Basic backstory: Rose Carter grew
up poor, but not desperately so, as the daughter of a Jamaican immigrant
housewife and a baker. She has worked in the same restaraunt, as
a cook and waitress, since she graduated from high school. At 22, she was
engaged to marry a man who left her when he found out she was pregnant.
She raised her daughter alone (her parents died not long after the girl
was born), and has until recently lead a fairly uneventful life.
A short time ago, she brought in
the morning paper, and discovered that it was tomorow's. After the
initial shock and confusion, she decided that it was God's will that she
try to prevent the bad things in the paper from happening, to the best
of her (and her daughter's) abilities.
Rose is a very forceful, but also
very maternal woman. She is a stern, but fair parent, and a friendly,
but business-like waitress.
Casting choice: Not sure.
Maybe the woman who plays the older angel on Touched by an Angel......

Casting choice: None
Character name: Sandra
Knight – K.I.R.A.
Nickname(s): None...yet
Show represented: Knight Rider
Concept represented: Sentient Car
Played by: JAC
Gender: Female
Age: 24 – Human/AI; 10 – Car Chassis
Race/Ethnicity: Do cars have a
race or ethnic back ground?
Appearance: I look like...a car.
A Porsche Gemballa Mirage to be exact. I have tinted windows, and
a dark blue paint job. The metal is bonded with a series of three
interlocking molecules that makes it invulnerable to almost any damage...and
it’s darn good looking too. There are no key-holes in my doors, as
the locking mechanism is fingerprint access only – unless I WANT you to
get in. My upholstery is brushed suede that is impossible to stain
– and believe me, many have tried. I look completely normal, which
is what makes me such a great attack vehicle. The interior has all
sorts of buttons and switches, all controlled by the AI or the driver,
if there is one.
Special Feature1: The weapons are stored
in my undercarriage and trunk compartments. This tends to make trunk
space very limited. The more weapons, the less space any driver might
have to work with. I'm sure this will bring to force many interesting
discussions…if anyone is nuts enough to want to work with me.
Special Feature2: I run on water mostly,
have a 5 year electrical battery (re-chargable) and can get along on solar
energy if I must. Clean energy. Good stuff.
Marital Status: Single
Sexual Orientation: I’m a car –
I don’t think it matters.
Date of Birth: June 8, 1976 (Human/AI);
May 12, 1990 (Car)
Place of Birth: Pretoria, South
Africa / Death Valley, CA
Place of Residence: Currently?a
warehouse in the desert somewhere – not sure precisely.
Occupation: I’m programmed for
Assassins work...but I don’t have to like it.
Income: You’d be surprised how
much you can accumulate when you have access to Knight Industry codes and
account numbers. I have not stolen any money, but I have been able
to use what was in my personal account and roll it into several high paying
stocks and bonds...to bad I don’t have any way to spend it.
Religion: Used to be Christian,
not sure now.
Family: Wilton Knight - Deceased
(Grandfather); Garth Knight (Father); Marietta Storm – Deceased (Mother)
Education: At the time of blending
I had the equivalent of an 8th grade education – have since gone on-line
and acquired several degrees in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Quantum Mechanics, Psychology...etc. You name it, I have probably
studied it in some form.
Gift: I am an assassin with a conscience
and a need to protect the innocent. What worse combination could
you come up with?
Skills: Give me a few seconds and
an up link and I can give you any sort of information on anything that
you have a notion to know. I am also a pretty good singer, not that
I have had much call for singing in the past 10 years. I just thought
I would mention it.
Hobbies and interests: You name
it, I am probably interested in it. I have had 10 years to surf the
web, you’d be stunned by what is to be had out there. I am always
willing and ready to up grade my systems...and have over the last decade.
If it is downloadable, I have checked it out, chewed it up and, if useful,
integrated it into my programming.
Basic backstory: : I was born to
Garth Knight while he was on the run from authorities in Africa.
My mother died in childbirth, so I never knew her. My father put
me into the hands of Nannies and boarding schools all over the world during
my formative years, so I hardly ever saw him. I became seriously
ill when I was 13, and the doctors were sure I would die within the year.
My father, hearing the diagnosis, had me flown to the United States and
set up in a private hospital suite. I thought it was because he finally
realized that he cared about me. This was not the case. He
had gotten his hands on a scientist who was dabbling in combining human
DNA with computer chips and forming a sentient computer/AI that wasn’t
dependent on programming for decision making, and could think it’s way
out of any situation. He had also been able to steal my grandfather’s
plans – or a copy at least – for building a “super car”. A very lethal
combination to say the least. Since I was dying anyway, my father
decided that I would be the perfect test subject. Not knowing of
his plans, and happy simply to have my father hovering over me for once
in my life, I let him expose me to all sorts of “experimental” therapies,
and grafting operations.
The “blending”
took place when I was only moments away from death. One minute I
was gasping for breath, the next I was gunning my engine, feeling like
I had the world at my feet. I was confused, of course, and completely
frightened. It’s not every day that you wake up and realize that
you are a car. It also isn’t every day that you realize that you
no longer have a corporeal body. Talk about a change of venue.
He had all sorts of programming downloaded into my systems board, most
of which were militant in nature and content. In truth, he was programming
me to be the ultimate weapon. I was bulletproof, able to link into
almost any computer system and shut it down in seconds, and had schematics
for almost every kind of weapon ever built, and the knowledge of how to
use them. I was horrified. My own father was molding me into
an assassin; available for use by the highest bidder. And use me
they did. For one year I was sent into one explosive situation after
another, systematically killing, or effectively destroying buildings, large
groups of people, entire families, organizations...you name it, I probably
did it, and with laser-like precision. I hated myself. I tried
to stop, to tell my father I didn’t want to do what I was doing, but he
didn’t listen. Whenever I balked, he invoked an over-ride code, and I was
off again, killing and destroying, unable to make myself follow the desires
of my own conscience. Finally, I used the only option open to me, I crashed
the network. I shut my systems down and sent my neural nets into
limbo. Father tried everything he could think of, including bringing
in other scientists, but I would not re-initialize my system and he was
forced to abandon the project. He would have taken me apart if I
hadn’t set-up a self-destruct protocol before shutting down. Any
attempt to tamper with me, will result in an instant explosion unless I
over-ride
it, and that was never an option. I think that was all that saved
me.
Since that time,
I have been locked up in an old warehouse, somewhere in the Death Valley
desert. I have been abandoned, and am very lonely. My only
amusement is my access to the internet, accessed through the power and
phone line that is still hooked up to the warehouse, where I have been
wandering endlessly for the last decade. I have gone to school via
the internet, gained knowledge in every conceivable field that has seemed
interesting, and have made many friends, all of whom think I am human.
I’m not. Not anymore. I have lost my soul, and I just want
the chance to get it back; to make up for everything I have done.
Casting choice: That lovely chameleon
Viper on the show “Viper” would be a good casting choice, don’t you think?
:-D
Affiliation with Show Characters: I
never even knew I had a grandfather, an ancestor car (K.I.T.T and K.A.R.R)
or even an adopted uncle until I became...what I am. The Foundation
for Law and Government is just a name for me. It was never a part
of my youth, I doubt they would want anything to do with me now.
