audreysmagic proposed a "Backstory Challenge," to wit: "something from someone's past..... Radek behind the Iron Curtain, Rodney blowing up school labs by 8, John's disastrous relationship history, Teyla's dad, Ronon's life on Sateda, anything!"
quasar273 seconded this, and added that she'd love to see some formative events: "Teyla getting her first lessons in stick-fighting or interplanetary trade with her father; twelve-year-old Ronon being scolded by a mother already shorter than he is for playing with toy guns; Rodney as Little Man Tate in one of those math-prodigy competitions; John leaving the ground behind for the very first time in a commercial jet or his father's friend's small plane or whatever. Elizabeth's first puppy? Carson and his mum? Or maybe childhood traumas big or small, or the first steps into adult independence -- any of that stuff."
