Divorcing character interaction from personal interaction. Broadly, knowing that what happens in-character isn't something to be taken personally.
2.) What is the difference between the term Player and Character?
Player refers to the gamer (me); Character refers to the in-game role (Miraya, in this case)
3.) What is Meta-gaming?
As I understand it, allowing player knowledge to influence character decisions (where the character would themselves no).possess the information in question).

Symbols used to indicate that text within refers to emotes, or actions.

9.) What will you bring to this fleet?
I like to think a friendly nature and supportive RP. Also I'm Australian, which is kinda like being an actual alien.
10.) How do you feel about PVP?
I've enjoyed the (very limited) PvP I've done in STO; I'm certainly up for it, but I have a good deal more enthusiasm than ability.
11.) What difficulty do you typically play Star Trek Online on?
Normal.
12.) Do you understand that all role playing is conducted locally?
Yes.
13.) Do you know how to roll dice on Star Trek Online? (If so what is the command?)
I'll go with /e rolldice, because I read that in other apps.
14.) Do you have experience with Star Trek Role Play? I ran a campaign in university using FASA's Star Trek rules, later converted to GURPS, and I RP'd a fair bit in STO for a few months after launch.
15.) Do you have alts in other fleets? (If so which fleet are we sharing you with?)
I have one character in the 17th Tactical Wing, and one in their KDF counterpart the name of which escapes me. Both fleets have been inert for over a year, though.
Section 02 – OOC Character Inquiry:
(All these questions are to be answered as player about the character you wish to play. It is best that you review daedalusomega.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rphandbook before answering.)
Part A: Character Request
1.) Character name? Miraya Jinnae D'Vaal
2.) Character gender? Female
3.) Character race? Orion (Technically Alien, of course.)
4.) Is your character a telepath? (Alien telepath characters are subjected by GM approval) No.
5.) Character class? Tactical Officer
6.) Character STO level? Captain 1
7.) Select an fleet entry level rank. (Ensign, Jr Lieutenant, Lieutenant) Corporal (MACO)
8.) What is your basic character concept & history? A driven and determined idealist hellbent on Being All She Can Be.
9.) What kind of commission does your character have? (Enlisted, Petty Officer, or Officer) Enlisted
10.) Desired ship type of ship you'll be wish to be assigned too? (Tactical, Science, or Cruiser). While I default to Cruiser, that's just because no class is more 'Star Trek' to me than the ships of the line. Really, I've no strong preference.
11.) Please give a little background about this character.
12.) Please describe what Merit System is.
A means of tracking character career progress through achievements in various undertakings.
13.) Has this character been enrolled in a fleet prior?
She joined the 17th Tac Wing late in its active period, but didn't get much use there.
14.) What are your aspirations for this character? Casual RP (I am just here to RP) or Competitive (I want to be an Admiral some day!)
I'm a casual RP-type myself, although in this specific case the character's competitive.
15.) What are strengths, weakness, and flaws in this character’s personality? Her focus is her most notable strength; determination to excel drives her, in general, to do just that. It's not without a downside - it gives her a sort of tunnel vision that makes her somewhat abrasive and standoffish to her peers because she simply doesn't consider positions other than her own. She's also something of a martinet, more inclined to follow the letter of an order or regulation than its spirit. These latter traits are probably the biggest obstacles to her advancement.
Section 03 – IC Character’s Personnel Recorded:
(This section must be filled out and will serve as your official personnel Starfleet Record for this character as you play in our fleet. This is the section where you can become creative and illustrate to us the character you want to play in our RP Community. Be as detailed as you can with the character's past service. BE ADVISED: In-Characterly, Fleet Command has access to all your character's files... nothing is **Classified** to them.)
Name: Miraya Jinnae D'Vaal
Born: New Argyle Colony, 2390.
Age: 23
Education: FDE School of the Air (Remote Schooling)
Enrolled Starfleet Academy, 2408
Transferred, MACO West Point Academy, 2410
Graduated with Distinction, 2412
Assigned to USS Tycho Brahe, 2412-13.
Notes: Subject's parents were low-ranked crew aboard the Orion free trader Noravian who jumped ship on Rutledge Station in 2389. Official records indicate their application for asylum was granted on the grounds that they would face persecution and imprisonment should they return to their former homes; sealed records further indicate that their application was facilitated by the provision of information on Syndicate operations in the sector to Starfleet Intelligence Command.
Following debriefing by SFIC they were resettled on the mining colony of New Argyle (population 738) in early 2390. Their daughter was born less than a month later.
Subject has been prescribed Penzadrine-K3 and Tritherol since the age of ten to suppress the natural production of O6L pheromones. Starfleet Medical estimates that after such prolonged use it would take between six and eight months for pheromone production to reach normal levels. She has reported minimal deleterious side-effects from these prescriptions.
