If you could write a character for DS9, who would it be?
- Thread starter WinterSoldier
- Start date
I kinda wish they'd held onto Melora Pazlar, though made her a Counsellor--not as "touchy-feely" as Troi, opting for a more tough love form of therapy.
Melora would have been nice to see more often. But I can't see her as counselor.
I would have a recurring Jem'Hadar.
It would have been interesting if a familiar character had been the Jem'hadar standing over Sisko in Siege of AR-558, ready to kill him.
They did it in the novels. And in one episode was a young Jem'Hadar. Unfortunately he was unable to adapt to a life on the station. And a Jemmie on DS9 without a Founder would be difficult.
I was thinking of one like Goran'agar. I know an unaddicted one was in the novels but I only read a few of the relaunch books.
Not a regular character, but a recurring group: the captain and crew of a very small Starfleet research vessel (say, crew of 20 or so) that operates out of DS9 - but not back by the end of most episodes like the Defiant. Instead, they only show up once or twice a season for leave, resupply, etc. And maybe we would have gotten a focus episode here and there about what they were doing where they were out and about. It and they would have been around from the start of the series - and possibly, the destruction of the ship and death of some of the crew could have been used as an emotional hammer on the viewer, at some point during the Dominion War.
She would have made a therapist a lot like Kira. "You're dreampt about WHAT? You're crazy. Now, get out of my office! Next patient!"
There's a Tellarite therapist in the Titan novels with interesting methods that are great!

Another idea I had. A human genetic augment working for Quark. Someone who says "Oh, I can't have any good jobs, can I? Well, the Ferengi are hiring, let's see if it bothers them."
I would have created a human male dabo boy who works at Quark. He is bi-sexual who has a thing for Quark and Leeta so Rom doesn't much like him. Quark doesn't feel the same in that way, but he also helps out with many of Quarks scheme's so he is also a con-artist as well.. I like the idea that for all of Quark's vice's he isn't a homophobe. Maybe because his and Rom's dad was gay and one of the reason he wasn't successful in business is because of homophobia.
