Do your starship captains have any... "addictions"?

edited October 2012 in Ten Forward
We all know that the various captains featured in the Star Trek shows have their... um... preferences as far as comfort items go (did I say that right?). Janeway was addicted to coffee, Picard had his Earl Grey Tea, James T. Kirk loved women...

But what about your captain's wants and desires?

USS Kusanagi: Finn Gel Hawkins. When on his off time he enjoys a bottle of Sake (he's part Japanese in ancestry).

USS Claymore 300-M: Ranne Ardnt. This woman enjoys two things too much... Tranya... and tinkering with her starshp rather than commanding it (resulting in some rather spectacular accidents... such as when she managed to accidentally fry her ship's impulse engines without making them explode):eek:
*sings* "I like Gammera! He's so neat!!! He is full of turtle meat!!!"

"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*

    Admiral Penkku has an addiction to secrecy. I can't say anything more about it.

    Captain Carmelita P. Miggs has an.... interesting relationship with alcohol. While not an alcoholic by any means, her love of drink has resulted in more than a few embarrassing situations, up to and including flying into battle without impulse engines. :P

    Captain De'Laih is rather fond of her Raghtajino. Its not wise to confront her before she has had a mug or three.

    Captain Hexadecimal is rather vain for a liberated Borg and is useless without her vein treatments to keep them dark and her skin pallid.

    Sskald, Gorn Captain, has a biological preference for heat and his ship is often described s "like a sauna."

    Turandot the Orion has some interesting habits but they are not suitable for polite public discussion.
    Also known as Gingie(In game) Sskald(Gates of Sto-vo-kor)

    I take it she's also flown into battle without weapons and bridge officers? :)

    Amuro is addicted to mecha anime, alongside whisky and rum. He also has a habit of using an airlock as a makeshift cannon. Haven't identified what gets used as ammo yet

    Commander Moira Elayne Stern, native of Cardiff, Wales, has several 'finer things' in life she prefers:

    - A good stout beer. None of that Ferengi swill, that's only fit for Cardies and gingers. Conversely, she also enjoys a good rotgut distilled product, and has figured out how to make a warp coil do unnatural things to the distillation process.
    - Classical music from the late Twentieth/early 21st century period. Rush, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, Bob Seger, the Rolling Stones, et al. "Ye kin keep tha' posh bollocks in yer own music library, Ensign. Battlestations!" *Ship's t'annoy starts playing "Immigrant Song"*
    - Being a compulsive tinkerer, it is very important to never let this captain get bored. If she does, no replicator onboard is safe...

    Every starsihip captain has this (whether they publickly acknowledge it or not). How else do they get to sit in the captain's chair and be in command of so many people?

    Voporak is addicted to playing with his gambling device and petting his fleet tribble. My friend Twelve is addicted and obsessed with making a warp core in a box.

    I think it goes without saying that all of our captains are addicted to micromanaging. :P

    My Captain doesn't really have any addictions, though he does have a fondness for plants, having grown up on a farm. He also can't eat any heavy fatty or greasy foods, as his species has a very high metabolism and extremely thin veins, so if he eats something very fatty, his arteries will clog in a matter of minutes. So you could say he's addicted to healthy eating.



    My Andorian chief engineer has a drinking problem. Agressive unless he's settled with some beer. Oddly enough, he somehow manages to keep the ship online alot more than he should.


    My Ops officer is addicted to collecting Tribbles.


    And my ex-Maquis member, my Jem'Hadar officer and my Breen refugee are all addicted to winding each other up and outright brawling.

    Jumping from the third floor of Quark's onto the Dabo table. Also entirely too interested in Romulan Ale. Not that he can ever find any. Am I right? Lol.

    Fortunately, Xui Li is Chinese. Not a drop of Klingon blood in her. She has recently aquired a cannibal tribble. No one seems to know where it came from, or how it got aboard. Xui Li isn't sure either (so she claims), but she sure aint getting rid of it. I've reported this to the Councillor, who has arranged a session.

    Classy!!! :D:D:D

    Addictions? No... Eccentricities, Yes.

    - Marcus Kane keeps the environmental controls in his quarters set to the climate on Vulcan, where he spent the latter part of his childhood.
    - He shared a bed with his twin sister until he left home to attend the Academy and continued to do so, while on leave, until her death in 2363.
    - While at the Academy, he developed a taste for Starfleet emergency ration bars, and would eat those over other meal options.
    - As an Immortal Human, he is able to consume foods and beverages which would poison baseline Humans, and thus has acquired a very broad palate over the years since his immortal resurrection. His years as an intelligence operative have enabled him to maintain contacts who provide him with constant stocks of Romulan Ale, which he drinks frequently (he cannot be classed as an alcoholic, as he does not 'need' alcohol, either physiologically or psychologically, and the effects of even the most potent alcohol are only momentary, he simply 'likes the taste')

    As all members of his race, Ivan has some degree of psychological problem. He has Chronic Depression, and sometimes disappear for hours in the Holodeck, only getting out when he's back on the mood. In one case, after losing his old Security Officer during the Facility 4028 event, he locked himself for 4 days. apart from that he's a very easygoing and fun person to be around.

    His current Ops officer, Amanda, is a Liberated borg, and is fascinated with the idea of creating a federation-approved borg cube.

    Kurso'ek, the Gem'hadar Security officer has dropped Ketracel, and is now living in a Zen lifestyle, and has become "addicted" to Green Tea.

    Captain Jack Taylor has an addiction to collecting souveniers from all the planets he visits. The ladies of his bridge crew apparently are addicted to clothing as they are always changing outfits.
