Space. Space is awesome. You should totally explore it, and you should totally do it as part of the Star Trek universe. Here are the rules recommendations to help you explore this amazing canon, no matter what your medium or canon source.
1. Comment. Optionally, you could pick a role for yourself and a brief sample scene for people to tag into. You could also just leave it completely open. Or you can do BOTH and maximize your RP potential!
2. Make sure to mention your preferences! If you're here for beginning CR, if you're looking for a romance, if you want to find wild and wacky antics amongst the Klingons, etc.
3. TAG OUT! Star Trek is all about meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Try to tag at least one person with each character you drop in.
4. Choose a scenario! Don't feel limited to the choices below, but if you need RNG to help inspire some kind of starting point, a list has been provided.
5. Live long AND prosper.
Possible Scenarios
1. Fresh New Faces - You've just enrolled at Starfleet. Now it's time for SHENANIGANS ON CAMPUS. Study hard, make new friends, or enlist as a teacher to help mold these young minds. And of course, there's the infamous Kobayashi Maru test to take...
2. Academy Buddies/Rivals - You were assigned to the ship along with someone you knew very well back at Starfleet Academy. Will you work together? Will old grudges still follow through now that you're no longer cadets?
3. Department Heads - There are a lot of people in charge of a lot of departments. Engineering, Security, Medical, Navigations...either way, someone's in charge, and officers need to report in, do paperwork, take on missions... Is your department head someone to look up to, or is he/she an overbearing asshole? Are YOU the overbearing asshole department head?
4. I Am the Captain - Congratulations, you have your very own ship! What the hell are you going to do with it? Recommended: not flying the ship into a sun.
5. Suddenly Crossover! - You do not belong in this universe. Somehow, you wound up here anyway, and Starfleet's here to check you out (or vice versa). Are you an ally, or an enemy?
6. Crew Social - Not everything's about diplomatic aliens and hostile killer space entities. Sometimes you just have to attend a meet-n-greet to relax and get to know your fellow crewmates. It could be taking a meal at the mess hall, grabbing a drink at the relaxation center, or a formal dance arranged by the captain.
7. Diplomatic Mission - One of you is Starfleet, the other one isn't. You're here to convince this race to align with Starfleet to share knowledge, peace, and prosperity. Or it's a TRAP.
8. Away Mission - Exploring a new planet in space isn't without its dangers. Hopefully you're not wearing a red shirt. Oh, you are? Oh. Oh I'm so sorry.
