Things to Consider

This species is from a culture that follows laws or policies that conflict with that of the United Federation of Planets. They would have to subscribe to Federation ideals instead of that of their homeworld.

This species is from the Delta Quadrant. In their backstory you will have to include detail of why and how they ended up in Starfleet, or if they are a civilian, how they ended up in the Alpha Quadrant in general.

UFP Status: Depends on creator's species

Things to Include

Who were they created by, where, and why?

Include limitations so they're not overpowered compared to organic species

The Synth Ban was in place in the Federation from 2385 to 2399. If they were alive during this time, how did they get around it?

UFP Status: Depends on species

Things to Consider

If you are going to write an augmented character, please be sensitive to the real-world issues surrounding genetic modification and eugenics. Please discuss your idea with the admins first; character ideas will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Augmentation is banned in the Federation. Any character who has been augmented must have been done so as a child, and as such, the choice was not their fault. Any adult who has consented to augmentation would have made an illegal choice.

The Illyrians conduct genetic modifications on their children before they are born. You may wish to consider writing one of these, who are allowed in Starfleet, instead of writing a species that does not normally engage in genetic modification.

Things to Include

If you are writing a character who has been augmented then please include details on exactly what their enhancements are.

Please ensure that any augmentation is not too overpowered and that it would fit the narrative. For example, Illyrians modify themselves instead of changing the planets they've settled on; so if they settled on a desert planet then a character may have been genetically engineered to be more resistant to extreme temperatures.

We ask everyone to be sensitive to the real-world issues surrounding genetic modification, eugenics, and cloning.

We will evaluate character ideas on a case by case basis so if you want to write one you need to discuss with an admin first.

Some species such as the Vorta and Jem'hadar naturally undertake cloning. It may be easier to write one of these instead of writing one of a species that doesn't generally clone people.

Things to Include

If your idea has been approved for writing a clone character then please include at least a paragraph on each former clone, detailing who they were, what they did, and the years that they were active for.

Please also detail why the character was cloned and by whom.
