Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

Cadet Ayna Nyx

---

Name:

Ayna Renae "Ren" Nyx.

Age:

Twenty-Three (Earth) Years Old.

Species:

Human.

Academy Major:

Tactical. Specializing in starship/space encounter tactics.

Appearance:

Ayna is a young African-American/Caucasian biracial woman born from Earth. Her height is about 5'11" and her weight is about 140 lbs. She has an athletic body build from training at the Starfleet Academy, and has a six pack in her stomach area. She is skinny and her hair is a very dark brown to the point where it could easily be mistaken for a black color. Ayna's eye color is a brown as well, and her skin color is somewhat a light brown.

Bio:

Ayna always loved the idea of becoming a Starfleet officer. Exploring galaxies, uncovering unknown planets, and the best of the all, the universe itself always appealed to her. She knew she wanted to become a Starfleet officer as soon as she was born, because her father was an Starfleet captain himself. Her father, Terrence Nyx, was the captain of an Sovereign class, Imperial sub-class, known as the U.S.S. Paragon-B.

Ayna's father met his wife, Joanna Rane, when he was in Starfleet Academy. She was just a normal woman, but and they both had different tastes, she wasn't interested in the idea of space exploration, meanwhile Ayna's father loved the idea of discovery. Somehow they were still attracted to each other, and got married before Terrence went off to become a first officer aboard the U.S.S. Trailblazer, and a few months later once Terrence was able to come home, they both knew they wanted children.

And that's how Ayna, and her younger brother, Nathan was born. Just like their parents, Ayna and Nathan had different ideas of what they wanted in life. Ayna felt the need to explore just like her father, and Nathan had just wanted a normal life on Earth. Unlike most siblings when they interact, Ayna and Nathan got along pretty easily. They loved to wrestle, but since Ayna was bigger, she'd always win the play-fight. Her father was soon promoted to Captain of the U.S.S. Paragon, NX-96889-B. The Paragon, hence the NX, was a experimental prototype ship for the Paragon class. It was suppose to be the next advanced starship Starfleet, made to multi-task deep exploration, advanced tactical abilities, and the abilities of a science vessel all at once.

Ayna realized right then and there, when she learned her father was a captain of a ship. That she was going to be serious about her dream, to become an Starfleet officer.

And that's when she soon applied for Starfleet Academy after high school, and worked as hard as she could. Learning many things from her father and the adventures he would tell her about, this helped her learn more and ace tests better than she thought, she soon realized she specialized in being a Tactical Starfleet officer, unlike her father, who was originally a Science officer before he became a Captain.

Ayna did decently in ground Holodeck battle encounters, but she was way in better in starship tactics. When she was the 'captain' in starship battle encounter simulations, she would take out the opposing forces, and the times where her ship was going down, she managed to take the enemy down with her. She learned about this in one simulation where three Bird of Preys attacked her in the Holodeck.

Her father approved of her looking forward to becoming a Starfleet officer, but her mother despised the idea of it. Not wanting that type of life of her, this caused Ayna to become a little bit rebellious against her mother and what she wanted for her.

And soon enough, her father gave her the idea of applying for A.T.T., thinking that she was up for it. Of course her mother was not happy with this, but accepted it since she saw the excitement in Ayna's eyes. And she did apply for it.

Master Chief Rosk placed her in A.T.T. Training Squadron 6, the "Jolly Rogers", or more professionally called the Black Squadron. The Squadron was filled with, or at least Ayna thought, elite cadets, and she wasn't sure if she fitted into the Squadron at all with the others. And then they went into the Commandant's Cup.

She was completely nervous for the Commandant's Cup, and thought she would cause the Squadron to fail completely. However she and the rest of Squadron 6 had beaten every other Squadron, including Admiral Tuvok's AND Chief Mattox's Squadrons. She couldn't help but mouth off to her father and mother about her Squadron's accomplishments.

And apparently they were ready for an actual mission, in the U.S.S. Challenger, which Ayna practically drooled over it's capabilities even though it was such a small ship compared to Cruisers and Science Vessels. They were going to investigate pirate activity.

Once they fought the pirates, Ayna thought they had the situation in control. Until a loud explosion filled her with fear. She suddenly felt herself get thrown out of her seat, and felt blood trickle down the side of her head, and her shoulder felt like it was burning from the pain.

They were able to beat the many pirates that attacked them. But not without casualties, and many injured cadets. She wasn't prepared for something this tragic to happen so quick, and she started rethinking her choices of joining Starfleet. She didn't know the dead cadet that well, but she could only feel so horrible inside knowing the impact on that cadet's family, and on the cadets that were friends with the cadet. Not to mention, a Supervising Officer died in the process as well. Two casualties; so quickly, once Ayna was patched up and went back home, she cried into her mother's arms. But she had decided to stay in Starfleet, she had told herself things like that could happen, right?

Most of the Squadron had graduated, turning into a skeleton of a team. The original Cadet Captain and Cadet First Officer were some of the cadets who graduated, and Ayna was promoted to Cadet First Officer.

Added a chatroom for the game. You can find at least four us on there; I usually keep an active eye on it, but you can always just tag me on there to get my attention if you're looking game chatter/more immediate back and forth from me as opposed to forum PMs/the OOC thread here.

The chat is free, and doesn't require membership.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

The Master Chief's NPC sheet has been added under the Characters tab.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

Alright got the paragraph breaks and posted my character in the character tab. Sorry about the paragraphs it was separated when I first copied it from its original format I created it on. I guess it didn't paste right, anyway I fixed it.

@BladeSS4

No problem! Make sure to read up on the starship/squad sections of the OOC's first post, now that they're filled out.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

Name: Eso Rosk
Rank: Master Chief
Position: Command Master Chief/Lead Instructor of the A.T.T.
Age: 51 Standard Earth Years
Bio:

A veteran of the Battle of Wolf 359 and the Dominion War, one of the most decorated members of Starfleet, commissioned or enlisted. War hero, combat innovator against both the Borg and the Dominion, briefly a prisoner of war held by the Breen until he helps lead a prison break. After the prison break then Chief Rosk is recruited by Starfleet Intelligence to lead a Joint Special Operations Task Force coordinated between Starfleet Intelligence and Starfleet Operations. The JTF was on the front lines of nearly every major battle in the last year of the Dominion War.

Later stationed on the USS Enterprise during the classified Shinzon Incident, commanding the JTF. Shortly after then Senior Chief Rosk is approached on Earth by Vice Admiral Janeway, Chief of Starfleet Operations, and Rear Admiral Tuvok, newly appointed Commandant of Starfleet Academy, about leading a revamped Advanced Tactical Training program. Rosk agrees, resulting in a promotion to Master Chief and the appointment as Command Master Chief of the ATT program. Rosk is the primary architect of the new training program of ATT, and the reorganization of the ATT's Training Squadrons.

Master Chief Rosk takes personal interest in ATT Training Squadron Six, Black Squadron. He feels personally responsible for the intelligence and strategic planning failures that result in the infamous Rigellion Ambush incident and the loss of several Cadets from death and medical discharge. The surviving Cadets of Black Squadron instead credit him for preparing them to survive at all, despite their losses, publicly appearing at Master Chief's Inquiry Board of the incident, an unusual move allowed by presiding Flag Officer of the Inquiry, Vice Admiral Janeway.

Master Chief Rosk is a demanding, blunt, no nonsense leader. Not a yeller, but far from a hugger, either. He talked new Black Squad Cadet Captain into staying with the program after the incident, simply informing her, "You can't leave, Cadet, you have to finish what we started." A living legend that every Cadet in the Academy, let alone those in the ATT, instantly respect. It's advised to keep out of the Master Chief's doghouse, though he is often hardest on those he thinks highest of, including his incredibly demanding approach to Black Squad, and in particular their current leader, Cadet Lorelei.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

Well here is my character sheet. Let me know what I have to change if there is anything wrong with it.

Cadet T'eklil Rarr

Name: T'eklil Rarr formerly known as formally known as drone Ten of Eleven, goes by Tek

Age: 23
Species: Liberated(borg) Klingon/Human
Academy Major: Science specialization in Borg technology, and Transwarp Theory, with a minor in Engineering.
Appearance:

image 1

or

image 2

Bio: Teklil's life hasn't been a perfect one. He was born a half-breed, his father was a human and mother a Klingon. He was given his name after his grandfather's name. When he was five years of age his home world was attacked by a Borg invasion. His life among the Borg isn't documented only that he was given the designation Ten of Eleven.
For twenty years he was in the Borg collective before he was 'liberated'. The liberation happened when the Borg sphere he was on battled the dominion and a starfleet vessel. The starship of the federation was all that was left standing. The sphere was hit hard the drones inside were separated from the collective by the mass damage that was done. Tek was taken from the sphere and was slowly converted back to a 'normal' form. It took a year and a half until he was fully Liberated and was brought into starfleet.
For another year and until his twenty-third birthday he was in starfleet studying engineering, not having to learn much. It was more a formality to send him to the Academy. He has tendencies of highly aggressive actions in times of anger but most of the time he is laid back and pretends to look at things 'logically'. He graduated fast into becoming a cadet, having a high understanding of engineering. Often enough while in the Academy he was treated with mistrust for a variety of reasons. From being part Klingon and still having borg like tech still attached to his head. Many people tend to forget he is half human.
His knowledge of Borg technology and engineering is what speed up his graduation process alone. The only federation officers see what benefits Tek can bring to any ship but the younger generations see him as a Borg with Klingon features.

@BladeSS4

Give me actual paragraph breaks, and post it in the Characters tab! Any questions, feel free to ask. Lots of Engineer/tech stuff going on for this game.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

All good!

The Squad and Starship sections of the OOC are filled out. That should be everything.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

The Cadet Captain is finished and posted.

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

Name: Lorelei
Age: 214 (Appears early 20s)
Species: Ba'ku
Academy Major: Engineering; specializations in Warp Theory and Warp Engineering.
Bio:

Two years at the Andorian War College. Six years at the Vulcan Science Academy. Two years at the University of Alpha Centauri. Nearly a century of scavenging, tinkering, reverse engineering, and nearly getting herself exiled from the Ba'ku society for her curiosity and inability to be content with the serene, pacifistic agrarian society of the Ba'ku. When the Ba'ku finally joined the Federation, Lorelei was the immediate choice for the first of the nearly immortal race to be sent off into the vast unknowns of the Federation.

If for no other reason than she was one of the very few who wanted to leave, and in no small part because she had already left before--in incidents covered up and kept secret by the Ba'ku elders.

Nearly two centuries of life spent self-teaching herself about any and all technology she could get her hands on, Lorelei hit the ground at top gear when she finally arrived at the University of Alpha Centauri, as a student and minor celebrity: the first of her species to be seen at large by members of the Federation, in her first three months she was hosted by everyone from the Earth Ambassador to the Vulcan Ambassador to the Bolians.

It was the Andorian Ambassador that suggested she apply to the Andorian War College; an institute that went against every pacifist teaching of her native Ba'ku. Yet after the Dominion War, even a Ba'ku could see the virtues of at least knowing about self defense. While she would struggle with many aspects of the Federation's premiere War College, the area of defensive technologies sparked in Lorelei a near obsession in technological escalation. It meant a sudden transfer from the War College to the Vulcan Science Academy, the best technology institute in the Federation. In under a year she was credited by Utopia Planitia for a critical breakthrough in the development of a corbomite transphasic inducer--her name right alongside famous engineering minds Commanders Geordi La Forge and Data on the official Advanced Starship Design Bureau submission for the technology.

It was La Forge who personally sponsored Lorelei's entry into Starfleet Academy from the Vulcan Science Academy. While her first two years were academically forgettable, this had less to do with intellectual failings than it did new obsessions: Earth culture, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, comic books, rock music, anything chili cheese, and the newly restarted Major League Baseball sports league. She was at Fenway Park for the first World Series since the 20th Century. Her class ranking? Laughable.

Following a visit from Commander La Forge, and his CO, Captain Picard, something turned around. Most Academy officials believe La Forge and Picard "talked sense" into the Ba'ku woman; because what followed was one of the most impressive runs in Academy history. The first to beat the Kobayashi Maru by, what the testing Instructor called, "doing Frankenstein surgery to the holographic U.S.S. Enterprise on the fly--she was five steps ahead of anything we threw at her." Of particular note, Cadet Lorelei introduced the very corbomite deflector technology she helped bring from theory to reality at the V.S.A., stumping the Instructors who tried everything to keep the holographic scenario "no-win." They failed, and the for the first time ever in a fair fight, the Cadets won.

Entering her Fourth Year, every Cadet Squadron on the Academy went after Cadet Lorelei. In an unheard of move, the Commandant of Starfleet Academy "assigned" a Cadet a Squadron not of their choosing: Nova Squadron, a once proud squadron fallen on bad years. Lorelei would do much to reverse the trend of recent history and help Nova place 3rd in the Academy War Games. Though she nearly graduated after her 4th year, it was again La Forge and Picard who convinced her to go further, try harder--so she applied to to the Academy's esteemed Advanced Tactical Training program.

The Advanced Tactical Training program's Lead Instructor, Master Chief Eso Rosk, placed Lorelei in the elite A.T.T. Training Squadron Six: "Black Squadron", nicknamed the Jolly Rogers. On her first A.T.T. Cadet Cruise, one of the Jolly Rogers lost their life due to a Rigellian pirate ambush. The incident had a profound affect on Lorelei: she had been standing next to the Cadet who lost his life, his flesh and blood covering her by the time they were both found in the rubble of their Engineering section. It was the first time Lorelei had ever lost someone she considered a friend, and her first taste of death has left her markedly changed. More intense, more serious, and more determined to never fail one of her fellow shipmates again.

Following the graduation of most of Black Squadron, Lorelei was named Cadet Captain by Master Chief Rosk.
