A Siskoid (to once again explain my handle) is a different and somewhat skewed version of Sisko seen in the show (like Klingon Sisko, or Mirror Universe Sisko). In the spirit of that handle, I propose a series of articles based on the "-oids" of other characters (I'll get to Sisko in due time, don't worry). Tell me what you think. These are not dream cards, but rather guesses as to what Personnas and AU personnel we might or might not see in the future. I try to be as complete as possible, so a lot of these will NEVER make it as a card, but you never know!
I'll start with something small (no Data or Picard until I'm good and ready!)... How about:
WESLOIDS
Only one exists for now and that's
1-Premiere Wesley: He's the baseline character and not an -oid. Note that I'm not going to mention Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher since he's pretty much like this guy here.
But what else is there?
2-1st Season Wesley: Wesley as a naive(but isn't he always?) CIVILIAN. While there is no good reason for wanting such a toned-down version of the Mr. Super-card we have now, I'd just love to see 1st season cards made. (Maybe as a premium set?) All these bridge crew characters acting slightly (or sometimes grossly) out-of-character would be a hoot!
3-Cadet Wesley: Wesley in cadet uniform doesn't add much to the game. He might have some Treachery/Honor deal à la Tom Paris, or some super-Navigation type skill. He could be the only Fed able to work with nick Locarno.
4-Parallel Wesley: Probably the coolest Wesley ever seen, the Tactical officer from "Parallels" would make a great multi-skilled SECURITY personnel! I've seen a number of dream cards based on this concept and they've all been great. He's also a likely candidate to be made by Decipher: 1) There are currently no Wesloids in the game and 2) Tactical=Battle expansion. We'll probably see him in BaH!
5-Wesley the Traveler: Not the coolest episode-wise, but the one with the most potential. How fun would it be to have a personnel who could propel himself in space without a ship? It would certainly be a unique ability!
6-Wesley from "Yesterday's Enterprise": Nothing much here. While the episode in primo AU, I find that it doesn't yield too much in the way of very different personnel. Unless you want to give them all +1 WEAPONS or something like that...
7-Wesley the Fop: From Barclay's holographic fantasies. No material here. (Someone jokingly said that he could nullify Wesley Gets the Pie - a dreamcard on Decipher's site.)
8-Adult Wesley: From "Hide & Q". Riker-Q gives Wesley his fondest wish: to become a doofus... I mean a man. Wow, this Wesley would suck. Loses Youth fer sure. And we've got enough Q-nullifiers as it is.
Well, there you have it. A modest beginning, but a beginning nonetheless. While Wesley doesn't have as many available Personnas as the others, but then he was only on the show some 4 years. But still, he's more likely to have another card than Data (who's been done to deactivation). Besides, we all want our Wesley Gets the Point cards to become more useful right?
