Triton

That would be funny. "Hi, I'm Steve."

Haha, that's what I was thinking! The only issue is that it's funny once, but then where do you take a character like that?

His name is an anagram for HE ANDY YOKEL.

Heheh, I actually just phonetically spelled out my name and then reversed it. I always find naming characters very difficult.

I've been wondering if there are any voice actors out there who would be open to giving me a couple of lines for this quick teaser I'm working on? Or if any of you know somebody who might be interested? I need 3 actors for the piece, ideally who would be up for reprising their roles for the actual project, but not necessarily.

Captain Becker - Mature, strong, confident man.
Lieutenant Quinn - Young man.
Ensign Heydna - Alien voice.

Let me know in this thread or PM me.

I'd be interested.

 

[Kelso]

Me too.

 

[Captain Atkin]

I've done voice acting on a few fan film projects. I would be willing to help out on this!

 

[baxart]

I'll chime in as interested too!!

So why STO uniforms on a (sweet) JJverse ship? (at least the bio uniforms look STO)

The uniforms in the bio pictures are the more formal ones worn in the film. Here's a little screen-capture;

At the top of the thread you can also see what they'll look like in the more casual duty uniforms.

 

[Ensign Ro-]

Well, Andymator, you and I have already talked. So, you know I'm willing to pitch you some lines as well. :-)

Ah, my bad.
I saw, and liked, the pic at the top of the thread, part of what got me to read the whole thing.

BTW I've been beta-reading & giving feedback on Starship Excelsior's (http://www.starshipexcelsior.com/) scripts all season, and would also be willing to take a look at yours. Wowbagger can vouch for my quick turn around and (at times) lengthy notes. He's even letting me script an episode next season.

And just got added to Mariner's beta readers today.

Andymator, did you ever find someone to handle a website for you? I probably do more pro bono work than I should already, but I really like your concept and this is the best way I can contribute/support. I might also be capable of writing, but no promises on that.

I haven't gotten anybody yet, and I would be extremely appreciative of anything you could help out with! I'll shoot you a PM in a bit with some details.

Also, to everybody who was interested in voice acting I should be getting back to you soon, I've just been extremely busy lately with work, and also the 2 really big master background paintings for the Triton teaser.

 

[Andymator]

Another character that can often be seen on the bridge of the Triton; Lt. Quinn.

 

[Barbreader]

Andymator, once you have a film out, you will have a full page at Star Trek Reviewed, and I'll be happy to post notes from you to your viewers there. There are a number of filmmakers to use their page at STR rather than maintain a website.

 

[Captain Atkin]

Like everything else in this thread, this isn't final. The idea for her character is to be the hard ass compliment to the Captain's soft touch. She's very formal and by-the-book. Plus, from a story perspective it's always good to have a vulcan around for those mind-melds or nerve-pinches, haha!

My only concern with this character is that Spock was the first Vulcan to serve in Starfleet. If this takes place around the same time as JJ's movie, then she probably wouldn't be a first officer. Of course, Spock got promoted to First Officer very quickly in the movie, but I think saying that she served with Captain Becker for a few years would go against what has been established. Perhaps she could have served with him as a cadet on a training mission (ie: Saavik), or she knew Captain Becker at the academy.

Another possibility could be that she was an officer (Sub-Commander) serving the Vulcan High Command, and that she was serving as an exchange officer on the Captain Becker's ship. After Vulcan was destroyed, their surviving military defenses could have been amalgamated with Starfleet, thus having her become an actual starfleet officer.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Spock being the first Vulcan to serve in Star Fleet was already complicated by the revelation that the Intrepid was crewed entirely by Vulcans. That there were four hundred plus Vulcans available - covering every speciality, position and necessary rank, including Captain - suggests an even larger pool of candidates.

It's just an inconsistency to be lived with, and this character doesn't introduce any further complication IMAO.

 

[Mysterion]

Where was it ever established in TOS (or anywhere else on-screen) that Spock was the first vulcan in Starfleet?

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I'm not sure that it's canon. It's mentioned in The Making Of Star Trek and the writer's guide, but that's different.

My understanding with that was they were not members of Starfleet, per say, so they were probably not wearing starfleet uniforms. I think the Vulcans just had access to a Federation starship as they were founding members of the Federation. I couldn't see Starfleet having a segregated ship of just Vulcans serving in Starfleet. The ship was probably a ship of the Vulcan High Command, with ties to Starfleet. It could be similar to the Romulans using Klingon ships in the 23rd century.

The point is that this is after-the-fact, non-canonical explanation for something that happened onscreen. What is canon is that the Intrepid was crewed entirely by Vulcans, and that's all. At the same time, the statement that Spock was "the first Vulcan in Starfleet" may be a statement from studio or production sources that is not, in fact, onscreen canon.

As long as what these folks do matches what's been shown on television or in the movies they're not inconsistent with the canon. Does anyone have the quotation or scene from a television show or movie that makes Spock the first?

This is what is posted in Spock's bio at www.startrek.com:

"Because the young Vulcan chose to join Starfleet, he and Sarek opened an 18-year rift over Sarek's hope his son would attend the Vulcan Science Academy. Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in the Federation Starfleet, serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike as a lieutenant, and later for James T. Kirk."

Now, the Intrepid is destroyed years after Spock's time onboard the Enterprise with Pike, so it is possible that they were all Vulcans serving in Starfleet who enrolled after he did. But I doubt it. It seems logical that since the constitution class starships were the top of the line at the time, the Vulcans would want one.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Which doesn't make it on-screen canon, of course, it's simply a studio source and it can be contradicted without contradicting any previous TV episode or movie. Nothing is part of continuity until it's actually part of continuity. That the Intrepid was crewed by Vulcans has never been contradicted or elaborated upon; there's no reason to think that they weren't in Starfleet.

Data was constructed by aliens and Spock was an only child, right up until they weren't.
