CADET BIOGRAPHY TEMPLATE

To gain a better understanding of the FRPG, how it works and what rules and regulations are to be observed, please refer to our FRPG On-Line Guide (OLG) and also check out the Intel section on the FRPG website so that you'll be aware of what changes the known universe experienced since the time of the TV series and movies (the FRPG is set about 40 years after the return of VOYAGER).

Advanced Command Training represents the pinnacle of training at Starfleet Academy, available only to the very best cadets that institution can provide. While the majority of cadets finish their training at Starfleet Academy, graduate, and are assigned to the Fleet, a select few opt to try out for Advanced Command Training (thus they retain the rank of Cadet while others graduate and are promoted to Ensign). Those who succeed complete a grueling year course, in which they learn not only how to improve the skills they need as officers, but (more importantly) to become leaders. The finale of Advanced Command Training is an intensely realistic holodeck simulation (which you will experience in training). What is the advantage of the Advanced Command Training route? Once they complete ACT, cadets graduate and are placed in the assistant department head positions in the fleet, regardless of their rank of Ensign.

---> Minimum age for ACT Applicants is 22. The reason for this is that the standard Starfleet Academy program which precedes ACT lasts 4 years and has a minimum registration age of 18.For those applicants who have chosen medicine, the minimum age is 26 due to the medical program taking 8 years instead of 4 like the other areas.

---> Races not allowed due to current regulations: Androids, Q, Borg, Holograms, Strong telepaths, Telekenetics, Shapeshifters and 'FRPG' races.

**Note: "FRPG races" (not including the races that are the applicant's own creation) are defined as follows: Races that do not occur within Star Trek canon (i.e. the TV shows) but were created within the framework of the FRPG for exclusive use in this game. These races include but are not limited to: Andarans, Locusta (including Phoenix Regime), Kem D'Neel, Sorel, Sossetans, Supervisors, Taton, Thal.

**No player entering ACT training will be permitted to choose one of the already created FRPG races for the creation of his/her Playing Character (PC). This limitation applies to pure-blooded as well as hybrid characters and includes the PC's immediate ancestors (parents, grand-parents).

To show you the diversity of "canon races" available, we've compiled a list of commonly known and/or frequently used races.

If you decide to create your own race, please fill out the Race Submission Form as well and add it to your application e-mail.

[/\] BACKGROUND HISTORY [/\]

---> Although tempting, the FRPG frowns on *super characters*, that is to say character possessing skills and/or abilities making them superior to others. The challange is to write about the characters surmounting the obstacles placed in their path. If these are too easily overcome, it makes the entire story and mission seem less impressive and reduces the experience for all involved.

--> This section is *not* identical with the short story you're also asked to provide.

ADDITIONAL QUESTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PUPOSES ONLY:

Have you ever been a member of the FRPG before? If yes, please list name(s) of previous character(s), unit last served on and approximate date of departure.
