History:

Nicholas Allen Harper never knew his mother, she passed away shortly before his second birthday, leaving his father to raise the young child. Allan did the best he could and when he wasn't able to fully take care of young Nick he would take him to his sister house so they could watch him when he had to travel for work. Nick did not mind this, his cousins were a fun bunch to be around and his aunt and uncle treated him like one of thier own. When Nick was seven his father got a new job in a small town outside of Memphis, TN, so the two of them moved several hours away from thier family and soon settled into thier new life. 

The move did not go as well for Nick as his father had hoped, starting a new school was hard for young Nick and making friends proved to be even harder. Even after getting Nick involved in after school activities, he still could not seem to find friends to get along with, Nick just wasn't the outgoing type. Middle school things got a little better, Nick joined the football team and ended up being a very good linemen, a few years later he joined the high school team and helped them win the state championship. 

When he came time for college, his father insisted he go get his degree, Allan had waited later in his life and knew the struggle Nick would face if he waited. So with his family backing him he enrolled in the University of Memphis with a plan to get a degree in Political Science. This plan lasted for all of one year, one night after some drinking Nick had a realization that he wanted to do more with his life. Political Science wasn't want he wanted to do, deep down he knew he just picked that degree to appease his father. So in a bold move he withdrew from school and enlisted in the Army, with no real goal in mind except to eventaully come back and finish his degree...one day. 

The Army required him to take the ASVAB, which he scored high on the catagories relating to the medical feild, with the medical feild in mind Nick headed off to basic training at Fort Benning, GA. Once done with both basic training and then the weeks of advanced medical training, Nick was assigned to the 4th Infrantry Divison or the "Warhorse Brigade" as some called them. The Brigade was soon deployed in the spring of 2003 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the brigade conducted operations spanning from the initial push into the Diyala province to taking down insurgents criminal operations and working with Iraqi Security Forces to bring peace to the area. 

Nick was only overseas for little over a year when the Brigade returned home, Nick took some leave and went to see his family for a bit before returning back to Fort Hood. The now Cprl. Harper would once again be deplyed with his Brigade back to Iraq, this trip was hell for Nick; he saw several members of his squad hurt or worse killed before he was sent home, only to return yet again before the full Brigade was finally sent home in the fall of 2006. In 2007 he was promoted to Sergeant shortly before the Brigade moved to its new home in Colorado, Nick looked forward to the move because he knew that his cousin who was in the Air Force had been stationed there for several years. After getting settled he contacted her only to be told that she was "busy", Nick just assumed it was the usualy military business and did not think about it much. The summer of 2008 Nick was told he was to be deployed again, he also learned his cousin Kata was home on leave so he decided to travel back south and see the family again before he left. 

One night after dinner he asked Kata how she liked Colorado and the slightly older woman just looked at him like she did not know what he was talking about, having grown up with the Harris kids he knew when one of them were lying and Kata was the worst, so at her request he did not press the subject. He had no idea at the time about her involment with the Stargate Program. The two parted ways and Nick was sent off with his squad. He would travel overseas three more times before returning back to Fort Carson for training and other logistical work. August of 2013 Nick was informed he was not going to be deployed with his Brigade like in the past and instead was being assigned to something called the "Vedas Expedition", apparently someone who knew someone in the program reccomended him for the expedition. 

My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts, the joker's wild,

The heartbreaker being this face is Britt and I hail from The United States of 'Merica
I have been RPing for Nine? Years
I guess I agree with the TOS and the Site rules.

Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,

Role Play Sample:

USS Shiva
Present day 

The mess hall was busy as usual, with an entire crew plus the expedition members being taken to the Vedas site, the mess crew were busier than normal trying to feed everyone. Nick had been biding his time during the trip hanging around in Med Bay and just wandering the ship; he did not have a set job as of yet, the reason he was assigned to the Expedition was due to the need of medical staff. After waiting in the food line he finally got his dinner and headed to find a seat, though the ship was full of people he did not really know anyone specific. He found a empty seat on the far side of the room a few feet away from a young woman who had her head buried in a notebook. Nick sat down on the other side of the table from her but a seat away and began eating, a few minutes passed as he kept eating when he noticed out of the corner of his eye the young woman looked up. Her brow wrinkled a moment before she looked over to where he sat with a mouth full of food. Nick raised a brow as she stared at him, “Dinner started?” the young woman asked looking down at his tray. Nick slowly nodded and swallowed his mouthful of food, “Yeah, you didn’t notice all the people in here?” he asked. She shook her head and motioned to her notebook, “I’ve been writing a report, must have lost track of time,” her accent puzzled him, it sounded Italian but with a faint hint of English, “Well you want half of my sandwich?” he offered sliding his tray towards her a little bit.

She looked at the other half of the sandwich then back to him, “I’d appreciate it,” he stood up and moved a seat closer to her so she could have better use to the tray. “Not a problem, I know how crazy work can get at times, forgetting to eat is usually the first thing people forget about,” She closed her notebook and organized her papers a bit before picking up the other half of his sandwich. “So are you a doctor?” she asked taking a small bite of the sandwich, Nick looked to medic cross on his shoulder. “No, not yet at least,” he chuckled and shook his head. “Sergeant Nick Halper, US Army,” he told her holding out his hand across the table. The young woman smiled and took his hand in her free one, “Isabella Cooper,” Nick smiled at her, “Civilian?” he asked. Isabella nodded, “Italian Envoy, though I don’t really see what I can do for this expedition, I have no military experience at all,”

Nick shrugged, “I wouldn’t worry about that,” he leaned across the table, “Honestly between you and me, I can’t figure out why I am here either, though I have a suspicion on how I got here,” When he had first asked who recommended him for the expedition the higher ups gave him no answer, but after bit of waiting he got his answer, his cousin who worked in Colorado recommended him for a spot on the Expedition. “And what might your suspicion be?” Cooper asked as she continued eating her part of his sandwich, “I have a cousin in the Air Force who had something to do with this, though I haven't seen her in years.”


“So you think your cousin had something to do with you being here?”

“Why else would I be here on a freaking space ship, heading across the galaxy to some outpost?” Isabella nodded in agreement, “I have decided the universe works in weird ways,” she replied, “Or as my mother said, Ciò che Dio vuole, Io voglio,” Nick did not have a clue what she just said, Isabella smiled at his expression, “It means, “What God wills, I will”. So if the higher power wants something to happen, we can do little but make it happen,” Nick nodded, “That makes sense” he replied quietly, “Though how can we always be sure the higher ups know what they are doing?” Cooper wiped her mouth with a napkin, “That is one of the reasons why I only halfway believe in a higher power, sometimes the only thing you can trust is your own gut.”

Nick finished his half of the sandwich and started in on the little fruit cup that had come with the meal, “So are you the only Envoy, or are there a bunch of you guys like everyone else?” Nick asked shoveling some gr**efruit into his mouth. Isabella shrugged, “Apparently the other Expeditions have several people like me but so far I seem to be the only one for the Vedas Expedition. Though I think this is the first time Italy has sent someone directly but I could be wrong.” Nick finished the fruit cup and neatly stacked his trash on his tray in front of him, he looked back over to the line for food, “I think you’d be alright to get in line now, I’ll go with you because I am still hungry.” Isabella looked over her shoulder and sighed, “I guess so, didn’t eat lunch so I am starved.” Nick grabbed his tray and stood up, “Well come on then!” he said as he started off towards the end of the line, this time determined to get an extra fruit cup.
