GaryStu Carter-O'Neill, handsome and charismatic teenage genius astrophysicist and pilot, who happened to train as a medic in his spare time and relaxes by doing triple heart bypass surgery. When he's not representing the US in the triathlon and rescuing kittens from trees, of course.

Be warned, BW - plagiarise me and I will sue! :P


Anyone else want to create some characters, since it looks like the boys from Bridge need a hand? In true shipping war terms, I still need at least 3 other characters, all straight (natch!) and two of them female... one token black character must be included.

Well you have to have the bumbling, clumsy, absent-minded academic, with glasses and no social skills who will need to be rescued by THE HERO every week.

I guess you could have the African Princess. Tall, black, beautiful, incrediably skinny, but able to carry a full pack for hours without messing up her makeup or hair. Hopelessly in love with THE HERO, and the object of slavish devotion by the bumbling geek. She has a doctorate from Oxford/some Ivy League uni (Tufts? Brown? Yale? ) is an Olympic standard marksman with a rifle, and is guilt-wracked because she is out there in space and not back in her African country working with Lepers (even though her PHD is Politics and Economics and she know nothing about medicine).

Not just one PhD! Two or three! Same for the geek guy!

Why stop at PhD's? Can't they all be teenage Nobel Prize winners? ;)

[wneleh.livejournal.com]

In math and anthropology!

Except the problem with the bumbling academic is that some sicko will think him and THE HERO are bumping boots! Better to make sure he's put somewhere that they have as little contact as possible, preferably by text.

The only problem with the African Princess is that since she's not size -2 and blonde, she can't be paired off with THE HERO. That's the job of the Big-Breasted Sexy Alien Chick.

I propose the completely NEW! concept of a Asian geek girl -- big glasses, very shy, but super intelligent and as it turns out when she is kidnapped by aliens and forced into taking off her glasses and letting down her hair while wearing a metal bikini, very hot. Mostly she does exposition for episode set ups.

Does she carry a sword? I'm getting a mental picture of the girl in the film Sin City. I think her name was Miho. Asian girl with a sword who took down about a million bad guys.

Trying for something different this time, there is the 6 ft tall alien black woman with exotic looks, permanent purple eye shadow, and kick-ass fighting abilities. Unfortunately, due to her society’s rules, the moment a man asks her anything other than how to gut someone with a dull penknife and a toothpick, she must lower her eyes, act demure, and never question him. Her name is T’lel’or’a and is immediately called Mrs. T by the crew with no explanation ever give to her.

Also, this time there is also a female geek whose real name is Francesca De Lorien-Jones, but everyone calls her Frankie, except her erstwhile love interest calls her D.J. Red hair usually pulled tightly back in a bun with large, horn-rimmed glasses that reappear no matter how many times they are lost or broken with no means of replacement. She’s a triple PhD in languages, electrical engineering, and paleontology. At the slightest bump, strands of hair fall out of the bun to artfully frame her face in curls, and her glasses fall off to reveal ice blue eyes that any heterosexual man must stare deeply into.

Finally, there is Rex Rockwell. All muscle and good looks and, even though he’s a Marine and should have no reason to do so, he can pilot anything with or without wings and anything in the air, on the ground, or under the water. He sleeps around with every woman they come across, with each of his conquests expounding on how wonderfully male and fully het he is. He’s also secretly a Rhodes Scholar and his parents are Nobel Prize winning astrophysicists and basketweavers and he remembers everything they ever read to him because of his photographic memory.

Nah! The geek girl has red hair, so she has to have Jade green eyes. Its the rules.

Ooh, you're right! My bad.

Which one is the gay one? You know they have to have a token gay, someone for the heroes to look comparatively butch next to.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Well, you can of course immediately rule out anyone in military service, because we all know they're manly men doing manly things and not each other.

Also, this is Bridge Studios, who don't like That Kind Of Thing and do their best to avoid it by throwing their (all heterosexual, all the time) characters into as many m/f relationships as possible. Any putative gayness is all in the delivery, not on the page.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

I forgot to say, in Bridge Studios productions, the role of Token Gay is played by Comedy Geek, assuming they can make the actor go along with it (and their track record's not too good to date).

One of these days I am so going to write a story that is a cross over between Torchwood and SG1. The Torchwood gang turn up at the SGC to be briefed on what's going on there.

Captain Jack, of course, has heard about Dr Daniel Jackson and is very interested. He also knows a Jaffa when he sees one, and he knows ALL about Jaffa stamina. At one point he turns to Colonel Jack and says "How do you get any work done round here with all these beautiful people on your team?" Captain Jack flirts like mad with Daniel, and Colonel Jack gets very pissy, so Captain Jack flirts with him too.

I'm surprised nobody has written the story already.

The funny thing is, that Captain Jack played by the 100% gay JB is a massive sex symbol. I wonder what the boys @ bridge make of that!

I imagine if they have watched Torchwood (and S2 recently started on the Canadian Space channel), they are probably sitting with icepacks on their heads, burbling incoherently something along the lines of "Egad! How could this be?! He's a gay action hero and he's popular? With kids and mums and dads and everyone?! Waaaaaaaah!" Then their heads explode.
