BOff Roster composition

One of the commenters on my previous thread @aliensamongus shared his BOff makeup. That of the entire Star Trek: The Next Generation crew, lol. That got me interested in what other peoples' rosters are composed of and what backstory/theme they follow.
Mine is the Class of 2409. Even if and when I get unique BOffs from missions, reputation, or special events. I leave them in the Bridge Officer Candidates Roster, cause they can't replace my character's classmates.
What's yours?

The first Belfast was commanded by Captain Ve'Kal Shon until its destruction in 2409. A new ship was commissioned bearing the same name and registry as special dispensation to then newly promoted Captain Edward XIII for his pivotal role during the renewed Dominion War.

Thank you for pointing it out early on. Gotta change my original post to reflect not asking for BOff Bios. Otherwise mini novels will be posted on here, lol.

No theme for my KDF or RRF characters... they both use (purple replacements of) the default storyline BOffs, whose bios match their in-game backstories.
My RSE guy (KDF allied Rom) is very much "Rome in Space". Gaius Yulius Kesar (Gaius Julius Caesar) is an imperial loyalist, military commander, and politician who proclaimed himself Praetor (acting in the Empress' name, of course) after the death of Hakeev and disappearance of Sela. His crew includes: Tovan Khev (cousin to the RRF traitor of the same name), Doctor Sekunda (Satra), the Reman engineer Verilica (Veril), Centurion Quartus (Hiven), and Centurion Quintus (D'Vex), as well as a few Romulan Uhlans of various Romanesque names, Reman Guards, and Kesar's personal "Praetorian Guard" security officer.
I probably should of used Alien template on Picard for more accuracy, but still feel it's decent.
Basic premise of what I had before. One of my KDF characters is Orion, and as I leveled him up I added more Orion Bridge Officers (eventually replacing them with purple quality) and made them various members of his family. The first two were his younger sister's. I'll post their combined bio's in the proper thread. I still have non-Orion Bridge Officers, as they don't believe in being exclusive. I have their family as believing in equality of the various beings in the galaxy.
Captain's bios would be more appropriate since you said that his bio is extended to other BOffs. This thread is purely for BOff roster composition and what is the backstory or theme behind it.

I saved the look from all my characters and made my Main toon's boffs them. So he has all my other characters working for him. This sort of makes it feel like he is the center of attention and its pretty cool to get to see multiple of my characters (in theory) in the same away team. He also has a core of his original boffs from leveling up that i see as somewhere between boffs and doffs. They go on the less interesting away missions with him.
My other toon with a theme is my original character who used to be my Main before i decided to switch careers. I broke them into groups of 4-5 depending on their role so each group is a full away team complete with their own uniform/weapon style and i gave them all Roman military titles. First he's got a core of his original boffs. The ones i first leveled up back in 2010. I call them 'Princeps XYZ'. They go on most away missions. Then theres the 'Optio XYZ' who had originally filled out his roster but kinda get left to the side now. Then i gathered up more unique boffs and made them 'Scholae XYZ' characters in MACO armor. They are my heaviest hitting boffs and go in for the big fights. Finally the Intel boffs you got from the Delta Operations Pack are 'Exploratio XYZ' He's maxed out in Intel specialization so they work as his 'undercover' away team when i feel more like tiptoeing around then shooting the place up. Its all really quite cool, if abit confusing!
Most my other characters all have matching uniforms with their boffs but nothing really unqiue like these two.

Now that's quite the a military approach to it, lol. And making BOff version of your non-main characters on your main character is a cool idea.

My science alt has a mostly Saurian crew.
Other than that, I have a couple of BOFFs on my main that have been with him since day 1 and are part of the backstory. But no real theme.
Using the BOffs that have been with you from the start is a theme, Friendship ;P

I've got at least one of each of the three factions that use versions of the original levelling Boffs (as in the same name and my original edited appearances copied to improved grades of Boff as they become available) as the main crew. Rest of my crews are as close to "faction-correct" as possible. No full SRO Romulan crews outside of Romulan ships etc, no none-faction personnel where it's not thematically appropriate e.g. my two Orion crews have several mercenary/criminal types in tow courtesy of the doff diplomacy rankings and such, both my Reman ships have all-Reman crews but are stuck with a RRF liaison officer (GET OFF MY SHIP TOVAN !!!!).
Other than that, I've a handful of old "decommissioned" player characters reborn as Boffs here and there. Mostly because I've gotten good results from the character creator for those ones, sometimes because it'd fit the profile I had in mind for them.
Always a pleasure to meet someone who follows the canon
