SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?: Gratuitous wealth is unseemly and poverty is unthinkable. The Federation provides for its citizens needs far above a basic standard. Credits are used primarily for requisitioning and trade with other societies. As a Starfleet officer, Lorca does earn credits for his service, so currency is not unfamiliar to him. But it isn't and has never been his motivation. Substandard living conditions unnerve him, after what the famine led to on Tarsus IV. People pushed to their limits do things they can never take back.
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?: Lorca studied the usual range of subjects required to comport oneself competently on a space vessel, majoring in Command and Control.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?: His life was relatively unexceptional for a Starfleet officer and untouched by tragedy until the famine and massacre on Tarsus IV. He intended to stay the course of his life, remaining a security officer, until he considered settling down there with his girlfriend. Losing her and two thousand others changed his mind. He doubled down on Starfleet and pursued command, dedicating himself to the protection of others in a much greater capacity.
DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S: Well it's simply gotta be "Welcome to the Black Parade". Nothing I can do about that.
NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN: In descending order of how often he indulges them: Alcohol, especially from Earth. Casual sex, one night stands or friends with benefits. He's upfront about not wanting a relationship. Lastly, cigars.
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?: Southern gin. A refreshing Tom Collins during a hot summer.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?: Over easy.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?: Katrina Cornwell's. They've known each other a long time and have an ongoing sexual relationship. Even if she were particularly dirty, he'd have no doubt it was from hard work done the right way.
