Your Player Character is written | Your Player Character is written by you and only you. It is your main persona used to participate in missions and interactions on the ship. Player characters who are ranked full Lieutenant and above, or who are lower ranks and are serving as Acting Department Heads are considered Senior Officers. Functionally, there is little difference between a Senior or Junior officer. | ||
At the beginning of a mission, the Captain will usually hold a briefing with his [[Chin'toka Officer's Manual/Department Heads|Department Heads]], who will then assign specific tasks to the people under their command. Obviously, this could change depending on whether or not the mission is planned out in-character or whether it begins with a bang! Whether your character was present in this briefing or not, it is usually just fine to write as though your character is aware of what their department has been assigned to do as soon as a sim comes through with those instructions, as their department head will shortly filter the information down to their subordinates. | |||
The reason we do things this way on the Chin'toka is to simplify and expedite briefing scenes that often take place in the beginning of a mission, which can get chaotic in a hurry if most or all of the ship's PC crew are all in one location. This lets us move ahead and get into the meat of the mission! | |||
