re: How about who are we in the Star Trek Universe?
I'm going to use characters from my favorite Trek incarnation:
Robert - Capt. Archer: does a great job charting new territory; takes the occassional thumping
Raoul - Dr Phlox: calm, rational, wise, yet charmingly enthusiastic
RL - "Trip" Tucker: can bend space itself; willing to leap into anything head first
Mary Anne - T'pol: enigmatic, hyper-intelligent, reserved unless she isn't (at that point, watch out)
Lindy - Hoshi: not always sure why she signed up; brings a different view to the proceedings
