you had been playing him there for so long (without a Beckett as far as I know) and one of things I love about long-term RP is how much characters can evolve over time
Yeah, he's been in TF since January with nary a whiff of canonmates. In a way, it's been interesting for him to not have them- it was the same way in Edensphere, where he had no canonmates for a while, but he also had amnesia there, so. But I do like seeing how characters grow and change without their closest loved ones there, and I am so glad to hear you enjoy playing off him. He's one I worry about sometimes since his personality and way of dealing with things is just so different from my own.
He's still that whiny McKay we all know and love, but it seems like being trapped has softened him a bit (to be fair, the McKay I'm most familiar with is SG1 'verse and not Atlantis so I can't really compare him to his actual canon). Kate doesn't know him that well obviously, but I am having a great time playing off of him too.
Yeah, by the end of SGA, Rodney's a lot softer and more mature- well, he's still an immature dick, but he's a lot less outwardly abrasive and competitive and actually tries to get along with people rather than shoving them away right away. But I love his and Kate's budding CR, too- she may well become his surrogate Teyla *g*
