Robert Capa is the physicist who operates the massive stellar-bomb device. Capa can be described as a silent outsider, which was due to the fact that only Capa understood the operation and true scale of the starbomb. He's an astronaut and the only physicist on the spaceship named Icarus II.

Personality: Robert Capa is someone who prefers to keep to himself, being the only physicist on the ship and the only one to truly understand the way the bomb works. He does all the calculations as to how they can get to the sun alive. He knows they will likely die when they reach the sun and complete the mission but isn't afraid like the others, thinking the sight will be a beautiful way to die. He's more on the quiet side but still cares for the mission and his fellow astronauts. While he isn't the most emotional or outgoing person he'll still do whatever he can to help save humanity and keep the astronauts alive. He spends most of his time on his own floor, doing his work or doing whatever to kill time. He'll eat dinner with the rest of the crew and attend routinely meetings. He's not against hanging around them, just doesn't think they like him or understand him. The crew, even the captain, ask for his advice on final important decisions. A few of the other crew members respect him as a physicist but don't like him as a person, causing a few fights to break out between him and another male astronaut named mace. He gets along well with Captain Kaneda and the on board psychologist searie.

Selfless, intelligent, kind, caring, confident, brilliant, quiet, thinker, athletic

Habits: Frequent nightmares about failing his mission or flying into the surface of the sun

Likes: His work, saving humanity, helping, astronomy, the beauty of space

Dislikes: The idea of failing his mission or letting his crew die.

Appearance: Robert Capa is without a doubt good looking. He has messy, long brown hair that goes to the bottom of the back of his neck. He has light blue eyes, pale skin, freckles, a sharp jawline, and a lean athletic build with muscular veins in his arms. He usually wears a great T- shirt, dark grey sweatpants, his Icarus device around his neck, and grey sweat bands on his wrists.

Story: When Capa was seventeen, he wrote a paper which he submitted to America’s foremost scientific journals. It contributed to the understanding of dark matter, and in particular a theory for a controlled method releasing its energy.

Although dark matter theory was already well advanced, Capa’s theory assisted in the formation of the principle on which the Stellar Bomb was constructed for the Icarus I mission.

Capa was too young to have accompanied this first Icarus mission. But in the intervening years, Capa continued his research. By the time it was realised that the first mission had failed, and preparations for a second mission began, Capa was the world’s foremost expert on the dark matter bomb.

Because Capa is the only member of the crew who is not, by history and training, an astronaut, he is an outsider. In this respect, much of the crew see him as effectively a piece of valuable equipment, which must be transported intact to the delivery point.

Kaneda, however, feels differently towards Capa. He feels protective in a way which is partly paternal. He knows that it is hard for Capa being an outsider, a passenger, and goes out of his way to make Capa feel included.

What Kaneda doesn’t fully realise is that Capa is by nature a loner. He is perfectly content with his own company, working in the dark interior of the Stellar Bomb.

Searle does realise this—in fact, it is Capa’s self-contained quality that Searle likes. And Capa likes Searle equally. The two of them get on: they talk the same language, and have a similar sense of humour. Although they are both fundamentally loners, the relationship between them is actually the strongest bond in the crew.

Capa is better than Kaneda at chess, and so he always lets Kaneda play white. Capa sometimes lets Kaneda win.

Intellectually and internally, Capa is an atheist.
