Race: Human

Bram Neumann grew up on the USS Odyssey where his parents both worked for Starfleet. His father was an engineer and his mother taught science aboard the ship. Bram acquired a strong work ethic from his father and an appreciation for science and math from his mother. While not extraordinary, he excelled in his classes and was considered quite capable, both mentally and physically.

At the age of 16, Bram and his two younger siblings (Harvey Neumann, Born 2358; Sharla Neumann, Born 2362), along with other civilians, were offloaded to Deep Space 9 before the USS Odyssey proceeded as ordered to the Gamma Quadrant. His parents remained on the ship for the operation and were killed when the USS Odyssey was destroyed by the Dominion in 2370.

Bram lived on DS9 until he entered the Starfleet Academy in 2372. He graduated as a helmsman and began a cadet cruise aboard the USS Tian An Men where he gained much of his experience.

Bram was then assigned to the USS Thunderchild one month prior to her refit being completed. He serves as the Helm Officer on first shift and took part in the Battle of DS9 in 2377.]]> Born: April 25, 2354

This thread is completely Out Of Character!

This thread is to be used for the sole purpose of character rules and creation. Please feel free to ask any and all Character related questions here. Anyone can offer up answers to position questions or what is needed in the ship.

1) Anyone can create a character concept. However, the Captain and XO have veto authority over Senior Staff level concepts.

2) All Player Characters must have a basic profile before game play.

3) A player can play up to but not exceeding one main character and two secondary characters (IE Junior Officers, Warrant Officers, or Crewmen)

4) Secondary Characters are typically minor NPC's that could be but not limited to roommates, follow crew members in the same work area or friends within the ship. Secondary Characters can not be Department Heads, members of the Senior Staff or Senior Officers (Rank of Lieutenant or higher).

5) Character concepts should include a basic back story and some notes of the character's experience and skills. Details such as birthdays, home worlds and family are not required. However Race is required.

6) As it stands currently, there are no character generation rules for this game. This is a free form system. However power gaming will not be tolerated. No character will be allowed to over shadow all other characters. This game is for fun and some logic and sense will be applied when creating characters.

7) Character Background is the realm of the Narrator. Meaning what you have created is what your character knows to be true. As Narrator, I will draw from this background to create story lines for your character. This might include but not limited to adding and making changes to the actual events of a character's history. However this will be done only to forward story plots, not to change the over character in game play.

8) The Technical Adviser or TA has final authority over any and all character backgrounds and concepts. The TA may find the need to veto a character background if said story violates Star Trek Canon or the basic ideals of the Universe. If you have any questions about Canon please feel free to PM the TA with your questions.]]>

Mordecai Noonia was a remarkably unremarkable young man for most of his life. Slight of build with pale skin and reddish mop of unruly hair, it wasn't until much later when he discovered an affinity for all things non-organic. Taking things apart and putting them back together caused its fair shares of troubles, as power packs don't often comply with such shenanigans. It gave the future star-fleet engineer a flexibility however, as things that explode accidentally can be encouraged to do so deliberately.

Star-fleet had it's own shares of trials and tribulations. Fitting in always seems to be harder than naught, keeping to oneself having the advantage of appearing mysterious when really you felt adrift. Physically and mentally competent to appear beneficial,Lt. Noonia found quite early in his career that allowing others to assume you were average gave you more chances to shine. Lt. Noonia was servicing the Academy during the Breen Attack on Earth, which garnered him quite a bit of personal experience. Losing a good friend in the name of Michael Brown during the attack left him personally withdrawn from socializing with others. Later on, graduating as Salutatorian of the Academy of his particular year, Lt. Noonia opted for a Science Vessel called the USS Potluck to apply his skills.

After a brief but rich experience with the Nebula Class USS Potluck. A Workhorse class Miranda Science Vessel, Lt. Noonia enjoyed a fairly uneventful but educational tour. Warp Engine Modification allowed a .001 efficiency increase of power to thrust ratio. His modification was applied across the board of ships to great effect, and mild commendation. Lt. Noonia then requested to transfer to the USS Thunderchild, wanting to sink his teeth into such a luxurious and prominent ship.

Chief Science Officer of the Thunderchl

Greyish-blue eyes - Age: 23

Brown to dark brown spot - A Cinnamon complexion - Height 6’2” – Weight 210 pds

Studied in the fields of: Metaphysic's, Neurology, Biophysics’, Molecular Biology, Genetics’

Growing up on the Trill home world, academics are the weapons of choice. Something like a mixed between the Vulcans and Humans. Increase’s parents loved each other very much, and spent all their lives savings to make sure he had the bed schooling, after school training, and sleep learning. They were both accomplished Neurologist. His father skilled with the way thought passes across the synapses of the brain and his mother studied Dreams and thought patterns. This ultimately led to more and more learning… a sort of experiment on a child, by two genius parents. Because of their care for the child, Increase never wanted for anything. Which ment, he never had to worry about the unimportant things so he can focus on his studies...Increased loved all the games they came up with…to teach…he also enjoyed very much. It’s what helped develop his competitive edge.

Increase was home taught, since his parents were accomplished in their field of academics, they were also able to teach the basic things kids need to know. They wanted take him a field trip to other planets. Thou his love is not for outer space, he did grow a knack for Metaphysics…because he believed in something greater then himself.

Increase was a happy child, never really had a problem with anyone. Even those whom he challenged and won against, he would try to make friends with them after words. As a result, he has made many friends and connections in the strangest of places. Increase has never really known emotional struggle (or struggle in any form.) and because of what his parents provided…always having everything…pushed his mentality that he is good at everything. Graduating top of all the classes he was ever in, they shipped him off to Starfleet.

In Starfleet…Increase faced the challenge of new and different races that were not seen often on the Trill Home World. This only caused him to sink a little more into the mentality of being better than everyone. Armed with the study skills his parents taught, he did just thought and studied day in and out. He passed most all his classes , his only rival threw most of Cadet school was Julian Bashir (Chef Medical Officer of DS9 and the Defiant). Luckily for [FFA500]Increase[/color], he found someone of like mind and thus forged a friendship.

Meeting Bashir was perhaps the best thing in his life at that moment. Bashir was studying for the Medical Field…a place he want to go, however the councilors thought otherwise and shoved him into it. However, upon reflection in this….he is rather happy where he is in life.

They both wanted to be stationed on DS9…but they already had a good crew of Science Officers, however the Thunderchild was looking for some. This is now where [color=#]Increase is stationed as Chief Science Officer.

Born To: Joanna McCoy and Unknown. (Mom never said who it was)

Everyone has someone to live up to. In my case it is my grandfather. Leonard McCoy. and Just like my mom who followed him I too followed in their path. Well....trying to at any rate. Same school, for almost the same background. Sociology, psychology, and exobiology as well as a smattering in anthropology and xenopology. I wanted to learn and learn I did.

I wanted to be like him, but not him.

Granny took the divorce hard, mom said, but stayed true to raise my mom. I got to write to gramps a few time growing up and once I started school and the at the University of Mississippi, far more frequently. He was slowly working on trying to get out and settle some where quiet. My luck....He settled back home here in Mississippi, and again my amazing luck....he took up part time teaching at the University. In most of the final classes I was taking. I have never worked so hard to pass a class in my time at school. I usually had the highest rankings for what I did and it was effortless! Not so much with gramps at the wheel. However, pass I did and with still the highest marks.

After classes were done he and I talked about well everything, what I wanted in life, what I wanted to do with the knowledge I was given, and how mom was (he never asked about dad, but he knew something). It was through him that he pushed me to join in his footsteps to join the Starfleet Academy to follow his legacy.

With his suggestion and his recommendation I did so. I was soon placed and working on the USS Thunderchild (NCC-63549). This was right before the Dominion War breakout. Dear good gods talk about trial by fire. I was assigned primarily to help with counselling and arbitration between crew but ...But when the heavy fighting started they needed the help in the med bay. I worked closely with Leana Vanlaere the CMO on board. It seemed at times to never end. However we almost got a reprieve here for a few days of shore leave. It was good to get away but I worry about the ship.

O gods, the Capt and XO, were brought to us...They..they were so far gone. There was nothing anyone could do but ease what they could and move to those that could be saved.

Dammit I am just a head doc...I can't save them even if I was there.

This last fight was one of the worst all told. However there is a silver lining to this. A new acting Captain, and mostly new XO staffing. This can be a good thing, fresh blood, or at least almost fresh blood will be good moral to this crew.

And I think I am the only acting Counselor on board time, to get my act together and help who I can. This is War and I won't be broken that easily. Death is inevitable but not today for me and those I can help stay in one piece mentally.]]>

Position: Chief Medical Officer

Born: December 5, 2347
Race: Orion

Leana Vanlaere was born into a unique colony of Orions - a colony that sought to break away from traditional Orion practices of slavery and piracy and embrace a more honest style of living. This colony was known as Sigma Orionis*.

Leana was the second child to mother Aeris and father Raightus. Her older brother, Aibne went into politics and Leana applied and was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2365.
During her 2nd year of medical training with Starfleet, her father Raightus died of an Orion cancer known as Mintaka**. Devastated, Leana took time off to recover from her loss and support her mother Aeris. She returned in 2368 and graduated in 2374.

Leana fell just shy of being in the top of her class - something she blames on an ill-fated romance with a fellow Starfleet Cadet, Kevin Rigel. It is safe to say that Cadet Rigel was entranced by Leana's Orion pheromones and little else. Leana has grown a resentment toward any kind of "relationship" (and some unresolved resentment toward men) and insists on focusing on her work - her first passion.

Following her graduation, Dr Vanlaere accepted her first position as assistant medical officer aboard the USS Bradbury in 2375. She served two years and received glowing commendations before being offered the position of Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Thunderchild.

*Writer's note: I am taking liberties with the Orion race and what little is known about them. If anything I write conflicts with current Trek lore, I'll happily change it.

Jackie F Campbell was born in 2340 to Kennard and Selina Campbell on Mars. His distant ancestors were from Scotland, including Sir Neil Campbell, who fought in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Jackie is a formal member of Clan Campbell and an honorary member of the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland (Unofficial Unit).

Both Kennard and Selina are researchers for Federation Science Bureau. Selina sits on the President's Council for Scientific Research while Kennard is a leading researcher in exploring the plant life discovered in the Gama Quadrant. They held high degrees in genetic engineering and botany. Together the pair have more than a hundred papers published regarding genetically engineered plants.

Kennard and Selina raised their son with love. They valued education and pushed Jackson to study often. They found that he was a gifted student but in high school he discovered an ability for athletic competition. He began to shift his studies from math and science to Martial arts, water polo, and Parrises Squares.

Despite having more than enough credentials to join the Federation Science Bureau, Jackson entered Starfleet Academy in 2358. The act caused a number of fights between him and his parents. His father refused to speak with him for weeks leading up to his departure for the academy but cried when his hugged Jackson goodbye. His mother had pleaded with him to change his mind and he could see heartbreak in her eyes but he never felt he lost her love. Upon graduation in 2362, Jackie was ranked fifth in his class. His parents were both in attendance and his mother seemed to beam with more pride than anyone else in the audience.

Jackson set lofty goals for himself, and hoped to reach captain before thirty-five years of age. He had dreamed of exploring the Gama Quadrant at the command of his own starship.

Jackson was a officer aboard the USS Fredrickson (NCC-42111) prior to the Dominion war as a Helms officer. Just prior to the outbreak of war, he narrow avoided a transfer to a science vessel which was set by his father. The transfer came with a promotion and would take him away from the front lines. Jackson fought the transfer and with the help of his Captain. He remained aboard serving with pride and honor throughout most of the war. He was later transfered to the USS Thunderchild (NCC-63549) where he served under Lieutenant Commander Rayne within the Operations Department. The two became very close friends as the war raged around them.

During the year of repairs, newly promoted Commander Campbell took a step away from the Thunderchild to work for Admiral Ross while repairs were being made. Jackson worked to establish relief efforts in Bajorin space as well as liaison with the Cardashians in official matters. During this year, he spent a lot of time on Deep Space Nine within Admiral Ross' headquarters aboard the station learning to become a captain, mentored by Admiral Ross himself. He was issued his orders to assume Command leadership of the USS Thunderchild in January 2377.]]> Born: Apr 06, 2340 (Stardate: 19976.19)

Assignment: U.S.S. Thunderchild (NCC - 63549)
Position: Chief Engineer

Species: Human
Born: August 8th, 2353 (Stardate: 32245.93)
Place of Birth: Utopia Colony, Mars, Sol System
Date of Death: February 19, 2377 (Stardate: 53835.82)

Born at Utopia Colony as Kevin Medart, Kiera always knew she was different than the other boys. She felt out of place and often had conflicting likes and dislikes to them. She had a hard time making friends because of it. Her parents, concerned with her antisocial behavior, had her see a councilor (from October 4th, 2361 [Stardate 39712.96] to November 1st 2362 Stardate 40700.97]). The councilor diagnosed her with gender identity issues. What that meant was that Kiera didn't feel right as a boy, and felt she would be better off if she was a girl. She confronted her parents, and they supported her, bringing her to San Francisco, Earth on December 18th, 2362 {Stardate 40819.24) to get treatment, to be the girl she had always felt at heart. After the surgery and hormone production “tweaking” to get hormone levels within normal ranges for a girl, Kiera and her parents took a shuttle back to Mars on January 2nd, 2363 (Stardate 40856.95) to continue their lives.

Kiera was raised around the shipyards. Her mother was a starship designer and her father was a construction worker building the ships that her mother designed. Kiera followed her parents around often, learning more about starship design and construction before her teen years than most Starfleet officers learn in their entire careers. That exposure to the Utopia Planitia shipyards and her previous visit to San Francisco for her gender reassignment are what Kiera attributes to her decision to apply to Starfleet Academy in 2371. She passed the entrance exams and enrolled in Basic Warp Design, Subspace Geometry, Astrosciences, and Earth History, among other courses. She graduated Starfleet Academy at the top of her class in 2375.

Upon graduation of the Academy, she was assigned to Utopia Planitia, the same posting her parents were at and where she was raised. Kiera worked hard, often offering her opinion to her work crew leader (which often turned out to be the right course of action). Her team leader saw potential in her, and recommended her for promotion. after a year of her dedication and helpfulness to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, she was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade on August 4th, 2375 (Stardate 52413.86). Her hard work paid off again when she lead a repair team repairing and refitting the Akira-class heavy cruiser, U.S.S. Thunderchild (NCC – 63549) in 2376.

She had decided that she did not want to stay at the shipyards. She wanted to explore the galaxy. She put in a request to be transferred to the U.S.S. Thunderchild on January 1st, 2377 (Stardate 53711.21), citing her unique experience with refitting the ship and her previous experience being raised around the shipyards. The acting Captain, Commander Addison Bonham, accepted her for the position of Chief Engineer on February 19th, 2377 (Stardate 53834.4), promoting her to Lieutenant at the age of 23 to serve the post.]]> Rank: Lieutenant
