This is the OOC thread for the Rigel Cup thread. Here is a quick and not so concrete outline of what I have so far for ideas.

Rigel Cup for the year just before Sera's arrival aboard the Portland.

She is the squad leader since she is in her last year at the Academy and has been in the squad each year at the Academy.

Squads are of five members, going off the Episode en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_First_Duty_%28episode%29

You are free to create your own character, they just need to be an Academy student during the timeframe of the race.

Alenis came up with the adversarial group

Any ideas are welcome

Roster

Delta Squad (Good Guys)
Coach/Sensei Judith - Timothy?
Sera Williams - Me
Fergus Notham - Tyrlai
Jess Sandyman - Timothy
T'Kara - Jason
Eoghan O'Connor - Eilis Ross

Blue Eagles (Bad Guys)
Shusas sh'Tari (Andorian female)
Hamok (Ferengi make)
Vekijek (Nausicaan male)
Nara (Orion female)
Empty

Others:
Tovan (Vulcan Male): Team captain of the Sehlats
Rostrenen T'Sering: Reporter

*Empty means they are awaiting a character. No name besides means they will be NPCs controlled by one of the other players.

((OOC post:

I love the Blue Eagles idea. I'd love to play the Nausican unless I'm doing more than one of the Delta Squad members. The Rigel Cup, at least from what I got from the episode, was only for cadets at the Academy or the equivalents elsewhere. I couldn't find much information at all. It is set while Sera was still in the Academy, with her being the leader since she is the closest to graduation. I just set it for one year before what the front page said our setting is. My intent was to make it a year before Sera joined, should I change that year?))

Sera, the Nausicaan is yours! I'm not putting a lock on any of the Blue Eagles so unless someone else does, anyone can play them, but if you see one that you really want to play, feel free to.

The year is cool; I just didn't realize earlier that this was a "prequel" to Sera coming aboard the Portland.

I was thinking that the Rigel Cup has a lot of teams from around the Alpha Quadrant and is a huge deal across the quadrant. Which is why it was such a big deal at the academy when Nicholas Locarno and Nova Squadron won (Boothby said something about how their victory celebration was the biggest party in a long time at the academy, so that implies that it's a huge competition and that the Starfleet teams don't win very often).

Also, I imagine that there might be room for six or seven per team -- five pilots plus a mechanic or two to support them in case the pilot spots are all taken and someone wants to join in.

I would like to join with a NPC of mine of the Endeavour: Jess Sandyman

She is in the same year as Sera, but if you need I can come up with a reason why she isn't Squad leader. Haven't really given her a background so I can be flexible. (Jess is a character of a friend of mine who joined the End, but then got a few RL event that made it impossible to really join.)

Oh, and I just check Judith's bio. She was on Earth in 2390. The recovery after her first accident ended in 2390 and she then went to Quantico for the Marines version of the Bridge Officer Exam.

If you like we can have her be a judge, or temporary teacher. Something she could do next to the Officer training she did then.

I like the idea of Sensei Judith! I mean the Karate Kid needed Mr. Miyagi, Lightning McQueen needed Doc Hudson, so why not us. I also like it being open to the whole quadrant, that way we could see some rivalries with Romulans, Klingons (we are at war with them in this timeframe right?), and the Blue Eagles.

Jess is also more than welcome, we could say that she hasn't been with the squad as long as Sera for the reason she isn't leading it.

Also, if anyone would like to cameo their character, they are more than welcome. Just keep in mind relationships, if you don't want them meeting anyone before last year, they should just be a spectator. It'd be fun to see a "Oh hey, I saw you in the Rigel Cup," pop up in conversation.

As for judges, I'd like them to be nameless flags like the Olympics. The Romulan judge gives a 5.1, the Federation judge gives a 10, the Ferengi judge gives a bar of gold pressed latinum?

That said, the relationship isn't very good and is very tense because of Klingon aggression towards the Romulans after the destruction of Romulus.

I have no idea. I was treating it more like a figure skating type event where you do a routine and are judged on it. I can easily make it a time trial type race or something else.

Parker, it's definitely open. You'd pick an NPC for the squad, just let me know their name. I'm going to do the next storyline advancement post over the weekend, but could push it back. Due to the scale, it looks like I'll advance the story every weekend, and have smaller interactions during the week. I'll see how it goes and then decide how often the story should advance after that. It depends on activity and the number of people participating.
