Hello!
Before I actually create the full character, let me give you the concept to see if you even want me in the game. I know five players is a lot, but I think it could be a lot of fun. So...civilian explorer.
Hinda Rampal has been working with the SGC for a few years, mostly with the artifacts brought back through the gate. She's an anthropologist/archaeologist by training and trade and was brought on by the SGC because of her ability to tie apparently disparate cultures together based on ancient clues.
When this post came open, she agonized for days before actually applying. Was she good enough? Would it matter that she had never held a gun outside of basic safety training? Would the Colonel be impressed by her PhD or think she was just a bookworm? Would he notice the 10 years she'd spent in the field (on Earth) working to become more than a bookworm?
In the end, what convinced her to apply was her mother. Her mother had a passion for travel. She was a journalist and took Hinda on all her trips. Her father had died shortly after she was born, so she and her mother became very close. Growing up all over the world gave Hinda a unique view of and appreciation for culture. She joined the Peace Corps at 18 and visited Chad and Mongolia. It was those travels as a child and a young woman that inspired her to become an anthropologist and archaeologist. She knew she couldn't pass up the chance to travel all over the galaxy, even if she couldn't share it with her mother.
Imagine the cultures...imagine being able to see what might have happened if you'd isolated this culture or that culture on Earth...imagine the people. It was too much to resist.
As she submitted her paperwork, she hoped the Colonel would find her passion engaging. She hoped he would see that her enthusiasm and drive were what singled her out, not her multiple degrees or her experience. She crossed her fingers and waited for a phone call.
