|BLURB= Anders, the writer behind [[Hal Mika]], has been with Andaris Task Force since April, joining directly from the academy as a counselor. In the short time that Anders has been with us, he's already proven to be a more than adept writer, bringing his character to life with skill and aplomb. | |||
<hr> | |||
Thank you to Anders for agreeing to answer a few questions that will allow us to get to know the player behind Counselor Mika a little better!: | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What brought you to StarBase 118?</font>''' | |||
My brother sims on the Veritas. He inspired me to write early in life and suggested Starbase 118 as a good way to develop my writing, so I decided to try it out and I have not been disappointed. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">So far, what is your favourite part about being a member of StarBase 118?</font>''' | |||
It’s pushed me a writer. Having a dedicated community that writes alongside me has really helped me develop my ability for collaboration. Reading everything everyone else writes is entertaining and it really helps me see a lot of variety in ideas and styles of writing and helps me turn those observations inward to see what I can do to improve. It really is a great community and I’ve enjoyed every moment I’ve been a part of it. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What do you spend your time outside of StarBase 118 doing?</font>''' | |||
I spend a lot of it in a pizza shop, making dough for college. (Pun intended.) I spend a lot of my free time catching up on Star Trek. So far, I’m in TNG Season 3, working forward in order of release. Beyond that and among other things, I enjoy running, camping, videogames and listening to and making music. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What drew you to playing a Counselor?</font>''' | |||
When I was first joining, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to sim. I checked the Duty Post availability and at the time it said Counselor or Science officer were most needed and I wasn’t sure I could write a very good science officer. Science has never really been my strong suit. Counselor sounded like an intriguing and challenging duty post to write for, without having to spend a bunch of time trying to catch up on all of the science stuff that goes on and has gone on in the Star Trek Universe. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Ba’ku is certainly an interesting choice, how did that come about?</font>''' | |||
I wanted to play a less familiar race, one that would allow me to explore my character in a way beyond what I could do with a human. I hadn’t seen much of Star Trek before getting started here; we had all the movies at home when I was a kid, so I was somewhat familiar with the Ba’ku. It seemed the appropriate amount of unfamiliar without being something I wouldn’t know anything about as a writer. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What is your favourite Star Trek series?</font>''' | |||
I’ve only watched TOS and some of TNG. Of the two, I prefer TNG, if only because by the time it came around, the picture of what Star Trek was was clearer and better funded. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Do you have a favourite character from the shows and why?</font>''' | |||
All the characters I’ve yet seen have been wonderfully distinct and they add so much to the story of each series. But if I had to pick a favorite, I think Data would be it. His cluelessness about certain human behaviors never ceases to be amusing and his quest to be more human adds a lot to his character, making him deeper and more interesting than most characters in any story I’ve read or watched. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">If there was one thing you would want everyone to know about you, what would that be?</font>''' | |||
I guess I’d like everyone to know that I work hard, but I’m a terrible procrastinator! So if ever I’m slowing the ship down, don’t be afraid to let me know. Sometimes, I just need a little push. | |||
