Long ago, I wrote a little webpage with Star Trek stuff for Risus. (It's not there anymore, but there's still a link for it at Cumberland.) It was kinda ho-hum, I guess, and I don't miss it. Mostly, it made fun of Trek, because at the time, I didn't like it.
Since then, however, I have discovered that classic Trek makes the very toast upon which it rocks; in other words, I have an appreciation for it. In fact, this morning, before work, I watched an episode of the animated series, which I own on DVD. So while I'm not hardcore, I can give Trek its due love.
And I want to do that with some brand new Risus Trek material. Still parody, but a little different this time.
The other night I lay in bed writing up some characters, to see how well I could do it, and I generated these:
Capt. Alejandro J de la Torre
Starship Captain (4), Muy Suave (3), Doesn't...give...up! (3)
Mr. Kybok
