Hannibal Parker

Surrender? That is your problem....

I'd have to go with "Bones." If you read my wiki page, you will know why...

Congrats all!!!!

Every year, this community gets better and better. Congrats to all the winners!

No question...WOK, with TMP a distant second.

The test is really seeing if you can deal with the impossible and the allegedly inevitable. One day, I'll have to back sim how Hannibal did on his test...he managed a draw...

Everyone has made some good points, but I have to say the Marines are fraught with the most risk. Here is why: 1. Marines are fewer in number, and not all are stationed on starships or embassies. As a percentage, they would suffer the greatest number of casualties. 2. Marines come when all else has failed, which mean they come into a combat situation instantly. That requires a different set of skills and tactics that would be found with Security. Marines are taught to advance towards an enemy, hold territory, and break ships and beings. 3. Marines are not always warriors. They can fulfill many roles, such as Engineering, construction, winning hearts and minds. These roles can also place them at great risk. 4. In war, you need a force who can take the fight to the enemy, deliver as much punishment as possible, and achieve the objectives set out by Starfleet and the Federation, and the Marines are best suited for such operations, both long and short term conflicts. When you need to hold a planet, an embassy, or a starship, it's the Marines who get the call.

Hannibal joined the Starfleet Marines just before the outbreak of the Dominion War...he couldn't wait for getting into the Academy. His parents, both starship captains, understood his decision. Long before he joined, his father had been teaching him many things about combat, so he was more than ready to assist in defending the Federation against the J'em Haddar. It took him awhile after the war to get around to being an officer, first in Starfleet, then back in the Marines. He is driven to protect his crew, his embassy,, his friends from harm, and he's really good at it...

Hannibal likes the tactical side of things, so a Defiant or an uprated Miranda Class would suit him just fine....

Everyone always focuses of the "heavies" but DS9 used the smaller craft quite well, and introduced fighters. We use them quite often at the Embassy, as well as runabouts and other smaller craft.. They can be quite useful in storytelling.

Congrats to all the winners!!!!!

Allright...here is Hannibal with his lovely wife Kamela....

Quentin does have his own style, but it should be interesting as to what he is going to come up with. At the end of the day, if Star Trek had not been done for the first time in 1965 and was starting out for the first time, most likely it would be sexier, grittier, more gruesome. It's all about the eyes on the product, with Rodenberrys' vision second.

It would be very interesting to go back and see how what's left of the Federation is dealing with the Dominion, since my character fought in it and his parents were killed in it...

Every incarnation of the Star Trek story since DS9 has been an "reimaginging", not staying true to what has already been established. Klingons eating humans? Really? Ships seemingly more advanced than the not yet on screen but mentioned Constitution Class? The series is darker, which to me is not the problem. DS9 was darker, but it stayed true to what preceded it, and added to it. Discovery does not add, just as the new movies did not add to the existing established canon. They could have done so much better.

There is that........

Jorey been reading Hannibals' classified files or something?

Canon is the backbone of our universe and there are so many stories which can be told within that tapestry that there is no need to recreate the wheel. We have so much material to work with there should be no need to make new canon.

Hannibal believes in taking the fight to the enemy, then doing what is required to removing or neutralizing the threat. This can be any method from hand to hand, phaser fire, or quantum torpedoes....

I have killed off MSPNPC's and have thought of killing off Hannibal once or twice...then I woke up! If he did die, it would have to be epic and mean something. Killing off a character should never be taken lightly. Once gone, they can never come back.

First, I would like to congratulate everyone on their awards. Writing for a character is tough, but each of us, the nominated and the winners, have done one heck of a job. To Oddas: Hannibal is one of those guys to have to make your bones with, and the last mission (which dropped you in the grease but you made one fine showing) will go a long ways towards that. To Sal Taybrim: Thank you for the kind words! I love being in the chat room, where I can enjoy the company of my fellow simmers from around the fleet. To My comrades at the Embassy: Thank you for being such good writers and giving me so much to work with. This award I gladly share with you all, because without you, it would not have been possible. To Admiral Turner: This cannot be said often enough. She allowed Hannibal to be Hannibal, and give him the room to grow and become what he is today, and shape what he will be in the future. THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE!!!!

I'm going in, shields up, weapons charged being prepared if it is a trick. If it's a real ship in distress, render aid. If not, they will eat torpedoes....

We are some good looking people!!!!

Allright...here is Hannibals' attire.....and Kamela's dress..... not sure they loaded right, but here they are.....

Hannibal will use them all, including "old fashioned" projectile weaponry, or bow and arrow , if needed. His favorite might be considered a hybrid...a pulse phaser, either pistol or rifle. More punch to the touch. Ship mounted weapons....can't go wrong with pulse phaser cannons and quantum torpedoes....
