Wanted Characters

The GMs encourage creativity during character creation, we want to work with you to create the character you want, tailored in a way that fits into our ongoing story. If you love your character, you're going to RP them more.

Star Trek: Theurgy only accepts characters for positions on the Wanted Positions page. The rest is up to you!

Below are suggestions to think of when creating your character pitch.

Inherit a Character

Applicants may inherit characters on the Available Characters Page.

We have been running the Star Trek: Theurgy story for many years now, and over time, we have built the story with key characters that are essential to the plot, not to mention making different kinds of relationships between characters that have become important for character development. Sadly, writers have left the group now and then, leaving the writers that remain with us bereft of the development that they were looking forward to with their own characters. However, over time, we have successfully let writer-less characters be inherited by present writers, examples being Selena Ravenholm and Cross, whom are all being actively played today even if the original writers left us. So, this is your chance to step right into present events in the Star Trek: Theurgy story.

Please consider how you, as the new writer of the character, have a creative license to change the way s/he is played. We want you to make the character your own, change things as you see fit, and update details on the character page to your heart's content. They merely have to remain the same person in the broader sense, i.e. in terms of name, race, position, rank and images.

If you would like to inherit an available character, the GM will provide all information about what the characters have been up to so far in the story, as well as potential development for them.

Species

Star Trek: Theurgy accepts characters from all species in the Star Trek universe. We also have a group of original species created for the Theurgy universe.

Below is a list of species that have appeared in our story. New writers are welcome to pitch a character from one of the following races, or another species that has appeared in Star Trek canon.

Note: Only current members are allowed to create their own original species.

Aldean	El-Aurian	Ash'reem

Try to Avoid

There are certain types of characters that Star Trek: Theurgy currently has in abundance. While we don't want to prohibit them outright and restrict creativity, we do ask writers to avoid the following character types and prioritize other ideas:

Gender

• Women: 60% of the player characters on Theurgy are women. Obviously women are better, and we'll probably beat the Infested faster this way (66% of the GM staff are women), but in terms of equality, this ship needs more men.

Species

• Joined Trills: The number of joined trills is small. According to DS9, there are only 300 symbionts available for joining each year for 1000 applicants, out of an entire Trill population numbering in the billions. Right now, there are 4 joined trill on the Theurgy. Statistically, this is highly unlikely. When creating a trill character, writers should ask themselves why they are choosing a joined vs unjoined trill. What does being joined specifically bring to the character that changes the way they are played in the game?
• Romulans: Romulans in Starfleet are not common. We probably have all the Romulans in Starfleet.

Plots

• Temporally displaced individuals

Prohibited

Cadets

Though there were some cadets unfortunate enough to be onboard the Theurgy during it's original escape from Earth, none of them survived long in the Theurgy's unique and dangerous circumstances. Since the Theurgy is a renegade ship on the run from Starfleet Command, we are not being sent any cadets for educational cruises. Admiral Anderson, our ally inside Command, often sends officers or experienced enlisted personnel that he thinks would benefit the Theurgy's crew. He would never send a cadet.

If the Theurgy picks up a cadet somewhere along the way, we would find a way to send them back to a Starbase, not let them remain onboard.

Cadets are young, untrained, and not prepared for the rigors of the Theurgy's mission. They are a liability that the crew doesn't need or want.

Marines

There are no Starfleet/Federation marines in the Star Trek: Theurgy universe. Military Assault Command Operations (MACO) existed as part of the United Earth military and worked with Starfleet. However, with the founding of the United Federation of Planets, the MACOs were disbanded. There is no marine division in 2381.

Radiants

Radiants are an original species created for the Theurgy universe. Their unique Photokinetic Abilities gave them a unique advantage against the Infested, and the GMs no longer believe this power fits with the overarching plot. Therefore, no new radiant characters will be permitted.

Children

This is an 18+ sim with adult themes. This is not a family friendly ship. There are no children allowed on the Theurgy.

All characters must be adults.

Character Art

Theurgy's resident photoshop wizard recently had to take a step down from the sim. Those of us who remain can make everything except the really difficult species, though we're working on learning! We don't want this to stop anyone from making whatever character they'd like, but just know that you might have a placeholder image for a time while we work on returning the art to the standard the sim is known for.

Species with FC requirements

• Andorians: Blond FCs
• Orions: Dark haired FCs
• Cardassians: Dark haired FCs

Hit or Miss (This has worked a few times but we can't consistently recreate it)

• Klingons
• Cardassians

We have no idea how to make this

• Caitians
• Kzinti
• Remans
