OOC DISCUSSION MEME;
Save the Earth requires a good deal of thought to apply into. Because of this, it can't hurt to get some input into your ideas or to get some idea of how other players will feel about them.
This post is exactly for that. Think of it as a creativity workshop where there are no stupid questions, bad ideas can get weeded out and good ones can get fed properly. However, this space is for constructive criticism only. Please remain mindful of that.
How it Works:
Put forward your idea for a character you wish to apply. Point out the parts you like most, the holes you want help with, the parts where you can't seem to make up your mind either way. Consider what sort of goals you'd like to achieve in the game, why you think the character is a good fit and what sort of roles they'll be able to fulfil. Don't be afraid to let it all If you have an app in progress, you might want to link to it. Similarly, linking to a resource to let others know the preincarnated character better might be a good idea.
Then, discuss with others! Hopefully you'll be able to make your vision more complete and understand the game better. Potentially you could formulate future CR or even pre-game CR.

Unfortunately with the new character I'm working on I don't think I could app with you (plus I don't know the show well enough to app from it). I can see how not having a character that's important to her could be tricky. Do you think she could develop a similar relationship with some CR in the game?
I don't think the baseline human part is a problem as long as she has some useful skills, which she obviously has! And I think it'd be cool if she's an early-childhood teacher, IIRC we don't have any of those yet (just a few high school teachers and some folks that work at the University).

(I don't usually tend to 'lolz you're NEVER GOING HOME AGAIN' games, but the reincarnation aspect of this one makes that easier to think around. XD)
It is... possible, at least at first, she might develop a new relationship. But as she started remembering things I'm not sure what would happen. Jack was a liiiiittle important to her.
Knowing that baseline-human likely wouldn't be a problem, though, that's a relief! Rebecca definitely has useful skills (I mean, when you're watching the horrible thing that happened to your partner/boyfriend play out all over again and you're the one who sets up the generator cables... I salute you, madam).
Another thing that occurred to me: There would be occasional entirely-headcanon things that would almost certainly come up as Echoes. The one that hit me this morning has pretty much nothing to do with canon, but there is no way Rebecca doesn't know where she was when JFK was assassinated; it's very possible that the news clip coming up or talking about it in a classroom setting would trigger an Echo. (Mostly the headcanon things are related to her canon experiences, but some things... yeah.) I suspect from looking at the request list that wouldn't be too bad if I didn't overdo it, but it would definitely be a consideration every now and then.

But some of them, other than perhaps a passing thought of 'I feel sorry for whoever ends up having to collect Artifacts from that,' would just be old memories. And something like 'where were you when [thing happened]' could be powerful enough to break through.
