|
| ==Odin Nuell== | | ==Unique Names== |
| '''Name / Rank:''' Major Odin Nuell | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Hair:''' Dark brown [when it is not shaved off]. His hair is genetically nappy and frizzy and falling off. | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Eyes:''' Brown | | ==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." |
|
| |
|
| '''Mouth:''' Round with full pink lips
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Weight:''' Approximately 176 pounds | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''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. | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Voice / Way of talking:''' Calm and logical whenever possible. Odin is highly emotional and "gets off" on talking down to people and being racist. | | '''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." |
|
| |
|
| '''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].
| | ==Lowercase second and subsequent words== |
| | Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized (for example: John Wayne, but Computer game). |
|
| |
|
| '''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.
| | Due to technical limitations inherent to the MediaWiki software, the first letter in an article title always needs to be a capital letter. Ordinarily this isn't a problem, but it poses an issue when a proper noun's first letter is lowercase (for example, eBay). |
|
| |
|
| '''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.
| | ==Prefer singular nouns== |
| | | In general only create page titles that are in the singular, unless that noun is always in a plural form in English (such as scissors or trousers). |
| '''Present occupation:''' Major in the United Federation of Planets Marine Corps
| |
| | |
| '''Past occupations:''' Marines officer, Section 31 operative, Romulan soldier and Tal Shiar operative.
| |
| | |
| '''Hobbies:''' Learning everything he can about everything he can.

| | |
| '''Likes:''' He likes being alone and watching his enemies in pain.
| |
| | |
| '''Dislikes:''' Being bothered by people and their lives.

| |

| |
| | |
| '''Favorite expression:''' None.
| |
| | |
| '''Character gestures:''' Talks with his hands.
| |
| | |
| '''Special childhood memory:''' Being recruited into the Tal Shiar because it was the first and only time his father said he was proud of him.
| |
| | |
| '''Where does this character live?''' Odin lives on board the Marines first starship, a Steamrunner class ship called the Century Eagle. However, his home on Earth,
| |
| | |
| '''What does he want?''' To end his term in the Marines and live a normal life on Earth with his ward.
| |
| | |
| '''What comflicts, problems or challenges might he face?''' Loosing his ward, not having a family, and always being called to do the "dirty work" of the Federation.
| |
| | |
| ==Some history== | |
| Much of Odin's history has never been revealed. The reason for this is for the safety and protection of Odin Nuell, the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets. Also, his career as an agent of Tal'Shiar and the Federation's brance of the Marines. His covert / black-ops missions will never truely be revealed and that's what everyone involved is counting on.
| |
| | |
| As a Romulan, Odin was a military brat. His mother, Yram of Nuell was an ambassador. His father, Ra Nuell was an enlistee. His older brother, Ra Nuell, is currently a captain in the Romulan military and a strong supporter of Reunification. Ra, Odin's brother, has his own command and is incharge of the Ojari Project, an asteroid with a cloaked outpost built into it. The asteroid circles a dead system that is heavy on ore.
| |
| | |
| Odin has been raising his ward, Barbara Smith, since months after she was born. As part of his inheritance of her, he promised not to adopt her so Barbara would always have her father's name. Since then, Odin has secretly been plotting to over-ride this clause in the Smith will. Barbara's older sister was Alice Nuell, Odin's wife. She died before Barbara turned the age of one.
| |
| | |
| Though he loves the Federation, Odin Nuell tries to regain his honor in the eyes of the Romulan Star Empire, in the hopes of one day having the ban against him lifted. He desires to set foot on his home world once again.
| |
| | |
| While in the Federation, Odin when through multiple "mutations". He had to alter his appearance, surgically, to look like a Vulcan. His first couple of years was as a Vulcan. However, he was highly volitile and angry; thus his nick-name "the angry Vulcan". The truth of who Odin really was, was known only to his then fiance, Alice, and her best friend, Raven. The two of them were the ones who found Odin when he defected. After entering the Marines, and being banned from Vulcan because of his emotional outbursts, Odin had surgery to make him look Human. All Federation records of him have him as a half Human / half Vulcan.

| ==U.S.S. Century Eagle NX 87631==
| |
| The Century Eagle is the first starship the Marines owned. It was bought off of Starfleet. It is a white Steamrunner class starship that was re-fitted for serious war and battle. The hull was made stronger and re-inforced. The phaser banks were removed. Instead, turrets line the hull.
| |
| | |
| The Century Eagle has one mission: patrol the Neutral Zone and defend the Federation. Odin was appointed major, a rank higher than captain in the Marine Corps. He commands the Century Eagle and he is neither afraid nor ashamed of how he does it. He's a strong leader who shoots first and could care less about the question. All he cares about is that you, and everyone loyal to you is dead.
