Currently, I have two female characters and one male; the next character I make will almost definitely be a bloke. I try to make my female characters look as rugged and tomboyish as possible so they don't end up as sex objects.
Yvoot would probably sing some Bajoran pop music. Failing that, she'd sing the lumberjack song. Korval would almost certainly sing "Swedish Pagans" by Sabaton, in the original Klingon. Ke'thal, while not brilliant at singing, more than makes up for it with sheer enthusiasm. She would probably perform a medley of all the…
Your weapon plan seems more than adequate; with the right tactical consoles, your Defiant should be more than a match for anything the Iconians throw its way. (Within reason, I mean.) I have more advice, though, if you're interested. Your science bridge officers will need to be able to use tractor beams in order to hold…
Yvoot: It depends. If she'd recently been in pitched battle with the Heralds, she'd probably spend several hours curled up with a book until she stopped aching everywhere. Otherwise, she generally visits her family on Bajor, plays basketball, eats a great many jumja sticks, drinks tea, plays holonovels, practices martial…
I generally like to imagine my characters' voices in my head, so I've put a fair bit of thought into voice acting. Also, I'm British, which tends to carry through. Yvoot (my tactical Bajoran captain): Nana Visitor doing a British accent. Elisa Flores: Veronica Taylor. Zarva: A slightly more mature-sounding Zoey Proasheck.…
Wyteny Yvoot Bey, a tomboyish Bajoran and huge Kai Kira fangirl, was thrown in at the deep end. Fortunately, her blazing spirit and strength of will acted like a floatation device, making her one of Starfleet's most renowned captains. The constant wars nowadays don't traumatise her nearly as much as they would most people.…
I've taken it upon myself to read this entire thread, and it's been brilliant so far, albeit somewhat disheartening (vis a vis people's average competence). I'm learning a great deal.
I'd very much like to see gender-neutral character customisation. Men have the right to wear skirts and make-up, just as women have the right to wear formal outfits which cover most of their skin, and everyone should have the right to whichever stance they want. Star Trek Online already pretty much leads the world in terms…
Archer never defected to the Xindi, nor did he defect to the Klingon Empire. In fact, he never betrayed his people at all, and he did kind of stick up for T'Pol during the HIV allegory episode.
I'd like high heels to be optional for any boots which have been seen with extended heel thingies in canon, with a slider for heel length. Thus, people would have a choice between flats, small heels, medium-sized heels and ridiculously long ones, so no-one is forced to go outside their heel comfort zone in order to wear…
This sounds pretty brilliant. I'll definitely play your series and rejoice in Cardassian and Bajoran character development. There are legal issues with using canon characters, though, so you might want to examine the Foundry EULA.
