Characters and Positions

Avalon serves a very different function from Starbase Bravo. While Starbase Bravo is intended to allow people to write together in a Lower Decks-style experience for slice-of-life and character development of junior officers, Avalon is intended to allow for members to write their own small fiefdoms within the Fleet Yards itself.

  1. Types of Positions — There are three types of positions available, Playable, Non-Playable, and Puppet.
    1. Playable positions are the standard positions available for play by any member meeting the rank requirements for that position. They can be used for joint or solo writing.
    2. Staff positions are certain senior roles at AFY that are held by staff members, and which they must give up when leaving their staff position. They do not count against staff members' character limits. They are used primarily for story updates that impact the entire sandbox, but staff members may also use them for joint-writing.
  2. Available Positions — There are both finite and non-finite positions at AFY. Finite positions are in various leadership roles at the system and station level, ranging from the admiral in charge of AFY itself to the commanders and captains leading the smaller stations within the system, and by definition only one member can hold these at a time. Non-finite positions are custom roles that are created on a member-by-member basis.
    1. Finite Positions are listed and may only be held by one member at a time. Members meeting the rank requirements may apply to hold a finite position with a completed character biography and short writing sample.
      1. Finite positions are divided into tiers, earned through both joint and solo writing on AFY. The tier system is laid out below. Members who take finite positions are expected to generally be willing to write with others, in particular if they choose a very important role. Consistent non-responsiveness to joint post requests may result in a member's character being taken out of that finite position.
      2. Non-finite positions are described in this guide and members meeting the rank requirements may apply to hold a non-finite position with a completed character biography, a short writing sample, and a description of the unit/office/team that they are proposing.
        1. Midshipmen and above may write as a Science, Engineering, or Medical specialist, or as fighter or runabout pilots.
        2. Lieutenants and above may lead Science, Engineering, or Medical teams, or direct minor facilities.
        3. Commanders and above may lead Science, Engineering, or Medical projects, or command minor outposts
        4. Fleet Captains and above may direct Science, Engineering, or Medical initiatives
        5. Midshipmen through Captains may write as generic “Staff Officers” assigned to AFY command or to an AFY station department.
        6. Fleet Captains and above may write as “Yard Board Members” assigned to AFY command.
  3. Character Ranks — Members may write characters up to their own fleet rank on AFY or to the cap of their position, whichever is lower. A character’s rank may not have a higher rank than their supervisor’s rank. (For example, if a member with the rank of commander has a character serving as Brahms Station Executive Officer, a member with the rank of rear admiral could only make a character with the rank of commander or lower for the Brahms Station Chief Medical Officer role, even though the cap of that position is captain.)
    1. Staff positions are exempt from this restriction, as a staff member with a lower rank may be granted position to write with a higher rank required for their position by the Intelligence Officer. (For example, a member with the rank of lieutenant commander serving as Deputy Operations Officer may be granted the ability to write as a Fleet Captain for one of the puppet positions.) This exemption is at the discretion of the Intelligence Officer.
  4. Number of Characters per Member — Members may only have one character at a time on AFY per tier. Members can still create additional supporting characters within their team/office/unit/station, but these should be cameo characters on the BFMS (if they get entries at all) and won’t be added to the AFY roster. (For example, if you have a Tier
