Character Creation Changes

Posted on 17 Nov 2021 @ 5:16pm by Commander Scarlet Blake

Hello Everyone,

The GMs have recently been discussing our manifest composition, specifically the prevalence of hybrid race and custom species characters. It's been a long-standing tradition on our game that we allow for the creation of unique non-canon species as well as hybrid characters. We want to preserve this.

Currently we have ten hybrid/custom species characters on the manifest out of a total of 43 characters. This diversity is good and we love the creativity we have on show, but we also want to strike a balance with canon species. It's important to maintain the authentic Star Trek feel of our ship by having recognizable races. Otherwise we dilute the purity of the game.

The following character creation rule amendments have been approved by all three GMs and will be posted to the wiki shortly:

1) Only one hybrid race or custom species character per player
2) Any hybrid race or custom species character must be a PC

The rest of the regular character creation rules will still apply. This should allow new players to get a fair chance at playing whatever character they want but help prevent custom species/hybrid characters from overwhelming the manifest.

There will be a grandfather clause so any player who currently has a custom/hybrid character won't be forced to delete or redo existing characters.

Any questions/concerns, let us know.
Katy
