TAma

Well, judging from T'Ama's Frontier Day experience of stealing the ship and post- Frontier Day experience of nearly being murdered by a lynch mob of Security officers because she had been assimilated... Yes. They are just allowed to mutiny. 🤷🏻 Looks like you got a live one!

I can't believe he's dating Kirsty behind my back. 😤😒

Lmao her future in laws. 🙃 T'Ama is really conflicted about being made family now.

All the officers I know who have tangled with the Lattice Alliance and then experienced Frontier Day were very blasé about the Borg. The reports of time cancer from that Sencha radiation has me considerably concerned as an El-Aurian despite the Borg having historically destroyed the El-Aurian species.

Serala's over the top detailed responses are equally amusing.

This one was such a nailbiter!

Brodie so serious until suddenly he's not.

I ship it!!!

That is a deep cut reference lmao 🤣

You keep your grubby paws off him!

Thank you, Marty. ❤️

Let this be a lesson to everyone that they should lock their doors.

I develop my characters completely independent of face claims. I don't want my characters to be based on other characters an actor has done, but I do want them to have the right vibe. So I develop them independently, get a feel for how I imagine them looking, and then spend quite a lot of time searching for a face claim. One thing I've learned is don't be married to a hairstyle. T'Ama as a character predates when I joined SB118 - she also predates Lower Decks too. For a long time she was just another character's teenage daughter in my head, and I aged her up to play in a Star Trek Adventures game and discovered she was not at all like how I thought she was. But I redeveloped her for SB118, and that original concept influenced her original face claim. I picked Jenna Ortega because I had seen Wednesday and that was kind of the vibe, and matched the description. But over time as I got going I realized Jenna Ortega did not really fit her well. She was too young, and while T'Ama is immature, she's going to mature quickly. So I spent really a long time marinating on who I should change her face claim to, and watching endless clips of Brooklyn 99 because I literally had not seen any of it when I landed on Stephanie Beatriz. I'm really very happy with who I changed it to. The PNPCs have been more variable in difficulty. I did try it out the other way for an MSNPC where I picked the face claim and the character basically is one they've done and I found it SO much harder to write. The face claim is literally not even shown anywhere but I stress about nailing the character like I don't even own it.

Excuse me? What is happening over there???

I don't know how @kimstapledon didn't die of embarrassment as a teenager because I sure would have if this happened to me. Great job on making me feel things, lmao.
