Where my trekkies at?

I have a hankering for some scifi action and I am sick of Sith lords and light sabers. Where are the real geeks at? Who wants phasers and photon torpedoes? Who wants green skinned girls? Holler out all you Trek lovers. Lets see some action at warp speed!

Fen

Not a trekkie, but I'm interested in a trek RP and whatnot. :)

Cynergi

And what series are you familiar with? TOS, TAS, TMS, TNG, DS9, VGR?

Fen


Mikkaddo

TOS and one or two of the TOS and pre-TOS books . . . Pike for life man <3

<.< . . . >.> . . . . I know what James Kirk's middle name is

[spoiler]Tiberius[/spoiler]
Oops all salt!

Cynergi

I had something in mind that would be in the later TMS -> TNG era. It would be between the time Kirk "died" saving the Enterprise B and the commision of the C. So technically Pre-TNG.

Fen

I like it. Keep us updated on the rp you have in mind, I'll see what I can do with keeping up with ya.

Cynergi

Well as any trekkie would probably be aware. This time frame I am looking at is seldom touched. Kirk won't reappear from the Nexxus for close to 80 years. Picard hasn't even been born yet. Starfleet is still deep into exploration. The Romulans are attempting to set the Klingons and The Federation back on the path to war. (As seen the TNG Episode "Yesterday's Enterprize". I want to use the USS Ambassador as the setting for the RP. I am still doing some research on that though.

Fen

Sounds good. :) any limit to the types of characters used? (IE: Go all furry, or just to species listed in the show.) Also, what kind of creative limitations are we held to? (I would like to make a species and personality copy of Fen but have the history different obviously. Though I am able to make a new character if that is the case.)

Cynergi

Alright Just an update. Mainly technical stuff. Here is the USS Ambassador: http://stexpanded.wikia.com/wiki/USS_Ambassador_(prototype)
The Time frame is going to be right around the time of her Launch about 2-3 months after her intitial shake down cruise. The reason I chose the USS Ambassador for this is simple. Other than a few mentions here and there during the TV series and books there is no Canon Records of this ship in the Star Trek universe meaning we can pretty much do what we want with her in our RP.

Addressing Characters. I would like to keep it as canon as possible, But I have nothing against being either Full Furry or human as other species (Vulcans, Romulans, Klingons, and the like will be non-furry). You want to make your Fursona a new species? That's fine. The United Federation Of Planets is made up of 1000s of species across hundreds of planets with new member planets added regularly. I just ask that things like Immortals or undead be left out. (sorry but they just really don't fit in with the genre too well) More  too come when I have more time.....

Fen

I like it so far. And with a bit of a more creative spark arriving for me in the past few days I am sure to make a character that could keep away from the usual slothy person I play.

Cynergi

Fen.....not play a slothy person? Is that legal? I do not know if i will be using my fursona or another character. Too preoccupied on research with the Ambassador and tje time frame I wanna use.

Cynergi

Ok. Having done some Research I have found that the USS Ambassador was comissioned on or around November of 2325 (46 years before Kirk would re-emerge from the Nexus and 20 years after Jean-Luc Picard was born) There were really no notable captains or starships in this era other than the Enterprise-B which had a rather uneventful run before being either destroyed or decomissioned prior to 2344 when the Enterprise C was comissioned and built. That leaves us with a nice little window to work with in terms of RP. In fact, from what I have uncovered, NOTHING of note happened during 2325 and 2344. Kind of a boring 19 years there.

Fen

Still interested here. :) But since you know more about the lore of the trek universe, I'd like to say perhaps more minor events happening. Nothing on the scale of meeting and combating the borg, Q, or time space recursions.

But that doesn't mean nothing can happen that wouldn't be notable for the ship itself. :D
