Ensign Eruki Shiae

[ErukiShiae]

Name: Eruki Shiae
Current Rank: (Ensign - SL Starfleet, Ensign - SFCSLQ) Ensign
Speciea: Catian (that cat species)
Age: 27

Bio:
--------------------------------------

    Eruki was born on Catian Homeworld in 2772, and on his journey to become a Cadet at Starfleet Academy at the age of 20, his lone possession, a shuttle was sucked into a temporal vortex, and he was sent back to the 24th Century (Approx Date: 2374).
    He was picked up by the USS Contour on a reconassince mission after they heard his distress call. His shuttle unfortunately was destroyed by the vortex, so he was found in a rapidly deteriorating escape pod (27th century catian stuff deteriorates after time travel).
    He spent 3 years in Rehabilitation, getting up to speed with all the stuff that hasnt happened yet that he learnt about. He then joined the academy, and showed a great aptitude for leading (possibly because of his good looks and sharp claws) and planning (he already knew how some things would turn out which gave him an advantage).
    Being a catian, he didnt get on very well with his fellow cadets at first, but after 4 years in the academy, he was friends with most of his year.

    In 2381, after graduating from the academy, he was assigned to the newly Combat Enhanced Cruiser, the USS Deliverance. He was assigned to Tactical, because of his aptitude in planning and the fact that his claws could work a computer panel much faster than a humans stubby fingers, which gave him the ability to do more things in less time compared to a human, klingon, vulcan or romulan.

     Unlike SLQ, we don't have out-of-character ranks in this group.   Each of your characters have a rank, and that is based on their position their in-character history and service record.   So beginning players can play just about any rank, though we usually reserve the Captain roles for people who have proven they understand how our style of roleplay is different from SFCSLQ or most any other groups.   Weare more serious about working together to create a good story.  If you haven't roleplayed this way before it can be daunting at first, but it's what we find most rewarding and enjoyable once you are past the learning curve.

    Although this is definately an interesting concept, there are a lot of problems with being from the 27th Century.  Most importantly being that on one knows what the future will be like then.   That's a lot of power to be able to say "oh yeah, I remeber how this went", I'd be hessitant to give that to an NPC.  It would lake a a whole lot to convince me to let a PC have that kind of power over the story, at that point you'd be a de facto story narrorator anyway.

     If he was picked up by Starfleet, Temporal Insetigations would be called and he'd almost certainly be transported back to his native time as soon as possible.

   Why?

showed a great aptitude for leading (possibly because of his good looks and sharp claws)

     Most of your classmates will probably have claws just as sharp, some sharper.  Starfllet also would look poorly on a leader who lead by intimidation.

  Being a catian, he didnt get on very well with his fellow cadets at first, but after 4 years in the academy, he was friends with most of his year.

    What about being Caitain prevented him from getting along with his fellow cadets?  Are you implying racism against a species that has been an active memeber of the Federation for over 200 years?  A species that has poudly been serving with Starfleet the whole time.  Lt M'ress didn't seem to have any problem being accepted as a Caitian on Kirk's Enterprise.



   

    In 2381, after graduating from the academy, he was assigned to the newly Combat Enhanced Cruiser, the USS Deliverance.

    The USS Deliverance is not what I'd call a "Combat Enhanced Cruiser" and it is entirely unnewly.  It's an Old Excellsior class (the ship scotty sabotaged in Star Trek III, that served a full life then retired.  Anything that could be reused was stripped out and the ship was depresurized and left along with dozens of other old ships hat weren't fanous enough to be turned into museumsin a starship graveyard out of they way of normal traffic.  Then as during the height of the war Starfleet was losing ships faster than it could build them, so the started pulling up these old hulls and replacing the systems they took out and updatig what they had to to get everything working.  They didn't have time to rebuilt the warp drives on these ships, so they just don't have the power for a lot of the lastest and greatest weapons doodads.

Alrightey then, lets see if i can make this thing better...

Name: Eruki Shiae
Current Rank: Lt. (changed cause i dont like being an ensign)
Species: Tiger
Age: 27

Bio:
--------------------------------------

   Lieutenant Eruki Shiae was born on the Catian Homeworld in 2772. He went to starfleet academy at the age of 18 and graduated at the age of 22, and served aboard the USS Hailentino, a furry only ship. He was one of their tactical officers. He served there until he was promoted to full Lt. just before his 24th birthday, and he took some shoreleave to see his family for his 24th birthday. On his journey back to starfleet command after his shore leave, he was sucked into a temporal vortex, and he was sent back to the 24th Century (Approx Date: 2374).
    He was picked up by the USS Contour on a reconassince mission after they heard his distress call. His shuttle unfortunately was destroyed by the vortex, so he was found in a rapidly deteriorating escape pod wearing nothing besides his nametag. (27th century catian stuff deteriorates after time travel  <--- made this so no advanced technology gets through). The name tag he wears around his neck surprisingly didnt deteriorate, possibly because it was already from the 24th century (it was Eruki's Great Great Grandfathers nametag)  Unfortunately, he had lost his memory, and had to start re-learning everything all over again. The CMO of the Contour proclaimed that his memory was unable to be recovered, and he would never re-learn it. Like most amnesia patients of the 24th century, he re-learnt his basic skills (eating, talking, walking, etc) very easily, and within a week was fully functional again.
    After spending a year in Rehab (Starfleet didnt have the resources to send him back to the 27th Century, but they promised to give him the option of going back as soon as they had the resources) and then went and attended starfleet academy. He passed the whole course in 2 years, because he grasped the concept of it all very easily, and he showed a great proficiency with hand weapons and starship weapons.
    He graduated at the age of 27, and went and served on the USS Deliverance, an Excelsior class, Lakota Refit starship, although this ship was a refit from its "shell" which was obtained from Starfleets "Starship Graveyard". After serving there for 6 months, he was promoted to Lt(JG) and became the ships Tactical XO.
    After the battle of Trill (a battle in which starfleet defended the trill homeworld from the dominion <--- made this up) the Chief Tactical Officer was killed, and Lt.(JG) Eruki Shiae was promoted to full Lt. and became the USS Deliverance's new Cheif Tactical Officer.

(i selected Lt as my rank because i figured that Cheif Tactical Officer should be at minimum a Lt. as with before, feel free to promote me )

(I fixed the problem with me being from the future with me having permanent memory loss. Hope this is sufficient)

(Hopefully my excuse for not being sent back to the 27th century is good enough)

(Catian stuff deteriorates after time travel. I made this bit up so that i didnt have to have something happen to my shuttle)

    I'm just wondering why being from the future is important to your character  concept.  It makes a lot of strange things necessary... Disintegrating posessions, amnesia...  For what?     I'll discuss this with the other Game Masters/Storytellers/Narrators/whatever we call ourselves and see if we can come up with some ways for this to work without straining credibility too much.  It is a really interesting idea for a character, I would like to see if we can help without setting a bad precident.

and served aboard the USS Hailentino, a furry only ship.

     It's a furry only universe, so all ships are Furry only.  Okay, well we do support some truly alien species like Hortas and Tholians and such, but there are no hyoomins.  Terrans are Furries too, in fact they can be any non-extinct terran species.   Nothing wrong with saying it.  It's just redundant. 

(The notecard in SL says the Deliverance is a Combat Enhanced Cruiser)

     Okay, I'll check on that... It may be it's official designation... But I didn't want you to think that the Deliverance is a hightech super battleship. 

[ErukiShiae]

Okay, cool. If u dont wanna post here, u can send me an IM ingame (Sam Christiansen)

Disintegrating possessions is so that no 27th Century tech comes into the hands of anyone before the 27th century (basically timetravel makes it disintegrate)

Amnesia is so i dont know anything about the 27th century, which i thought would fix up what you said

 " Although this is definately an interesting concept, there are a lot of problems with being from the 27th Century.  Most importantly being that on one knows what the future will be like then.   That's a lot of power to be able to say "oh yeah, I remeber how this went", I'd be hessitant to give that to an NPC.  It would lake a a whole lot to convince me to let a PC have that kind of power over the story, at that point you'd be a de facto story narrorator anyway."

Yes, it's been upgunned a litle (Photon tubes taken out and fitted with Quantums). It's also eighty years old, run on a skeleton crew and the upgunning's causing power failures all over the shop. It's like fitting a modern rifled 155mm anti-tank cannon on a Mark Five (lozenge-shaped World War One thing). Yes, it shoots harder, but it's still shit.

LOL! I know that, and i dont think an 80yo ship is a battleship.

[Doomsponge]

It's still the seventh largest class of vessel in the fleet (only the Ambassador, Galaxy, Nebula, Concorde, Sovereign and Excalibur classes are bigger). Official current designation is 'Multi-role Heavy Cruiser (Uprated, Anti-Cloak)'. Intriguingly, the Heavy Cruiser is larger in size than Stafleet's two Battlecruiser types (Akira- Front-line Ballistic Cruiser, and Prometheus- MVAM Assault cruiser).

[ErukiShiae]

oh. Cool. Whats the concorde class though?

[zan Aspera]

   Actually, we are talking about this.  We are very excited about this concept for your character.    You're pretty much good to go once the bio is cleaned up a bit.   Actually, we'd like to run some of these background scenes with you to give your character a good start to work with.  We'll work with you to find a time were we can get together.  After the scenes we'll update the bio with what happened and you will be our new CTO.  Congratulations.
