CHARACTER NAME: Amanda Perry CANON: Stargate Universe CANON POINT: Post-1x16 (with a year of CRAU 'canon') CRAU: Yes AGE: 34 BACKGROUND:
http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Amanda_Perry Eudio Amanda spent nearly a year in Eudio, coming there shortly after her first visit to help the crew of The Destiny. Her incentive was mostly fulfilled from the moment she came here--her desire to walk again. She also asked that she be allowed to keep that ability when she returned home, her hope being that if the Destiny's crew returned to Earth, it would allow her to pursue a relationship with Nicholas Rush.
While she did make some (awkward) attempts at flirting and intimacy in Eudio, the most notable effect on her stay there was her bizarre friendship with Joseph Kavinsky, which only started when she accidentally acquired his dream thief powers. Although when they first spoke Amanda found him more than a little aggravating (which was not helped by the fact she had just woke up to a half melted computer that she hadn't meant to pull into reality in her room), the fact he did not pity or coddle her when she told him of her past disability and was relatively willing to teach her to focus her newfound powers made him strangely endearing to her. It was because of him that she learned to drive, had her first big 'grown up' birthday party (complete with a penis hat) and generally started to live for something other than her work.
POWERS: Nothing supernatural! STARTING EQUIPMENT: Daemon: African gray parrot, Graced Her Eevee Hedy This shirt, blue jeans, sneakers, and the star earrings and moon bracelet she got in Eudio. The handsfree-enabled tablet she pulled in her first purposeful act of dream thievery
EXIT STRATEGY: As quakes began to destroy Eudio, a portal not entirely dissimilar to the iris of a Stargate opened in her apartment. Given the world she was in, and the fact that she had scattered bits of her work computer containing notes on Gate technology (thanks to her first unconcious act of dream thievery) Amanda did not question the portal's appearance in her apartment and trusted it to act like the Gates she knew and simply jumped.
MORALITY: While she can appear to be an absolute goody twoshoes and often is, Amanda will lie to protect and help people she cares for (as she later does in a very huge way in canon to help Nick), and tries very hard not to judge people who might steal/commit other crimes without knowing their motives first. However, she could never intentionally hurt someone physically or emotionally, and she would never take something from another person that she could absolutely do without. If it came to her pulling the literal or metaphorical trigger for someone she loved, Amanda would be deeply conflicted--she would panic and try to insist there had to be another way, a better way, as much as she could. Having spent a lifetime relying on other people for her most basic needs, having to trust that they would not take advantage of her inability to defend herself, has left her with a desire to make sure that others are not taken advantage of in desperate situations.
WAR ATTITUDES: Amanda's worked for the military for a good part of her adult life, although not in a combat role She knows that some of her knowledge has been used in some capacity to (supposedly) defend humanity back home, so while it would be difficult for her to take any kind of active role she would only have a little hesitation in using her programming skills to help protect other worlds and people. However, she is definitely not a physical fighter and would certainly be better in a support role.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: While less difficult for her than it would have been before her time in Eudio, Amanda still has some difficulty becoming really close with people. Although teh baggage of her past disability is far lighter than it used to be, the fact she spent most of her life in academia (and was homeschooled for a good part of her childhood) means that she has difficulty connecting with people who don't have an immediate shared interest. She does, hower, want to connect and has made great strides in getting better at that during the year she spent in Eudio, becoming friends with people who are certainly not academics nor romantic interests. While being in will make her long more for the 'it's complicated' thing she has with Nicholas Rush back in her home universe as she worries for him, she is not adverse to being friends and possibly trying to flirt (horribly) with others.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Amanda's chief expertise is mathematics and engineering, and she's very good at repairing and modifying electronics and machinery. She's also, surprisingly, good at thinking about the problem at hand under pressure (shown by how well she handled needing to repair a fried FTL drive before the ship got stranded in the black, and still found time to flirt with her not-boyfriend). She once manned the defenses of a ship she had only been on for a few weeks, and past her present canon point would even fly that ship with only a few hours preparation, so she will learn any new technology pretty quickly. She's also very willing to teach anyone who wants to learn how to use technology that might be foreign to them, as she knows that anyone could prove to be a genius programmer (or whatever else they might want to be) given the chance. She's also a pretty good listener and tries not to judge others for how they might deal with the present trauma or any they might have experienced back home, given both her own past and how she saw her not-boyfriend become a pretty giant jerk after his wife died--she knows that trauma affects everyone differently, and that people need to have the space to work that out however it works for them, and she'd be more than willing to be a comfort, an adviser, or just a silent ear for anyone who needs to work through some stuff
