STT Originals: Pitch Thread

in Make It So!
Ben's comments on the recent Timelines Talks show included a request for pitches for new crew original to Timelines. These would be along the lines of Aviator Yar, Prince Bashir, etc.- crew that never appeared in Star Trek. To be a hit with players, they should have an excellent character concept, excellent art, and a decent blend of stats.
With those in mind, here are some suggestions:
-Protomorphosis Saru: a de-evolved version of the Discovery officer, reflecting the unusual stages of development of his species.
-Jazz Combo Kim: a version of Harry Kim if he had become a professional jazz clarinetist instead of a Starfleet officer (he was in the Julliard Youth Symphony, after all!).
-Tal Shiar Garak: what if, instead of forming a secret armada of ships with the Obsidian Order in 2371, the Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order merged? Fan favorite Garak becomes an even more fearsome spy when backed by TWO insidious secret police organizations!
-Emergency Hologram Lore: what if Soong, rather than Zimmerman, were the eccentric genius behind the EMH program?
-Apollo Program Archer: if Archer had access to the Enterprise-D's holodeck, would he have reenacted humanity's early space exploration successes?

Actually, I would like to see assimilated versions of all main bridge crew. That would be cool.
Klingon Bashir - what if Julian joined Odo and Sisko to uncover the Klingon Changeling?
TOS Uniform Tilly - what if she didn’t join Michael on the trip to the future and got assigned to the Enterprise?
Admiral Chekov - he wouldn’t be nearly as old as McCoy in the 2360s (to the point where a current photo of Walter Koenig would work) and could look pretty darn good in a TNG S1/S2 admiral’s uniform.
Officer Kirk - Shatner during his TJ Hooker years
Professor Picard - Professor X
Quantum Archer - Archer as a temporal agent (kinda already exists with Humanoid Figure)
Undead Burnham - Burnham as a zombie
Psi-Cop Chekov - A telepathic version of Chekov
Principal Quark - Quark as a school administrator rather than a bartender
Bartender Jadzia
Sisko “for hire”
Oh my! Psy-Cop Chekov. Please and thank you!
In that vein, would it be too much to ask for Star Trek meets Gargoyles cards?
Xanatos Riker
Demona Troi
Coldstone Worf
Data Puck
Just extending my thoughts with some potential traits...
In addition to Prime Lorca...
Prisoner Janeway, from Orange is the New Black
Librarian Odo, from The Librarians
Guardian Number One, from The Librarians
Barrister Scotty, from Loaded Weapon 1
Crime Boss Kirk, also from Loaded Weapon 1
Informant Guinan, also from Loaded Weapon 1
Young Amanda Grayson, from Not Another Teen Movie
Reading Advocate Geordie, from Reading Rainbow
Temporal Agent Kurros, from Seinfeld (ok, this is a HUGE stretch)
Investigator Archer, from NCIS New Orleans
Alien Controlled Noonien Soong, Brent Spiner from Independence Day
Board Game Enthusiast Wesley Crusher, from TableTop
Marine Biologist Seven of Nine, from Psych
Security Guard O'Brien, from a different episode of Psych
Early 21st Century Humanity Observer Q2, from almost every episode of Psych (there's got to be a way to shorten that name)
King Picard, from Robin Hood: Men in Tights
^^^ This one
I was surprised when I noticed it wasn't already mentioned.
Great one!
Prisoner, Chef, Caregiver, Human
CMD / DIP / MED
Major Walter ("Meth or no Meth you still gotta floss") Picard
and Pianist Data
Reading Rainbow La Forge is brilliant.
That and unlike most things on this list (which I am 100% on board for all of them) WRG would most likely not need to worry about getting reading rainbow rights.

Perhaps any NASA logos could be artfully covered with tools, scientific apparatus, or the like?
I see your Reading Rainbow Geordi and raise you a Reading Rambo Geordi.
Other ideas inspired by non-Trek roles:
Resistance Leader T’Pol (Stargate SG-1)
Detective O’Brien (Law Abiding Citizen)
Lounge Singer Kirk (pick any 1970s talk/variety show)
WWII Pilot Scotty (real life)
Dr. Quark (Invisible Man)
Diner Owner Jadzia (Becker)
Desert Comber Tuvok (Spaceballs)
Hacker Tuvok (SeaQuest DSV)
Prisoner Neelix (Bad Santa)
Lawyers Kirk and Odo (Boston Legal)
Vampire Tucker (inspired by Stargate Atlantis)
Therapist Worf (Castle)
Mercenary Barclay (The A-Team)
Teacher Seven (Boston Commons)
Folk Singer Spock (The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins)
I can't believe I forgot Mercenary Barclay!
I had no idea that was Tim Russ in Spaceballs. I would absolutely LOVE to see one of those uniforms is the game as some devious human civilization.
I forgot Terri Hatcher was in Becker. Put the Trill spots on her and that would be brilliant.
Gene Roddenberry as Captain Robert April.
Love TAS / Disco and I'd love if WRG invested in Lower Decks for the future too (rather WRG make that occur). If it appeared on-screen in Trek I'm all about it.
You guys can also pitch ideas for made-up ships too
As much as I would very much like a 'Charlie X' card, I'd settle for a 'Charles X' (professor x) card if it was at all possible.

Cricket Picard? I'm in!
That's pretty awesome. I would love to see something that came from a player make it into the game. I mean, if they could make a card from one of those pictures you've posted with Trek actors and keep you in as "background art" I would be all for it. Hell... I'd probably risk Tuesday packs for the first player to make it into the game.
Speaking of Blunt Talk, what about this one?
Academy Instructor Uhura (her future posting before ST6 intervened) could be interesting too.
How about this?
