Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

Hey hey, Everyone!

All of our December applicants are in the process of being ... well, processed! Thank you all for your patience, as you know it's been a busy month. We'd like to take a moment to roll out the welcome mat, get to know all our new players and muses, and give you all a very warm hello! We're really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

To get you newbies started, your mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so you will see some helpful links below. This space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are. Oh myyyy~!

OOC contact and information: Now that you're here, you can hit up our OOC Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is optional. You can leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. All of the mod contact info you may need is right over here, so don't be shy about poking us if you need anything!

Game updates: We strongly recommend you join, follow, and/or track our OOC Community [community profile] ten_fwd_ooc. It's the best way to stay up to date with the game and any announcements from your mod team as soon as they happen.

Getting started: You can intro your character as soon as you have your game clearance. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but you can also tag into someone else's post or enter your character anywhere that isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know!
Quarantine, Sickbay, and Rooming: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only, until they've passed a basic medical check and had some vaccinations. Due to the holidays, our next Sickbay log is TBA. After their Sickbay visits, characters will be released from quarantine, assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. All new characters are assigned a room and a roommate by random draw. There will be an OOC post about room assignments this weekend, once all pending apps are completed, where we will announce when the IC Roommate Mixer-slash-Holiday Party will go up. This will include a linked IC tour and introduction to the ship.

--> More questions on WHERE TO BEGIN? Head over here!
--> Need more BASIC INFO about life on board and in the Star Trek universe? Head over here!

Plotting and CR: December's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Tag around other people's requests, and make some new connections! Plotting/CR Memes typically go up the last Monday of every month, as do announcements for next month's plots/events and a log swap meet.

Mod Announcements: You can follow mod announcements using the admin: mod post tag here in the OOC comm. Our last announcement can be located here, have a look at your earliest convenience! Please note: AC will run January 10th - 23rd, but all December apps will be exempt until the next AC period.


Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment on this post. You can also friend our game plurk, [plurk.com profile] ten_fwd. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!

Hello hello!

I'm Khajidu and I'm bringing here a Jem'Hadar from Starfleet! Olan'atar is a Star Trek OC and he's the first Jem'Hadar in Starfleet. He serves as a Lieutenant in security on his ship and, by Odo, he knows his history! He'll recognize quite a few crewmembers here!

Anyway, this is not my first game! I played another OC in a sci-fi game (but it didn't work out) and Odo in another (but the game closed after a few months). This is my first Star Trek game, though!

Looking forward to playing here!

Hi Khajidu! I'm Morgan with 3 ladies hopping around at the moment. Since I posted a whole comment for Kristen (Gotham) I'll post for the other 2.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.


All 3 are fair plotting game!

Welcome, Khajidu!

I am so beyond excited to have a Jem'Hadar in the game, you don't even know. Your app was a delight to read and I can't wait to get playing with you for real (HI I'M THE GEORDI THAT TAGGED YOU sorry for the long delay, I keep having to deal with non-happy-funtimes-things, you know how it is ;~;).

Please feel free to steal any/all of mine for plotting or friend me on whatever social media you prefer. my deets! I'd love to talk Jem'Hadar in 2368 and what that will mean for your boy. /chinhands

We're so spoiled, we get such great OCs in this game :D.

Jem'Hadar Starfleet, that should be rather interesting.

I'm Yubsie and I play Ishka here along with Yoda from some other obscure sci fi series that I'm sure absolutely no one has heard of these days.

Welcome to Ten Forward! I'm Phaerie and I play Trip from Star Trek: Enterprise and Cat from Red Dwarf.

Olan'atar sounds really interesting - I'm looking forward to seeing him in the game.
