Roleplay-canon Timeline of Events

Note to reader: This is a history timeline of group SL pariticipation and other significant events for my character Rowe Lawson, and the events that helped shape her into who she is today, and how she has gotten to this point. Note that this list does not include every single SL and event that has occured within Rowe's roleplay-canon. Some of the events may not be in exact chronological order, either. After nearly 3 years of writing this character, I did my best to condense everything and include the most significant character events. My intention is to provide fellow writers with a better understanding of Rowe's character development, especially for those new to my list ♥. Despite having originally intended to be a Mass Effect OC, I have branched out with Rowe into all sorts of crossovers, while primarily keeping to the themes of science-fiction and maintaining her role as a doctor/scientist of genetics. You will find that many of the RP events listed below are of comic verse (primarily Marvel), but contain some crossovers with the likes of Star Wars, Mass Effect. StarCraft, and more. Enjoy!

Space Explorers

This is where some of Rowe's very first adventures began! As a scientist and crewmembers of the Valkyrie under command of the Dark Jedi Commander Tara, Rowe assisted the crew in aiding and abeting an intergalactic wanted fugitive by the name of Lady Blue. Together, they adventured across the galaxy, visiting many planets along the way. From the shoddy streets of Zuss to the hotsprings of Tenrei, to the barren Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth! Rowe's space exploring led her to many exciting adventures such as The Confrontation of Galactus, Iron Planet and more!

(Space Explorers is an ongoing SL and is open to all! https://www.roleplayer.me/view_group.php?group_id=4310)

Rowe's Arrival on Earth (various events consisting of Earth 616 and MCU crossovers)

Eventually, the space-faring scientist found her way to the planet Earth. As a human visitor, Dr. Lawson had little difficulty in blending in with the rest of society, although she had to be careful not to expose her advanced technology to the world. For a while, she established her own private practice as a medical geneticist, before being discovered by billionaire, genius, playboy philanthropist, Mr. Tony Stark. Knowing that she could make more of a difference working for a company vs. working independently, Dr. Lawson applied for a genetics researcher position at Resilient, and was offered a job thereafter.

The Doctor and the Valkyrie

A day to be remembered was her fateful encounter with a woman of Asgard, a Valkyrie of Valhalla, the warrior and blacksmith, Kirika Shadowsmith. They met. They fell in love. They married. A mortal and a demi-goddess. The rest, as they say, is history.

Temporary Status as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

For a time, Dr. Lawson found herself working for Earth's Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. As a geneticist, she provided assistance to the agency with her area of expertise in alien DNA research. Occasionally, she provided medical support for her fellow agents out in the field, applying her scientific knowledge and proving herself a capable medic.

Attack on United Nations

Dr. Lawson was present at the time of the assault on the United Nations building in New York City by the Brotherhood of Mutants, led by Magneto himself. Dr. Lawson was to present her research on a cure for Extremis addiction, an addictive physical-improvement drug made available by Tony Stark. Research showed that the long-term negative side-effects that Extremis had upon those possessing the x-gene were very serious, and in some cases, fatal. Rowe's intention of providing a cure for its addiction was to regain trust between Mutants and health-care practitioners around the world. Magneto's attack was a major setback to her efforts, and she was captured by the Brotherhood. Eventually, Rowe was located and freed by her longtime Mutant friend, Kendra Smith.

Lunar Adventures

Perhaps one of Dr. Lawson's most well-known accomplishments as Chief of Resilient's Science and Space Exploration Division was her proposal for the re-colonization of Tranquility Gulch, a former research city on The Moon that had been left abandoned after the events of Fatal Frontier. With its vast resources, Resilient revitalized the lunar city, turning it into a major hub for space exploration, and introducing space tourism to all Earth-bound citizens. Dr. Lawson then became the city's Magistra, taking responsibility of its wealth and trade. Unfortunately, the newly established lunar-city became a prime target for a devastating villain attack, nearly wiping out the city and all its inhabitants. With the aid of several brave heroes, the city was saved, but left abandoned and in ruins.

Science vs. Magic

With events leading up to this, Rowe had grown increasingly concerned over the mental status of her boss and friend, Tony Stark. Throughout the course of a year, she witnessed Tony's gradual fall from grace. Affected by the events of Axis, Tony Stark had become Superior Iron Man, a far more greedy, cunning and egotistical version of his usual self. Tony's actions of 'heroic interventions' started raising a few eyebrows among his friends, allies and the public eye. It wasn't until Tony declared his 'war against magic', influencing world leaders to shun and discriminate against all magic users, that Rowe finally concluded that her employer had turned truly evil, and needed to be stopped. Standing defiantly against her former boss on the side of Magic, Rowe formally left Resilient and participated in a quest to find the truth. With her array of tech and combat-medic experience, she fought on the front-lines in the final battle between Science and Magic, and lived to tell the tale.

After SvM: The forming of Rowe's Raiders

Witnessing the chaos caused by the war that her former boss started, Rowe vowed to ensure that a conflict such as the one between Science and Magic would never happen again. She left Earth and her career in Resilient behind to form a team of her own. A special task force team designed for the purpose of maintaining peace on a galactic scale, and fighting for the freedom of all sentient species; Rowe's Raiders. With a Behemoth-Class Battlecruiser called the Hyperion, the Rowe and her newly recruited team have gradually made a name for themselves, traversing the ocean of stars and fighting against oppression throughout the galaxy.

Asgard vs. Star Wars

After receiving reports that the Empire had located there whereabouts of the Realm Eternal and were en route with an invasion force, Rowe did not hesitate. Rallying together the full force of the Raiders with three fully armed and operational Battlecruisers, the newly-minted Commander rushed to the aid of the Asgardians. Being that Asgard the realm her wife and family call home, Commander Lawson will stop at nothing to ensure its protection.
