The Stargate Destiny Forum

Well the past week or so, myself and Geoff have been working on the Stargate Destiny Forum. This contains information on Destiny, as well as boards for you to ask questions about it and to comment on other posts. The forum has been customised and features a blue, black and purple theme with custom background, banner and buttons. You aren't requires to register to the forum to post but I have added 29 avatars for registered users to choose from, all off the actors we have in mind to play our characters. So make sure to vist the forum and remember to register if you.

Right thats all for now, I shall post up another article on the progress of the website and how I'm making it soon.

Creating the Destiny Website

Hey guys, Aaron Percival here. I'm the guy responsible for designing and creating the website among other jobs but I'm here to talk to your about creating the website today. The first thing I had to do when designing the layout for the site was to take in acount what the website was to be about and since it was to be about a spin-off to Stargate SG-1 basically, I design it with that in mind.

The menu needed an episode guide, information about the crew and I just add on the relivate information like information on the characters, links to forums and this blog. Once I have decided what links to use I set about creating the images. All my websites have the same sort of ideas like those menu images and I just used the blogs banner to create those, the main hassle I had was creating the banner to fit the layout all together as I had all the coding done.

Well that's it for the moment as I'm tired but I'll explain more later.

The Characters...

Every show needs good characters, right? Well, I think it's about time I made a post about the characters here. Below are their names, and their roles on Stargate: Destiny.

- Main Characters -

Brigadier General Peter Barrows
The Destiny's CO (commanding officer). He spends most of his time on the bridge, and rarely leaves the vessel.

Lt. Colonel Alexandra Hemmingway
Originally the XO (executive officer) of the Destiny, she was picked by General Barrows to lead the first mission in the Caelum Galaxy, and now serves as leader of Destiny-1.

Commander Tenyris Nalar
A Talloran, Commander Nalar and his crew were rescued by the Destiny and her crew only minutes after the Destiny's arrival in the Caelum Galaxy. He now acts as a guide to the crew, and serves as second in command of Destiny-1.

Jonas Quinn
All avid Stargate fans know about Jonas Quinn, only we see him ten years older here. He accepted a position among the crew as political tensions eased on Langara. He now serves as a civilian scientist on Destiny-1.

Lieutenant Takeshi Hasegawa
A brilliant Japanese-American officer, he is the Destiny's chief engineer. He headed up the design team for the Destiny project in 2010, and now serves on Destiny-1 as well.


- Recurring Characters -

Major Nick Connors - The Destiny's CAG (Commander of the Air Group) and a great fighter pilot.

Doctor Elizabeth Lancaster - The vessel's chief medical officer. She will occasionally lead the Destiny's medical team.

Doctor Teleri (Sek'vesh) - A Tok'ra hyperdrive speicalist who works in engineering with Lieutenant Hasegawa.

Major Jake Williams - Leader of Destiny-2.

These are all pretty short descriptions, but don't despair, Aaron (aka Elite Anubis guard), who is my Script Supervisor, also has some great talent with web design, and is currently designing a Stargate: Destiny website. There will be much more information on characters and episodes there. Although I don't know when the site will be launched, I can say it will be soon. I just thought I should drop in to give another update, so there you have it.

I also should mention that the Stargate: Destiny production team has gained another member in the last month. Our new member will be occasionally writing an episode, and will do beta reading.

Until next time,
Geoff
