About the Characters

These are my own views of the lead characters in the series. I make no apology for them being a little cynical, but they are the way I see them and it is their foibles that makes it possible for us to write about them 'In Character'. If you disagree then you are quite welcome to tell me.

Captain Kathryn Janeway
(Kate Mulgrew)
Captain

Commander Chakotay
(Robert Beltram)
Second Officer

Lt Commander Tuvok
(Tim Russ)
Security Officer

Loyal to her crew, reasonable considering her position. But some times appears to be weak on discipline, unless worked up. Not that she gets that way very often.
Generally follows Star Fleet doctrines, to point of illogical and inaccurate assumptions.
Seeks advice, but determined once on her own direction.
Love affair alluded to before arriving Delta Quadrant.
Mentally strong but has shown occasional glimpses of humanity, accepts risks.
Very much explorer scientist, but does not like the outdoors, bit of a conflict?

Aledged Red Indian blood. No sign of racial wisdom, except occasional mutterings over animal gods.
Nothing much happens to him, sort of stable spiritual counsellor to the Captain. So laid back he almost makes her look human!
Secret passions for the Captain.
Ex-Maqui ships captain. Difficult to see him getting worked up enough to be a rebel!
How he manages to form a relationship with Seven of Nine by the end of the series, can only be the result of Paramounts derranged logic 

Ships resident Vulcan. Of obscure vintage.
Every Star Ship should have one!
Straight up and down Star Fleet. Follows rules without question.
More scientist than security/weapons officer.
Guaranteed to be impossibly calm in all situations.
Tries to tame the Captains enthusiasum.

Ensign/Lietenant Tom Paris
(Robert Duncan O'Neil)
Conn Officer

B'Elanna Torres
(Roxanne Dawson)
Engineering Officer

Ensign Harry Kim
(Garrett Wang)
Ops Officer

Typical flyer. Not the most intelligent person aboard, suffers badly from flights of fancy and imagination.
Occaisionally boy friend to B'Elanna Torres.
'Friend' to Harry Kim, along the lines of a bad influence to shy child.
Appears to have no temper traits, no nerves.
If he is supposed to be Star Fleets best pilot, Voyager handles like a pregnant cow. It is always being shot at and hit!
Superficially interested in late twentieth century. If knowledge is so great why is Delta Flyer using touch panels for general control?

Human/Klingon
Very intelligent engineer.
Very well and articulately spoken, little slang.
Ex-Maqui, and looks the part, with temper tantrums and feelings for what is happening.
One of three characters to display genuinely natural emotions. Pity she is the only one where they ought to be genuine
I think she would get bored with Tom Paris.
Good for techno babble.
Has hit and miss relationship with Seven of Nine. Seemingly appreciates her intelligence, but distrusts her origins. Forming a certain level of friendship with her as they are pushed together.

Very typical Officer Cadet.
A wimp!
Dim to point of stupidity, follows rules. No independence in him.
No individuality in his actions.
If he does anything, it goes wrong. One of life's victims, he could get knocked down by a bus in the next street!
No character traits, totally anonymous. Females aren't interested in him because he is as dull as ditch water.
Plays clarinet.
Thinks he is in love with Seven of Nine, the Delaney twins or any other female.
Make weight to say things like, 'shields 80%' and of course self inflicted accidents.
The Captain is surprisingly tolerant and protective of this subaltern.

Doctor
(Robert Picardo)
Ships Doctor

Neelix
(Ethan Phillips)
Caterer/Morale Officer

Seven of Nine
(Jeri Ryan)
Astrometrics

A Hologram
One of the few that has a character! All very phoney considering what he is!
He possess a form of either straight satirical humour, or as straight man for Seven of Nine.
Competent.
Has a fondness for Seven of Nine. Perhaps because she is showing some independence of thought?
Supposedly teaching Seven of Nine how to cope in the galaxy of humanity. Just as well as most of the rest of the crew are rather shy of this necessary trait.
Caustic about Tom Paris's medical abilities, but accepts his assistance without question.

Talaxian
One of the few aliens that looks as though he may actually be alien! Certainly generally different to every body else Voyager meets.
Seemingly impossibly cheerful.
Has shown some genuine emotions.
Genuinely average intelligence.
Apparently average cook, but accepted because nobody wants to do the job? Wild dress sense!

Human/Borg
Rescued from the soulless Borg she could be forgiven for being bland. But she has developed a strong and independent character, that is periodically turned down hard by the writers as they realise they are going too far in relation to rest of crew!
Parents seemed too interested in what they were doing to care for her properly.
Borg assimilation led to massive education blitz, it made her very intelligent and a perfectionist. She shows genuine surprise when she fails to be as perfect as she wants to be.
Humour is innocent of any forethought
Stands very straight, even when relaxed. Shows off her body well (clever)
Certain programmes have removed her implants, a sad mistake, makes her appear rather less than she really is, she seems to automatically lose all the humanity she possesed. Her hair doesn't suit her when unrestrained.
