Commander Dr. Robin C. Pearson/ Science Officer/ 34
Species and Appearance:
Robin is a human female. She stands at 5-foot 8-inches tall weighing in at 125 pounds with flaming red hair down to the center of her back with sharp green eyes.
Bio and Personality:
Robin was born on the Mars colony to Harrison and Julie Pearson two scientists who were working for the I.S.A on a science mission. Robin craved excitement and action not just "digging in the dirt" like mom and dad. Robin enlisted at the Star Academy and graduated at the top of her class which meant she could have her pick of any post graduate training assignment, so Robin chose Commando training. Robin was placed into the one of the toughest units in the entire I.S.A the Demon Hawks, and she proved she belonged with them.
Then came a mission on that changed everything. An I.S.A intelligence satellite went down on an uncharted sector of Altair Seven, and the Hawks were to retrieve the hard-drive which carried vital intel. Everything was going to plan until a crew of Mordok Pirates ambushed the Hawks. They wanted the intel from the hard drive to sell on the black market. Outnumbered and outgunned, Colonel Tom Beckett saw only one way to "win". He ordered Robin to go through an opening in the perimeter and fire on the satellite. Beckett knew that the explosion would takeout the pirates, but also unfortunately the Hawks. Robin was hesitant at first to follow the order. However, Robin was a good and faithful soldier and her superior officer gave her an order. She made her way to a nearby ridge, and with one shot the satellite exploded. Robin saw through the fire and debris most of the satellite was destroyed. What was left wasn't worth salvaging. Robin walked away, but then the satellite exploded one more time. Robin could feel a piece of metal lodge in her lower back. Instantly her legs gave out, and Robin heard other pirates coming towards her. They were probably going to survey the damage, but if they found her Robin knew The Pirates would make her suffer. Robin crawled to a nearby opening in the side of a cliff just big enough for her to fit in. She crawled far enough in so that no one could see her.
Once she was certain the Pirates were gone Robin surveyed her equipment. The communications equipment was badly damaged. She tested it and realized she could only transmit messages. To make matters worse a rain storm caused a mud slide and sealed her opening. She rolled onto her back, and Robin dug through the top of her cave through loose soil and bits of rock. She dug until her fingers bled, and then Robin felt drops of rain water which meant she wouldn't suffocate. Robin used her communicator to transmit at odd times so the Pirates couldn't get a lock on her if they were still in the area. She survived by drinking rain water and eating various bugs that crawled around.
After three days a rescue crew finally arrived and transported Robin to a med station. The doctors told Robin she was paralyzed, but they were able to implant in her a spinal unit. It was about the size of a palm sized transmitter which would enable her to walk, and that she could resume her military career once her body got used to the implant. Robin declined resuming her career because she now felt like a freak with the implant. but she wanted to prove that she could at least have a "semi-normal" life so she went through with her rehab.
Robin began to attack with her rehab a vengeance. During her rehab, Robin began to be fascinated with how a body works which made her start to question how other sciences worked as well. Robin enrolled in the I.S.A's science program online while she did her rehab. Robin excelled at the science program and within 6 years Robin held 5 PHDs. Robin enlisted in the I.S.A.'s science corps where she served on the Mars platform alongside her parents for 3 years. Robin though began to grow restless and wanted to see what was really beyond the Mars platform. She put in for a transfer to the I.S.S Prize and was ready to embrace her future as it's Science Officer.
Robin's personality is that she is focused on her work, but her experience on Altair Seven taught her perspective. As a result she has developed a sarcastic wit and likes to have a good laugh even if it's at her expense. Robin also is very much a team player and will do whatever she is asked to do. She recognizes that only by working together that a mission will succeed.
Skills, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Tools:
Robin is extremely intelligent. Her powers of observation are a real asset to her work. She can go a bit overboard at times though with her explanations. For example if someone asked her what time it was she might tell them how to build a watch.
Though she is no longer a commando Robin still possess formidable fighting skills, and can hold her own in a fight. Although a hit on just the right spot on her lower back will cause her spinal unit to lose power for a few seconds and cause Robin to collapse.
Her tools she has a portable microscope, several tablets on the various sciences of various species, a recorder for science reports, a master control module for her spinal unit, and a palm tablet that is hooked into the I.S.A. science database. For her own piece of mind Robin still carries her pistol from her days with the Demon Hawks.
Miscellaneous Info:
Her spinal unit isn't a cure all for her situation. Once every three months Robin has to go into "hibernation" for two days. For two days she has to lay on her stomach and she does not move
at all. During this time her unit is hooked up to the master control module which updates the software for the unit, fixes any problems, and recharges the unit. Robin's body during this time is put into a state of suspended animation. She is unable to talk, to move, or do anything. Her eyes develop a white glaze over them and Robin is, basically, out for two days.
Due to her time in confinement Robin has a fear of closed in dark places and prolonged silences. So her quarters have a low light and the sounds of the ocean.
Robin loves working out especially running. She is able to do a six minute mile consistently.
She enjoys chai-lattes, playing cards, and visiting the beach whenever possible.
If this were a movie Robin would be played by Jessica Chastain.
