Me

Hello, I'm Jo, I'm a university graduate student from Finland. I'm simming under Writer ID E239911J11. I happened to find out about SB118 in October 2022 and decided to hop on and apply. I've been playing ever since.

English is not my native language. I think I'm fairly fluent in it, but I'm still prone to grammar or vocabulary errors. I try to improve my creative writing, but my use of English might still come across as stiff or unimaginative. Oh, and if I ever misgender you or your character, it is not due to maliciousness. It's just that my native language doesn't have gendered pronouns, so I might use them incorrectly occasionally.

My character

My primary character is Jovenan, an Edo science officer on USS Artemis-A. She has had problems fitting in both the Edo culture and the universe outside their homeworld. She has a passion for exploring new worlds but is often shy and insecure. She is averse to fighting and action but might surprise at tough spots.

OOC tips for interacting with Jovenan

She is an Edo, not Edosian; she looks perfectly human and has only two arms!
Consider if your character can tell an Edo apart from human – likely not. Unless your character knows Jovenan's species some other way, your character is likely to assume she's human or unspecified human-looking alien.
I don't mention it explicitly on the character page, but Jovenan is asexual. She is also panromantic, though she may not have come to that self-realisation yet and may view relationships from an Edo cultural point of view, which she finds uncomfortable. Her sexual and romantic orientation is OOC information unless your character is being told that.
As should be obvious, Jovenan's opinions and views are hers and may not represent what I think. She is prone to misinterpreting things based on her cultural background and information at hand as well as on her expectations and state of mind. Remember also that her growth is not always linear, and she may "decline" into fears and opinions she has already once grown out of.

My PNPCs and NPCs

Jozial Renirs

Jozial Renirs is a Trill enlisted technician on USS Artemis-A. Despite being born to a privileged family, she began to hang out with shadier characters in her teenage years on her native M'talas Prime. She signed up to Starfleet to get away from those circles, but still has some trouble following the rules.

Other PNPCs

Tevet Elain is a Betazoid veterinarian and the owner of a veterinary surgery in Dekoa, Betazed. She is the childhood friend of Genkos Adea.

MSPNPCs

Jovenan was an Edo Divine Fleet science officer, temporarily posted to the Commonwealth Interstellar Fleet ship CIC Desdemona. Unlike most crewmembers there, she didn't have any combat experience nor personal losses due to the war. While a skilled scientist, her attitude to the war was dangerously naïve. After travelling to the Prime Universe, she fell in love with Vitor Silveira and decided to betray the crew of the Desdemona. She was ultimately killed by the Captain of the Desdemona.

Mission File

Tevet Elain (alternate timeline) is the Empress of the Betazoid Chalice. When she was a child, the Dominion occupied her homeworld of Betazed. After her friend Genkos and his family were taken to a camp by the occupying forces, she took up to protect the animals in their veterinary surgery. There she met a group of time travellers, including an alternate universe Genkos, who went on to restore the timeline. Abandoned, Tevet used her knowledge of the future to rise in power and seek out Genkos.

Temporary or past NPCs

Rennol and Kireeh, Da'al henchmen during Artemis 240004-240005 shoreleave on Meranuge IV. Posted twice with them before they began to live their own life in everyone's posts.

My accomplishments

These are the OOC accomplishments and awards, granted to the player. For the IC accomplisments and ribbons, see each character’s wiki page.

Full citations ↑ “Despite Jovenan being quite a new addition to the crew, their writer has consistently gone above and beyond when it comes to portraying their character. It's been really interesting to see their growth in and out of character, especially as it comes to rounding off their character. Since our transfer to the Artemis, I've seen Jovenan grow more comfortable in their ability to write sims that show off the strengths and weaknesses of their character in such a way that is incredibly believable and entertaining.” ↑ “Jo, the writer behind LtJG Jovenan, has dazzled us with her mastery of our SB118 Wiki in the short time since she joined the fleet. In her first couple of missions, Jo gleaned information from old Resolution and Excalibur sims and formally “canonized” them by adding them to our wiki. This volunteer task helped codify the lore our crew had created in the Borderlands over the last three years. Jo raised the bar even further during Artemis’ maiden voyage. Our first mission saw us revisiting one of our first Borderlands creations, the Da’al. Jo took it upon herself to read the entire original Resolution mission, parse the information about the Da’al homeworld, and expand the Wiki page with all of the (forgotten) details about the planet and the star system. When the time came to start the new mission, everyone on Artemis had this invaluable resource ready to use, which allowed us to further develop the natural and scientific environment of Meranuge IV in accordance with established lore. During the mission, Jo (as Jovenan) played an integral role in defining the scientific underpinning of a major plot development—adding further to our understanding of this unique planet. For all of her IC and OOC work in expanding our knowledge of the Meranuge system and the Borderlands in general, and for making it easier for other players to build upon established SB118 canon, I am pleased to nominate Jo for the Nebula Bar.” ↑ Like any good storytellers, we all have various characters that live inside us who manifest themselves in different ways. In this community, we tend to focus mostly on our PCs, but writing for PNPCs or MSPNPCs allow us to bring different characters into the fold from time to time and help add different lenses to our scenes. It shouldn’t go without saying that Jo received several nominations for this award for her portrayal of Crewman Renirs, who has made quite the impression on many members of our crew. Rather than say anything more, I’ll let some quotes from the nominations speak for themselves: “Jovenan expertly uses Renirs to add to the plot of our story while also giving room to and supporting the other writers alongside her. Without a doubt, Renirs is a PNPC that always adds to the experience of writing with the Artemis group and Jovenan should be applauded for her outstanding ability to make that happen.” “Crewman Jozial Renirs is an absolute hoot to read and to interact with, and has made this most recent shore leave shine. I've also enjoyed reading past sims from her with other NPCs that she's stepped in to fill - namely Tevet in the recent mission, and then Empress Tevet as she became. I think Jovenan's writing style is absolutely fantastic, and each character reads so distinctly in their own voices, and she does a masterful job of making them also endlessly interesting.” ↑ When I think about this award, there are a lot of factors I take into consideration, among them: length of service, growth and development during their time with the organization, leadership, creativity, and attention to detail. Over her time with us, Jo’s improvement in all of these areas has continued to catch the attention of the command staff, making her a prime candidate for this award, but we aren’t the only ones who think so: “I would like to nominate Jo, who writes for the character Jovenan, for the TOSMA. Over nearly two years of writing with her, I have witnessed Jo become integral to the success of the Artemis (and Excalibur before that). She consistently produces sims of the highest quality and contributes thoughtful and inclusive elements to the plot, facilitating cooperation among the crew. Jo's recent promotion to Chief Science Officer is a testament to her dedication. Her commitment to exceptional writing and collaborative storytelling makes her highly deserving of the TOSMA.”
