ROBERT CAPA | sunshineflaresDecember 10 2011, 00:43:00 UTC
Name: Robert Capa Canon: Sunshine What is your character doing?: Currently, Capa is undergoing a huge info-suck, trying to glean as much information as he can to bring himself up to speed with the technology available both on Tranquility and in the worlds that other characters are from. Are you willing to have your character get hurt?: Yes. Does your character have a job?: In canon, Capa is one of the greatest astrophysicists on earth. He specializes in stellar formatics, antimatter and physical cosmology (essentially big bang shit). Here on the ship, I'm pretty sure he'll be serving as one of the resident subject matter experts, working on diagnosing what happened and think-tanking a possible solution. What kinds of plots are you after?: CAPA LIKES SCIENCE. no seriously, this guy isn't the most graceful social swan and it's the main way he knows how to interact with people. that being said, i would really love for him to build bridges with other ship crews/geek out about technology/learn how to live a little. he's very mission
( ... )
all of capa's canonmates will be like CAPA HOW DID YOU EVEN ADOPT A SMALL CHILD and he will just be like SHE'S BRIGHT OKAY /ushers her off to talk about STARS AND STUFF
oh god YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THEIR THREAD. they were both just like :| I SEE at each other for the duration while each having these little private internal narrations and i was like BLOOD OF MY BLOOD
OH I'M PRETTY SURE I HAVE AN IDEA BECAUSE I'M MORBIDLY DEPRESSED NOW THAT THEIR THREAD HAS ENDED.
i don't know how they even talk to each other they have like THE SAME BRAIN. i kindof like the idea of spock continuing to be this weird disembodied voice to him for awhile if you're cool with that? >> also pls to be the one some time down the road to tell spock he's being illogical. when he inevitably. uh. is human.
;__; you too? OH GOOD I AM GLAD IT WASN'T JUST ME. i was like dammit capa you are too straight forward and cannot find an excuse to keep talking to spock.
also i am TOTALLY cool with the idea of spock almost like BEING SOME WEIRD SURROGATE FOR ICARUS for the time being, it makes their dynamic kind of STRANGE but much more interesting, i think. when he finally meets spock (necessary because they unsurprisingly ALSO BOTH GET ALONG WITH CHASE) capa will have no choice but to blink stoically for a moment.
also. YES. DIBS ON BEING LIKE. YOU'RE BEING ILLOGICAL. :/ BIG PICTURE, ETC ETC. WAIT WHY AM I HAVING TO TELL YOU THIS SPOCK
I DEFINITELY HAD THE SAME MOMENT. i was like spock why are you so precise you are cutting this conversation short dhjakshdjka
AND YAY i'm admittedly totally smitten with this weird amalgamation of crews going on, what with icarus ii & the enterprise becoming some hideously beautiful conglomerate. SO SURROGATE ICARUS PLEASES ME IMMENSELY. um um- as far as chase goes, and this odd faux parental thing they're both inching towards IDK I PERSONALLY, would adore handwaved or whathaveyou moments of them passing each other in the corridors, enroute to wherever, etc and having ~no idea~ for awhile. THAT'S JUST ME IDKIDK
ALSO YES. YOU NOW TOTALLY HAVE DIBS. AND YOU WILL GET FRONT ROW SEATS TO HORRIFIED!SPOCK FACE. sometime. down the road. when he has to deal with that.
HOW DID THIS COMMENT THREAD SUDDENLY BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED IN LIFE. seriously i would write sonnets and epic poetry to sing its praises THAT IS HOW MUCH I DO WANT. ;__
( ... )
OH GOOD. because i just told chase that we're her new dads. this is going to be the creepiest family in the history of ever. and by creepiest, i mean, beautiful, frighteningly intelligent, and socially handicapped.
PROPOSED PAYOFF IS MY EVERYTHINDAGSJDHJAK no i can't even brain i'm not kidding. i'm that excited about it. and likely going to post with spock tomorrow, so he'll send a message out just for capa. because i'm shameless like that. AND HE'LL BE BUILDING A 3DIMENSIONAL CHESS SET FOR CHASE so idk if you play capa. but you're invited too. to play with her. since we're going to carry on not really knowing each other for awhile. until they inevitably meet doing something really unnecessarily cool. idk maybe a mission or something

You offered him something to do, Capa. Also, you talked machines with him and didn't call him crazy.
This basically means Heatwave's keeping a technopathic eye out for his posts and will probably be tagging every one he can reasonably contribute to until he's told to knock it off. This is if you don't mind, of course.
capa has yet to get with the whole OH WAIT YOU USED TO BE A ROBOT thing, which obviously is going to have to come up eventually since there is no way it can't since it will just make capa go. /slow b l i n k and then carry on.
heatwave probably knows, then, that capa's gone to meet with the crew to learn more about the ship and that he's trying to gather ALL OF THE INFORMATION from the various universes to learn everything he can about FTL. feel free for him to interject with anything he might find that's relevant to capa's inquiry. CAPA WON'T MIND HE LIKES INFOSHARING. science is lauve.
agreed! though i like how capa was like /awkwards when she was like CAN YOU LEAD PEOPLE and he was like ...derp. i can train them.
i don't know anything about her canon, but i'd love more interaction between them. IF SHE NEEDS TRAINING ON HOW TO FUNCTION IN SPAAACE he'd be willing to give her some, if only because she's really proven to be level-headed and capa likes that in people. A LOT.
poor guy. SORRY, SHE LIKES TO INTERROGATE PEOPLE AND ISN'T AFRAID OF MAKING PEOPLE SQUIRM....
Oh, likewise. She'd definitely like some training and would love to hear anything he has to say. She's curious about everything and anything. He's definitely proven himself to be on the ball and thoughtful about things, which is a major plus in his direction.

Seriously, though, I LOVE what we have with Chase and Capa so far and I definitely want to see it expand!
