Who's posted on the Nebula class? I might put my main character there. Unless I'd be the only PC on that ship... I'd like him to be a science officer. I'm going to create a secondary character for the Daystrom, since there are so many colorful characters there.

[Sionnach Glic]

It would be bad form to shoot at me, as I will have a disability.

Trust me, that won't stop my character.
Of course, he's transferring to the battleship, so you're safe if you're anywhere other than there.

[Mikey]

I think we could put Mark as CMO on the Daystrom... we haven't heard from DarkOmen in forever, and since it's been ten years his char could have been reassigned.

PS I haven't shot anyone. Stabbed them through the mandible with a pole-ax, dented their skull with a gun butt, tore out their solar plexus... but never shot anyone.

[Sonic Glitch]

Is Tsuki in on this? I remember we briefly mentioned putting his survivors from the Shoshone on the Nebula but I don't remember if anything ever came of it. I'm welcome to the idea.

History

Watson Holmes was named after one of his mother's favorite characters from literature, Dr. Watson, sidekick to the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes (her last name, coincedentally). He was born in Boston, to a single mother and as an only child, and grew up never knowing nor really caring who his father was, and his mother refused to speak about the subject. Watson was always rather anti-social and rather aloof as a child, preferring to spend time either with adults, mostly his mothers colleuges, (she was a practicing doctor at Mass. General) or by himself. Early on, he demonstrated that he had a photographic memory and could instantly recall anything he had ever seen, read, heard, or even thought. He was taken for an IQ test and tested at 198 on his first try. A second test was then administered as the Doctor administering the test was sure that there was some kind of mistake. On the second test Watson scored a 201, stunning everyone involved, then just as quickly offending everybody present by calling them a bunch of morons.

Watson made the descision to practice medicine early on, to "raise the bar" as he put it, citing that most people died from their doctors being "idiots". Starfleet approached him while he studying at Stanford at 16 years of age, and invited him to apply to the acadamy, where he proptly told them to go get stuffed. A year later, he recanted and graciously informed Starfleet, that he would consider joining their orginaztion for the chance at a real challange.

Watson's acadamy days were filled with arguments, debauchery, practical jokes, toga parties, heavy drinking, and only a bare minimum of studying. He had the dual honor of graduating first in his class academicely and as the cadet with THE MOST demerits on his record to ever be graduated from the Academy. After moving on to Starfleet Medical, it was much the same, with a notable exception during his first year residency. It seems the guest lecturer had posted a holographic display of an uncureable virus for study. Holmes walked in halfway through the class, thought it was a homework assignment, and promptly found a cure to the uncureable virus, flabbergasting Starfleet Medical. When asked how he came up with the idea he looked around with scorn and disbelief and informed them that "if you weren't such a big bunch of putzes, it would have been obvious." After graduating from Starfleet Medical, again first in his class and again one step away from getting dismissed, he was assigned as a junior physician aboard USS Lexington. Six weeks later he was transferred to USS Hood, followed by USS Potemkin, USS Kenya, USS Grisson, and finally finding acceptence on board the USS Galaxy. (three gueses why he kept getting transferred) He was still serving on board Galaxy when the Dominion War broke out. He was assigned to a ground force defending a captured Ketricel White depot (which they were attempting to study and determine if it could be converted to some kind of weapon against the Jem'Hadar), when the Jem'Hadar counter-attacked. Holmes was critically injured suffering a plasma shock to his left leg, yet kept fighting to pull his patients out one at a time. After pulling out, Holmes was sent back to Earth where the doctors at Starfleet Medical prepaired to remove the damaged leg. Holmes refused, even once he realized that his leg had suffered muscle death, and had severe on-going pain from nerve damage. Holmes insisted on having the leg deadened against the pain, and chose instead to walk with a cane. He served for the next 20 years on various Starbases and Outposts, until a "disagreement" (which involved a polysynthetic adhiseve beamed onto her office chair) with the head of Starfleet Medical, a Captain Beverly Crusher, resulting in his immediete dismissal from his post on Risa, and transfer to the USS Daystrom as CMO.

Personality

Dr. Holmes is rude, crude, sarcastic, often disrespectful, occasionally insubordinent, and generally an over all pain in the a$$. He has recieved complaints of harassment, sexual harassment, disrespect to a superior, and failure to report for duty on his service record. The same superiors that reprimanded him however, have listed numerous commendations his record for courage under fire, medical innovation, surgical skills, diagnostic deduction, and trauma care. Patients that every other doctor around have deemed unsaveable are alive today as a testement to the skill of Dr. Watson Holmes.

Apperance

Holmes is an average looking caucasion male, with a slight bostonian accent. We wears a trimmed moustach and beard, which, along with his hair are shot with grey. He walks around with a gleam of mischief in his eye, and a sarcastic grin on his face. His most noticable feature however, is his strong limp due to his left leg, and his ever present cane (of which he has several) which he must use to get around.

Please rate and review this character, gang

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Inspired by Dr. House were we?

[Mark]

Inspired by Dr. House were we?

Yes, house was half of the primary insperation. He's also got some of Alan Alda's Hawkeye Pierce and David Ogdan Steirs Charles Emmerson Winchester.

But, one could safely expect to see some House like behavior from Doctor Holmes. And the first time someone quips, elementary my dear Watson, keep an eye on the cane

Careful - Mikey has been known to carry a blade...

[Mikey]

BTW... any takers for Grr'lek? I've a mind to move him to the battleship, to have a character presence there, but I'm open to suggestions, perhaps even one of the "alien" vessels. Suggestions?

Maybe on one of the Klingon ships? Do we have ANY characters over there?

[Mikey]

Not as yet, AFAIK.
