History Characters / StargateUniverse

* AloofAlly
* AntiHero: Type IV- UnscrupulousHero.

* InsistentTerminology: He rarely refers to Chloe by her given name, instead referring to her as "Miss Armstrong". With everyone else onboard ''Destiny'', he either calls them by their [[FirstNameBasis first name]] or their [[LastNameBasis surname]].
** Presumably this AffectionateNickname derives due to Rush having been first introduced to her as Senator Armstrong's daughter. As the series progresses and she begins to forgive him for his role in her father's death, and after he begins mentoring her, he begins to refer to her as Chloe.

* KickTheDog: Separating ''Destiny'' from the seed ship while [[spoiler:Telford]] was still on board and fixing the problem. Dick move, Rush.

* MustHaveCaffeine / MustHaveNicotine: Was forced to quit both cold turkey, which in addition to being awake for several days and under constant stress, leads him to collapsing whilst suffering a complete nervous breakdown in "Darkness".

** Episode 16, "Sabotage", very much.
** Then again in "Resurgence".

* PowerTrio: The Id.
* TheResenter: He admits to his wife in "Human" that he feels this way about BrilliantButLazy Eli, who's natural talents at mathematics and advanced science put his hard-won position to shame. The fact that Eli stumbled into the Icarus Project and solved the power problem that stymied Rush for months doesn't help.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "Malice." And Rush doesn't just kill Simeon; oh no. Rush kills him with ''[[ForScience SCIENCE]].'' SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS would have been proud.

* TheSpock
* SurroundedByIdiots: Rush obviously feels this way at times. "Resurgence" is one of the best examples.

* TokenEvilTeammate: While not really evil, Rush is [[TheUnfettered quite willing]] to sacrifice people for the greater good. Or what he considers the greater good anyway. Others might describe it as "his own convenience". He plays it much closer in the second season, where people keep getting harmed while he plays with his secret bridge. This is an occasional source of dark humour, when enemies of the ship first gain the impression that Colonel Young is compassionate and can therefore be manipulated, and are then horrified to learn that Rush is (at least until the '''very''' last minute) extremely casual about letting people die. Lampshaded in the last episode when Young compares them all to a family, defining Rush's position as:
-->'''Young:''' The, uh, [[MadScientist slightly crazy uncle]] who [[EnemyMine despite everything]], still manages to come through for you [[AloofAlly in the end]].

* HotScientist

[[DisabledLoveInterest Quadriplegic]] [[HotScientist physicist]] on Earth; joins the crew via the communication stones in a number of episodes to work on the ship's drive. LoveInterest to Rush (whose nickname for her is "[[Literature/MrMen Little Miss Brilliant]]"). [[spoiler: NOT KilledOffForReal along with Ginn by Simeon. Since she was killed while connected to another body via the stones, her consciousness stuck in the ether, then linked to Chloe and was downloaded to ''Destiny''. Yes, it's quite a MindScrew.]]

* HotScientist

An engineer and computer expert. Friends and prank rival with Riley (he gets ''turned purple'' for his efforts). Also runs a still used to make alcohol in a makeshift bar for the crew. According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, Telford's gambit to dial Earth and thus getting Riley injured was why Brody sides with Rush against the military. [[spoiler: Which explains why a guy that probably isn't all that violent is willing to space Telford in "Subversion" - hurting Riley, blowing up Icarus, etc. There is the implication that Riley's death has hit him particularly hard out of the secondary characters due to their friendship.]] As of Season 2, he's also started to get a bit more of an active role in things as well as developing somewhat of an angry snarker personality (though for good reason).

* IllGirl: [[spoiler:The usual BeautyIsNeverTarnished bit is averted, the alternate future shows her slowly wasting away.]]

* TheLoad: And she acknowledges this fact, which is part of the reason she [[spoiler:sides with Rush in "Divided"]]. Leads into the {{Wangst}} somewhat. She seems to be trying to rectify it by becoming this show's Daniel Jackson.[[invoked]]

* RefusalOfTheCall: Eli is completely unconvinced when O'Neill and Dr. Rush show up on his doorstep, informing him that he is their ChosenOne. Unlike most examples, however, this doesn't end all that badly for him (well, other than the whole stranded on the other side of the universe thing, but that has nothing to do with him refusing the Call).
** He actually took to the call pretty well when he learned all the details. And was standing in a spaceship

* TheLoad: And she acknowledges this fact, which is part of the reason she [[spoiler:sides with Rush in "Divided"]]. Leads into the {{Wangst}} somewhat. She seems to be trying to rectify it by becoming this show's Daniel Jackson.

* ViralTransformation: [[spoiler:She's slowly transforming into something, more than likely one of the aliens that kidnapped her. This was cured later, but she retained some of her math skills.]]

* HollywoodNerd

* DynamicCharacter: Young ends the series much quieter, more cooperative and less overwhelmingly military than he was when he started.

* AFatherToHisMen
** Which really hits him hard in "Aftermath" as [[spoiler: having to lose Riley to something he can't get angry over leaves him pretty torn up.]]

->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/StargateUniverseS1E1AirPart1 "Air, Part 1"]]

* TheAtoner: Ever since the events of "Human", Rush seems to have been taken off of his high horse and has actually been trying to ''help'' the crew.
** For a few episodes anyway. Now he's back to being [[WildCard morally ambiguous]], making it AesopAmnesia. However, he can still be said to be trying to help, just trying to balance that with his own interests, which predictably isn't panning out as well as he'd like.

* RefugeInAudacity: Most of Rush's ideas are completely removed from conventional reality. Generally speaking, his ideas either work, someone gets killed, or sometimes both.
** [[spoiler: When Scott gets infested with an alien organism in ''Cloverdale'', Rush tells Colonel Young to give him all of the available medical supplies, alien tick venom which had been used in the past, hydrochloric acid, and "something that can cut through bone."]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: While not really evil, Rush is [[TheUnfettered quite willing]] to sacrifice people for the greater good. Or what he considers the greater good anyway.

->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/StargateUniverseS1E1AirPart1 "Air, Part 1"]]

MIT dropout who solved the problem of dialing the ninth chevron (it was embedded in a video game), and [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fanboy]] subsequently brought onboard. Now acts as TheSmartGuy and foil to Rush. Also in charge of the kinos. 25 years old.

* {{Acrofatic}}: He's noted to be quite overweight. Still, he holds his own quite well any time something has to be done, even if it involves combat or physical exercise. To wit, he's been shown to be able to keep up with Ronald Greer, he's basically run from one side of ''Destiny'' to the other in a matter of minutes, and was originally one of those who held out the longest in both episodes "air" and "time," as well as managed to avoid capture when the Lucian Alliance came to ''Destiny''. Considering he has practically no military training, this is mighty impressive.

** PromotedFanboy: Eli's actor was already a fan of ''Stargate'' before joining the show. The producers call him an actor and technical adviser in one package.

->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/StargateUniverseS1E1AirPart1 "Air, Part 1"]]

->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/StargateUniverseS1E1AirPart1 "Air, Part 1"]]

* DistressedDamsel
** DamselScrappy

* JustFriends: With Eli although she considers that type of relationship as very important due to her realization that he's the first ''real'' friend she's ever had. So unlike the usual situation of the trope, she's aware of... you know... but she doesn't want to screw things up by getting involved with Eli.
** That last bit probably hinges on exactly when she figured out Eli's feelings for her, compared to when she hooked up with Scott.

* ViralTransformation: [[spoiler:She's slowly transforming into something, more than likely one of the aliens that kidnapped her.]]
** [[spoiler:This was cured later, but she retained some of her math skills.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: She's among the few female military personnel shown and the only to be shown in a combat role. Seems to be the second-in-line for command of away teams after Scott.
** When Riley piloted a kino into her room (he supposedly made a wrong turn), she tells him "I can, and ''will'', kick your ass."

** "[[MyEyesAreUpHere I'm up here]]." Said to, of course, [=McKay=], who was ogling her assets. Again.

* BreakTheCutie: His mother's condition is getting worse, his girlfriend was StuffedIntoTheFridge, one of his best friends / ex-LoveInterest is slowly turning into... something alien and he (as a civilian) has lost plenty of comrades / friends. Quite a TraumaCongaLine he has there.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Simeon explicitly left Rush alive so her death (or rather that of who she was connected to) would haunt him.]]

* AngryBlackMan: Somewhat. To the people he sees as enemies, it's really apparent, but he's a decent guy otherwise.

* AntiHero: Type IV.

* {{Jerkass}}
* JerkassDissonance: A number of fans actually think Rush would be a better leader than Young due to his [[TheUnfettered lack of restrictions]] when acting for the greater good and the amount of similarities between the two. However this is proven wrong in series two when it becomes clear he cares more about the ''Destiny'' mission then the crew themselves. After he volunteered to stay behind with the malfunctioning sleeper pod in the series finale, the rest of the crew decided against it because they had no doubt he would sacrifice others to buy himself more time. That and his actions leading to the marooning of inexperienced crew intentionally in unknown space in the pilot lead to him being the considered the [[TokenEvilTeammate crazy, evil uncle in the SGU family.]] Even the rest of the [[BlackComedy team can find humor in it.]]

[[folder:Destiny]]
Yes, the ship. It actually has enough oddities that it must be considered a character.

* CoolShip
* MindScrew: ''Destiny'' can play around with [[spoiler:the crew's brainwaves. Confirmed hallucinations include Young's dreams]], while [[spoiler:TJ's baby and Rush's wife]] are possibilities, but unconfirmed yet.
** [[spoiler: Confirmed eventually. ''Destiny'' was trying to help TJ deal with the pain of losing her child and Rush's wife is one it's chosen forms when communicating with Rush on the bridge, along with the uploaded Franklin.]]
* RagnarokProofing: Considering it's held up for over sixty million years, it's amazing that it's only now starting to break down.
* SapientShip
* SettingAsACharacter: ''Destiny'' is definitely a lot smarter than your average spaceship, Ancient or other. Rush has asserted that it doesn't actually have any personality, but apparently just freakishly appropriate deductive reasoning. One way of looking at it would be like your desktop computer with all the different programs on it (anti-virus, word processor, USB ports, etc) only more powerful and advanced. It has no real emotions or whatnot, but the complexity of it all can sometimes mean that when it tries to do something non-routine or something changes in its environment, something crashes (and usually when you're doing something important).
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The ''Destiny'' is literally powered by the sun. The ship has to dive into stars to recharge its power reserves regularly.
* TimeAbyss: The thing is the oldest non-maintained structure in Stargate, having been constructed in the Ancients' early stay in the Milky Way. Even its Stargates are based on a notably older design than anything we've seen in the Milky Way or Pegasus galaxies.

* PowerTrio: Either the Superego or a second Id in the Young/Rush/Camille trio. YMMV

* PowerTrio: The Ego

* OrphansOrdeal: As revealed in "Air Part 3", Scott's parents were killed in a car crash when he was very young and the priest who raised him, basically drank himself to death when he was 16.

* PowerTrio: In the one running the military contingent he's the Ego

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Certainly compared to a lot of politicians in the series. He's a resolute supporter of the Stargate program, patient when they don't instantly succeed and, as noted above, he ultimately sacrificed himself to save everyone else.

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler: Despite being part of a group of intelligent scientists, what happens when you leave a dozen individuals on a planet alone, with next-to-no supplies, who have only built settlements for ''summer'' and then a bad ''winter'' comes along? They all freaking ''die'', that's what!]]

'''Greer:''' "Watch. Me."

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a very patient and forebearing man, but when he's finally pushed too far, ''he snaps.'' This includes giving Telford a beatdown for trying to ruin his marriage behind his back and pinning Spencer against a wall when he finally gets tired of putting up with the guy's cowardly, subversive behavior. [[spoiler: He puts up with a lot of Rush's manipulations, but when Rush frames him for murder and nearly causes him to lose command of ''Destiny,'' (getting Doctor Franklin hurt in the process) Young decides he's had enough, beats the ever loving shit out of him, and leaves him to die on a barren world. Afterwards, he is incredibly cold to Wray, who was very quick to throw him to the wolves.]]

* OddFriendship: With Telford, surprisingly. They start out the series hating each other's guts, but Young notes that he was never like this until recently. [[spoiler: It turns out that Telford was subjected to Goa'uld mind-control by The Lucian Alliance to make him their spy in Stargate Command, and this is largely why he has been such an asshole. Afterwards, Telford feels immensely guilty, not just for the things he did, but also for the way he treated Everett.]] It says a lot that even after everything, [[spoiler: when the Lucian Alliance was boarding Destiny and the ship was at risk, Young still refused to vent the compartment if it would cost Telford's life.]]

* JerkassDissonance: A number of fans actually think Rush would be a better leader than Young due to his [[TheUnfettered lack of restrictions]] when acting for the greater good and the amount of NotSoDifferent between the two.

* KickTheDog: Separating Destiny from the seed ship while [[spoiler:Telford]] was still on board and fixing the problem. Dick move, Rush.
** His {{KickTheDog}} moment sets off the whole plot , when he decides to maroon a collected group of untrained civilians and unprepared military in unknown space because he did not want to miss his chance to get onto the Destiny .
** Hid the fact he had found a secret control room on Destiny allowing more control of the ship from the crew, leading to Hunters death. He gets called out regarding this.

* {{Acrofatic}}: He's noted to be quite overweight. Still, he holds his own quite well any time something has to be done, even if it involves combat or physical exercise. To wit, he's been shown to be able to keep up with Ronald Greer, he's basically run from one side of Destiny to the other in a matter of minutes, and was originally one of those who held out the longest in both episodes "air" and "time," as well as managed to avoid capture when the Lucian Alliance came to Destiny. Considering he has practically no military training, this is mighty impressive.

Destiny's second-highest ranking officer. Usually leads away missions. Also in a relationship with Chloe. 27 years old.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: She wants to be a part of Destiny's mission to give her father's death a reason. So even though she's probably the last person that would be useful on the ship (alien knowledge later changes that), she tries her best and even volunteers to stay on the ship when the option to return home becomes available.

* HonorBeforeReason: While pretty reasonable otherwise, question the honor of his commanding officer or the value of his soldiers and their role aboard '''Destiny'', and he tends to get... perturbed.

* LastOfHisKind: Alternate!Wray was the longest surviving member of Alt!Destiny's crew on Novus.

Essentially a combination of Siler and Walter from ''Series/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:He died in the second episode of season two.]]

* DeathSeeker: In the pilot, he was so desperate to escape Destiny, that he was willing to strand Scott, Eli, Greer, and everyone who was looking for lime to use on the ship's [=CO2=] scrubbers, not to mention doom the crew on Destiny to a slow death of asphyxiation, and had to be shot. As the series progressed, he grew only more and more angry and desperate until he learned about "the chair" and happily used that device that he '''knew''' is deadly dangerous, twice.

[[DisabledLoveInterest Quadriplegic]] [[HotScientist physicist]] on Earth; joins the crew via the communication stones in a number of episodes to work on the ship's drive. LoveInterest to Rush (whose nickname for her is "[[Literature/MrMen Little Miss Brilliant]]"). [[spoiler: NOT KilledOffForReal along with Ginn by Simeon. Since she was killed while connected to another body via the stones, her consciousness stuck in the ether, then linked to Chloe and was downloaded to Destiny. Yes, it's quite a MindScrew.]]

* ThePowerOfTheSun: The Destiny is literally powered by the sun. The ship has to dive into stars to recharge its power reserves regularly.

* PowerTrio: The Id

-->Greer: "I can't think of a better way to move on from - from this world into the next, or whatever comes, than to fly into the most powerful thing in all creation ... a star. Out in a blaze of glory. I like that...that's beautiful."

-->Rush: "This is an enemy you can't fight."\\
Greer: "Watch. Me."
* KillItWithFire: He even makes his own flamethrowers for the occasion, which says a lot.

* ReallyGetsAround: At the rate she's going, she'll be through most of the crew inside a month.
** Alternatively, the crew will be inside her through most of the month.

* AscendedExtra: Originally intended to be a simple side character, the actor' portrayal impressed the showrunners enough to make him a more in-depth and involved character. Probably a CMOA for the actor considering how little most side characters have to work with.

* InTheBlood: It's what he is afraid of.

* InsufferableGenius
