Thinking of creating a new original character
🕑 Added 2025-03-21 18:56:54 +0000 UTCLately, I've been compiling various cosplay photoshoots of myself as a Redshirt. Some of these photos you've already seen here, while others I've shared on my public social media (Instagram and Facebook). Going through them has really made me want to do a new shoot wearing the red uniform again!
The last original Redshirt character I created was a fierce (grumpy) Andorian security officer (actually, she's my character when I play the Star Trek tabletop RPG, but that's a story for another time...), so I thought it would be fun to create another original character but this time an engineer! Then I also remembered that in the last poll about which Star Trek species you'd like to see in future photoshoots, Trill was the winner... so I think I'm going to create a Trill Redshirt this time!
What do you think of the idea? Can you picture a Trill engineer crawling through Jefferies tubes or fixing your food replicators? I think it could be fun to create a backstory for her!
I know Trills were first introduced to audience in The Next Generation and later got their final "design" in Deep Space Nine, but let's not be too picky, they had to be around somewhere and I just feel like bringing one into The Original Series era! π

Absolutley, I always create a backstory for all my original characters I cosplay... But unfortunately I don't think I'll get to play her in Star Trek Adventures, it's getting harder and harder to get my roleplaying group together (different work schedules, friends who are new parents, little free time) and I play less and less with my usual group nowdays.

A Trill Engineer sounds great, and my food replicator/synthesizer is always playing up! I look forward to hearing the backstory you come up with (and maybe a Star Trek Adventures character sheet?).

Oh I would love a TOS Trill engineer! Great idea!
