Hi Georgias! I wrote a short update for Jan's time on the Lift. This would be added after the "history" section on the current page. Let me know if you have any feedback!


On the Tokyo Lift

In Season 20, Canberra was feedbacked to the Tokyo Lift. While she approached the team with a lot of confidence, reports were unclear on if she went to the team intentionally to take a break from captain duties, if it was an accident, or if she even understood that her vacation was actually a permanent placement. Either way, Canberra made a bombastic entrance. Reportedly, the first thing she said after arriving on the Lift was, “It’s a good thing I’m here, so you’re welcome.”

Canberra spent a lot of time sailing on the Sea of Japan. She became close with new teammate Inky Rutledge, who spent several years away from the Sea of Japan and knows a thing or two about homesickness. (Not that Canberra was homesick, okay, she was doing great in Tokyo.) Canberra also developed a fascination with Kit Honey, occasionally claiming that she wrote Honey’s detective stories and reminiscing on times spent together. Honey was occasionally dragged into being the plucky detective to Canberra’s comical villainous antics in the Legscraper.

Canberra returned to Atlantis in the Season 20 elections. Everyone generally agrees this was for the best.

Ooh, so the timeline in here I think could use a bit of adjustment, usually it's agreed Jan wasn't the captain of the Georgias until her return from Tokyo? (before that it's usually agreed that Niq was the team captain)

Besides that, not sure if I really have any notes? Personally, I wouldn't describe her antics as "villainous" but that's really just my perspective on the character and I could totally see why someone else would think otherwise. Besides that I think you pretty much got her personality down -- she's very self-centered and a bit bombastic! She's the kind of person that will always make her presence known when she shows up, and that totally comes through here, I think.

Totally, thanks for the suggestions! I can cut the word villainous (I think comical antics gets the vibe across - I was aiming for a Scooby Doo villain kind of vibe but I get what you mean) and make and adjustment to the captain line - maybe “wanted a change of pace”?
