Hello folks! Yarnek has skills, attributes, and icons, so it's time to work on his lore. It's your job to decide which characteristics you want to include, and write lore to match. Lore submissions for Yarnek are official open!
Because you weren't satisfied with not getting to draft lore in last year's Will of the Collective, we made the decision to allow you to do so for the mission and the personnel. Now that we've got lore for Excalbia, we're going to do the same for Yarnek, and opening lore submissions to all of you. Think of yourselves as freelancers for the Creative Team; you'll write lore, and they will curate your submissions and choose some to advance to a vote. Paddy and his team work in mysterious ways involving, so I can't speak to their process; if you have questions, I'm sure he will answer.
In any case, your job this week is to write lore for our personnel. As a general rule, we try to include both a personnel's species and their gender in the lore. In this particular case, Yarnek's lore also needs to mention the planet "Excalbia." There should be three-full lines for lore, so here is a rough guide for how much space you have:
1. Your lore must contain the planet "Excalbia" in that context. This was a requirement the community accepted in order to get the chance to make two cards. You can determine how the planet's name is used, but it has to be used in term of the planet itself. And it has to be "Excalbia" - variants such as "Excalbian" can be there too, but don't count as a planet reference.
Other than this requirement, you're free to be as creative and wild as you like. You can use this opportunity to give Yarnek characteristics, if you like - maybe he's the chairman of a stamp collecting club. Of course, those will need to survive curation!
Each of you will be allowed to submit one (1) lore for consideration by the Creative Team. Submissions will be open through Saturday, March 2nd. At that point, the Creative Team will comb through them while vote on Yarnek's image options, and bring back choices for us to vote on after that vote. This means that, unlike previous challenges, there will be a delay between nominations and votes.
So, in summary:
- You may nominate one (1) lore submission by replying to this thread.
- The submissions must include a reference to the planet "Excalbia".
- Popularity isn't a factor in nominations, so repeating a previous nomination as-is won't help.
- From the list of nominations, a maximum of fifteen (15) options will be offered for a vote, as curated by the Creative Team.
Have fun, and let us know if there are any questions!

Example Lore Length wrote:Violent, unstable pianist embodied in the human Benjamin Sisko during Jadzia Dax's zhian'tara. By 2286, he had murdered a total of three people.If your lore isn't that length or less, give or take a wide character or two, it will likely either not be advanced to the vote or edited so it will fit. Outside of length, there is only one requirement for your submission:
1. Your lore must contain the planet "Excalbia" in that context. This was a requirement the community accepted in order to get the chance to make two cards.
