This is where I introduce myself huh?
I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Well, lets start with the basics. My name is Rodney McKay. I'm a scientist - a very good scientist. Brilliant, in fact.
Three years ago I signed up for the Atlantis Programme - a move that quite literally changed my life. Can't give you the exact details of that as it's classified. Lets just say I get to find new life and civilisations, shall we?
Life out here is hard. We have made enemies; powerful ones that have the ability to destroy us. We are at war, melodramatic as that sounds. After misagreeing with the military mindset for most of my life, I have had to embrace it... just a little. I have had to learn to fight, to defend myself and others. I have had to learn to shoot a gun to kill, which I never imagined in my worst nightmares. I have had to learn to fly, which is actually fairly cool.
Until I came to Atlantis, I was a loner. You can't be out here, not and survive at any rate. But I have found people that are worthy of my trust, to be called friends.
So I suppose it's not all bad.
[OOC: Rodney is from Stargate Atlantis. He is open for RP and interaction, abet grudgingly.]
