I did a couple searches and I didn't find any threads spesific to JUST sharing bois for our characters and BOs, so I thought I'd make one. If there is one floating around someplace, please post a link and I'll repost this there.
I love to write, so naturally I write up bios for my chars. I put a lot of time and effort into these...yeah I'm a perfectionist like that :P I got to thinking that I can't be the only person playing who wants to expand upon their in-game stories. The possibilities are limitless.
Anyway, I'll start. The only Bio I'm satisfied with is my mule/crafter Borg. His name is Necros, captain of the U.S.S. Dear Brother. I know there are a few typos in it...I fixed them after I took these screenshots.
Part 1Part 2
I apologize for the cut screenshot. My image hosting kept shrinking it and I couldn't read it until I cut it in half

Anyway, I'm curious of others' stories...it's fn sometmes to just go to the exchange and make like I'm shopping but really read bios. These are like the hidden jewels of the STO universe.

I have two other characters I haven't added bios for yet.
Nei: "Transplant" of my WoW toon...
"Gnomes... He said his transporter would take me instantly to Ironforge. I had heard stories of people using them and being turned into chickens, figured they were just wild stories. But when I awoke in a chicken coop in Texas, I started to think otherwise. I assume there's a very confused chicken in Ironforge and a gnome trying to undo a transformation that didn't happen. Well, at least there's no orcs in this reality... right? Huh? What's a Klingon?"
Lloth: Play off the Forgotten Realms character...
"As a hobby... god to a bunch of primitive proto-vulcans that live underground on planet Abeir-Toril"
Zukara: Refugee from Wing Commander Academy cartoon...
"Former Princess of the Kilrathi Empire and High Priestess of Sivar until the homeworld Kilrah was destroyed and the Kilrathi were forced to rejoin their distant cousins; the Caitians. Now, having lost all her power and prestige she has found her way into Starfleet to make a new life."
First, my tac VA (which, yes, is supposed to be "the real me", lol):
My engineer LG (note: the Reydovan Empire is one of my custom nations from roleplaying settings I've been in):
After years in the Obstetrics and Gynecology research department, Ressurection drone grew sick of genitalia and defected to the Federation. Unfortunately, the Federation had other plans, and decided Ressurection Drone was needed to lead a science division in, Lo and Behold!!! Obstetrics and Gynecology. There will be many "accidental" abortions and false TRIBBLE claims, or not. Dont not mess with a liberated BORG.

hmm i guess i dont have much in the way of bios on my tac capt.
My main character from back when I started playing. Just getting back into the game after a long sabbatical.
At this position he showed great understanding and interest for engineering. And rose quickly within the enlisted ranks as an engineer, for usually coming up with untraditional and occasionally crazy solution to different problems.
Under an away mission to a new colony on the edges of Federation space. The Tiburon was called away on a distress call and had to leave the away team behind. Shortly after, the colony was attacked by Nausicaan pirates.
Most of his team members, including the First Officer, had been killed or incapacitated in the initial assault. He had also been hit im self several times by disruptor fire, and was seriously wounded. He found himself heavily outmanned and outgunned, without any possibility for help from his ship. He had no other alternative but to take command him self and fight back to survive. By using some intuitive tactics and engineering skills, he managed to hold back the attacking Nausicaan pirates with help of the colonists and surviving team members. The Tiburon returned to the colony shortly thereafter, and managed to repel the pirates.
He spent a month recovering at a Federation medical facility, before returning to the Tiburon. Where he was given a field promotion to Ensign and awarded the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor for his effort.
Due to the pressing need for more captains, as well as repeated requests and recommendations from Captain Andersen, he was finally assigned to Earth Spacedock by Admiral Quinn for evaluation.
After showing great potential during the Borg incident, he was promoted to Lieutenant and was given the command of the USS Fridtjof Nansen

I really enjoy reading other people's writing about their characters. I haven't yet taken a good look at the earlier posts in this thread, but I will.
I also am working on three blogs with bios and log entries (and other stuff). The addresses are in my sig. I've also linked to some other sites where people have written some good bios, etc. If anyone wants me to link to their site/blog/whatever, let me know.
Just for fun, here's the bio of one of my characters:
Patrick Guinness Donal OKennedy (or, in the more Gaelic form he sometimes adopts, Paidraig Guinness Domhnall OCinneididh) was the child of Kathleen OKennedy, a descendant of the legendary Arthur Guinness and a chemist at the St. Jamess Gate Brewery in Dublin, and Timothy OKennedy, the director of the adjacent Guinness Institute for Advanced Study (GIAS), which was founded after World War III. (Synthahol was actually invented at the GIAS by accident. It is still regarded as a mistake there.)
Patrick entered Starfleet Academy somewhat later in life. He spent his early years traveling around Earth and throughout the solar system, often working odd jobs on shuttles and orbital rigs. For eighteen months, he also served as an engineering mate on the SS Death Star, an aging interstellar freighter.
While at the Academy, Patrick earned a reputation. Because of his personal charm and his air of self-confidence, he was sometimes compared him to a young James Kirk. True to the comparison, he also displayed what some instructors felt was a contempt for authority. As a teaching assistant in advanced engineering II, he instructed his students how to make beer with spare parts from the demonstration warp core, leading to a now-famous remark by the Academy commandant that a starship is not a brewery. Rumor also had it that he was responsible for a prank in which the Academys transporters began reversing the gender of everyone who used them.
Though many of his instructors also complained about his lack of effort, in the end, he excelled in both theoretical and practical work. When the USS Khun Bulom experienced a freak collision with a micro-singularity, Cadet OKennedy saved the ship from a warp core breach by increasing the matter-antimatter mix ration to 2:1, clogging the injectors with particle build upa practice that he learned aboard the Death Star called flash freezing.
After leaving the Academy, Patrick was assigned to the USS Kilkee. He is now in command of the USS Ardent.
One day, my fourth grade class was invited to the USS Richmond, a Cheyenne-class cruiser, for a field trip. Part of the tour was a visit to the bridge. As looked down on New Essex below us, I knew I wanted to join Starfleet. I would be in space. I would have the best dental and medical coverage in the galaxy. And they would let me work with explosives. I really like teeth and explosives. Not at the same time, mind you, but in general.
Three weeks later the Richmond was destroyed by space ninjas or something. But the impression was made upon me and so I set out to accomplish the goal I had set before myself that day. And apart from a brief period in high school when I wanted to be a professional holoprogram author, I have stuck by that goal.
After excelling in school and athletic programs, gaining entry to Starfleet Academy was no big issue. I was initially training for science, until I learned that science positions rarely got to actually do something. Usually they just looked into the sciences viewmaster and said whatever popped into their heads. Engineers however did things. Important things. Like jury-rig a plasma core to take out a squad of boarders. Or wire a warp core to be used as an impromptu mine. Sometimes they even fixed the ship.
So I changed my area of study to Engineering. Practical sciences, the Engineering cadets snidely said to the science cadets. And indeed it was practical. I graduated in the top ten in my class.
I was assigned to the USS Kagutsuchi, a Delta-pattern modified Prometheus-class cruiser on station in the Psi Velorum sector. Mostly we were patrolling for pirates. Romulan and Reman vessels often raided ships in this area, hoping for an easy steal of some cargo. Officially they were free-booting pirates. But everyone with any brains knew they were working for the Empire. How the mighty have fallen. THe once proud Romulans reduced to a pack of scavenging wolves.
As the new Ensign, I got the grunt work. This paid off when I was assigned to lead a boarding party against a suspected Reman pirate vessel. It was a pirate vessel. It also had a class-A psyker aboard. He made Chief Elb's head explode when we found him. I knew how to deal with psykers though. I never thought those novels would come in handy, but they did. It was then I began to trust in a higher power. The Empress. Somehow, my head did not explode and I put the psyker down with a phaser shot.
For that, I got a promotion to Lieutenant. Apparently the psyker had also disabled the entire boarding team and they were about to be murdered by the Remans. Even better, I was moved to the bridge and a comfy chair.
When the Borg attacked the Vega system the Kagutsuchi, being one of the Federation's most powerful attack cruisers, was recalled to Vega. A warp cavitation caused to arrive late. By then, much of the battle was over. The USS Coridan however was in dire straits...

I think my toon's bio would explain things better. I wrote it myself. :cool:
It's made up, I know. But it was my first attempt at roleplay, so I was trying to use my imagination.
Here's my toon's bio:

Personal History:
The second Ra-dreii to carry the name and serve in Starfleet.
Named for his Great Grandfather who served aboard the U.S.S. SARATOGA, and later was appointed Efrosian Ambassador to Earth.
Chitirih was born on the planet Efros at the age of 20 enrolled at the Denobulan Academy of Science where he studied Xenobiology and Xenophysiology. After spending his Internship on Caraway 4 against the wishes of his family he enrolled to Starfleet Academy where he was promptly accepted. Upon his Graduation he was assigned to Deep Space 5 as the Chief Science Officer Where he spent several years Studying the development of the Lotian Species. After requesting reassignment so that he may have an opportunity to serve aboard an exploration vessel he was assigned to the U.S.S. YAMATO as Chief Science Officer. The YAMATO was on assignment in the Hromi Cluster when it was called to respond to the Klingon Invasion of Korvat. The YAMATO was destroyed with only 122 of the 1124 person crew surviving. Before his next posting Chitirih underwent Command training at Starfleet headquarters. Upon completion he was assigned as first officer to the U.S.S. ZIMMERMAN. After the Death of Captain Valtine RA-dreii was given a field promotion to Captain he Commanded the ZIMMERMAN for several months before Applying to be part of the newly formed Starfleet Special Services. This organization was established to assist Federation members by utilizing Starfleet Personnel with deep space experience onboard civillian exploration vessels. After a few months of preperation he took command of the I-CHAYA wich is currently deployed in the B Tran Cluster.
Vice Admiral Nicolai Kovac
One of Starfleets up and coming captains, Nicolai Kovac had originally intended to become a fighter pilot with the militia forces of his native Hestia. At the time, however, advancement through the crowd ranks of the Hestian militia was considered a near impossibility, so the ambitious Kovac transferred to Starfleet Academy after his second year. Even at the Academy, he showed an impressive grasp of military strategy and some skills in engineering, but never showed very much aptitude, or interest, in the sciences; he often acknowledges the latter as the reason why he graduated in the top 20 of his class instead of the top 10. He first achieved notoriety during the Battle of the Tibor Nebula in 2374; the battle itself was a stalemate, but Kovacs actions that day resulted in the disabling, and then destruction, of a Dominion battleship. After the war, Kovac was offered command of four other starships before the Kearsarge, but turned them down for various reasons. As a commander, Kovac is noted by his subordinates and peers as a confident, easy going, yet unconventional commander who will often socialize with those in the lower ranks, believing that while a captain should keep a certain distance between himself and his crew, it doesnt mean he has to socially ostracize himself.
Captain K'Traug
KTraug was born a mach ghoti, or runt as the humans would say, and as such it was never thought that hed have much of a career as a warrior. But KTraug was born with a high intellect and soon discovered he had an aptitude for the sciences, so decided that if he was not fated to be a warrior, he would become one of the Empires foremost scientists. He specializes in cartography, both stellar and planetary, and his Bird-of-Prey, the IKS Sekhmet, has been specially modified for this task. KTraug and the Sekhmet have mapped much of the territory within the Empire, as well as several regions outside its borders, and because of this, its not uncommon for the Sekhmet to be sent behind enemy lines to scout the positions and strengths of the forces. Most of the warrior elite sneer at KTraugs career choice, but he pays them little heed; after all, the most successful warrior is a well informed warrior.
Captain 'Freakazoid' Sun was the by-product of the very old classic cartoons of the 1980's and 90's, often spending most of his time either watching old cartoons or collecting memorabilia, including a functional 1990's computer with a genuine Pinnacle chip inside.
According to rumors at Starfleet Academy, he once slept with four female Orion cadets at the same time and resisted the combined allure of their pheremones. There is also another event that occured, but it was declared classified, and requires three Admirals with gamma-level clearance to view the report.
Ever since the incident at the Academy, he has both frustrated and impressed his superiors with his unorthodox and seemingly impossible manuvers.
However, because of his eccentric nature, his peers are often seen talking about him whispering rumors about his various exploits and methodologies. Some blame the Q, whereas others simply attribute his oddities to having spent too much time watching old films and footage.
Others simply claim that he never should've been a cadet in the first place, and often wonder how he passed the psychological examination. The councilor who did the examination could not be reached for comment.
There were rumors of his admission having to do with an extremely irate officer who was the victim of a prank. Witnesses claim they saw her running back to her room screaming bloody murder. Others claim there was clothing deposited onto the hull of the ship that was docked there for retro-fitting.
Recently due to an evaluation, Vice Admiral Sun was demoted to the rank of Commander and assigned to the USS Ten Forward-A for making a complete fool of several members of the Admiralty, calling them "over-glorified paper tigers and rear echelon mother f***ers" for wasting away in an office safe behind the lines whilst problems are arising in the Fleet.
Shrev made a painful recovery, but knew he could not allow grief and anger to consume him. Quick with his hands as well as his temper, he joined Starfleet with the ultimate goal of finding and rescuing his surviving bondmate, and avenging himself upon any Orion who crosses his path.
"Let your woes become your deadliest weapons." -- Andorian saying
Solek later withdrew from the Science Academy over the controversy regarding Vulcan's unsanctioned development of red matter technology. He was also troubled by evidence indicating that the entire Hobus tragedy could have been averted had the Vulcan Science Council chosen to act sooner. After undergoing and attaining the kolinahr discipline, Solek determined that joining Starfleet was the most logical course to follow in service to the needs of the many.
Amorea was the second host to be joined with Zox, in 2301. She served in the Federation Science Bureau and worked extensively with Dr. Gillian Taylor of the New Cetacean Institute. In 2310 Amorea Zox participated in an oceanographic survey of the planet Pacifica led by Taylor with the humpback whale Harpo, son of 20th-century transplants George and Gracie.
The symbiote was joined with its third, and current, host in 2393. An accomplished warp theorist, Derve experienced some initial difficulty integrating the memories of Zox's former hosts, but undertaking the zhian'tara rite brought reconciliation and a new direction. The symbiote's affinity for Yerel's adventures in the 23rd century led Derve Zox to join Starfleet, where he now serves with distinction in the Corps of Engineers.
Kr'Gret's father was an honored Imperial Marine HoH serving in the Qabjech Exploratory Fleet aboard the I.K.S. K'nel. The K'nel was listed as missing shortly before Kr'Gret's Rite of Ascension, provoking great uncertainty within the young warrior. Was Mog permitted to meet death with honor? Does he thus serve Kahless the Unforgettable in the Black Fleet of Sto-vo-kor? Or did he sail with Kortar the First on the Barge of the Dead to the fire and icy wastes of Gre'thor?
Kr'Gret joined the Klingon Defense Force and the ranks of the Grand Imperial Fleet with the personal mission of determining his father's fate while securing his own glory as a warrior of the Empire.
Qapla'!
Vice Admiral Erika
Born in 2380 The niece of the Federation explorer & borg expert Admiral Janeway. Erika Grew up learning the principles and ideals of the federation and at the age of 17 signed up to Starfleet and after a turbulent few years at the academy She decided upon grauating to take some leave and before taking an assignment.
Erika faced a terrible ordeal that stole 2 years of her life when she was assimilated by the borg when on a shuttle to Risa - she was liberated by Seven of Nine and her activist group.
After alot of help from friends and family she managed to regain what was taken from her and began to embrace the only things the borg gave her - Clarity of though and the belief that all things are possible, So when war broke out she took a starship assignment swearing to protect the Federation way of life at all costs.
Erika has a very easy going and friendly way about her but when her ship, crew or friends are in danger she is quick to put her life on the line to protect them and will use the most deadly of force to make sure she does just that.
Rachael Alderman Semmes is one of Starfleets newest captains, and arguably one of the more notorious members of their ranks. She claims to be descended from the infamous Confederate commander Raphael Semmes, though given her penchant for telling tall tales about her past, most regard that claim with a fair amount of skepticism. During her Academy years, she was infamous for pulling a variety of pranks on her classmates and even instructors; while usually harmless, they did land her in trouble from time to time. She was, and still is, also renowned for the number of lovers shes taken over the years, ranging across a variety of species and genders. Given her reputation, many of her peers were astonished when she was given command of the Albemarle, let alone a starship at all. But shes proven on more than one occasion that she is an instinctual and effective commander, and she enjoys the duties that command gives her. She and fellow captain Nicolai Kovac have been friends since their Academy days, and actually had a bet on who would obtain command of a starship first. Semmes won by two months and continues to teasingly remind him that he owes her a case of Romulan kali-fal.
Captain, U.S.S. Eidolon
Born outside of Federation space, Julian was the product of the inherent closeness between two people on a long-term, deep space exploration mission. His parents were members of the Federation studying gravtiational forces beyond the spiral arms of the Milky Way, which forced Julian to begin his life on a cramped Nova-class vessel.
The first three years of his life were psychologically difficult. Not only was Julian's presence a taboo as birth control methods were common on board the Hermes, but most of the boy's education and social interaction came from an emergency medical hologram with programming haphazardly altered to support the child.
Upon returning to Federation space, Julian was placed into a public schooling facility. While excelling in mathematics, the physical sciences, history, and oddly enough athletics, Julian suffered greatly from an inability to socialize. His stellar academics and a paper on the necessity of government intervention on morally ambiguous matters of state led to a recommendation to become joined. The date for Julian's acceptance to Starfleet coincided with his date to be joined with the Vorell symbiote, and so a special dispensation was issued to permit the process.
The Vorell symbiote had previously been engaged in battles against the Klingon and Romulan Empire, including recently the Borg. With a storied history in battle, the Vorell symbiote brought to Julian a knowledge of tactics that, coupled with his background in history and the sciences, may prove deadly as the two areas of his psyche collide. Allegations arose that the Symbiosis Committee was pressured by Starfleet to admit Julian based on the potential volatility of his personality, but such accusations are baseless and come from a disenfranchised portion of the Trill population.
The being known only as Hemingway is in reality a synthezoid - a synthetic organic being somewhat akin to an advanced alien android. Found in deep space aboard a derelict spaceship - preserved in stasis and created as an emergency service crewman for the long-dead race that it served - Hemingway was brought back to the Federation and studied.
Once its self-awareness and sentience had been established, however, it was determined that this synthezoid could determine its own destiny. Choosing its name from Terran literature, the seemingly tireless Hemingway (for Hemingway neither needs to eat, breathe, nor sleep as most of its cellular energy is supplied by its skin surface) applied for an entered Starfleet Academy to serve the goals of the United Federation of Planets.
Notations:
Commander Hemingway has no gender, nor has it any capability to reproduce - it is sexless in that regard (and finds mating rituals between species to be interesting - although Hemingway has been propositioned at times by species of both (or other) genders - usually when they have imbibed too much alcohol.)
As noted:: Hemingway does not need sleep, nor does it breathe, such acts as eating and taking in of water is normally only done as social etiquette. Hemingway's skin surface is a complex system of radiation collectors and converters to absorb radiation sources and turn them into power for its body. Thus Hemingway 'feeds' off of radiation sources including thermal, infrared, ultraviolet, and many others This has proven useful as Hemingway can enter a highly radioactive area of the ship (a damaged warp or impulse engine room, for example) with no ill effects. Its ability to eat humanoid food is merely another processor system for additional power (and to not make dinner guests nervous)
Because of its nature, Hemingway is immune to the effects of poisons, drugs, and alcohol. Hemingway does not feel pain - at least not in the way a human (for example) does. The equivalent to pain for Hemingway is an alert that it is either under attack, or a notification that some body part is damaged and requires repair.

Doctor TKara is one of Starfleets best medical minds and most gifted surgeons, though many of her patients often complain about her lack of bedside manners. Her personality is best described as stoic and she appears to be as devoted to logic as the average Vulcan. But no Vulcan is totally without emotion; they are just more practiced at hiding them and TKara is no exception. Her seemingly icy demeanor and personality hide a compassionate individual whose only real ambition in life was to help others, thus her decision to become a physician. Those who have worked with her and gotten to know her have admitted that her devotion to Vulcan philosophy makes her hard to know, but once one learns how to read her *very* subtle emotional changes, she makes as good a commander and friend as any more emotional character. TKaras years of service have earned her the command of the medical ship Godspeed and is currently assigned to the relief efforts to the Romulan Empire after the destruction of their capital planet. It was an assignment that she requested, despite or perhaps because of - the current hostilities between the Romulans and their Vulcan cousins.
