when the star trek is online

[ronqueesha]

Since I’m currently in a Star Trek mood, here’s one of my oldest video game OCs, who ultimately became the springboard for a lot of characteristics of all of my later characters.

- Kwesha Yvaar, a female Bajoran.

- She was born shortly after the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld ended. This makes her around 40 years old by the time the game begins.

- Because she grew up hearing endless stories of the heroes of the resistance, she developed a chip on her shoulder about not being good enough or brave enough, since she was raised in a time of peace and reconstruction. This developed into an attitude problem and a set of anger issues rooted deep within.

- She joined Starfleet largely as a way to escape her self-imposed pressure of not measuring up to the heroes of the past. Although her attitude earned her no favors, and she had to work ten times harder than anyone else to rise through the ranks. 

- One thing that helped stabilize her mood was an on-and-off romantic partnership with Arif Chandra, a human engineer and aspiring designer of his very own starship. They never spent a lot of time together, mostly finding each other when Kwesha was around Earth. Their careers kept them apart, especially as they both rose in their fields. Kwesha became a captain, Arif achieved his dream of designing a ship from the ground up, to be used in the next generation of Starfleet ships.

- Kwesha’s attitude problem meant that her captaincy hit a brick wall shortly after promotion. She was assigned to a “last chance” ship full of other people deemed too problematic for any other assignment, but not incompetent or malicious enough for official reprimand or punishment. (Star Trek Lower Decks recently introduced a similar idea into canon: Starbase 80.)

- Despite this, Kwesha and her crew slowly came together into a dysfunctional found family after several adventures. Arif Chandra even found a way to temporarily assign himself to the ship just as things started to look up for this supposedly dead-end assignment, much to Kwesha’s delight, and the two of them spent a lot of time catching up and igniting their old romantic flame.

- Then came the Iconian war. Her ship was one of the first to encounter the hostile ancient species, and their bottom-of-the-barrel ship was no match for the Iconian’s advanced technology. In the fight, Kwesha was badly wounded on the right side, almost losing her arm. Arif ultimately sacrificed himself to get the last survivors aboard an escape pod, Kwesha included. Despite her screams and protests for him to come back, he died in the ship’s destruction.

- In the aftermath, Kwesha required extensive surgery and physical therapy. However, she chose to keep the scars of that terrible day, which in some ways made her look somewhat like the wartime heroes of Bajor’s past. At the same time, they served as a constant reminder of what she lost, and what was sacrificed for her sake. Her right arm suffered the most damage, and would forever be in constant dull agony, as well as have severely limited functionality due to the severe nerve damage she sustained. Rather than undergo a relatively simple procedure to repair her nerves, or even replace the limb with an identical biosynthetic prosthetic, she uses a clumsy mechanical aid to restore most of her mobility. The pain is constant, and the brace is uncomfortable, but she thinks she deserves the lifetime of discomfort.

- But this was not the end. After months of recovery, physical therapy, and mourning, Starfleet requested Kwesha and her crew return to service. At the time, they were some of the only people in the fleet with any real experience against the Iconians, and the war was not going well for Starfleet. They needed everyone in the field, no matter who.

- But Kwesha would not go back to some wreck of a ship Starfleet pulled out of mothballs. No, as it turns out, Arif Chandra had made several requests before his death, including a strong recommendation that Kwesha be placed in command of his newest prototype vessel. And as one of Starfleet’s most respected ship designers, plus the desperate situation the fleet was in at the time, it was decided that she would indeed be placed in command of this brand new ship.

- Except, that the ship is SO brand new that not all of its systems have been fully fleshed out. Especially the computer, which uses a template voice recorded by Arif himself. In fact, many of the ship’s onboard systems, and even a friendly AI assistant, were recorded using Arif’s voice and personality. In effect, Kwesha is now aboard a ship haunted by someone she loved.
