Joining Up

Created by Captain Mallory Thorne on 19 Jan 2020 @ 3:30pm

The USS Odin is the only Starfleet vessel in existence in our new timeline, so how do we get new crew? The sim wants new writers, but how do we get their characters aboard now we don't have the normal "assigned to" option?

I'm glad you asked! We've got you covered with the following options...

1) You Were Already Here

This one is both the simplest and the most complex. You'll need to read up on the previous missions to have an idea of what happened, but the captain will keep a running record of these things for those who choose this option.

2) You are a Member of the Terran Union or Alliance of Worlds

In this scenario, you are a member of one of the main units of the area the Odin "fell" into. You are most likely going to have to be human, Andorian, or Klingon, though other races have some leeway. You can't be Vulcan, Romulan, or Bajoran, however. If you choose this option, your character either volunteered or was assigned by the Union/Alliance to help "keep an eye" on the Odin while it's in our space.

3) You are a Member of a Different Native Group

So far, this is a pretty open book. Aside from the Union and Alliance, we have yet to write out most other aligned groups, except for the Seelie Coalition. If you want a shapeshifter character, those are your folks. This has a lot of freedom but requires a lot of self-direction to work in tandem with Odin Command to create the group your character comes from and why they become a member of the ship.
