| | ==Unique Names== |
| | Imagine each page's name is its own telephone number (with area code and country code, of course, because we're an international community!). If your phone number is 1 (555) 555-1212, no one else can have that phone number, right? Because if they did, you'd be sharing a phone line, which is never good for conversation. |
|
| |
|
| '''Name / Rank:''' Major Odin Nuell | | So too, here on the Wiki, each page's name is its own unique identifier. Your first priority in naming is always to keep this in consideration. |
|
| |
|
| '''Hair:''' Dark brown [when it is not shaved off]. His hair is genetically nappy and frizzy and falling off. | | ==Specificity== |
| | Let's use an example here, with my character name: Tristan Wolf. I can be known by any number of variations of this, right? Perhaps "Tristan," or "Wolf," or maybe even by parts of my rank: "Fleet Admiral," or "Admiral." If you're feeling brave, maybe even "Fleet Admiral Tristan Scott Wolf." |
|
| |
|
| '''Eyes:''' Brown
| | Now, our goal in naming a page is first, as we said above, to make it unique. But we also need to make it easy to find the page. Sure, search would probably pull up my page as long as you had one of the variations above in it, but search is inconvenient and sometimes annoying because other responses may come up. So we need to decide what is the best variation to use for simplicity and efficiency. |
|
| |
|
| '''Mouth:''' Round with full pink lips | | We need to be careful, however, not to be too specific. While ''my'' rank, for example, will not be changing because I can't be promoted any higher, just about everyone else in the club is pretty much guaranteed a promotion at some time in the future. So, we probably don't want to include the "Fleet Admiral" part of the name because we want conformity with others, and others don't want to use their rank because that would mean the page name would have to change in the future, which is always bad. |
| ''' | |
| Weight:''' Approximately 176 pounds
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Height:''' 5'8" | | This leaves "Tristan Scott Wolf," as my character name. We probably don't need to use the "Scott" part, because most people don't know that's my character's middle name. So we're down to "Tristan Wolf." But do we do it forward, or backward? |
| '''
| |
| Build:''' Medium thin. Odin hits the gym whenever possible, but it's not a priority.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Voice / Way of talking:''' Calm and logical whenever possible. Odin is highly emotional and "gets off" on talking down to people and being racist. | | Putting the last name first is usually the best, like so: "Wolf, Tristan." Here's why: because we're using ranks normally in SIM, most people are known as something like "FltAdml. Wolf." Last names are slightly more common in SIM than first names, so people will likely look for the last name first. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, but we simply deal with those on a case-by-case basis. |
|
| |
|
| '''Family:''' Alice Nuell, wife [died during the Dominion War]. Barbara Smith, ward [she is the daughter of Nuell's father and mother in-law who died during the Dominion War; he is raising her now but only on the condition that he doesn't adopt her]. Ra Nuell, older brother [Ra is a general in the Romulan military and Odin's rival; since Odin left the Romulan Star Empire to defect to the United Federation of Planets]. Brigadier General Campbell, mentor [helped Odin defect into the Federation and teach him the ways of the Federation]. First Lieutenant Raven McCloud, best friend [Raven was the best friend of Alice and part of the crew who found Odin when he defected to the Federation; she is the god-mother of Barbara]. | | '''However''', if your character is more commonly known by their "first" name, then we need to change this a little. For example, the staff member "Hollis Caley" is called "Hollis" because he is a Bajoran. So his character page would be called "Hollis Caley." |
| | |
| '''Ethnic background:''' Odin is a Romulan from the planet Romulus. Two years after defecting to the Federation, Odin had surgery to make himself look Human. He had his records altered. Now, he is recognized as half Human / half Vulcan.
| |
| | |
| '''Schooling:''' Odin began schooling on Romulas and moved onto special Tal Shiar trainning. He then entered the Romulan military. Before becoming an officer, Odin defected to the Federation. He then entered Starfleet Academy. After graduating, he joined the Marines and graduated from the top of his boot camp at the top of his class. After becoming an officer, he was recruited to Black Ops. Between Black Ops and Tal Shiar, Odin Nuell is a master torturer and has been called into action more times than he's ever willing to admit. Odin Nuell is also a member of Section 31 and the request of his long time friend and mentor, Brigadier General Campbell.

| |
| | |

| ==RACE==
| |
| | |
| Odin Nuell is a Romulan. He born on the North West continent of the planet Romulus. He has an older brother named Ra Nuell who is a captain in the Romulan military. Ra is also a supporter of Reunification. Odin has a younger brother, Soon Nuell who is a teacher on the planet Cora in the Romulan Star Empire. Odin's father, Ra Nuell, is retired from the Romulan military and gained the rank of sergeant. Odin's mother, Yram Nuell, is a retired ambassador.
| |
| After defecting to the United Federation of Planets, Odin had his appearance altered so that he would look like a Vulcan. His new "blood-line" was Vulcan. However, he raised more than enough eyebrows as an enlistee in Starfleet Academy because of his violent nature. Odin then changed his "genetic history" for him to be half-Human and half-Vulcan. He was then nick-named "The angry Vulcan". After entering the Marines boot camp, Odin had his appearance changed to appear Human.
| |
| After his first mission as the commander of the U.S.S. Century Eagle, a Steamrunner class starship bought by the Marines from Starfleet, the true blood of Odin Nuell was discovered. This, and a lust for power from then Captain Maige, an Andorian, sparked a mutiny on the Century Eagle that left some dead and others sentenced to prison. Though the proceedings of this case were closed and sealed, with much of Odin's military history, those onboard the Century Eagle during the mutiny, and those who took part in the trial know that Odin Nuell is really Romulan.

| | Some special characters either cannot be used or can but cause problems. For example you should not use a piping character (|), an asterisk (*), an ampersand (&), a plus sign (+), curly braces ({}), or square braces ([]) in a name. |
