Hi there,
I am curious to see new characters people have now after the release of the Romulan fraction.
Do you still have your old FED or KDF characters or have gone totally ROM?
I thought it would be interesting to see what characters you have. So I started this topic where you can share your characters, with images if you like.
What alliance do they have
Do they have a background story?
What species are they?
What career have you picked for them?
Do you have same character for all career/fraction?
Etc?

It annoys me when people call them a fraction. Sure, for the purposes of the game, the Romulans are part of the Federation or Klingons post ally choice, but in terms of the game play, they are their own faction. Allied players can't join with Romulans to complete their stories (I'm pretty sure that they can't before the Romulan Feature series), so I feel that they are a true faction. But enough of my rant.
To go on topic, I still have all my characters. I have 4 federation characters and 1 Klingon, along with my Romulan character. Out of the 4 federation characters, only one has an implicit back story.
Here's a list of my older characters, their species and their careers:
- Jack Linwood, Human, Tactical Officer
- Faize Shifah Beleth, Alien, Engineer
- Andrew Toren, Betazoid, Science Officer
- P'ejah, Caitian, Engineer
- Kurtok, Klingon, KDF, Tactical Officer
Caitian Tactical officer named Kovu.
Caitian Science officer named M'Sarabi.
Ferasan Science officer named I'Zira.
Reman Tactical offier named Kivuli Kaimu.
Fed Eng - (Custom Alien) Miraz
Fed Sci - (Vulcan) Mir
KDF Tact - (Orion) Gershon
All before LOR
After LOR
Rom(FED) tact - (Romulan) High'tee
No cool story to share, sure they all have one, but the relevance would be lost on others because they are my characters' stories
Oh they all have a ship named Sputnik
Lieutenant General Gessa G'ian the Succuba, a Department Chief (Department of Military Intelligence) in LGBT of the KDF 1st Fleet, an Orion. Her bio says she is Melani D'ian's cousin (and that "G'ian" is a dialectical variant of "D'ian") and the Matriarch of the Ninth Tribe of Orions.
Vice Admiral Gessatra ir'Virinat t'Prell, the Fleet Admiral of the Tal Diann (Romulan Military Intelligence), a Romulan.
G'dessa and Gessa were made well before LoR (the Vulcan was made almost a year ago; ignore the "Join Date" displayed in the fora, because it's WRONG). Gessatra is allied with the Orion Syndicate (sometimes still called "the Klingon Empire"). All three of my toons are Science officers.
The bios of G'dessa t'Prell and Gessa G'ian the Succuba refer to one another, but do not mention Gessatra ir'Virinat t'Prell, nor does hers mention either of them. The bios of G'dessa and Gessa claim that one or the other of them (and leave the question unanswered) is the other in disguise acting as a spy. All three toons currently have as their title one of the following: Operative, Agent, Spy. The similarity in name (to say nothing of the fact that all three toons look identical by design, apart from the greenness of Gessa and the normal Caucasian-ish skin tone of G'dessa and Gessatra, with Gessatra also having several different hairdos) between G'dessa T'Prell and Gessatra t'Prell ought to suggest something about a connection as well, but the head of Romulan Military Intelligence is rather obviously a spy and need not utter any explicit hints about what ops she may or may not be running.
At one time, my forum signature here read:
Orion Spy, Tribal Matriarch, and cousin of Melani D'ian?
Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann for the New Romulan Republic?
Vulcan, Orion, Romulan -- whoever I really am, green is involved. Be content with that much truth.
So which one is real, and which two are disguises? The galaxy may never know.
Edit: Gessatra also has one costume slot in which she has a rather obvious contemporary Romulan forehead detail (it's one of her disguises for infiltrating the Tal'Shiar), whereas all her other costume slots have the TOS Romulan forehead (TOS Romulans had no sort of protruding V-shaped ridges on ther foreheads). If she has altered her appearance for one infiltration, the possibility that she has altered her appearance for other operations is far from unlikely. But again, is she the actual identity, or is she a disguise? Does even she know?
so I went back to my main with all the rep done (minus the new rep which is now done)
and a proper science vessel woo go go vesta with 130 aux unbuffed...
Pre LoR I had two characters, a FED Engineer and a KDF Tactical. Once LoR was released, I created a Republic character, leveled him all the way to #50 too.
At the moment, I have six characters; two of each faction, one TAC and one ENG per faction. My FED characters are levels #50 & #45, my KDF characters are (I think) #47 & #36) and my two Republic characters are #17 & #19 (if I remember rightly).
As it stands, I can't get in to playing as the Republic. My focus is actually on my FED and KDF characters. My Republic characters are of less importance to me. I feared this would be the case (for me) when I first heard they were being implemented as a mini faction rather than independent. I had hoped this wouldn't bother me so much, but it has, and I don't play them much because of it.
Unlike the FED & KDF (of which I've made purchases for), I have never purchased anything (C-Store based) for the Republic.
n/a All of my characters (and bridge officers) have bios, though most of them are currently stored on a word document. I haven't got around to filling in all the details yet. FEDs: Andorian (ENG) & Saurian (TAC); KDF: Klingon (ENG) & Ferasan (TAC); Republic: Romulan (ENG) & Reman (TAC). See Above. No, I have Tactical & Engineers only at this moment in time.
FED :
Betazoid, tac (1rst char)
Custom alien (hybrid Romulan/Human), engineer
Custom alien (hybrid Romulan/Human), sci
My 2 rom hybrid are supposed to be fraternal twin, the engineer look more like a romulan, while the sci look more like a human.
KDF :
Custom alien (hybrid Human/Klingon, used to be an alien, but the dialogues are so much Klingon oriented I grew tired of saying Qapla), engineer
Romulan (fed) :
Romulan, tac
All of them have a story, and their BOFFs to. It's all in my head however. And no, none of them knew Picard, Kirk, or is related to Riker.
I wish to make a sci and an engineer on the rom side, but honestly, it such a grind when they are 50 it's not funny. Especially when you've done it before. Several time.
My Ship Builds: USS Conqueror, HMS Victorious, HMS Concord, ISS Queen Elizabeth, Black Widow III

Wont be long until I just delete them...
Liz Archer - (Human) Science FED level 50.
Kiera - (Alien) Engineering KDF level 50.
Mornag - (Ferengi) Engineering FED level 15
I had a Romulan Science called Kree.. but then I deleted her after being her to 50.
Now I a trying to decide what to do next. Make two new ones, male and female.
My problem is knowing what class I should make. Bring up a character takes a lot of effort with the reputation system... highly expensive and takes time.
The LOR missions are great .. but then you have to decide FED or KDF:... and suddenly I am in trouble again.
I am thinking maybe I should do a "version" of my Main Science but then I would have to pick alien..but alien species does not have the new nice hair options for females. Or should I make my main as roumlan with the pointy ears and all?? -- Its really difficult I cant decide.
I want a character I can relate to.. care for. I have deleted characters before..
Neither am I on STO.. but I still want a background for them. I used to RP a lot on forum or via mail. So my characters are actually based on the characters I made then.
my KDF and FED toons are now "sleepers", but i am planning on caring for my KDF PVP focused sci in a B'Rel later in fall and winter months..
Allied faction members can't accept the missions, but they can team up with Romulan players and help out. This is how many in my fleet got through the last Elachi mission when LOR first came out: When Captains in D'deridexes and Ha'fehs were backed up by Tor'khats and Fleet Defiants.
But onto OP's question:
I could never dump my KDF or Fed mains - I've invested too much time, money, and energy into making them top characters. All those doffs (and doff slots) are a significant investment...I just wouldn't throw them away!
As of today, three of my five toons have had their stories told (to some extent) in the "Literary Challenge" threads in the Ten Forward forum, so there's that.
So far, I've done three Feds, one KDF, and one Romulan... I don't play the KDF one much (it just doesn't appeal to me, I'm afraid), but the other four are all level 50 end-game characters.
Tylha Shohl (Andorian engy) is the one with most of my stuff, and is still my main toon. T'laihhae (Rom engy) is the next most often used, with T'Pia (Vulcan sci) and Veronika "Ronnie" Grau (Lib-Borg tac) some way behind both of them. And if you ever check out those lit-challenge threads, you will probably learn far more than you ever wanted to know about Tylha, while T'laihhae has appeared several times, I put Ronnie's complicated origin story up just a few hours ago, and even T'Pia has poked her nose in, one time.
I like telling stories... and you have to have characters to tell stories about... so, those are mine.
What alliance do they have
Um, Fed and Klink
Do they have a backround story?
Yes, but I'm not telling.
What species are they?
An aliemb species I made up all by myselfs. They're an unknown species with very unusual biology, although they are obviously the product of some Tal Shiar secret 'speriments. (See, I was working an intriguing Rom plotline beginning in open beta. Far more interesting than anything Cryptic came up with.)
What career have you picked for them?
One Fed Eng, one Fed Tac, one Klink Eng
Do you have same character for all career/fraction?
They can't be the same character, on account of they are different characters.
Etc?
