posting this from cellphone thanks for the quick response, and I'll try to get something up based on it if I can. But my PC just broke....badly... with all my files are on it.... and it'll be a bit before I can even scrounge up the cash to get it fixed/replaced. So if I don't get a character posted in time, thanks for at least considering.

I'd also like to toss my hat into the running, but I'm torn on which of my ideas fits best into the game as planned: Idea 1: The Living Saint -Class: Cleric or Witch (Fervor Patron only) -Archtype: Soul Warden -Background: either Acolyte, Field Medic, or Lastwall Survivor -Race: mechanically either Dwarf, Halfling, Elf, or Human; but with Aasimar -Brief Description: Healer of the living, warder of the dead, and servant of the Holy Catholic Church. Originally a nun-in-training in a nearby church before this all began, she had yet to even finish taking their vows when Dracula's Castle appeared. As the dead rose to plague the countryside and forces gathered to deal with the threat, she found her niche tending to wounded and helping to perform last rights to the dying. But when one of the higher up of the orders noticed her prayers over the wounded and dying having an actual effect, she was immediately pressed onto the front lines. Viewing this as God's will, she quickly proved both a competent healer of her wounded allies, a merciful advocate to weary civilians in need of relief, and (strangely) a living bane to all undead. Idea 2: Cambion Malconvoker & Artificer -Class: Wizard (Universalist or Conjuration) or Witch -Archtype: Familiar Master or Runelord -Background: Magical Misfit, Occult Librarian, or Wonder Taster -Race: mechanically either Human or Elf; with the Tiefling ancestry -Brief Description: A student of magic, crafter of mystic relics, and a dabbler in the dark arts. They is a part of a semi-heretical order of monster hunters that believe in turning the powers and weapons of the enemy against them, even if it damns themselves in the process. Like many in their order, they bares the tell-tales signs of this corruption; in their case a demonic visage, often concealed by deep hoods and the like. Tolerated at best by members of the other orders, about the only things keeping them from being branded a heretic or burned at the stake or their sheer bloody effectiveness and dark insights into their enemies. Ostensibly here for Dracula's downfall, they cannot deny that they want to raid the libraries and labs within the Prince of Shadows castle for useful books, scrolls, and magic items... to better help humanity of course... seriously... no other reasons... smile. Sadly, upon arriving in the war camp, they were practically (and at times literally) shackled to what served as the field library and made into little more than an advisor to the unified efforts. But with the disappearance of the last Belmont, they has a chance to finally get in there and show what they can really do.

Mechanically, all that's left is equipment (However we're supposed to do that when we're all dead broke), expanding on the Bio, and adding the little details as well as some formatting of the sheet.... All of which I'll do in a few hours. The character's otherwise done in the broad strokes.

I'm Still tinkering w/ & fine-tuning the character, just wanted to get what I did have posted before I get too hyperfocused in minutia and loose track of time

Personnel Name: Eduardo Lopez Aliases: ? Age: 26 Height: ? Weight: ? Hair Color: ? Ethnicity: Hispanic Nationality: NAU Hometown: Terminus Marital Status: Single Affiliations: ? Bio W.I.P. Eduardo is a (cyber)punk, even before Moonfall... Originally, in the days of the old North American Union, he grew up in the street gangs of Terminus. Even at a young age Eduardo showed an amazing aptitude for computers and robotics; often acting as a hacker for his gang family's criminal exploits. Eventually his crimes caught up with him and he was arrested, convicted, and set to prison. But, like an angel of mercy, agents of the NAU's FBI made him an offer he couldn't refuse; come work for the government, use his skills in service to the state, and his sentence would be commuted. It wasn't long before they had him in the field, controlling federal security drones and conducting information warfare against the very criminal underworld he was once a part of; as well as other nations. He didn't feel quite right working against his former peers, he hated his boss, and all the paperwork and red tape was insanely tedious. But it sure as hell beat prison time... and the pay was decent too. Then came the days of Moonfall. Eduardo was loaned out to the Ark-1 project in its earliest days to maintain its cyber-security; but when things began to get really bad, and riots started breaking out, he was also tapped to control some of the bots used to suppress the citizens. None of this really sitting well, he used is position to secretly add both himself and random families to the list of evacuees; deliberately removing those of politicians and wealthy fat cats to do so. He never added a lot, as it would've drawn too much attention; only as many as he felt he could reasonably get away with. In the days since, with the government effectively collapsing due to the end of the world, he views himself as something of a free agent. Though there are those in Ark-1 who might disagree with that.

["I'm still here" from Treasure Planet starts playing]  

End of Summer? Explain that to the weather where I live, it's still regularly 100+ F here 🤣

IIRC Beverly Crusher did much the same in TNG, and the Doctor was in semi-regular contact w/ the bridge throughout Voyager

Oh!!! Wait... was what I just did instead a Create Advantage Task? If so, then I'll add another "to hit" roll

Okay, then is a roll to hit the same check? Or is it something different? Cause I could've sworn the Control+Sec, diff 2 was to hit... or was that just to get a target lock?

I think the idea might've been more that the first officer, or whom ever was second in command on shift, would also be working at one of the other stations (judging from both where T'pol and Spock sat in Enterprise and ToS)... just a guess though.

Putting a reference image of a typical Constitution class bridge layout here in case anyone (like me) wants a perspective of where they might be in the current scene.

I don't think that's a fan-theory... It heavily implied that it was the case.

 To be fair, there are "doctors"... and then there a DOCTORS... 🤣

Believe me, I'm actually trying to find one. The only reason that picture's there at all, is it was one of the better ones I could find. Most of the ones I bump into are either Tendi from Lower Decks, I don't like the art of, or are worse than the one I did put in; and a lot of those are in either ripped up clothes or the Orion slave girl bikini. It's actually a bit of a pain to find one in a ToS uniform... much less the red shirts of a security officer. That one, at least, is supposed to be Gaila from the 2009 Abrams Star Trek movie. And a think with a red shirt that's being worn opened on the shoulders, like a cape.   I do have one that might be more "realistic", but the uniform is of the late DS9 era... So, I guess I can go w/ that one?   Edit: This one any better?
