Icarus (Sci-fi/Time-travel|OOC|Open)

[Mediama]

Aww, really? What’s wrong?

I think I was trying to write him in such a way that he would take a longer time to get acculturated in a different time. As it is, we're like 13 pages or so in, and my character is only steps toward that goal of accepting his new reality. With him, that also limits his availability to go on missions. And I'm finding I'm only posting about one a page and not reading about the actual mission...

I mean, it's been only one mission so far. Maybe there could be something you haven't covered yet?

Character Description

Name: Rebecca Watson
Gender: Female
Appearance:


Original Lifespan: 1967-2001
Biological Age now: 27

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Skills:
Race Engineering: In her time, she was renowned for her rapport with her engineers. She studied vehicle dynamics in college as well

Driving: Rebecca has an incredible feel for the limits of a car.

Weaknesses:
Implusiveness: While split second decision making is an important skill to develop on track, the same mentality can obviously cause problems elsewhere.

Specialization: Rebecca has spent most of her life trying to break into top level motorsports, she doesn't know too much beyond what she's been interested enough to look into.

Public Speaking: She's smart, and mostly well spoken but has a habit of being too blunt on camera.

Impostor Syndrome: She knows she's talented but has had a hard time internalizing that, even into her 30s. This has created an almost constant need within her to prove herself to everyone.

---

Background:

Backstory:
Rebecca showed her interest in racing early in life, insisting that she attend every single one of her dad's events and bombarding him with questions about racing in their time together. Though it would be a daunting task to be a woman in top level motorsports, she was determined to make it there, and she understood that from the start. Her karting career would take off around the age of 12, and by 15 she had graduated to Formula Ford. From there it was through Formula Atlantic and into Indy Lights in 1987. 1992 was her first year in IndyCar doing a partial season for a smaller team. She qualified 25th for the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie, falling out on lap 62 from engine failure. In 1996, she'd sign with Chip Ganassi racing in the newly split CART championship, where she stayed until 2001. That year a new race was added to the calendar, the Firehawk 600 at Texas Motor Speedway. A combination of the makeup of the track and the speed of the cars produced sustained loads over 5g, disorienting drivers enough that many returned to the pits dizzy after a few laps. Rebecca, however, would be the greatest victim of this, when she briefly lost consciousness at 235 miles an hour and her car rocketed across the track and into the wall, going airborne and snagging the catch fence. She was dead by the time the car stopped.

Cause of death: A catastrophic crash at Texas Motor Speedway

More backstory development is going to come in time. It's pretty late

I am happy to accept this. Welcome aboard.

I have a question about what the crew does in the off time. Do they have like tablets or personal access to the internet? Could they access the internet at any point in history? Like say, one specific day if the wanted to

It's not a big issue, but I never got an answer to this. I assume it's no, but I wanted to check. I have plans if otherwise

What I did with Elizabeth was just presume that everything up to the time the ship was lost is on its internal database(s).

Apologies!

Well there is a computer data bank, but I hadn't considered whether people have tablets and stuff. The computer has information, though logically they wouldn't have anything unfiltered. Wouldn't want people accidentally releasing information into the wrong part of the timeline. That could be very dangerous. Why, what are your thinking of?

This app needs quite a bit of work. First and most importantly, you've written a future character without clearing it with me first. The Andromedaverse is a relatively well established setting at this point and a lot of this stuff doesn't fit with it at all. I'd strongly advise, since you haven't written in one of our RPs before, that you stick with a character from the past to make it easier to get involved. If you really want to write a future character, I can outline the timelines (plural) that your character could have lived within.

With the skills and weaknesses - characters don't have any equipment when they wake up, apart from the jumpsuit they wake up in. This is mentioned in the OP. He cannot bring an AI onto the ship or a lightsabre (incidentally those are quite explicitly not in the Andromedaverse cannon). I'm also not really sure what you mean by his weakness is 'romantic scenes'. Do you mean to say he is nervous around other people he is attracted to?

Would her family even let her fans know? Even if they care for her, are they tech savvy enough to do so?

It wouldn't be that hard to send a tweet, there are plenty of parents who can use social media. It doesn't even have to be her parents, it could be from a friend

What was he doing in Vietnam in ‘58? There would’ve been advisers in-country by ‘55, but not actual combat troops until 1965. Also, if he did stay on in the army, was he in Korea as well?

A lot of the trouble with Vietnam was unreported missions and deaths of soldiers that were not recognized because they were on secret missions. My story relies upon this, and the anger that Karter feels about his friend's deaths being for nothing. Also, yes, he was in the Korean War, but played a very minor role due to an overly cautious CO.

Fix the app and I or one of the Co-OPs will consider it. From what I can see you've cut the reference to JARVIS and added 'No lightsaber...tho' to the end of the line on skills.

You've still got references to a lightsabre and visiting 'other earths' on a Spaceship called 'Pathfinder' which do not fit with the setting, which is why I suggest you move to a character from the past. We can all agree on what happened then and you aren't trying to write into a story you are unfamiliar with.

On top of that there's an odd bit at the end that says *can not because I haven't finished the canon yet*. What does that mean? You have also talked about someone called Bill and a group called 'Black Showdor'; do you plan for those to be relevant later? You also haven't included a surname.

Edit: I made this universe´s HRM so he is going on his first goody adventure with other than the moon....(He went there in 2024)
