✘ no i don't remember

[circumitus]

Rey will have a variety of memories to share for the EMPATHY PLOT below. Since I wanted to avoid too much tl;dr, I compiled a list of helpful excerpts and such.

Physical, Mental, Emotional

→ Anyone connected with Rey might experience certain CRAVINGS: Namely spring rolls and beer. She is particularly fond of German lager.
→ Even for those who don’t smoke might feel the urge to, but not as a result to any particular addiction or anything.
→ In spite of Rey’s stoic nature, a lot of what she feels are internal. Feelings of random inexplicable anger and guilt are likely to rise. Contrary to her exterior, Rey is constantly at war with her emotions.
→ Also, random bursts of over-protectiveness and a need to stalk may happen. There is also a great deal of abandonment and loss, both from her own timeline and on the Tranquility as well. She has issues with getting close to people now, feeling like those she tries to connect with will wind up disappearing, anyway.
→ Due to the memories of eight different people stored in her head, characters connected to Rey may find themselves thinking in different languages. Whether they know them or not (and they might), some might recognize them as English, Spanish, Zulu, Dutch, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, as well as Hebrew.
→ You might get opera stuck in your head a lot. More specifically Andrea Chenier and Dido and Aeneas.
→ As far as her headspace goes, Rey is a soldier. You may be thinking of your situation in terms of military tactics, with her century’s worth of fighting battles in her head. Being connected to her may leave you feeling paranoid. If you don’t already, you’ll be wanting to sit in the corner of rooms with your back turned to the wall, just in the likely event that some crazy will come storming in with an AK-47 and tear up the place. If it sounds like a gun or explosion, you’ll be quick to jump to your defenses, ready to be on the offense.

(BIA) PLOT UPDATE
→ As a result of Rey’s “recon syndrome”, she experiences extreme discomfort that borders on panic when alone. When connected to her, one may feel and understand this better than she ever would due to their empathic bond. Your character may be feeling a need to be connected with another person.
→ Strong familial attachments towards the remaining recon team (namely Firo Prochainezo and William Tsang).

Memories

Once the memories start zapping through, characters will begin to experience what Rey has experienced:

→ Bird Song: One of many of Rey’s episodes of mental instability during her recovery from insanity. {ANNE MARIE CUNNINGHAM}
→ Don’t worry, it’s only skin: Rey cuts her face up. (tw: self harm) {NETHERLANDS}
→ tl;dr Rey sneaks out and eats at a Chinese restaurant with her brother. (Read as: Pretty much the one pleasant memory of hers I have to offer.
→ General good memories of her time spent with her brother during the four years she had spent living together: Arm wrestling. Racing each other down the streets of future!Chicago, towards a restaurant. Hitting each other (playfully). Getting drunk, which requires a lot of booze.
→ The memories of Sergeant Schuyler, a Dutch woman from Korps Mariniers, the Marine Corps section of the Royal Netherlands Navy. {NETHERLANDS}

(BIA) PLOT UPDATE
Tranquility Memories:
→ Sending the DUPRR pilot, Russe Neson, into the The White Room.

memories of sergeant schuyler

[circumitus]

In 2099, Rey is reassembled as Rey Schuyler, a woman from the Netherlands with a heavy Dutch accent. Rey Schuyler remembers watching her mother murder her father while both were in a drunken argument. She ran away from home when she came home to finding her own mother having shot her father in the face. Since then, she joined the Korps Mariniers, the marine corps section of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

In 2101, an eighteen-year-old girl named Helena Lyonene goes against her father’s wishes and enlists for an Assault Group with the Royal Marines (which had once not permitted women), passing the Commando course with flying colors and later trains in winter warfare. She meets Grey Moskalenko and they become close friends. Within the next year, they become close friends and later involved. Rey Schuyler is also stationed in Grey and Helena’s unit by Gregory Tremond, where the Dutch and the British Armed Forces are also allied with America during the Long Winter war. They meet in Washington DC, where the young Helena Lyonene and Grey Moskalenko are assigned under the command of Sergeant Schuyler. Cameron Lyonene (56) oversees Sergeant Schuyler assuming command of his daughter before they depart Washington DC. The missions they are to carry out throughout their tour involve locating the sanctuaries GRIGORI’s mainframes are stored throughout the globe. There are three major locations where the GRIGORI had stationed its primary backup functions. Gregory Tremond sets Rey Schuyler out to find them, as she is completely unaware of her past lives and has little knowledge of her “employer” (Gregory Tremond himself).

In 2108, their company is ambushed in the middle of the night, during a trek through the Julian Alps. An ally, Robin de Trie, had tipped off the enemy on their location for a hefty price and amnesty in their country. Grey Moskalenko is killed in action when he is caught in an explosive frag grenade. Helena barely survives the same frag grenade, but loses her leg in the event. Rey Schuyler pursues Robin in her attempt to flee with the enemy. She is about to kill the turncoat when Helena is in need of immediate medical attention, and she chooses to tend to Helena instead, cauterizing Helena’s wound to prevent herself from dying of bloodloss. Rey disappears that night after delivering Helena to the 68W medics and buries their company.

Losing her experience of the last 7 years with Helena Lyonene’s company, Rey Schuyler is reset and stationed at Fort Jeremy, Texas and uses her old alias, Rey Stone.
