Captain Corvus DeHavilland 09 Oct 2023 @ 3:36pm |
Our GM Sepandiyar (also variously known as Markus and PCing captain DeHavilland) Has been recognized by our Task Force CO, Minawara. This is the text shared in the monthly division report: Silver Star – Obsidian Command Captain Corvus DeHavilland When it comes to group level awards, it is rare that I will receive a recommendation for award from anyone but the CO. This recommendation instead comes from the Executive Officer. From the XO: “Sep was already a talented writer by the time we were introduced. His writing reflects years of personal development and honed craft. He loves his characters, not in such a way as to make them too precious to tell their stories, but in such a way as to do them the honor of telling their stories, for better or for worse, but always for the best effect to the reader. He’s true to his characters, true to himself, and so his work can only ring true to anyone who follows along. His primary character on the station is DeHavilland, and over the course of the past three missions since opening the sim, she’s been tested and tried, and her flaws are surfacing as she attempts to live up to her first command under the pressure of so many expectations in her service to Starfleet, and challenges in her personal life. But the reader can anticipate that these tests— great and small, internal and external— will produce character and DeHavilland will persist.” For those of you who are unaware, Captain DeHavilland is played by our own Admiral Sepandiyar. I have written with him for nearly a decade at this point, and would say that I wouldn’t have to pause to question if he was a skilled writer. But still, when it is called out, I go digging. And I have found, as is always the case, a treasure trove of short stories that I could read for hours on end. This is a very much deserved award. Cheers to you Sep! |
Commander Calliope Zahn 22 Mar 2022 @ 9:17pm |
Calliope’s arc since OC started has been incredibly well thought-out and written. Nikki puts so much passion and excitement into her writing, and isn’t afraid to draw in others to help her creative process. Calliope’s storyline follows a great path: settling into a leadership role on OC, struggling to make sure everything is brought online again, managing her relationship with her husband, to then all come crashing down due to an ongoing medical issue and trying to emotionally rebuild as well as physically. Obviously, the arc isn’t finished (she’s been relieved of duty) but knowing where this is headed I’m excited and interested to see her journey continue. I’m genuinely honoured that I get to play a bit-part in that story; it’s made me think long and hard about my own character’s state of mind and his reaction to it; certainly, I’ve had to work hard to keep up!
