The Love, the hate, the chase, the rewards. What do you need to know about relationships and romance? Well, you\u2019re about to find out! The most likely place to meet, the best first date ever, what Holodeck program NOT to turn on. You get the drift, you\u2019ll be getting educated by the best Casanova in the ‘verse, I\u2019m talking about myself of course. Just in time for Valentine’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Where to start? I know a good place. I just want to remind everybody that a \u201crelationship\u201d is not only the kissing and loving we see most couples do. Through the years we\u2019ve come to think of Relationship as a bond between two people, however, most of the time a relationship gets confused with romance. The aforementioned loving and kissing. In fact, I have a relationship with everybody on board the vessel I serve on. A relationship is everything ranging from loving each other to hating each other, from professional friendship to disgust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that made sense. Although I do not love the transporter chief I do have a relationship with him. The relationship between me and the transporter chief is purely business, a professional relationship. He beams me up, I thank him for his work. Unless, of course, you count that Saturday night where we both had one Risian Sunrise too many. But I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vis a vis, Love?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kirk and Uhura’s legendary kiss wasn’t the start of a new relationship, but made for amazing television in the 60s<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
First things first, Love. ’cause everybody – needs somebody – to love does a Blues Brother dance<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahum\u2026 But how do we get this going? What should we do? Well in Star Trek it\u2019s like in the real world really. You have to do everything but not too much\u2026 and not too little. For example, I run into a marine that I find attractive, of course, she falls madly in love with me. You can\u2019t expect a simple marine to resist me, Professor Doctor Fritz von Stossenbaum Alkaseltzer<\/g>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how do we proceed from there? Like I said it\u2019s like the real world, you will need to get the attention of the other \u2018party\u2019. Since most first meetings take place in the Lounge you can offer her a drink, or she can offer you one. 24th century equality woohoo! It\u2019s a tough subject this one, since there is no right way of doing it, so I will sum up some ways people have tried in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love in the Lounge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After sitting down at the only table that still had an empty seat he found himself next to the most beautiful Tellarite female he had ever seen. He would have to make her his and he would do Anything to get there. Dozens and dozens of flowers he had send her, followed by love poems and bon bons, if that didn\u2019t get the Tellarite to love him then he didn\u2019t know what would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short this guy is like the average \u201cplayer\u201d that goes from bar to bar to pick up ladies, like we see a lot these days. Overloading them with gifts and poems, although it generally works it doesn\u2019t leave much room for RP, which off course is why you do it. This is like the Meeting your true love at the coffee dispenser, highly unlikely but used so bloody often. Remember, there are about 300 people on any given vessel (Defiant is not a vessel it\u2019s a Shuttlepod on steroids), that would leave about 30 people in every department. Perhaps you can find somebody in your own department?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love on Duty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
He was a mere ensign and she already was all the way up to Lieutenant. Only junior grade but still, he had to salute her, the Assistant Chief Medical. She was good at her job,<\/g> and had great bedside manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somehow he felt that she was attracted to him as well, in emergencies he was always the first she relied on, he was always her first pick on a surgery, even on autopsies. But he was afraid that if he would say something it would ruin everything they had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was attracted to him very much, indeed. If only he would\u2019ve gathered the courage to ask her. After a long dance around each other, not accepting the truth one finally tells the other how they feels<\/g> about each other. It\u2019s like a romantic bomb is exploding, they go out every day, every minute, every off duty<\/g> moment is spent holding hands and kissing. It was true love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This could form a lot of fun and interesting RP, because a relationship with somebody from your own department is still frowned upon, especially if the one is higher in rank and position as the other. Perhaps in the end they will even have to break up in the interest of their jobs. Although this is fun to play and a good relationship in the making. They like everything about each other\u2026 the only interesting RP would come out the path towards the relationship and not the relationship itself. For that you would need two people who are so totally different that they are almost alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposites Attract<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Man did she hate Engineers, they never fully fixed her plane and always sent in incompetent guys who just nearly passed basic Engineer courses and probably patched up their skills with several \u201cBasic Engineering for Newbies\u201d books written by Prof. Dr.<\/g> Fritz von Stossenbaum Alkaseltzer. She just hoped that they would send down a more capable engineer this time, one that actually knew what he was doing. Off course her prayers were answered, and then some. Once he started tinkering with her plane and indulged himself in small<\/g> talk, she felt her stomach turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He, on the other hand, liked her company, her stubbornness and everything else that made her so different. Being an outgoing guy, while she was more introverted. Keeping an open mind for all species and departments, while she had stereotypes about pretty much everything. He made her feel different, feel special. This was against everything she had made herself believe, he\u2019s an engineer. This can\u2019t be right! He should be incompetent, anti-social, not nice! But he continued being nice, and in the end<\/g> they put their differences aside. Perhaps the fact that he saved her life had something to do with it but still, it was a true \u201chate to love you\u201d relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To summarise, this is totally awkward and silly. Why would she fall in love with him? Why would he like an arrogant and anti-social marine fighter pilot? This leaves plenty of room for RP, denying the feelings, trying to not laugh at his jokes. On the other side of the equation, trying to win her for you and make her believe you\u2019re different. If it works out you have a great subplot and probably a great time writing. This version looks a lot like the next but is different in one key aspect, in <\/em>general<\/em><\/g> Marine Fighter Pilots and Engineers are not seen as mortal enemies, they work together. It\u2019s only because of personal preference that the \u201chate\u201d arises. Well if it\u2019s a common fact that you hate each other it becomes different, like so.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romeo & Juliet Syndrome<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
He was a Klingon and she was a Romulan, they were born and bred to believe that they hated each other. For generations the Klingons and Romulans had fought each other, they couldn\u2019t possibly be in love. But alas, there is nothing you can do about feelings\u2026 unless you\u2019re Vulcan. His Klingon Opera and her Romulan Poetry had brought them closer together, though they needed several visits to Sickbay after a great and romantic night together they wanted to make it work. They loved each other for who they were, not for their pointy ears or ridges on the forehead, it was true love, no disruptor or cloaking device could destroy or mask that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again in summary, Romulans and Klingons are taught to hate each other, like the theatric play by William Shakespeare. This works for several things very well, most commonly known though is the Marine loves Security Officer variation. Security and Marines are always rivaling each other in the lounge they sit as far away from each other as possible, they conduct in Bar fights and insults. In short They hate each other. Well put them together in a relationship will sure stir something in the departments they are in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loving Relationships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
That should give you a good bit of inspiration of the types of loving relationships you can have. The astute reader will have noticed that I only talked explicitly about gay relationships but then again they are no different than what’s described above. Because love transcends planets and species and genders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thin line between Love and Hate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kira never concealed her contempt for Kai Winn, which made their relationship all the more compelling to watch!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now for the Hatred, this is where the RP is made really. Although seen less on vessels people also hate each other. Officers and NCO\u2019s usually don\u2019t get along, Marines and Security is fire and water (with the marines thinking themselves as the fire\u2026 as it has the ability to destroy lot of things). Now let\u2019s see how to hate somebody adequately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fire and Water Hate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The most common hate, I hate you because you\u2019re Marine and you hate me because I\u2019m a fleeter<\/g>. It\u2019s not very hard to set up this kind of hate and there is not much to say about it either. Why do marines hate fleeters<\/g>? Well mainly because they think they\u2019re better than the Fleeters and in return<\/g> the fleeters<\/g> prove that they are not. It\u2019s really like the Romeo & Juliet Syndrome in the love scenario above, and could very well apply to characters of different species. Only, without the love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Past Hate <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Hate that is based on something that happened in the past. Your parents were killed by Klingons, you hate Klingons. Like the fire and water hate, this makes you blind for anything good the other person does. Although the other might not have the return feelings this hate can last through the ages. Or perhaps if you lost a brother in a hostage situation and you think the Marines could\u2019ve saved him. this would make you hate most marines, probably, I mean it doesn’t have to, but if you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Past hate can only be countered by future love, but since you won\u2019t let any of them close that\u2019s not about to happen in one or two days. Every day of hate requires three days of love to fix it (actual, scientific, maths there, people). This category also includes the hating of Ex-wives, stepfathers and the lot. So it doesn\u2019t have to happen in the past to be Past hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personality Hate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Just like the real world we all have personalities, you might not like some of them. Arrogance doesn\u2019t sit well with the one, while shyness aggravates the other. This doesn\u2019t pick certain groups, like the Romulans or the Marines, but it’s a more personal hate. And thus this could allow for better RP, it\u2019s never really clich\u00e9 since everybody deals with it another way and there’s a lot of different things that annoy different people. You can avoid, confront or ignore the problem. This is a lot like the Opposite Attracts love scenario, but instead of deciding to hug it out you decide to throw down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rivals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
You know for sure you\u2019re better than them, yet somehow you find yourself in a situation where you\u2019re proving it to them over and over again. If you\u2019re so sure you\u2019re better? Why do you have to prove it over and over again? It\u2019s really simple. Marines think they can handle any kind of dangerous situation better than the Security team. True as this might be the Security team would like to prove them wrong on several occasions. With the two Department heads fighting over who\u2019s best what do you think would be the effect on the junior officers? Rivals, very fun to write, but know when to stop. Or alternatively, how to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friendship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally the Friendship, the shades of grey, you don\u2019t love them with every fibre of your being but you don\u2019t hate them either. Friends, buddies, those who you poker with, those who you drink with. Well, I hope you get the drift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ol\u2019 Buddy, Ol\u2019 Pal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Friends from day one, dating back to their childhood or School\u2026 even Starfleet Academy counts. A buddy that you haven\u2019t seen for years or that you haven\u2019t missed for years. These kinds of friendships need a whole lot of background and have a good base for RP. What would you do for a friend that close? Risk your life? Give your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mutual Respect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there is such a thing, a professional and healthy friendship with another member of the crew. Them doing their job right and so are you. Hopefully. This will gain the respect of one and other. \u201cOh you\u2019re so skilled\u201d etc., etc., beware though, you don\u2019t want to make their spouses jealous\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common Grounds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The easiest and oldest form of friendship, the common grounds. \u201cHey you have miniature toy cars as well?!\u201d a hobby, a movie, a band, all solid bases for a friendship. While this doesn\u2019t open up a whole lot of opportunities to talk about something else it is a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope this lesson was useful for those who dare march upon the path of Love\u2026 Hate\u2026 or Friendship. Having relationships with other members of the crew takes the entire RP experience to a whole new level. Trust me a Simm gets a whole of a lot better if you just add some love and hate into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
