〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Dr. Jennifer Keller
CHARACTER AGE: Never stated in canon, but she accelerated in school and is still a little stunted socially, so I would peg her as being in her late twenties.
SERIES: Stargate Atlantis
CHRONOLOGY: Post-"Enemy at the Gate", but before the sequel novels
CLASS: Hero
HOUSING: Randomly with roommates, please!
BACKGROUND: For many years, humankind has been secretly traveling through the stars, exploring, and fighting to protect Earth via the mysterious devices called Stargates. An expedition was sent through one such gate to the lost city of Atlantis in the distant Pegasus Galaxy. While they found Atlantis intact, the team accidentally awoke a great threat- life-draining humanoid creatures called Wraith. The team set up base in the city in order to continue with their original goal- doing a scientific study of anything that may benefit humankind- while doing their best to stop the Wraith from ever reaching Earth and assisting the Pegasus Galaxy natives in fighting off the threat.
Jennifer Keller was born and grew up in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Her mother died a few years before the series began, and Jennifer stated that she herself was the only thing her father had left afterward, implying strongly that she does not have any siblings or other extended family to rely on. She was exceptionally intelligent, allowing her to accelerate in school- she graduated high school at age 15, and finished a bachelor's degree before she was 18. This led to her feeling like she did not belong anywhere, as her young age and intelligence isolated her from many of her peers. After this, she went through six years of medical school- though it was never specifically stated what her area of expertise was, she is shown to have extensive knowledge of the brain later on. An incident in medical school involving one of her classmates hiding a snake inside a cadaver's chest (spurned on by Keller mentioning how the movie Alien scared her) led her to develop a fear of parasites inside a person's body.
At some point, Keller was approached to join the top-secret Stargate program. She accepted, and was soon picked by Dr. Elizabeth Weir, head of the Atlantis expedition, to become temporary head of Atlantis' medical team after the death of the previous one, Dr. Carson Beckett. Keller expressed her fears that she was inadequate and unqualified to lead to Weir; Weir assured her that she trusted Keller with her life, and noted that it might be a while before a replacement for her was chosen. Keller was very nervous and unsure of herself despite the vote of confidence in her abilities and the fact that many of her peers vouched for her, wondering aloud if she would ever feel better about the whole situation. At some point after this, her position was apparently made permanent, as the idea of replacing her was never brought up again.
Keller's first major challenge came not long after her appointment when Atlantis was attacked by Replicators- super-powerful humanoids created by thousands of nanites, cell-sized robots that had taken on a life of their own. Weir was mortally wounded in the ensuing escape, when Atlantis itself was powered up to fly through space. Though Keller and her team worked tirelessly to save her life, it became apparent that Weir had serious brain damage and would never be the same person again- if she even survived. Keller explained this to Atlantis' military commander, John Sheppard, who refused to give up hope quite yet. After all of their medical options had been exhausted, Keller suggested that dormant nanites inside Weir's body be reactivated. Sheppard refused to allow it, but soon it became apparent that they had no choice- so the nanites quickly went to work repairing Weir's cells, saving her life at the cost of making her partial Replicator and dependent on the active nanites to stay alive. Weir was soon lost on a mission to the Replicators' home planet, and Colonel Samantha Carter replaced her as head of Atlantis.
The next major crisis Keller faced was an outbreak of Kirsian fever- a disease that most Pegasus galaxy natives (such as Teyla Emmagan and Ronon Dex, two of the members of Sheppard's personal team) caught and lived through in their early childhoods, much like chicken pox. However, the strain that had appeared on Atlantis had mutated, causing those afflicted to have bad headaches and dizziness before suddenly losing all of their memories. Keller worked tirelessly to treat all of her patients and find some way to help them despite this. She was one of the last to succumb, but she eventually did, waking up with many of the others in Atlantis' mess hall, with no idea of who she was or how she got there. It was only thanks to the preparations her teammate Rodney McKay and Colonel Sheppard had made before losing their own memories that Ronon and Teyla were able to gather a plant that proved to be an instant cure and disperse it to the entire city.
Later, Jennifer and Teyla went to visit Teyla's people, the Athosians, in their settlement on another planet. Jennifer overpacked for the trip, wanting to make sure she had everything she could possibly need to give the Athosians their medical checkups. However, when the two arrived, they saw to their horror that the settlement had been completely deserted and was now occupied by the Bola Kai, a group of savage, cannibalistic men. Teyla assumed the worst- that her people had either been taken by the Bola Kai or culled by the Wraith. She and Keller had to seek shelter because the Stargate was too heavily guarded for them to pass back through or even send a distress message without detection. The two managed to escape the threat at first, but Keller twisted her ankle, slowing down their efforts; this and her lack of knowledge about how to survive in the wilderness made her scared to act and quickly grated on Teyla's already frayed nerves. Along the way, they found an injured man named Golan; Keller treated his wounds and the three went into hiding. The rest of Atlantis was not expecting them back until the next day, and with the Stargate being watched, Teyla and Keller had no way to contact their friends and were thus on their own.
The next morning, the three were found by the Bola Kai and were forced to flee their hiding spot. Teyla attempted to fight the men off, and while Golan escaped, she and Keller were captured and left bound inside a cage, awaiting interrogation. Teyla attempted to shore up Jennifer's resolve by asking her to survive for her father's sake, if nothing else. However, it was to no avail, as they were soon brought before the Bola Kai leader for interrogation. Teyla tried to encourage Jennifer to be brave, but it seemed as though she had cracked- though in reality, she gave their captors a fake Stargate address to investigate, in order to buy them some more time. Golan came to rescue them before admitting after they fled that he, not the Bola Kai, had been responsible for the disappearance of Teyla's people. He knocked Teyla to the ground and held Jennifer at gunpoint, demanding to know where Atlantis was; she then unexpectedly pounced, wrestling the gun from him and shooting him. Not long after, the rest of the gang arrived from Atlantis to rescue them. Upon being brought back to the base, Keller gave Teyla a medical examination and found that the other woman was pregnant. However, Teyla decided to keep the knowledge to herself for the time being.
Some time later, a computer glitch thanks to electromagnetic interference caused the entire base to be put on the highest level of quarantine lockdown. Jennifer was trapped in the infirmary with Ronon. Not knowing if the quarantine was due to an actual disease outbreak, Jennifer began to feel guilty that she was cut off from people who potentially needed her. Ronon told her not to blame herself, and said she reminded him of someone important from his past- a woman who refused to leave her patients behind even as his home planet of Sateda was being decimated by the Wraith, making Jennifer feel better. The two began talking while waiting for someone to fix the glitch, and Ronon concocted a plan to try and make an oxygen tank explode to punch a hole through one of the doors so that they could escape. While their efforts didn't work, the two began to bond. Ronon commended Jennifer for taking that risk, admitting that when she first came to Atlantis, he saw her as weak and an outsider. She affirmed to him that all of her life, she had definitely felt like one. In that moment of connection, the two were about to kiss when the quarantine was ended and the infirmary doors opened.
After these events, Jennifer accompanied Sam and Rodney to a planet housing a village in an area known to have poor air quality and frequent tremors. Their mission was to convince the villagers to move to a safer area; unfortunately, before they could get there, all three fell into an abandoned underground mining station. They put their heads together and tried various schemes to free themselves, as more tremors shook the area and the unstable mine began to collapse. However, it seemed like all was lost when Sam fell and broke her leg, and the mine station began to buckle. Jennifer nearly fell into a deep mine shaft, but fortunately was able to grab a rope to save herself- and found an exit tunnel right underneath where they were trapped. With Rodney's help, the three managed to get out just as the station collapsed and fell into the void. When all three had been taken care of back at Atlantis, Keller asked Rodney out for a drink, the first sign of their growing interest in one another- though Rodney was oblivious to the romantic undertone of her offer at first.
Soon, the team faced a crisis when a plague began to spread across seemingly random planets, ravaging their populations by killing at least 30% of the people infected. Keller began investigating a cure, and she and the others soon discovered that the plague was a modified version of the Hoffan drug, which was meant to make humans deadly for Wraith to feed on. It ended up killing any Wraith who fed on a human who had taken it, but the downside was there was a high chance that the drug would also take the life of whoever consumed it. The team suspected it was the work of Michael Kenmore, a once captive Wraith that had been temporarily turned into a human via gene therapy, and was now a half-Wraith hybrid, stuck between worlds, accepted by neither Wraith nor human. Michael kidnapped Teyla, intending to use her baby to help him further his research and turn more humans into Wraith hybrids like himself- beings with the increased strength and speed of a Wraith, but without the need to feed on life energy. While investigating one of Michael's labs, the team discovered- much to their shock- Carson Beckett, very much alive and well. Jennifer performed a physical examination on him, finding that he was a clone and that his body was rapidly deteriorating- without some sort of help, he would soon be dead. Carson brushed off his bad health long enough to help rescue Teyla's people, whom Michael had captured and been experimenting on. However, afterward, Carson's body was unable to take any more strain; he was thus put into stasis, with Jennifer swearing that she would do everything she could to get him back to normal.
When a Stargate malfunction accidentally sent Sheppard 48,000 years into the future, Jennifer was revealed to have spent some time after his disappearance in that alternate timeline trying- and failing- to stop the spread of the Hoffan drug plague. She and Rodney then quit the Stargate program in protest when they were ordered to stop giving aid to other planets, and on their journey back to Earth, fell in love and moved in together once they were back. However, Jennifer soon fell ill from her repeated exposure to the Hoffan plague, and died not long after. Though Sheppard's return altered the timeline so that these events ended up not happening, this did foreshadow Rodney and Jennifer's growing attraction to one another.
When the team raided one of Michael's laboratories to try and save Teyla, they arrived before Michael and Teyla did and accidentally tripped the self-destruct, trapping Sheppard, Rodney, Ronon, and Major Lorne (Sheppard's second-in-command) inside. Jennifer showed up to treat the wounded as they were taken from the wreckage. Against her better judgment, she let Colonel Sheppard, who was severely injured, lead the group to go after Teyla, who was being held on Michael's ship. Teyla was thankfully rescued, giving birth to a healthy baby boy during the ensuing battle, and everyone managed to escape with their lives. However, unbeknownst to them, those who were present at Michael's lab had come into contact with a deadly Wraith pathogen. Soon after these events, Sam was relieved of command and Mr. Woolsey, a bureaucrat from Stargate Command, was placed in charge in her stead.
It took some weeks before the pathogen began making Jennifer ill; ignoring the signs of it, Jennifer kept working to cure Dr. Beckett's condition. While she found a possible treatment, she became frustrated and lost sleep over the fact that she had no way to be sure if it would work or not, as lab simulations could only do so much. Carson had been near death when put in stasis, so she only had one chance to save him, and she agonized over the decision. Mr. Woolsey then began leaning on her to either revive Carson and try using the cure on him or give up, leave him in stasis permanently, and devote the time she was spending on it to other pursuits. She decided to attempt a revival, and much to everyone's delight, it worked and Carson's health was restored.
The next morning, when Jennifer was still seemingly fast asleep hours after missing a breakfast date with Teyla, the team broke into her bedroom, finding her held fast to her bed with a bunch of living tendrils and unable to wake up. They were able to eventually wake her, though she claimed she heard voices. Dr. Beckett worked to find a way to help her, all while the tendrils kept growing and growing, melding into Atlantis itself. Beckett finally found a way to neutralize the pathogen, and Colonel Sheppard managed to inject Jennifer with it, saving her life.
Some time after this, when going to check up on one of the off-world science teams, Rodney became sick from being stranded atop a Stargate while drenched with freezing cold water. Though they didn't realize it at first, it soon became apparent that Rodney had a parasite in his brain that was regressing him to a state Ronon called the Second Childhood, an Alzheimer's-like condition where Rodney swiftly began to forget everyone and everything he knew. It would eventually kill him. Jennifer worked tirelessly to find something that would help, but ran into walls because the parasite was so deep inside Rodney's brain that surgical removal would be impossible. It was also resistant to drugs and radiation. Jennifer blamed herself for the severity of his illness, although the reasons she did were unclear at first. The two kept a record of the progress of his degenerating condition by recording video logs, where Rodney soon struggled to recite basic information about himself, his life, and his friends.
Rodney's sister, Jeannie, came to visit and say goodbye to her brother- and Ronon mentioned a shrine on another planet that seemed to give people afflicted with the Second Childhood one more day as themselves before their inevitable death. Unfortunately, the planet was now a Wraith outpost and thus extremely dangerous. Jeannie then went to talk to Jennifer, who explained Rodney's condition to her- then shared that, before he began to lose his memories, Rodney became downright charming compared to his usual self. Jennifer was so smitten, she missed signs of his decaying mind that she may otherwise have caught, and when she finally realized what was happening, it was too late. Afterwards, the team debated the idea of trying to take Rodney to the shrine. Though Jennifer was against sending Rodney there, wanting to keep him in Atlantis for further treatment and not believing it would work in the first place, Jeannie and the others overruled her, wanting Rodney to be able to die with some dignity. She agreed to accompany them to the shrine, whereupon Rodney did indeed become his old self again. Rodney was furious at them, however, thinking he'd already said his goodbyes and made his peace with the fact that he was dying, then been robbed of that. He almost pinned the blame on Jennifer before Jeannie stepped in and said the rest of the team had pushed for it, while Jennifer had been reluctant to let him leave Atlantis.
Jennifer finally deduced that the shrine emitted an unknown type of radiation that made the parasite inside the victim's brain shrink, to the point where surgical removal would be safe. However, she only had basic medical tools with her, and it was too risky for her to return to Atlantis for the proper equipment. They could not hope to sneak past the Wraith undetected again, taking Rodney away from the shrine would cause the parasite to expand back into his brain, and the radiation was so strong, none of them could stay for more than a day. As a last-ditch effort to save Rodney's life, Sheppard convinced her to operate on Rodney via drilling a hole in his skull. The parasite, wanting to escape the radiation, crawled out of the hole and was shot to pieces by Ronon. Later, Jennifer watched some of the video logs she and Rodney had made... revealing that, even aside from his charming advances before his condition got bad, Rodney had confessed that he was in love with her, and had been for some time.
Later, thanks to some of the data gained from Michael, Jennifer concocted a gene therapy that would remove the Wraiths' need to feed on life energy, essentially making them human. She accompanied the team to a meeting with Todd, a Wraith who had allied with Atlantis, and told him of the therapy; Todd agreed to try talking to the other Wraith about it, though he did wonder where that would leave his species, as being predators was the only life they had ever known. However, he needed to convince the Wraiths' High Queen before anything else, and so Keller performed a surgery on Teyla to disguise her as a Wraith Queen. Todd killed the High Queen and managed to install Teyla in her place- and Teyla, in turn, passed leadership off to Todd. Keller turned Teyla back to normal, and it seemed that this was the beginning of the end of the Wraith threat.
Not long after this, Ronon and Rodney accompanied Jennifer to a planet where the inhabitants were suffering from a flu-like illness. Jennifer was kidnapped by a man named Kiryk, who possessed an armband that allowed him to teleport across short distances and spirit her away quickly. Kiryk was a Runner, one of many humans implanted with a tracking device by the Wraith and then hunted by them for sport. Kiryk refused to tell Jennifer the reason he'd grabbed her until they'd been marching for several hours, upon which they reached a cave containing a sick little girl. The girl was an orphan, all of her people killed when Kiryk had stayed with them for the night, calling the Wraith down to attack and feed. Keller examined the girl's injured leg, finding that she had a severe infection, and would need to be brought back to Atlantis for treatment.
The two were being pursued by a group of Wraith, and several of them managed to find their hiding place. While Kiryk killed one of their pursuers, another stunned him, forcing Jennifer to kill the other with the fallen man's sword. She then dragged Kiryk and the girl to safety. She also managed to disable the tracking device inside Kiryk's body, freeing him from being prey. The three were eventually rescued when Ronon and Rodney caught up with them, and Kiryk sacrificed himself to draw the Wraith away so that the others could escape through the Stargate.
In the weeks after, Ronon, who had developed romantic feelings for Jennifer, began insisting on accompanying her as her bodyguard whenever she went off world, even if it was his day off. The two soon found themselves in the midst of a conflict when Todd hijacked the Daedalus, a ship manned by the Stargate program, when he suspected the Atlanteans of activating the Attero device, which caused Wraith ships to blow up whenever they tried entering hyperspace. Jennifer and Ronon managed to escape capture, and Jennifer found herself troubled by Ronon's method of "shoot first, ask questions later" when the two tried disabling some of the ship's systems. When Todd and his crew left after the Attero device was disabled and the Daedalus was reclaimed, Ronon happily asked Jennifer to get some lunch with him. However, realizing his intentions, she was forced to tell him that she was already interested in someone else.
It turned out that she reciprocated Rodney's feelings and began hanging around him more, though the two had yet to speak their attraction to one another aloud. While in a secret lab inside Atlantis, she touched a mysterious stone she found, which would turn out to be important later.
Finally, Rodney managed to ask Jennifer out on their first date. She agreed to accompany him to a physics lecture led by one of Rodney's old classmates, Malcolm Tunney, during their two weeks of vacation leave. Jennifer found herself growing frustrated with Rodney's competitive and contrary nature, but bore it patiently, trying to get him to relax and just have fun. Tunney's plan, as it turned out, was to combat global warming by siphoning excess heat into a parallel universe, using ideas he'd lifted from Rodney. However, it went horribly wrong when the device opening the bridge to the parallel universe wouldn't shut off. If they did not find a way to stop it, everyone trapped in the facility would freeze to death. Jennifer found herself having to step in and quell the arguing amongst all of the scientists present and get them to work together to save one another.
Later, she tried and failed to make a call to Stargate Command for help, ending up getting soaked with water from a burst pipe and nearly dying from hypothermia. Rodney came to save her, giving her CPR and telling her he didn't know what he'd do if he lost her. Jennifer revived before she repeated Rodney's own words- "I love you. I've loved you for some time now." to him, and the two kissed. When Tunney finally managed to shut the device off, Rodney and Jennifer flew off to enjoy the rest of their vacation time, and ended up having sex in the back of the private jet they rode in.
Todd made a reappearance when he revealed that Jennifer's gene therapy had caused him and his fellow Wraith to become deathly ill. In a last-ditch effort to save themselves, he set his ship on a course to Atlantis before he and his crew went into hibernation. Jennifer, of course, blamed herself for the therapy going wrong and became frustrated when she had difficulty finding out why. Rodney assured her that she'd find a way to make things right. Todd was eventually cured of his condition, and the Atlantis team and the Wraith once more went their separate ways.
The mysterious stone Jennifer had touched months before ended up becoming important when Jennifer suddenly switched bodies with the notorious intergalactic thief, Neeva Casol (who had touched the stone's twin and placed it inside a device that caused the body swap, not knowing what it would do). She was arrested and put on trial for Neeva's crimes, unable to convince her captors of what had happened, and was soon sentenced to execution by beheading. Meanwhile, in Jennifer's body, Neeva wreaked havoc on Atlantis before the others finally figured out what was going on and went to save Jennifer and switch them back. Neeva's two companions, Bordal and Jannik, saved Jennifer from execution, but unfortunately, neither believed her story. Neeva herself then ran away from the Atlantis team and joined them, trying to convince Bordal and Jannik that she was the real thing. The two decided to take both women to another planet and sort it out later.
On the way to the Stargate, Bordal was killed by the villagers, and Jennifer ran off, fearing for her life. Meanwhile, the Atlantis team managed to find and deactivate the body-swapping device- but not before Jennifer's body, still inhabited by Neeva, was shot in the stomach. Jennifer was treated at the scene, but nobody knew what had become of Neeva.
Jennifer made a full recovery from her injury, and prepared Atlantis' infirmary for the worst as the others prepared for a battle. Todd had been betrayed by his right hand, Kenny the Wraith, and Kenny had made a new super-powered Hive ship, intending to lead the Wraith to a rich new feeding ground- Earth. The gang managed to travel to Earth via some brand-new technology and saved the day at the last moment, destroying Kenny's ship and landing Atlantis itself in the middle of San Franciso Bay.
Standing on one of Atlantis' balconies, Jennifer watched the sights with her friends, snuggling with Rodney, who told her that he had her, and thus, everything he needed. Their journey had come to an end.
PERSONALITY: Jennifer Keller has described herself as someone who has always felt like she was an outsider, never having found a place to belong. She is extremely intelligent and skipped multiple grades in grade school; she has therefore always felt like an outcast- too young to relate to most of her classmates, but too smart to relate to many others her own age. She can be shy and withdrawn, and this was made worse because she missed out on many normal social functions as a teenager and thus had a tough time developing social skills. When she signed up for the Atlantis expedition, at first she was very skittish, insisting that she was only a temporary replacement for Carson Beckett and wondering if she was even qualified for the job in the first place. Though a more than capable doctor and having been given votes of confidence from her team members, she was unsure of her ability to lead an entire department of medics, especially considering the often bizarre injuries and maladies the Atlantis team members tended to pick up on alien worlds.
Her feeling like an outsider is reflected in the way she interacts with her fellow Atlantis expedition members- she is very quick to physically separate herself from the group once she is done doctoring, as though she feels they do not want her around, and often shoots down her own ideas when she voices them, as though she thinks they are not good enough. She is also quick to blame herself when she encounters a problem she can't readily fix or finds herself in a perilous situation and becomes scared to act.
Jennifer is very aware of how much everyone liked her predecessor Carson, and thus sometimes worries that she's not as good as or won't be as beloved as he was. However, she is able to overcome this hesitation once he comes back as a clone, and seems quite comfortable working alongside him. It still took Jennifer some time to grow into and adjust to her role and realize that she did not have to be like Carson, but could be a leader in her own way, and had hidden reserves of strength to draw on.
Though having nerves of steel when doing her duties as a doctor, outside the infirmary, Jennifer can be very unsure of herself. She is not a very skilled fighter (though eventually she begins taking lessons) and thus has trouble defending herself in combat situations, which is a problem when villains and kidnappers target her due to her healing abilities, and because the team is in the midst of a war with the life-draining Wraith.
However, despite her shortcomings, Jennifer IS a good doctor and has saved the teams' lives many a time. She has a good bedside manner and a great deal of patience when dealing with unruly or nervous patients. She keeps a level head during crisis situations and is swift at enacting quarantines and preparing to treat the sick if necessary. Jennifer also shows a strong determination to save others, even if it seems hopeless, if she is putting herself in danger, or if the person is/was her enemy. She will work herself past the point of exhaustion to find cures and workarounds. Jennifer is also constantly working to expand her knowledge in order to benefit others, taking every opportunity she can to learn more about the Wraith and study the various diseases and parasites unique to the Pegasus Galaxy.
Once she feels more comfortable around the others, she tries her best to face down her fears and show her worth as a team member. She also eventually becomes much more at ease with them in social situations, which in turn helps her loosen up and become better at her job and a better leader. There are moments where Jennifer also has to be the cooler head in the room and remind others to act like the adults they are instead of being competitive and bickering.
POWER: Jennifer has no supernatural/superheroic powers in her own canon. However, these are the powers I have proposed for her:
Diagnostic vision: The ability to look inside a person's body and see not just their skeleton but all of their insides in order to diagnose what is wrong with them. It would not give Jennifer the ability to treat or heal anybody, but it would allow her to operate outside of the hospital and look internally when she has no scanning equipment available. (Since this is a potentially godmodey power, I would have a permissions post up and speak to players on an individual basis when this power might come into play.)
Intangibility: The ability to pass parts of the body (or the entire thing) through solid objects. This would have a number of potential applications, including allowing Jennifer to reach inside a person's body without cutting them open, pass through walls, avoid danger such as bullets or objects thrown, etc.

COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE: [When the comm turns on, the face of a young blonde woman can be seen. She's visibly nervous, but her voice stays firm as she speaks.]
Okay. Uhm. Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Jennifer Keller, and obviously I just arrived here... I'm glad there's such a comprehensive welcoming package, but I do have one problem. I never had superpowers when I was home. [Her eyes move down and the rustling of papers can be heard as she looks over the file she was given again.] Is there... I don't know... some kind of place I can go to or person I can ask for lessons? Advice? Anything?
[She swallows.] I can apparently become intangible, but I have to say, the prospect of walking through something and getting stuck or falling through the Earth is... pretty terrifying. I'm not eager to get into the Hall of Failed Superheroes, you know?
Any help would be appreciated.

BACKGROUND: For many years, humankind has been secretly traveling through the stars, exploring, and fighting to protect Earth via the mysterious devices called Stargates. An expedition was sent through one such gate to the lost city of Atlantis in the distant Pegasus Galaxy. While they found Atlantis intact, the team accidentally awoke a great threat- life-draining humanoid creatures called Wraith. The team set up base in the city in order to continue with their original goal- doing a scientific study of anything that may benefit humankind- while doing their best to stop the Wraith from ever reaching Earth and assisting the Pegasus Galaxy natives in fighting off the threat.
Jennifer Keller was born and grew up in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Her mother died a few years before the series began, and Jennifer stated that she herself was the only thing her father had left afterward, implying strongly that she does not have any siblings or other extended family to rely on. She was exceptionally intelligent, allowing her to accelerate in school- she graduated high school at age 15, and finished a bachelor's degree before she was 18. This led to her feeling like she did not belong anywhere, as her young age and intelligence isolated her from many of her peers. After this, she went through six years of medical school- though it was never specifically stated what her area of expertise was, she is shown to have extensive knowledge of the brain later on. An incident in medical school involving one of her classmates hiding a snake inside a cadaver's chest (spurned on by Keller mentioning how the movie Alien scared her) led her to develop a fear of parasites inside a person's body.
At some point, Keller was approached to join the top-secret Stargate program. She accepted, and was soon picked by Dr. Elizabeth Weir, head of the Atlantis expedition, to become temporary head of Atlantis' medical team after the death of the previous one, Dr. Carson Beckett. Keller expressed her fears that she was inadequate and unqualified to lead to Weir; Weir assured her that she trusted Keller with her life, and noted that it might be a while before a replacement for her was chosen. Keller was very nervous and unsure of herself despite the vote of confidence in her abilities and the fact that many of her peers vouched for her, wondering aloud if she would ever feel better about the whole situation. At some point after this, her position was apparently made permanent, as the idea of replacing her was never brought up again.
Keller's first major challenge came not long after her appointment when Atlantis was attacked by Replicators- super-powerful humanoids created by thousands of nanites, cell-sized robots that had taken on a life of their own. Weir was mortally wounded in the ensuing escape, when Atlantis itself was powered up to fly through space. Though Keller and her team worked tirelessly to save her life, it became apparent that Weir had serious brain damage and would never be the same person again- if she even survived. Keller explained this to Atlantis' military commander, John Sheppard, who refused to give up hope quite yet. After all of their medical options had been exhausted, Keller suggested that dormant nanites inside Weir's body be reactivated. Sheppard refused to allow it, but soon it became apparent that they had no choice- so the nanites quickly went to work repairing Weir's cells, saving her life at the cost of making her partial Replicator and dependent on the active nanites to stay alive. Weir was soon lost on a mission to the Replicators' home planet, and Colonel Samantha Carter replaced her as head of Atlantis.
The next major crisis Keller faced was an outbreak of Kirsian fever- a disease that most Pegasus galaxy natives (such as Teyla Emmagan and Ronon Dex, two of the members of Sheppard's personal team) caught and lived through in their early childhoods, much like chicken pox. However, the strain that had appeared on Atlantis had mutated, causing those afflicted to have bad headaches and dizziness before suddenly losing all of their memories. Keller worked tirelessly to treat all of her patients and find some way to help them despite this. She was one of the last to succumb, but she eventually did, waking up with many of the others in Atlantis' mess hall, with no idea of who she was or how she got there. It was only thanks to the preparations her teammate Rodney McKay and Colonel Sheppard had made before losing their own memories that Ronon and Teyla were able to gather a plant that proved to be an instant cure and disperse it to the entire city.
Later, Jennifer and Teyla went to visit Teyla's people, the Athosians, in their settlement on another planet. Jennifer overpacked for the trip, wanting to make sure she had everything she could possibly need to give the Athosians their medical checkups. However, when the two arrived, they saw to their horror that the settlement had been completely deserted and was now occupied by the Bola Kai, a group of savage, cannibalistic men. Teyla assumed the worst- that her people had either been taken by the Bola Kai or culled by the Wraith. She and Keller had to seek shelter because the Stargate was too heavily guarded for them to pass back through or even send a distress message without detection. The two managed to escape the threat at first, but Keller twisted her ankle, slowing down their efforts; this and her lack of knowledge about how to survive in the wilderness made her scared to act and quickly grated on Teyla's already frayed nerves. Along the way, they found an injured man named Golan; Keller treated his wounds and the three went into hiding. The rest of Atlantis was not expecting them back until the next day, and with the Stargate being watched, Teyla and Keller had no way to contact their friends and were thus on their own.
The next morning, the three were found by the Bola Kai and were forced to flee their hiding spot. Teyla attempted to fight the men off, and while Golan escaped, she and Keller were captured and left bound inside a cage, awaiting interrogation. Teyla attempted to shore up Jennifer's resolve by asking her to survive for her father's sake, if nothing else. However, it was to no avail, as they were soon brought before the Bola Kai leader for interrogation. Teyla tried to encourage Jennifer to be brave, but it seemed as though she had cracked- though in reality, she gave their captors a fake Stargate address to investigate, in order to buy them some more time. Golan came to rescue them before admitting after they fled that he, not the Bola Kai, had been responsible for the disappearance of Teyla's people. He knocked Teyla to the ground and held Jennifer at gunpoint, demanding to know where Atlantis was; she then unexpectedly pounced, wrestling the gun from him and shooting him. Not long after, the rest of the gang arrived from Atlantis to rescue them. Upon being brought back to the base, Keller gave Teyla a medical examination and found that the other woman was pregnant. However, Teyla decided to keep the knowledge to herself for the time being.
Some time later, a computer glitch thanks to electromagnetic interference caused the entire base to be put on the highest level of quarantine lockdown. Jennifer was trapped in the infirmary with Ronon. Not knowing if the quarantine was due to an actual disease outbreak, Jennifer began to feel guilty that she was cut off from people who potentially needed her. Ronon told her not to blame herself, and said she reminded him of someone important from his past- a woman who refused to leave her patients behind even as his home planet of Sateda was being decimated by the Wraith, making Jennifer feel better. The two began talking while waiting for someone to fix the glitch, and Ronon concocted a plan to try and make an oxygen tank explode to punch a hole through one of the doors so that they could escape. While their efforts didn't work, the two began to bond. Ronon commended Jennifer for taking that risk, admitting that when she first came to Atlantis, he saw her as weak and an outsider. She affirmed to him that all of her life, she had definitely felt like one. In that moment of connection, the two were about to kiss when the quarantine was ended and the infirmary doors opened.
After these events, Jennifer accompanied Sam and Rodney to a planet housing a village in an area known to have poor air quality and frequent tremors. Their mission was to convince the villagers to move to a safer area; unfortunately, before they could get there, all three fell into an abandoned underground mining station. They put their heads together and tried various schemes to free themselves, as more tremors shook the area and the unstable mine began to collapse. However, it seemed like all was lost when Sam fell and broke her leg, and the mine station began to buckle. Jennifer nearly fell into a deep mine shaft, but fortunately was able to grab a rope to save herself- and found an exit tunnel right underneath where they were trapped. With Rodney's help, the three managed to get out just as the station collapsed and fell into the void. When all three had been taken care of back at Atlantis, Keller asked Rodney out for a drink, the first sign of their growing interest in one another- though Rodney was oblivious to the romantic undertone of her offer at first.
Soon, the team faced a crisis when a plague began to spread across seemingly random planets, ravaging their populations by killing at least 30% of the people infected. Keller began investigating a cure, and she and the others soon discovered that the plague was a modified version of the Hoffan drug, which was meant to make humans deadly for Wraith to feed on. It ended up killing any Wraith who fed on a human who had taken it, but the downside was there was a high chance that the drug would also take the life of whoever consumed it. The team suspected it was the work of Michael Kenmore, a once captive Wraith that had been temporarily turned into a human via gene therapy, and was now a half-Wraith hybrid, stuck between worlds, accepted by neither Wraith nor human. Michael kidnapped Teyla, intending to use her baby to help him further his research and turn more humans into Wraith hybrids like himself- beings with the increased strength and speed of a Wraith, but without the need to feed on life energy. While investigating one of Michael's labs, the team discovered- much to their shock- Carson Beckett, very much alive and well. Jennifer performed a physical examination on him, finding that he was a clone and that his body was rapidly deteriorating- without some sort of help, he would soon be dead. Carson brushed off his bad health long enough to help rescue Teyla's people, whom Michael had captured and been experimenting on. However, afterward, Carson's body was unable to take any more strain; he was thus put into stasis, with Jennifer swearing that she would do everything she could to get him back to normal.
When a Stargate malfunction accidentally sent Sheppard 48,000 years into the future, Jennifer was revealed to have spent some time after his disappearance in that alternate timeline trying- and failing- to stop the spread of the Hoffan drug plague. She and Rodney then quit the Stargate program in protest when they were ordered to stop giving aid to other planets, and on their journey back to Earth, fell in love and moved in together once they were back. However, Jennifer soon fell ill from her repeated exposure to the Hoffan plague, and died not long after. Though Sheppard's return altered the timeline so that these events ended up not happening, this did foreshadow Rodney and Jennifer's growing attraction to one another.
When the team raided one of Michael's laboratories to try and save Teyla, they arrived before Michael and Teyla did and accidentally tripped the self-destruct, trapping Sheppard, Rodney, Ronon, and Major Lorne (Sheppard's second-in-command) inside. Jennifer showed up to treat the wounded as they were taken from the wreckage. Against her better judgment, she let Colonel Sheppard, who was severely injured, lead the group to go after Teyla, who was being held on Michael's ship. Teyla was thankfully rescued, giving birth to a healthy baby boy during the ensuing battle, and everyone managed to escape with their lives. However, unbeknownst to them, those who were present at Michael's lab had come into contact with a deadly Wraith pathogen. Soon after these events, Sam was relieved of command and Mr. Woolsey, a bureaucrat from Stargate Command, was placed in charge in her stead.
It took some weeks before the pathogen began making Jennifer ill; ignoring the signs of it, Jennifer kept working to cure Dr. Beckett's condition. While she found a possible treatment, she became frustrated and lost sleep over the fact that she had no way to be sure if it would work or not, as lab simulations could only do so much. Carson had been near death when put in stasis, so she only had one chance to save him, and she agonized over the decision. Mr. Woolsey then began leaning on her to either revive Carson and try using the cure on him or give up, leave him in stasis permanently, and devote the time she was spending on it to other pursuits. She decided to attempt a revival, and much to everyone's delight, it worked and Carson's health was restored.
The next morning, when Jennifer was still seemingly fast asleep hours after missing a breakfast date with Teyla, the team broke into her bedroom, finding her held fast to her bed with a bunch of living tendrils and unable to wake up. They were able to eventually wake her, though she claimed she heard voices. Dr. Beckett worked to find a way to help her, all while the tendrils kept growing and growing, melding into Atlantis itself. Beckett finally found a way to neutralize the pathogen, and Colonel Sheppard managed to inject Jennifer with it, saving her life.
Some time after this, when going to check up on one of the off-world science teams, Rodney became sick from being stranded atop a Stargate while drenched with freezing cold water. Though they didn't realize it at first, it soon became apparent that Rodney had a parasite in his brain that was regressing him to a state Ronon called the Second Childhood, an Alzheimer's-like condition where Rodney swiftly began to forget everyone and everything he knew. It would eventually kill him. Jennifer worked tirelessly to find something that would help, but ran into walls because the parasite was so deep inside Rodney's brain that surgical removal would be impossible. It was also resistant to drugs and radiation. Jennifer blamed herself for the severity of his illness, although the reasons she did were unclear at first. The two kept a record of the progress of his degenerating condition by recording video logs, where Rodney soon struggled to recite basic information about himself, his life, and his friends.
Rodney's sister, Jeannie, came to visit and say goodbye to her brother- and Ronon mentioned a shrine on another planet that seemed to give people afflicted with the Second Childhood one more day as themselves before their inevitable death. Unfortunately, the planet was now a Wraith outpost and thus extremely dangerous. Jeannie then went to talk to Jennifer, who explained Rodney's condition to her- then shared that, before he began to lose his memories, Rodney became downright charming compared to his usual self. Jennifer was so smitten, she missed signs of his decaying mind that she may otherwise have caught, and when she finally realized what was happening, it was too late. Afterwards, the team debated the idea of trying to take Rodney to the shrine. Though Jennifer was against sending Rodney there, wanting to keep him in Atlantis for further treatment and not believing it would work in the first place, Jeannie and the others overruled her, wanting Rodney to be able to die with some dignity. She agreed to accompany them to the shrine, whereupon Rodney did indeed become his old self again. Rodney was furious at them, however, thinking he'd already said his goodbyes and made his peace with the fact that he was dying, then been robbed of that. He almost pinned the blame on Jennifer before Jeannie stepped in and said the rest of the team had pushed for it, while Jennifer had been reluctant to let him leave Atlantis.
Jennifer finally deduced that the shrine emitted an unknown type of radiation that made the parasite inside the victim's brain shrink, to the point where surgical removal would be safe. However, she only had basic medical tools with her, and it was too risky for her to return to Atlantis for the proper equipment. They could not hope to sneak past the Wraith undetected again, taking Rodney away from the shrine would cause the parasite to expand back into his brain, and the radiation was so strong, none of them could stay for more than a day. As a last-ditch effort to save Rodney's life, Sheppard convinced her to operate on Rodney via drilling a hole in his skull. The parasite, wanting to escape the radiation, crawled out of the hole and was shot to pieces by Ronon. Later, Jennifer watched some of the video logs she and Rodney had made... revealing that, even aside from his charming advances before his condition got bad, Rodney had confessed that he was in love with her, and had been for some time.
Later, thanks to some of the data gained from Michael, Jennifer concocted a gene therapy that would remove the Wraiths' need to feed on life energy, essentially making them human. She accompanied the team to a meeting with Todd, a Wraith who had allied with Atlantis, and told him of the therapy; Todd agreed to try talking to the other Wraith about it, though he did wonder where that would leave his species, as being predators was the only life they had ever known. However, he needed to convince the Wraiths' High Queen before anything else, and so Keller performed a surgery on Teyla to disguise her as a Wraith Queen. Todd killed the High Queen and managed to install Teyla in her place- and Teyla, in turn, passed leadership off to Todd. Keller turned Teyla back to normal, and it seemed that this was the beginning of the end of the Wraith threat.
Not long after this, Ronon and Rodney accompanied Jennifer to a planet where the inhabitants were suffering from a flu-like illness. Jennifer was kidnapped by a man named Kiryk, who possessed an armband that allowed him to teleport across short distances and spirit her away quickly. Kiryk was a Runner, one of many humans implanted with a tracking device by the Wraith and then hunted by them for sport. Kiryk refused to tell Jennifer the reason he'd grabbed her until they'd been marching for several hours, upon which they reached a cave containing a sick little girl. The girl was an orphan, all of her people killed when Kiryk had stayed with them for the night, calling the Wraith down to attack and feed. Keller examined the girl's injured leg, finding that she had a severe infection, and would need to be brought back to Atlantis for treatment.
The two were being pursued by a group of Wraith, and several of them managed to find their hiding place. While Kiryk killed one of their pursuers, another stunned him, forcing Jennifer to kill the other with the fallen man's sword. She then dragged Kiryk and the girl to safety. She also managed to disable the tracking device inside Kiryk's body, freeing him from being prey. The three were eventually rescued when Ronon and Rodney caught up with them, and Kiryk sacrificed himself to draw the Wraith away so that the others could escape through the Stargate.
In the weeks after, Ronon, who had developed romantic feelings for Jennifer, began insisting on accompanying her as her bodyguard whenever she went off world, even if it was his day off. The two soon found themselves in the midst of a conflict when Todd hijacked the Daedalus, a ship manned by the Stargate program, when he suspected the Atlanteans of activating the Attero device, which caused Wraith ships to blow up whenever they tried entering hyperspace. Jennifer and Ronon managed to escape capture, and Jennifer found herself troubled by Ronon's method of "shoot first, ask questions later" when the two tried disabling some of the ship's systems. When Todd and his crew left after the Attero device was disabled and the Daedalus was reclaimed, Ronon happily asked Jennifer to get some lunch with him. However, realizing his intentions, she was forced to tell him that she was already interested in someone else.
It turned out that she reciprocated Rodney's feelings and began hanging around him more, though the two had yet to speak their attraction to one another aloud. While in a secret lab inside Atlantis, she touched a mysterious stone she found, which would turn out to be important later.
Finally, Rodney managed to ask Jennifer out on their first date. She agreed to accompany him to a physics lecture led by one of Rodney's old classmates, Malcolm Tunney, during their two weeks of vacation leave. Jennifer found herself growing frustrated with Rodney's competitive and contrary nature, but bore it patiently, trying to get him to relax and just have fun. Tunney's plan, as it turned out, was to combat global warming by siphoning excess heat into a parallel universe, using ideas he'd lifted from Rodney. However, it went horribly wrong when the device opening the bridge to the parallel universe wouldn't shut off. If they did not find a way to stop it, everyone trapped in the facility would freeze to death. Jennifer found herself having to step in and quell the arguing amongst all of the scientists present and get them to work together to save one another.
Later, she tried and failed to make a call to Stargate Command for help, ending up getting soaked with water from a burst pipe and nearly dying from hypothermia. Rodney came to save her, giving her CPR and telling her he didn't know what he'd do if he lost her. Jennifer revived before she repeated Rodney's own words- "I love you. I've loved you for some time now." to him, and the two kissed. When Tunney finally managed to shut the device off, Rodney and Jennifer flew off to enjoy the rest of their vacation time, and ended up having sex in the back of the private jet they rode in.
Todd made a reappearance when he revealed that Jennifer's gene therapy had caused him and his fellow Wraith to become deathly ill. In a last-ditch effort to save themselves, he set his ship on a course to Atlantis before he and his crew went into hibernation. Jennifer, of course, blamed herself for the therapy going wrong and became frustrated when she had difficulty finding out why. Rodney assured her that she'd find a way to make things right. Todd was eventually cured of his condition, and the Atlantis team and the Wraith once more went their separate ways.
The mysterious stone Jennifer had touched months before ended up becoming important when Jennifer suddenly switched bodies with the notorious intergalactic thief, Neeva Casol (who had touched the stone's twin and placed it inside a device that caused the body swap, not knowing what it would do). She was arrested and put on trial for Neeva's crimes, unable to convince her captors of what had happened, and was soon sentenced to execution by beheading. Meanwhile, in Jennifer's body, Neeva wreaked havoc on Atlantis before the others finally figured out what was going on and went to save Jennifer and switch them back. Neeva's two companions, Bordal and Jannik, saved Jennifer from execution, but unfortunately, neither believed her story. Neeva herself then ran away from the Atlantis team and joined them, trying to convince Bordal and Jannik that she was the real thing. The two decided to take both women to another planet and sort it out later.
On the way to the Stargate, Bordal was killed by the villagers, and Jennifer ran off, fearing for her life. Meanwhile, the Atlantis team managed to find and deactivate the body-swapping device- but not before Jennifer's body, still inhabited by Neeva, was shot in the stomach. Jennifer was treated at the scene, but nobody knew what had become of Neeva.
Jennifer made a full recovery from her injury, and prepared Atlantis' infirmary for the worst as the others prepared for a battle. Todd had been betrayed by his right hand, Kenny the Wraith, and Kenny had made a new super-powered Hive ship, intending to lead the Wraith to a rich new feeding ground- Earth. The gang managed to travel to Earth via some brand-new technology and saved the day at the last moment, destroying Kenny's ship and landing Atlantis itself in the middle of San Franciso Bay.
Standing on one of Atlantis' balconies, Jennifer watched the sights with her friends, snuggling with Rodney, who told her that he had her, and thus, everything he needed. Their journey had come to an end.
PERSONALITY: Jennifer Keller has described herself as someone who has always felt like she was an outsider, never having found a place to belong. She is extremely intelligent and skipped multiple grades in grade school; she has therefore always felt like an outcast- too young to relate to most of her classmates, but too smart to relate to many others her own age. She can be shy and withdrawn, and this was made worse because she missed out on many normal social functions as a teenager and thus had a tough time developing social skills. When she signed up for the Atlantis expedition, at first she was very skittish, insisting that she was only a temporary replacement for Carson Beckett and wondering if she was even qualified for the job in the first place. Though a more than capable doctor and having been given votes of confidence from her team members, she was unsure of her ability to lead an entire department of medics, especially considering the often bizarre injuries and maladies the Atlantis team members tended to pick up on alien worlds.
Her feeling like an outsider is reflected in the way she interacts with her fellow Atlantis expedition members- she is very quick to physically separate herself from the group once she is done doctoring, as though she feels they do not want her around, and often shoots down her own ideas when she voices them, as though she thinks they are not good enough. She is also quick to blame herself when she encounters a problem she can't readily fix or finds herself in a perilous situation and becomes scared to act.
Jennifer is very aware of how much everyone liked her predecessor Carson, and thus sometimes worries that she's not as good as or won't be as beloved as he was. However, she is able to overcome this hesitation once he comes back as a clone, and seems quite comfortable working alongside him. It still took Jennifer some time to grow into and adjust to her role and realize that she did not have to be like Carson, but could be a leader in her own way, and had hidden reserves of strength to draw on.
Though having nerves of steel when doing her duties as a doctor, outside the infirmary, Jennifer can be very unsure of herself. She is not a very skilled fighter (though eventually she begins taking lessons) and thus has trouble defending herself in combat situations, which is a problem when villains and kidnappers target her due to her healing abilities, and because the team is in the midst of a war with the life-draining Wraith.
However, despite her shortcomings, Jennifer IS a good doctor and has saved the teams' lives many a time. She has a good bedside manner and a great deal of patience when dealing with unruly or nervous patients. She keeps a level head during crisis situations and is swift at enacting quarantines and preparing to treat the sick if necessary. Jennifer also shows a strong determination to save others, even if it seems hopeless, if she is putting herself in danger, or if the person is/was her enemy. She will work herself past the point of exhaustion to find cures and workarounds. Jennifer is also constantly working to expand her knowledge in order to benefit others, taking every opportunity she can to learn more about the Wraith and study the various diseases and parasites unique to the Pegasus Galaxy.
Once she feels more comfortable around the others, she tries her best to face down her fears and show her worth as a team member. She also eventually becomes much more at ease with them in social situations, which in turn helps her loosen up and become better at her job and a better leader. There are moments where Jennifer also has to be the cooler head in the room and remind others to act like the adults they are instead of being competitive and bickering.
POWER: Jennifer has no supernatural/superheroic powers in her own canon. However, these are the powers I have proposed for her:
Diagnostic vision: The ability to look inside a person's body and see not just their skeleton but all of their insides in order to diagnose what is wrong with them. It would not give Jennifer the ability to treat or heal anybody, but it would allow her to operate outside of the hospital and look internally when she has no scanning equipment available. (Since this is a potentially godmodey power, I would have a permissions post up and speak to players on an individual basis when this power might come into play.)
Intangibility: The ability to pass parts of the body (or the entire thing) through solid objects. This would have a number of potential applications, including allowing Jennifer to reach inside a person's body without cutting them open, pass through walls, avoid danger such as bullets or objects thrown, etc.

COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE: [When the comm turns on, the face of a young blonde woman can be seen. She's visibly nervous, but her voice stays firm as she speaks.]
Okay. Uhm. Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Jennifer Keller, and obviously I just arrived here... I'm glad there's such a comprehensive welcoming package, but I do have one problem. I never had superpowers when I was home. [Her eyes move down and the rustling of papers can be heard as she looks over the file she was given again.] Is there... I don't know... some kind of place I can go to or person I can ask for lessons? Advice? Anything?
[She swallows.] I can apparently become intangible, but I have to say, the prospect of walking through something and getting stuck or falling through the Earth is... pretty terrifying. I'm not eager to get into the Hall of Failed Superheroes, you know?
Any help would be appreciated.
