i feel like people keep interchanging MAINS, EXCLUSIVES, and AFFILIATES and haphazardly using them without really recognizing what they mean, so here's a brief description of the differences.
MAINS are the primary group of roleplay blogs you interact with on a regular basis. you might choose to prioritize them in terms of replies or ask memes, or focus on their dynamics more often than you do others.
EXCLUSIVES are the only version of that character you will write with. as an example, if you add a canon superman or a princess jasmine to your exclusives, it means you will not write with or follow any duplicates of those characters.
** this can also include FACECLAIM EXCLUSIVES, where you won't follow duplicate faceclaims of your favorite blogs. weird example, but if you're writing with a blog using tom hanks as their faceclaim, you might say you're faceclaim exclusive with that blog and refuse to write with or follow any other blogs using tom hanks.
AFFILIATES are blogs with extensive ties to your blog's canon. their characters are weaved into your storyline to such a degree that you cannot separate them from one another. maybe they're your primary or single ship partner. maybe you created the characters together. maybe they're from the same piece of media and you want to establish their significant ties to your muse and their story. this is a step up from exclusives, and their url is often linked in your pinned or placed on your rules page.
if looks could kill, it would have been us instead of him. - Pike
The transmission had been broken, but playing back the recording what felt like a loop of times that had the message laser burned into her memory; and after conferencing with her reporting officer and eventually Captain Pike โ determining this a grave enough matter that further investigation proved warranted. The deep, subspace transmission Nyota had received while in the middle of her Gamma shift just the night prior, was the gathering of Klingon ships on a fourth and distant moon of a baron gas giant located on the most remote edges of Federation space.
What Nyota had not anticipated was assignment to Captain Pikeโs covert away mission. Uhuraโs Klingon was widely unmatched by most save for Klingons themselves, and she had also trained in several forms of martial arts and combat, because she found this a more useful application of her time at Starfleet Academy than aimless running and toning on machines and programs in a gym; however she has never had to exhibit the practical application of either.
Though she was Starfleet to her core and she believed in their ideals and she believed in her Captain; what she did not believe of herself to be true until this fateful mission was that she could take the life of another being. Naive was something she never was nor had she ever believed the possibility unrealistic, but given her chosen field and how fresh from the academy sheโd been - never would she have guessed herself primed for such a task.
The Lieutenantโs Captain clearly felt otherwise.
This had given her both a sense of pride, and even more importantly a keen and staunch sense of duty, because she did not want to give Captain Pike a reason to think he may have misjudged the assessment of his comms officer.
The away team was small, only four, and had shuttled to the small outer moon while the Enterprise lay hidden on the other side of the planet, hidden from Klingon sensors by the large magnetic field surrounding the planet as a result of ongoing electrical and ion storms throughout the planetโs atmosphere. Conversely, it meant the away team would be temporarily cut from communications with the ship.
This had been functional, right up until it wasnโt.
What they had come to realize the Klingons had discovered, on this miniscule moon, was uncovered dilithium veins in ancient and entirely frost covered mountains and were covertly mining the crystals while taking advantage of the planetโs magnetic field distorting sensors on long range scans. Their mission parameters were clear; assessing Klingon operations, obtaining evidence to present to Starfleet high command, abscond back to the shuttle to rendezvous with the Enterprise. What no oneโs knowledge allotted for was the Klingons having set black market Romulan traps armed with trilithium resin based explosives taking out the two other ensigns assigned to the away team. The Captain was able to dispatch three of the four Klingon patrolmen, but the fourth had gotten the drop on Pike, and a strange sense of both calm and urgency gripped her as tightly as Uhura gripped her phaser rifle; Nyota began to open fire with an adrenaline-fueled-accuracy that she did not yield from until the only one of the two moving was Captain Pike.
There was a suffocating quiet as she looked down at a now lifeless Klingon. Sorrow wasnโt the sensation she felt, but hollowness followed by an abstract sense of satisfaction knowing that feeling was an indicator to her that killing and death were not something she aligned with outside of the most extreme circumstances; and now Uhura saw clearly what those circumstances entailed. Nyota came unfroze from her existential reverie at the sound of Pikeโs voice, and she knew the gallows-quip was to meant exactly for that.
The Lieutenantโs attention was back and honed, she repressed the preceding moments to be in the present one, duty sidestepped her Captainโs words and assessed him up and down in search of fatal injury;
โCaptain,โ her voice steady as she could manage, โ โ are you alright? The shuttle is just over this hill, but we have to go now โฆ they wonโt let us leave alive, not when they know weโre with Starfleet.โ

โ I thought you were the ghost. โ
โ You got to figure it out. I'm not always gonna be here to help you. โ
โ Well, I guess that answers the old "if I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario. โ
โ It's like we've forgotten who we are. Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers. โ
โ You're the one who doesn't belong. Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early. โ
โ We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. โ
โ You were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it. I'm sorry. โ
โ Don't make me take you down again. Sit down! โ
โ It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh? โ
โ You're sitting in the best-kept secret in the world. Nobody stumbles in here. Nobody stumbles out. โ
โ I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific. โ
โ We'll find a way. We always have. โ
โ Okay, now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world. โ
โ We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. โ
โ You're asking me to hang everything on an almost. โ
โ I'm asking you to trust me. โ
โ This world was never enough for you, was it? โ
โ Don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. โ
โ Mankind was born on Earth, it was never meant to die here. โ
โ We're just here to be memories for our kids. โ
โ Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future. โ
โ You have no idea when you're coming back. No idea at all! โ
โ Don't make me leave like this. Come on! Don't make me leave like this! โ
โ I love you. Forever. You hear me? I love you forever, and I'm coming back. โ
โ We're going to be spending a lot of time together. We should learn to talk. โ
โ Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings. โ
โ We'll be waiting for you when you get back. A little older, a little wiser, but happy to see you. โ
โ You don't think nature can be evil? โ
โ Why are you whispering? They can't hear you. โ
โ This gets to me. This. Millimeters of aluminum, that's it, and then nothing out there for millions of miles won't kill us in seconds. โ
โ Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system? โ
โ You can't just think about your family. Now you have to think bigger. โ
โ I told you to leave me! Why didn't you? โ
โ One of us was thinking about the mission! โ
โ I was trying to do the right thing! โ
โ Oh, we are not prepared for this. โ
โ You eggheads have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop. โ
โ Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but it can't run backwards, it just can't. โ
โ When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe. โ
โ I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory. Reality's different. โ
โ There's nothing here for us. โ
โ So it would be a real good time for you to come back. โ
โ I didn't mean to intrude. It's just that I've never seen you in here before. โ
โ I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time. โ
โ Are you calling my life's work nonsense? โ
โ Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something. โ
โ Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet. โ
โ I let you all down. โ
โ Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face. โ
โ I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but after so long, I had none. โ
โ I just want to know if you left me here to die. I just have to know. โ
โ There are some things that aren't meant to be known. โ
โ We can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. โ
โ Panic won't help. We just have to keep working, same as ever. โ
โ Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say. โ
โ A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death. Our survival instinct is our single greatest source of inspiration. โ
โ When I left Earth, I thought I was prepared to die. โ
โ Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. โ
โ You fucking coward. โ
โ Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your family. โ
โ Dad's not coming back. He never was coming back. โ
โ You're gonna save everybody? โ
โ He left us here to die. โ
โ Don't judge me. You were never tested like I was. Few men have been. โ
โ You're feeling it, aren't you? The survival instinct. That's what drove me. it's what drives all of us. โ
โ I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. โ
โ The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind. โ
โ No, don't go. Don't go, you idiot. โ
โ They didn't bring us here to change the past. โ
โ I don't care who describes it, there is no way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad. โ
โ Is this really what it was like? โ
โ I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started. I want to know where we are. Where we're going. โ
โ Nobody believed me. But I knew you'd come back. โ
โ No parent should have to watch their own child die. โ
