Best Characters

What would you say is the best character you've actually played in the Last Unicorn Game Star Trek system, or, if you're the Narrator, the best character from any of your Series?

A brief description (or not so breif) is fine; game statistics would be useful as well (if available).

My best character thus far is in the Artifical Lifeforms document: Lt. Pandora, the Iconian android. She's served both as a PC and an NPC.

Rather than repost all of that information, I recommend that you check out her stats in the ALF document.

mactavish out.

Andrew Mulcahy -- an engineer who spent most of his time at UP before getting told he needed a space cruise or he couldn't pin on his next pip. He gradually moved froma very idealistic, just wanna 8-5 job fixing ships to a cynical, slightly paranoid, but very competent and adventurous officer (as evidenced by his Andorian spouses...ouch!)

CPT William Drake -- a moody English fellow who has been at every bad battle since Wolf 359. He's a man so long at war he doesn't know how to survive without conflict. Added to this is survivor angst, and a desire to protect his crew and ship to the point of puttin ghis own life on the line first.

My favourite character to play was Lt. Commander Hauq Tranatas, Chief of Security...

I played him a few years back and had a 3 page background and description. Covering his history in the Bajoran resistance, his exile into Federation Space and his career in Starfleet up until Wolf 359 aboard the the USS Melbourne.

A whole history was developed around events in DS9, ensuring that Hauqs path was laid out by the prophets to ensure he was at Wolf 359 and his life was his own beyond that...

Which was when it started falling apart...

Now he was a blast to play, and I have never got round to adding LUG stats...

Man, you bring tears to my eyes... the sweet memories of the longest campaign in history.

Okay. Two years. For two full years, this character was my alter ego. Tobar Dalum, the Trill engineer. I brought him from the ranks of Ensign to Lieutenant Commander. I played him under THREE different systems. As a joined Trill, he had a nice mix of personalities, but overall he was quite introvert, overconfident, ugly, but kind nevertheless. I tried to portray him as a model Starfleet officer: he was quite a nerd, who changed his way of life and think thanks to his symbiont. He had a wife on Earth, and two friends on his postings: the defector Torek (a wretched Vulcan), and *sob*, *sob*...

John Melas *sob*. Those who don't like revisionist history can leave now. Melas wasn't an example of anything, but he was the BEST security officer on this universe. We don't know how, but (with any set of dice) he ALWAYS pulled double sixes against the Romulans and the Dominion. He was violent, womanizer, lewd, but a good friend. Once he danced, dressed as a woman, on a local pub. He died as a hero (a stupid hero, he was dumb as a rock. He never raised his Intellect above 2 to reflect that http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif). Carrying several thermonuclear devices, he blasted 20% of the Borg cube which was going to attack Earth on Stardate 50893 (First Contact) from the inside.

For a guy who, when he was eight, depressurized the dome on New Berlin, Luna, and was exiled from there as a moron, he went a long way...

My best character is also sort of a combination of characters played in two different systems.

The character that I played in our TNG campaign was Lt. Thorin, an Andorian Tactical officer frome the Keth P'Trell. When I created Thorin I used the name of an Andorian I played years ago in the FASA system (also one of my favourite characters) the TNG Thorin was my FASAs characters grand son. The history of Thorin was altered slightly when Amoung the Clans came, but basiclally was the same. The elder Thorin was a Security Officer aboard USS Eagle for some years, he then transferred to the Enterprise as extra security for a diplomatic mission...He was assigned to the Gorn contingent of the mission, and subsequently saved the Gorn Ambassador from an assassination attempt. Getting the pojees beat out of him in the process.

Unfortunatly our LUG TNG game didn't last as long as our FASA one, but the younger Thorin was instrumental in the apprehension of several Orion gangsters and managed to capture a Romulan agent almost single handedly. The only black spot on his record was when he and the SO were sent to a planet for a "first contact" situation. We managed to completely misunderstand some tricorder reading, which made us think that one of our Away Team had been kidnapped by representatives of the race we were making contact with. Anyway, long story, short the Captain was able to smooth things over after we stunned the Prime Minister and several other natives trying to "rescue" our engineer, who was only making repairs to some of their systems. The two of us were on the record as having said...OOOPPPS!

AHH, the memories. They were both great characters to play.

In the Praetors Name!

Well, its Evan van Eyk, formerly a hot-shot pilot and funny person he now changed his behaviour after serving on the U.S.S. Ranger, lost in Delta-Quadrant for two years and then as CO on a Okinawa-Class ship in the Dominion War. Now he is the CO of the U.S.S. Paladin. I began to play him as Lieutenant J.g. he now is Captain. For more information and a picture just visit my website www.farrealms.de and take a look on the PCs of the ST RPG. There's a whole biography. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
As you said memories...

Maybe not the best, but the most... umm... dramatic character in my series right now is Lt. JG Morg. He's a Tellarite engineer who's on the Prime Team (a concept shamelessly lifted from Prime Directive RPG, which allows my players to have two characters active at a time). Morg is a Tellarite, but the players think a Klingon berserker swapped minds with him somehow. In spite of his relatively limited combat skills, he always pulled a six on the drama die when needed. More than once, Morg has used the old phaser on overload bluff to win the day. So when it came time for the players to meet the mirror universe version of themselves, there was no other choice for the commander of the mirror ship than "Commodore Morg", who is now running around in the player's universe.

This player's other character is Commander Roarke, the XO of the ship. Roarke is noteable for many things, the most annoying of which is a Sean Connery accent.
