Segami's Past Lives

58 posts in this topic

Heya!

 

Would you fancy creating my character's previous lives?

 

A while back Loami did this same thing during the zhian'tara ceremony where a trill meets all their symbiont's previous hosts. However unlike Loami I wish to have an idea of who the Segami symbiont was hosted by previously from the very start in order to make certain quirks part of my character... sooooooo I have decided to hold a sort-of competition for people to come up with the stories of Segami's previous lives. It would be really cool if you could help and its excellent log-writing practice. I also suppose that since they're part of my advanced sim character they could also be used as entries into the log writing competition itself (by the writer of course!).

 

Atticus Segami is a security officer onboard the Excalibur and the ninth host of the Segami symbiont meaning that there are 8 possible stories to be written. If more than 8 are written I may have to be evil and pick the ones which fit the best together! B)

 

The stories can be as detailed as little or as much as you all like. Could be several pages, could be just a couple of paragraphs. Do whatever you feel sums up the character. Oh and remember, if you want to show how the character got killed you get to choose whatever horrible method of disposing of me as you like!

 

To make things less clogged up, please send your entries to me via PM and then I will update this post in a willy wonka "golden ticket" fashion.

 

I'm really looking forward to reading what you've got!

 

Cheers!

 

 

 

 

P.S

 

Could someone dig up a link to Loami's old contest? I'm sure it is far better explained than my own post!

it was pinned on the Arcadia's forum page....

Cheers! Oh but I must note that unlike a few of Loami's stories, the logs shouldn't really be a conversation with Atticus as he's not yet going through with the zhian'tara.

 

 

Lets say the current deadline is a few weeks, I don't want too much pressure, but hey I don't wanna wait till my beard goes grey.

I don't see a problem with this, as long as it's posted up on the STSF boards as well in the normal manner for your advanced sim (Excalibur. You'll have to clear whether non-members of Excalibur can post logs to the Excal boards with your CO and XO) during the log competition's submission period. Any logs entered into the official log competition for Images' previous hosts will count as the one log submittable by the author.

Hey there,

 

If non-Excalibians want to particpate, I don't have a problem with it, so long as the logs are approved by Images, and sent to Wayne and myself before they're posted. (Since they're biographical by nature, I'd like to read them over and approve them as well.)

 

Also, I'll see what I can do about getting a sub-Forum section on the Excalibur boards for this.

You know...it might be a good idea to simply commission people. Let people send in their basic ideas...and then YOU pick the seven that work well together...and then they can expand on them together, maybe with interlocking stories, rather than seven random stories coming together.

 

Just a thought. Hope it helps.

Well that's kinda the idea in the first place. And its Eight. :D

 

"If more than 8 are written I may have to be evil and pick the ones which fit the best together!"

 

If I get for instance, two deaths during the dominion war, it really won't make sense! I'm gonna let writers do as much of their own creative writing as they can and am only gonna try to edit it with them if something is really out of place. But thanks for clearing it up Smith if I wasn't clear before. :D

BUMP! Heya, please send in your submissions! I could write past lives for Segami myself but I'd really love it if it were formed from the thoughts of several minds and because it would be nice to get several members of our forum involved. Oh and if you get 'em in reasonably quick you can still enter 'em into the log contest!

Hmph, I'm quite distressed. Usually most of STSF is absolutely gagging to write log things, especially when its part of character creation yet I haven't got a single thing submitted...odd that. Oh well I'm still keeping this thing open, ::shrugs::

I am actually hoping to write one, but I've been quite busy with other stuff lately and the right inspiration for a character hasn't come along yet. Sorry, Images, but I'm still hoping to get one done soon. ^_^

I would also like to do one (admittedly, I haven't even been writing my own logs lately :-( ), although it might be helpful to get some more info on what you want, so that you don't end up rejecting it.

Reject it? naaah! I only said that in case i got lots and lots and lots of submisions. Just like your one, I'm really really open to everyone's creativity, heck you can make Segami anything you want! :lol:

I'm going to try to write one Images. Do you want that like a charactor bio, or like LoAmi's, but just the story of the charactor, and without the dialog?

Either and all, you can write a bio, a history of the life or even just a log describing a major event in the character's life that i can build around. Like scarface, the world is yours!

Layor Segami was an Ambassador-at-large who often represented the United Federation of Planets.

 

During the Federation/Cardassian War he attempted to negociate a secret treaty. The Federation made a desperate plea to the Valerians asking them to cease supplying the Cardassian Military.

 

Layor was captured by an unknown band of mercenaries while on Valeria. He and his shuttle craft were taken into the Orias System where he disappeared without a trace.

 

There Segami was handed over to the Obsidian Order who immediately dispatched their hired hands. The interrogation of Layor lasted for weeks but he refused to tell them he was working for the Federation.

 

The War was raging and the Obsidian Order decided it was wasting too much time. They dumped Layor and his badly damaged shuttle on Saltok IV making it look like the work of Orion Pirates. 

 

Segami was rescued by the USS Garuda but the Layor host died of injuries sustained during his grueling interrogation.

heh, I like it Vatric! Even though it wasn't sent in a private message I still like it! Okay I think that's one. In future though can I have them sent in a PM though.

 

Cheers!

 

P.S

 

See, thay can be really looooooong or just a few paragraphs like this one.

Just sent you a PM Images about Erian Segami...the fourth host.

 

He was a Doctor...a very important one at that...

 

And...it looks like it would be a good one to place before Vatric's...

I am ashamed...In three weeks, we've only managed to get TWO lives out...I know there are six of you out there...it doesn't take more than FIVE minutes to do this.

Hola muchachos. Still six more lives up for grabs to be told. When I've got them all I'll see how I can fit them together and then put them all on the boards for all to see as new posts in my bio. As I say they can be very long or very short so go nuts and be creative. (Though I wouldn't mind a female host or two to balance things out)

 

I'll never give up, I'm like a bug :lol:

 

Cheers,

Images
