Characters and Vessels

Lo'Mesh, would you post everyone's character and ship here? List race and career, and the ship name and class? I think it would help out a lot in our contributions.

It may also be a good chance to tweak our characters as well as promote the fanfic on the forum.

I don't know if I spelled it wrong or you did here, its "Tucson" as in Tucson, Arizona. sorry if I seem a bit nit picky.

that's why that is here to seek out and destroy any mistakes and any edits about the chars.

Sunstrider as one word, but other than that mine looks fine

The full name is Tia Trollica Xenna. Also maybe you should start the RP after you have posted the first chapter. That way everyone has some knowledge of the setting.

Name: Admiral Lunar Darkmoon
Species: Vuclan
Image:

Ship: Sovereign Class Assault Cruiser "The Moon's Glory"
Armament: Forward: 2 disruptor dual banks, one disruptor array, one quantum torpedo bay. Aft: 3 Disruptor arrays and a quantum torpedo bay.
Personality: Introverted, very logical, loves science and history. Believes that the ends meet the means. Very high sense of justice.

Name: Admiral Katlyn
Species: Caitian
Class: Engineer
Ship: Dreadnought Cruiser class
Armament: 4 Dual Disruptor Beam Banks Mk XII Fore, 4 Disruptor Turret Mk XII Aft.
Personality: Playful, Outgoing, and Aggressive. Otherwise likes to tinker with things she's never seen before or if it has been modified. Also love to delegate and pass on small duties but will step up and take as a challenge anything people think she can't handle.

Correction on the name, Vanderwilt has a T
And yes. science officer

^pic = awesome.

Will the story of my character that I put up on the Roleplay section affect the storyline and the fanfic itself or no?

That is a separate character. This is where you post your character for lo'mesh's fanfic so base it off your in-game character.
Correction read your other post in roleplay. You should post it here so lo'mesh can easily access the details on your character.

Should I post HERE or should I make a new topic?

post here

Travis Maurice Vanderwilt was born in a ship called the U.S.S. Norton right before a space rift opened up and engulfed it. The ship ended up in the world of Equestria in which the ship was abandoned for irreparable damage. He was raised by a pony of an unknown name. The pony was a great scientist and inventor. One day, the pony made a space pod for Travis to fly in space. During the first flight, Travis found the ship he was born in. During his exploration of the ship, Travis accidentally activated the ship's beacon and signalled starfleet. When the signal managed to get through the rift and to a nearby starfleet outpost, The U.S.S. Norton, and Travis were to be taken away back to Earth. Travis became a stafleet officer in the age of 15 and became a Captain at the age of 17 making him one of the yougest starfleet captains. Three Years later, The U.S.S. Norton was returned to him for his excellency and as part of his dad's will. Travis then vowed to himself that he will one day find the world he was raised in and the creature that raised him. This is where his journey begins.

How's that?

shoot i skimmed this the first time i read it. the characters of this are supposed to be humans from the federation they don't know about equestria.

It seems that there is already quite a few characters participating, but if there is a need for another then I have one to contribute. As well as a short opening scene already written as an introduction and a paper-thin explaination as to how he could join without having been part of the initial "incident" that has already occured.

I'd do it. I think we may have had a few participants inadvertently "drop out."

Very well. I will prepare a more in-depth bio and have it posted with accompanying screenshots tonight after I get home.

We need intertwining bios for each character so there can be an explained reason why the characters are on the same fleet in the first place.

Good Idea caroo. It will probably be something simple say: the same year in Starfleet academy.

As the event, as it were, has already happened I was laboring under the assumption that should the fellow I'm currently crafting be accepted, that he would have no prior connection to the rest of fleet. Their meeting would be an event of circumstance later on. Then again, I'm kinda going off on a tangent of my own to make that work. You'll see what I mean when I toss up the intro, bio, and photos later today.

As promised. Captain David Rothan, commander of the USS Chevalier. The best bio I can give at the moment is the quote I have on his character sheet:

"You know, halfway through my time in the Academy we had to gives speeches on a member of Starfleet that inspired us to make great changes in ourselves. I think everyone was asleep by the fourth speech with the name Kirk or Picard in it. Everyone woke up when out of 100 cadets, I was the only one who named Johnathan Archer. Maybe it was because I saw in him everything I wanted to be: ambassador, explorer, and unashamedly human."

Free to be moved or deleted later, but this is my entry for consideration. As I am unlearned in the art of Trek technobabble, some parts may be canonical incorrect.


Captain Rothan inspected the object he was holding closely, turning it over in his hand and checking for any overt signs of wear or discoloration. Raising it closer to the overhead lights, he squinted as he studied the smooth lines and glossy sheen. A small smile curled across his lips.

“Not too shabby,” he said to himself and put the white dress shoe, polished to a near mirror-like finish, into a small box next to the other one. He placed the box inside a drawer and straightened his duty blouse as he inspected his appearance in the mirror. Face, clean shaven; blond hair, groomed and within regulation standards; duty uniform, sharply creased and perfectly fitted. Satisfied with his efforts, the Captain picked up a datapad he had received earlier that morning and began to pore over the reports from the previous night’s watch officer.

“Tea, preset one,” he said and the small replicator in his quarter’s lounge area hummed. He retrieved the steaming mug of tea and took an exploratory sip, the light orchid notes with a hint of sweet cream mixed well with the oolong. Nodding with satisfaction, he continued to glance at the reports. “Computer, begin log recording.”

“Captain’s log, Stardate 65781.2. Captain David Rothan, commanding.” David began to pace as he sipped tea and spoke.” “The USS Chevalier has now been out of contact with Starfleet for four weeks. Astrometrics continues to search for familiar star patterns, but nothing we have seen so far correlates to any of our databases. All scans are being analyzed and recorded for study at a later date.” He glanced at the reports in his hand. “By all calculations, our supply state is in excellent condition. Mandatory rationing has not been considered yet and acts of voluntary frugality are already becoming commonplace. I couldn’t have asked for a more disciplined crew. It makes my job that much easier.”

David smiled to himself and took another sip of tea before continuing. “My science team still doesn’t have an explanation as to what happened at the transwarp gate. From the data they have managed to salvage, we have a working theory but it’s far from complete. The Chevalier lost helm control after being struck by several Borg projectiles and drifted too close to the gate during the battle. Our weapons were still online, so I ordered all phaser banks to open fire on the gate’s power regulation nodes. It was my hope that an instability over a large enough area would be enough to, at least, temporarily disable the gate.” David took a larger swallow, letting the hot liquid sear a trail down his throat.

“I was mostly correct. The gate’s field grew very unstable much faster than we anticipated. Before a ship could be signaled to take us under tow, the transwarp field somehow inverted and we were pulled in. With no helm control and already inside a destabilizing warp conduit, the ship was at the mercy of whatever forces chose to intervene on our behalf. I say that only because we survived. Sensors recorded a large, explosive shockwave moments before the Chevalier was thrown from the conduit, so I must assume that the fleet was successful in destroying the transwarp gate.

“It was a victory, but in the face of being completely lost and out of contact, it’s a small victory. We still have no warp capability and our last attempt resulted in an overload of several EPS junctions across multiple decks. Half of the phaser arrays are now offline and deflector screens are minimal, at best. Impulse speeds have been limited to half to minimize the danger of accidental impacts with stellar debris. The computer malfunctions that ran rampant for the first week have been corrected for the most part. Transporters are non-functional until we can repair the matter stream filters. It could have been worse.”

Finishing the dregs of his tea, David set both the mug and the datapad aside. “There has been one positive development. We’ve managed to reach an M-class planet with a single moon, but the particulars of this system are puzzling, at best. It appears as though the star is orbiting the planet and long-range scans detected energy fields of a type we have never encountered before. I’ve ordered the ship to maintain orbit on the dark side of the planet’s moon until we have gathered more information. In addition, survey teams are scouting the lunar surface for any useful resources.” He sighed. “The crew remains…hopeful. I can allow myself the same optimism.”

The door chimed. “Computer, end log.” David glanced at the door. “Enter.”

Talis, his First Officer, was waiting on the other side. “Am I disturbing you, sir?” the Andorian asked.

“Not at all. Just going over last night’s reports. Can I get you some tea?” He noticed the raised eyebrow immediately. “I know, but one day you’ll at least give it a try.”

“When I’m addressing you as ‘Admiral’ perhaps, but until then no, thank you sir. If you have a moment I’d like to show you something in Stellar Cartography.” Talis held up her hand to forestall any questions. “It’s not what we’ve been hoping for, but we think it’s significant.” David picked up his datapad and accompanied Talis, his taller stature allowing him to keep up with her quicker pace.

“Significant in what way?” he asked as they walked purposefully.

“Significant in that we recorded an event yesterday that gave off the same energy pulse that knocked us out of the transwarp conduit.” Talis fairly skidded to a stop as David halted.

“Excuse me. Do you mean to tell me that I’m only hearing about this today? Care to explain that lapse in reporting, Commander?”

“The results were inconclusive at the time of the event. We needed a day to process and evaluate the data. Would you have rather we come to you with more questions and no answers?”

“I would rather you at least inform me; we have a lot of extra time on our hands, if you haven’t noticed. Understood?”
Talis nodded her acknowledgement and they continued in silence until they entered Stellar Cartography. Inside, a Reman in the uniform of a science officer was busily scrolling through several images of data. He looked up at the pair and offered only the barest of greetings.

“Captain.”

“Eeylarn,” David replied in kind. “What do you have for me?” The forward section of the room melted into a stunningly sharp mosaic of stars, nebula, and planets. One section was already highlighted.

“This was our exit point from the conduit,” Eeylarn intoned, pointing to the area. A splash of prismatic color fanned out from the point indicated. “And those are the energy waves that followed us out.”

“They look almost like a rainbow,” David said quietly.

“The energy waves are visible across many spectrums,” Talis continued. “But they have no known analog, at least in our space. Bring up yesterday’s recording.” A few moments later a similar rainbow burst, much larger than the previous one, appeared in a sector of space fairly close to the one they currently occupied.

“How far away was that?” David asked.

Eeylarn sighed. “Two weeks travel, at warp 9.”

David rubbed his temples and starred at the expanded ring of colors until it dissipated completely. “Did we get any real data on this?” His two officers shook their heads. “I see.” It was a long moment before he spoke again. “Well done. Continue to monitor the area and try to glean what you can from our archives. Every little bit helps.” He turned to exit the room, his shoulders and head not quite as rigid and confident as when he entered, but paused before leaving. “Let me know if anything else comes up, and I mean as soon as it happens. The hour doesn’t matter.”

“Aye aye, Captain,” Talis and Eeylarn responded.

David offered a smile and exited the room. “Computer,” he said as he began to make his way to his morning briefing. “My ready room. Coffee, black.”
