History Characters / StargateUniverse

* AddledAddict: The sleeping pills he’s addicted to have a negative affect on his pyche and make him even more of a {{Jerkass}}.

* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: It is extremely subtle, but her partner, Sharon [[ButchLesbian wears the pants]].

** [[spoiler: But only until he's unbrainwashed. Then becomes the ReverseMole against the Alliance.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: Cheated on his wife with TJ before the start of the story. She evidently caught him or he came clean. Telford uses this against him later, by claiming it's not over to Young's wife.

* YourCheatingHeart: With Young's wife.

* 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.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, no-one lets Brody forget his Novus counterpart named a nation "Futura"

* OlderAndWiser

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: this is what the chair did to him. His body's disappearance is still a mystery.]]

* 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 the he learned about "the chair" and happily used that device that he '''knew''' is deadly dangerous, twice.

* AscendedExtra: Originally intended to be a simple side character, the actor' portray 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.

* GhostInTheMachine: [[spoiler:for two episodes, anyways.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Relates to Ginn how his parents bought him a hamster to teach him responsibility, but he accidentally left the cage door open and his father stepped on the escaped hamster. Since then he's been unsure of himself and refused any kind of responsibility put on him. This lead him to drop out of MIT and spend all his time video-gaming, where he solved the Ancient code that stranded both the expedition, and later, the Lucian Alliance on ''Destiny''. Ginn points out that without that hamster, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming they would have never met]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "Malice"

* 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 learn that Colonel Young is a relative pushover, and are then horrified to learn that Rush is (at least until the '''very''' last minute) extremely casual about letting people die.

* TheStarscream: Frequently, although in a low key and subtle way. As a member of the IOA, Wray thinks she should be the civilian administrator aboard the ''Destiny'', in the same way that Dr Wier was aboard Atlantis. Unfortunately, she has neither Wier's competence nor integrity. Wray is (at least initially) a short sighted, [[CorruptBureaucrat power hungry bureaucrat]] who repeatedly conspires with Rush and Telford to undermine Colonel Young. She and Rush stage a literal coup early in the series, but after that fails, her attempts to subvert Young are generally less direct.

* DirtyCoward: Averted, Wray isn't a coward, (which she proves more than once) she's just afraid to die. The show makes certain to draw a clear line of distinction between those two things.
