CHARACTERS - DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, INTERACTION, ETC


Overview

Your character is your representation in the Star Trek : Infinity universe, be they Human, Cardassian, Romulan, Bajoran, Ferengi, Breen, Tzenkethi, and so on. They are the perspective you will write from for the majority of your storylines, and as such careful thought should be given to the character you choose. 

When creating your character do not give them superpowers. By this we mean don’t make them so strong that they win every fight with the power in their little finger, or so intelligent they solve every problem within half a minute. It just makes stories very dull and predictable. Some of the most interesting characters are those with flaws.

Telepathy also has its problems within role-playing games. To get around this many characters stop their minds being read and whole plots being spoiled by having basic training to block it. Storylines would be very short if we called ‘Ensign Bob’ to read the suspicious looking person’s mind and save the day every time.
