I haven’t been logging in at all on the STO beta. I very much did not want to repeat my Aion mistake, which was to play so much beta (and re-start so many characters) that I was bored by the time actual launch rolled around. I’m very much looking forward to heardstart, however – in part because I’m thinking about carrying Kitsune‘s adventures forward into this “universe”. I’m not sure how well she’ll translate, however.
Obviously, Kit was born of my experiences playing EVE Online. The two unfinished episodes that I have waiting for me to come back to are concerned with very EVE themes: resurrecting as a clone after being podkilled (Welcome to Your New Life) and one of the standard missions that you get over and over again, which are the birthday present/doll ones (The Birthday Doll). Her nemesis, Shan V’Zhou, is the agent that sends Kit on this mission and the doll arrives…well, let’s just say it’s modified in a manner that the original maker never intended.
Since there are both avatars and interiors in STO, it would be quite easy to use screenshots as the base for the artwork, and the strips would be a lot faster to do – given my slowness at actually drawing, I’d prefer to do storylines using screenshot art. But I would have to change her backstory quite a bit if I move her to a universe with a very limiting IP, so it poses problems.
So tempting, though, to keep following Kitsune and her kawaii to see where they go. Hmmmn, must think.
Sci-Fi or SyFy (hate that) is all about reinvention and due to its malleable nature quiet easy to find “reasonable” excuses for many things.
In short, doooooooo iiiiiiiit, uhum.
SyFy is an atrocity. I hate using it for the channel, and I refuse to use it for the perfectly good “sci fi”. :D
As P pointed out, though, the uniform will be a problem. Hmmn…must think.
