's initial posts. Juicy plot is on it's way.
In other news, I redid the resources page to look a little more user-friendly. I am also working on the player page, but is still a work-in-progress. I'm having some code issues that need ironing out (I ♥ Beck). Which reminds me, I am assuming that everyone's submitted messenger name is an AIM handle. If it is not and you use Yahoo or another program please comment here to let me know so I can make the changes. The AIM names are set as links so all you have to do is click them and a window will pop up with a greeting to the player. Even more characters and features are on there way so check here for introductions and updates. Thanks all.
-Dan |

Greetings, gamepals! I'm Mochi, bringing you your new ship surgeon, Lihana Jall! Fear not, for she is a professional, and has never accidentally sewn any sponges, scalpels, or other foreign objects into a patient during a surgery. Please be nice to her! She's a joined Trill who has had three previous hosts, so don't take it personally if she ever shakes her cane at you and demands that you dang kids get off her lawn, 'kay?
Just kidding, but seriously, I'm really looking forward to playing with you all. Character info can be found here. Oh, and the term "gown dance" refers to how surgeons have to spin around a few times to get their gowns on properly before a surgery. Fun!
If you want to contact me, I'm on aim at "mochihearts" most all the time. I hope to hear from you all soon! :D |

Hey everyone, I'm Sondre and I bring you your Chief Engineer Aaron O'Connor! He was born on a ship, raised on a ship, and will probably die on a ship. He's never been land-bound for more than a couple of months, so being so close to Earth while waiting for Odyssey to take off is exciting for him (he hopes he can sneak away for a bit when the other Engineering officers come in.) After his home was destroyed (USS Parsons, a small Scout ship) almost a decade ago, he's worked on every other kind of ship imaginable. However, he still finds USS Odyssey absolutely amazing ("A ship this size surpassing Warp 9?!")
He's a light-hearted guy, slightly scatter-brained, and awkward when he realizes somebody wants to be more than friends. He probably knows the anatomy of any given starship better than his own body.
Aaron likes working with his hands, old science fiction (it makes him laugh), and roleplaying as pirates on the holodeck.
Anyway, I'll be busy for the next few weeks (days), but weekends I should be available. Afterwards, I get a summer again! :)
eta: It'd probably be helpful if I left contact info, huh? You can contact me on aim @ [soggysodsod] ! :] |

Due to the unexpected pace of newly joining members, and because I wanted to confuse the hell out of everyone, Dan (player of Ranul) is going to help me out and will officially be my co-nerd co-moderator. He will assist me in keeping things updated and offering ideas.
We are going to create a new e-mail address so that both of us can respond to holds, applications, and/or questions and concerns from members. That address will be posted soon. You will still be able to contact us individually with the addresses listed on the "player" page.
Thanks Dan!

Good day! I'm Jenny and I'm a RP-aholic. Glad to be here and excited about getting into the game. I'll be bringing you Cindle Bellwether, civilian and bartender extraordinaire. She is one of a set of half-human and half-Elasian twins born to absentee diplomat types.
If you know your TOS, Elasian women have tears that enslave any man who touches them. Her half-human genetics preclude that being a life-long enslavement; it's only mere minutes. And Cin hasn't cried in years.
She's a collector of dictionaries and a listener of tales. She'll give you advice whether you asked for it or not. All wrapped up in a very friendly manner. |

Hello! Nice to meet all of you. My name is Lex, and this is T'Vraeya Dalzen. She's half-Betazoid and half-Vulcan and has spent more than half of her life on a ship of some sort (her parents met while serving on a research ship in Starfleet).
T'Vraeya is the Assistant Chief Medical Officer. She's an outgoing person who is honest to the point of being very blunt. She has a competitive streak and enjoys both strategy games and competitive one on one sports (though she's far better at the strategy games). She can be friendly but she's by no means a party girl - she likes to be in control of herself and she is committed to being a professional. |

Hey, everyone! It seems there's only a couple of us thus far, but that's still cool! I'm Jayden, and I'm super excited to be here! I'm a newbie Trekkie, but it's such a great fandom to be part of! I watched some Star Trek as a wee child when they played reruns on some channel or another. I'm 19, undergraduate earning my BA in Theatre Production. I don't act. It frightens me. I build the costumes, occasionally they have me work on scenic painting.
Anyway~ I bring you Leon P'rranka! He is your 1/2 Caitian-1/2 Human (we think) maintenance engineer. He's a pretty handy guy most of the time, so don't feel afraid to ask him to fix something for you. He's also a goofball so all serious-type character, beware, he may get on your nerves! Leo makes a ton of faces and is very dramatic, trying only his hardest to be a lovable kind of dude.
I can't wait to play with you guys! Lets start this! |

Today is the day folks.
I know some of you have just literally been approved as new members so take your time in coming up with something to write. Some of us are currently working on things as I speak. New member intros are on there way as well as improvements to certain pages. The player/contact page has been updated but will be completely redesigned here soon, as well as the resources page. Facts, features, and minor alterations to current information is on my radar. Let me know if any of you have suggestions for further info.
I'm psyched to get started and I'm sure many of you are too. I've worked hard to get this game going and so have some of my friends who assisted. Don't be afraid to break the ice and have a blast.

We have a new player for our Chief Medical Officer (healingtouch). Her name is Ashlee and hopefully she will be writing a short intro about herself soon. If you haven't welcomed her to the game, please do so. =)
In other news, I've been very impressed with the amount of holds we're getting. I didn't expect this many before the start date. For those of you itching to get writing, feel free to have something ready to post on Wednesday.
Some things to keep in mind when posting your first ICs: Days of the week are not necessary, a simple date will suffice. The in-game start date will be April 5th, 2382. Also, keep in mind that many of the officers, especially the senior staff, have already had a ship orientation a few days prior to coming aboard. I was going to add that into the plot, but it's kind of common sense that crew members would have some form of familiarity before running a brand new ship.
You can either have your character already aboard or you can write out their short journey to the ship (from Earth, from a space station, etc). Many of the characters have not met one another. There will not be a Captain's Ceremony. Be creative and have fun. If you have any questions please let me know.

This is your captain speaking...
I'm Rob and I'll be writing the captain (this journal). About Capt. Gideon Mason, following in Beck's footsteps:
- is 36 years old
- was born in New Berlin, Luna (moon of Earth)
- is Israeli/French
- is a Scorpio
- is slightly afraid of his First Officer
- thinks his ship is far too large
- is a war veteran
- has a co-dependent relationship with his counselor (counselor_dave)
As for me, I'm just a nerd. More specifically, a 25-year-old pizza guy, married to Beck (the Dave to my Gideon) and a childhood friend of the moderator and fellow Trekkie. I also have a crippling pr0n addiction. See you out there! |

about me
H'lo, my name is Beck(y), and I'm an RPG addict. Jaykay. No really. I've been at it for over a decade now and spanned many fandoms. This will be my first Star Trek game, however. I'm 24, for the record, married to the captain Rob (captain_mason) and BFFs with Dan (le founder). They wrangled me into this, so here I am. I'll be playing the Assistant Chief Engineer and the ship's counselor. See below for more.
about my characters
lt_gaia - Lieutenant Gaia Callahan, Assitant Chief Engineer. She's British, spunky, 26 years old, biracial (Afro-Caucasian), single, a Gemini, her parents are aboard the ship, and finally, she's super into holographs.
counselor_dave - Lieutenant-Commander David Long, ship's counselor. He's from San Fransisco, is a bit neurotic, is 29 years old, also biracial (Chinese-Caucasian), single, a Libra, left his family at home (thank god!) and spends most of his free time (and working time) with Gideon (Captain Mason).
big_guns - Lieutenant Gerard Godana, one of the tactical officers. He is a widower, has two teenagers and pretty well keeps to himself.
That's enough jibber-jabber from me (and parenthesis). Solid.
