Star Trek RPG: Vice Admiral Fowler Garrett's House on Earth
I designed my Star Trek character's house on Earth with TinkerCad. Check out images and the complete character.

Dr. Moldak, Chief Medical Officer - USS Enterprise I
This is the other character I play in our Star Trek: The Role-Playing FASA campaign.
Dr. Moldak
(mol-dak)
Benzite, Male, Age: 50
Rank: Commander
Str: 46
End: 66
Int: 99
Dex: 61
Cha: 31
Luc: 01
Psi: 01
Benzites come from the planet Benzar and have two opposable thumbs on each hand. Benzites of the same "geostructure" look identical. They've done a lot of genetic tinkering with their DNA to enable them to survive. A breathing device is worn on the chest and when taking a deep breath mist is visible.
Dr. Moldak is a human medical specialist (90) and a Exobiologist (91) as well as a surgeon (84) and Pathologist (71).
To his great shame he spent 2.5 years as a midshipman unable to pass a cadet cruise. He never talks about this willlingly and only with great shame. Though, this time was very helpful for him to learn the culture of Starfleet and humans. Command recognized this and gave him the time he needed. But he thought he was failing and at one point almost resigned.
After he began his tours he applied himself harder than ever to his job and won four Outstanding and one Excellent OERs from his commanders before being assigned to the Enterprise.
He has won eight medals including the Purple Heart with his hightest medal being The Legion of Merit.
He plays the Benzite Water Flute (8) and dabbles with sculpting (10) and writing (22). He likes Greek Mythology (3) and cooking (10).
He has never married or had children. (Though, he has donated DNA to the geostructure three times, so in reality he could have hundreds of children.) Beyond kid stuff, he was in a serious relationship with a Vulcan female (another officer) for several years. Their focus on their careers split them up. Only shipmates he had at the time or close friends know about this chapter of his life. He still loves her deeply.
He doesn't become angry easy. Usually, if he gets angry it's because of injustice or the inability to help someone who is injured or sick. His most common reaction to difficult situations is depression. He is mostly happy and secure. Though, if something upsets him he's most likely to withdraw not enter into conflict.

Parents
Father - Garrett,
David James (Human, Australian Descent)
Mother
- Lyinneran (Deltan)
His father made a fortune investing in bio-techs. He pooled
all his money and resources and purchased the mineral rights for a huge portion
of the Ahnert-Rohlfs Belt in
the Independence Core System. He formed Garrett Rare Earths and began mining
the claim himself about two years before Fowler was born.
Healthy and extraordinarily active at 82, David still heads
Garrett Rare Earths which has grown into a sizable corporation worth roughly
3.8 billion credits. It is well known that David wishes Fowler to resign
Starfleet, so he may take over the reins of Garrett Rare Earths. He’s also
suggested that if Fowler doesn’t want to run the company, he should enter politics.
After the divorce, Fowler’s mother returned to her home
world. She held several diplomatic positions as well as several corporate ones.
She now lives in semi-retirement doing consulting work as a telepath for DelaGen
Corp.

Starfleet Academy Leadership Structure
Ex astris, scientia -
"From the stars, knowledge."
- Starfleet Academy Motto
- Starfleet Academy Motto
Superintendent:
Usually held by a Vice Admiral. Duties: The equivalent of a college president. He oversees all of the school's functions.
Commandant of Cadets:
Usually held by a Captain. Duties: The Commandant of Cadets is responsible for the professional development and day-to-day activities of all Cadets. His title equates to the Dean of Students at a civilian university.
Academic Dean:
Held by a civilian. Duties: Oversees the academic program and the faculty.
Board of Advisors:
Usually retired Admirals and sitting politicians. The Federation President chooses 6 members. The Federation Vice President chooses 3 members. Starfleet C-in-C chooses 2 members. The Federation Council Pro Tempore chooses 4 members. There a total of 15 members.
The Academy command structure is never really explained, so I took the structure from the US Naval Academy. I use this when playing FASA Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game.

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Teaser Photo
Is this a teaser photo for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? I've seen it around a bit. Pretty cool if it is.

Leonard Nimoy - The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
I love Leonard Nimoy. Seriously, I do. He's an amazing actor, writer and director.
The work he did to improve Star Trek III and Star Trek IV was simply incredible. His rescue of Three Men and a Baby is Hollywood legend.
But a singer? Not so much.
I know lots of people give him grief for The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, but TV in the 50's and 60's was a launching ground for singing careers.
For me, it combines two great loves: Leonard Nimoy and The Hobbit.
I've heard worse songs and seen worse music videos. Really, I have.
I've heard worse songs and seen worse music videos. Really, I have.
But, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins is so entertaining. How can it be bad?
Anyway, have you ever heard William Shatner sing, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?

Set Pictures from 'The Wolverine'
Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. I remember thinking no actor could pull off Wolverine. Yes, I was wrong.
Check out the details of The Wolverine coming next year.
German 'Tarzan' Motion Capture Trailer
I love everything Tarzan. I own all the books. I've read about half of them and I'm planning on reading them all. I've watched every movie.
I even sought out the first silent film serial. But, this?

Concept Art from Shelved 'Jurassic Park 4"
My love of concept art and movies never disappoints. Here's wild concept art from an abandoned vision of Jurassic Park 4.
It seems the story involved human-dinosaur cops.

Asteroid Mining
I love asteroid mining. Seriously, I'm obsessed with it.
I've bought video games solely because the words, "mine asteroids," were on the box. When I create characters in science fiction settings I almost always have them be asteroid miners. Or least they grew up with asteroid mining parents.
Yes, I know this is odd. But, asteroid mining is so cool!
Now, James Cameron is on board. And I couldn't be happier.
So, to the powers that be: GET ON THIS!!
