Star Trek: Restoration: Character Outlines

Main Characters

I haven’t quite worked out many of the details concerning the crew of the Enterprise, who will be the main characters of the show. Here are the little "idea blurbs" which I have worked out so far:

• Name: Paul xxxxx
• Gender: Male
• Species: Human
• Position/Role: Captain of the Enterprise
• Born on: xxxxx

Captain - Male, Human, Asian/European blend— the races are starting to blend together a bit, but not completely - he will also be the primary ambassador / diplomat. He’s an idealist, but also an experienced warrior. It’s his past experiences which make him try so hard for unity, and he’s hesitant to fight again, but once he’s committed, he’s a formidable adversary. He’s a war hero, but is tired of war, and he’s getting on in years. He banks a lot on his reputation, but he also can back it up. Formerly commander of the USSalwart during the war, he was witness of many of the worst slaughters and battles of the Rebellion.

• Name: Commander Talora
• Gender: Female
• Species: Romulan
• Position/Role: First Officer of the Enterprise
• Born on: xxxxx

Romulan, Female - First Officer - the voice of reason, or realism? She’s a bit more militant, tending to argue for an aggressive, but not violent, tactic. But she also understands what is at stake, and knows the value of diplomacy.

• Name: Lt. Commander K’real’mo
• Gender: xxxxx
• Species: Q’tami
• Position/Role: Tactical Officer of the Enterprise
• Born on: xxxxx

Q’tami - Tactical Officer - will also be the "outsider perspective on humanity" as he is not even humanoid - he’s familiar around humanoids, since they fought together in the war, but he often comments on the oddities, and there are some big differences between their cultures and biologies.

• Name: Lieutenant Sirok
• Gender: Male
• Species: Vulcan
• Position/Role: Science Officer of the Enterprise
• Born on: xxxxx

Vulcan, Male - Science Officer - victim of a labor camp in the Rebellion, he’s not a strict follower of logic and unemotionalism, a little like Spock in the later movies. But still rubs against Romulan’s frank emotionalism. Definitely dump the Spockian black mop— his hair is mostly black, just a shade of brown, and in a human-style cut that still shows off his ears.

• Name: xxxxx
• Gender: Male
• Species: Bajoran
• Position/Role: xxxxx
• Born on: xxxxx

Bajoran, male - doing what? anthropologist for diplomatic purposes? captain of one of the other ships in the squadron?

• Name: xxxxx
• Gender: Female
• Species: Ferengi
• Position/Role: xxxxx
• Born on: xxxxx

Ferengi, Female - though not the obsessive profit-minded Ferengi of the 24th century, she’s still a shrewd negotiator and businesswoman - could she be one of the Captain’s aides/assistants in negotiations?

• Name: xxxxx
• Gender: xxxxx
• Species: xxxxx
• Position/Role: xxxxx
• Born on: xxxxx

An artificial intelligence (humanoid) - Engineer - android, but almost entirely human-like, fully integrated. He’s an extension of the ship’s computer, sort of, but they’re also kind of seperate. A kind of symbiotic relationship. He’s the engineer. (But artifical intelligence/life is not prevalent on the scale of Data and the Doc— the Dominion had the Jemmies for that.)

• Name: xxxxx
• Gender: xxxxx
• Species: xxxxx
• Position/Role: xxxxx
• Born on: xxxxx

Medical officer? PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN HUMANOID, Male - How will the technology compare to that of the 24th century?

• Name: Minister Y’saran Kal
• Gender: Female? None?
• Species: xxxxx
• Position/Role: Political Advisor and Watchdog
• Born on: xxxxx

PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN HUMANOID, female - A "political advisor" - someone forced on the captain by the Federation gov’t (even now, bureaucracy rules) - she’s tough and spent time in the camps like plenty of humans in the rebellion, and understands Captain’s problems, but she’s got to do her job.

• Name: xxxxx
• Gender: xxxxx
• Species: xxxxx
• Position/Role: xxxxx
• Born on: xxxxx

Klingon, Female - one of the extremely few in Starfleet because the Klingon "Empire" is falling apart completely, she’s one of the "modern" Klingons that realizes how desperate things are - a lot like Worf’s philosophy. (Heck, she could be a descendant of Worf’s!)

Recurring Characters

Much of this will depend on the major plots of the series, but here’s what I have already come up with:

• one of those peaceful Jemmies on board?
• a couple local governors/ambassadors
• Federation officials
• A Vorta - not sure yet whether she (or he) will be a defector / prisoner / enemy(?)
• A Breen - NO REFRIGERATION SUIT!!!
• Odo? The Female Changeling? (Heck, they’re probably almost immortal anyway.)
• All our old Vorta friends in some form or another— Weyoun (of course!), Keevan, Yogran, Kilana... a few new friends too, probably.

Important Places

• Earth - Capital of the new United Federation of Planets. It is no longer the "paradise" it once was, due to the occupation and damage suffered during several attacks by the Jem’Hadar. Many parts of the planet haven’t fully recovered.
• Romulus
• Ferenginar
• New Tamor - Home of the Q’Tami.
• Bajor - while the wormhole was closed during the rebellion, many of the trade routes still remain, and the planet is still an important crossroads of the quadrant.
• Cardassia
• Andor
• Qo’noS
