So I have developed a new character, Gul Almar Da'heel, a prominent member of the Cardassian military and a very famous soldier who actually believes in a code of honor, such as not metaphorically stabbing people in the back. Problem is I need ideas as to what he commands, say in 2370 when he is promoted to Gul. Any ideas?

Is it his fist command?

Then I'd say something small. A Hideki.

Yes it is. But he would get a new command sometime in 2370.

Okay then.

Any ideas as to a date: 2312, 2322, or 2332?

Didn't you just say it was in 2370 like three times?

I'm sorry I should have been more specific. Yes when he gets his own command in the Cardassian military. When I asked for 2312, 2322, or 2332, I meant to ask as to what the birth date would be. I apologize I should have been more specific.

Hmm, I'm not sure. How old is he when he gets his first command?

Well most Hideki class vessels are commanded by dals, which is the equivalent of a Lieutenant commander, which according to a system i found online, are at an average age of 33, maybe younger

Then just to pluck a number out of the air entirely at random, I'd hazard a guess that he was born in 2337.

Ah. Okay then. That'd mean hed be 33 when he gets his own command in 2370.

Oh yes, so it would!

Lol nice

I was going to suggest a rubric: determine what age you want your own character to be, subtract that number from 2370, and consider the result as a year of birth.

Huh, I wish I had thought of that. It makes a lot more sense than my random number guessing approach.

That's why I said I was going to say it, but didn't (except that I did.)
