History Characters / StargateUniverse

* TheWoobie: It looks like the Universe is trying to make him one or break him. So far trapped on the otherside of the Universe with limited supplies and unready personel. [[spoiler: Has had the ship he's on attacked and taken over. Believes his unborn child to be dead]] and forced to MercyKill well liked and loyal crew member [[spoiler: Riley]]. Who know whats next.

** His decisions in "Aftermath" leading to [[spoiler: Riley's]] death doesn't help either.

** She's not doing a very good job though...
*** Obviously she's not going to pick it up right off the bat, but she really picks up the pace in "Lost", saving the day (relatively speaking) twice in one episode.

* AngryBlackMan

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His relationship with Rush averts this. Looks like another pairing of the military leader and [[{{TheLoad}} the brilliant scientist]] who snark together and become ThoseTwoGuys like the past two Stargate shows...[[{{OhCrap}} except there was no episode where Daniel framed O'Neill for murder. And the one where Sheppard headbutted Rodney and left him to die after having enough of his crap.]]

*** As the series goes on it shows that Young has no problem with hard choices. The {{JerkAss}} part is that Rush pretty much frames Young because Young didn't make [[ForScience the choices that Rush wanted]].

** Then again for most people the fact he marooned over eighty people in the Pilot, without their consent. Away from their love ones and in constant danger with nothing but a grin pretty much [[{{JerkAss}} summed the character up for them.]]

* DeadPersonConversation: In the second season, he speaks to his dead wife and Franklin, who may or may not have died. He claims that either the ship is creating holograms to help him or he's just gone crazy; his wife's flippant attitude toward the affair convinces him it's the former.

Essentially a combination of Siler and Walter from ''StargateSG1''. He is usually seen supporting the staff at various points. He seems to be good friends with pretty much everyone on the ship; he, among the rest of the military, seems to be particularly competent with Ancient tech as he's identified the address to send them to Earth, helps with major repairs, mans the Stargate console on occasion, and can interpret Ancient. In one of the webisodes he even rigs one of ''Destiny's'' consoles to show a false self-destruct signal as a prank on Brody. [[spoiler:Killed in the second episode of Season Two.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Though he didn't actually die, he shoved Brody out a corridor with an overloading power conduit so Brody wouldn't get caught by the blast. He was also trying to fix it so the ship wouldn't blow up. Didn't quite get far enough to keep himself out of harm's way, but he saved the ship. It puts him out of action for the latter half of the first ten episodes. [[spoiler: He lampshades all of these incidents before his death; that he'd survived these things and so figured, it just wasn't his time.]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: [[spoiler: Used to perfection when he dies. That is to say, there is no sound at all. Just complete and utter silence until Young finally lets out the breath he was holding. And it's that much more tear jerk-ing.]]

* MauveShirt: [[spoiler:We get a season of various short appearances, which make him out as a really nice guy. That's why, [[AnyoneCanDie when they kill them]], it really hits home.]]

* CharacterDerailment: A lot of fans say that O'Neill's actions are in stark contrast to what he would do in SG-1. That could just be OlderAndWiser at work, so YMMV. Hinted to be the latter in "Subversion", where we get a good portion of the snark back and see that he's generally about the same as he was in SG1. On the other hand, he [[spoiler: gives Young the okay to torture the crucial information out of Telford. SoYeah.]]
