Prompt # 1: Who Are You?
There's not really a lot I can say about who I am. I'm...a reluctant leader. A man who's somehow found himself living the life sci fi geeks only dream of. I'm a pilot -- a pretty gifted one at that, if I do say so myself -- and a soldier.
I'm not anything like I used to think I'd be. Some would say I'm a hero, others would say a trouble maker. I agree more with the latter. I'm determined, protective of my family -- now the people of Atlantis --, and I don't have the good habit of thinking things through. At least, and I think this is the important part, I recognize that about me.
I'm smarter than I'd seem, for sure. I don't let people know it, and I'm not going to go into why. I like football more than anything, I'm a lousy golfer, and I'm even worse at relationships. I'll do anything in my power to protect innocent people, but not at the expense of the people I care for -- which, okay, doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone but me, I think.
I'm just your average man, in the most un-average situations.
