What characters do you already play here, if any? None
How did you hear about the game? Kia is a horrible enabler :P
[IC Information]
Character Name: Epsilon
Series: Red vs. Blue
Gender: Male
Age: Exacts are unknown
Species: AI (Having him in a robot body to make him mobile, though canon point, he doesn't really have a real body, just a chip)
Appearance: In robot form, he's average height in highly advanced military grade combat armor, cobalt in color. He doesn't really have a face under the armor. When projected, he's similar to the robot form, only transparent and usually a shade of blue.(There have been cases where he was white or even green when remembering another fragment.)
Personality:
Epsilon is at a glance, a rather egotistical jerk. Not as much as the AI that he is the memories of or the human that AI was based on originally, but still a jerk nonetheless. He's got a foul mouth, a kind of bad attitude, and a tendency to yell a lot and lose his temper. He's also probably one of the worst soldiers imaginable. He can't aim, he's lazy, and pretty bad overall with strategy. Epsilon is also very quick to come up with excuses for his own mistakes and bad aim. (Things like "The sun reflected off the rock.")
However, those are just on the surface. He's not nearly as bad as he might look at a glance. Even if he has a temper, he can be patient when needed, and he actually does seem to have some small amount of fondness for Caboose at times, as can be seen at the end of Season 8 with him saying goodbye before entering the capture unit. He's also oddly philosophical about the fact that he jumped into a unit that was failing and was going to kill him when. ("And I mean hell... if you have to live the rest of your life in a memory... you might as well make it a good one.")
Another issue Epsilon has, but it's not exactly odd considering who he hangs out out with? He's really not very good at dealing with women. Well, normal women, anyway. That may be due to the fact that his canon on screen experience to date with women consists of mainly Tex, who is more manly than most of the men in the series. Considering Epsilon actually called the person that's supposed to be his girlfriend a stupid bitch on her initially arriving in the memory in the capture unit...
As a fragment of the Alpha, he has an odd sort of devotion to trying to finish dealing with the problem that the Director and the Alpha could never quite manage to find the solution to. The problem of the person that came along for the ride when Alpha was made. Allison. And if he couldn't he was supposed to pass it on to the next iteration of the cycle. Though in the end, he shows a lot more maturity than might be expected, finally finding the way to truly break the cycle. He's more mature in that than either the Director or the AI he was made from. He accepted in the end that letting go was the real solution.
Abilities: Epsilon is an AI, able to inhabit a robot body or be implanted in a compatible host. He's also capable of projecting himself and some hacking. He's also got memories of military training and a shitty talent at executing and horrible aim.
Items: He has his armored body, a sniper rifle, and a magnum. Not that he can aim worth a damn. (I'm basically taking him as what he would have kept on him in the memories, but I don't want him humanized as he was sort of in the unit, as was discussed on Plurk.)
History:
The history of Epsilon begins with Project Freelancer. He is the product of a process of fragmentation being applied to the only AI the project was granted that was based on the Director, Leonard Church. This AI was known as the Alpha. They had literally taken the Alpha, stressed him to the breaking point through scenario after scenario of stress and failure, then had a Covenant alien known as an engineer remove the pieces and repair the Alpha again. The pieces were the AI fragments, which were given to the agents, implanted in an attempt to help humanity in the war.
Each fragment was a piece of the Alpha. Delta was his logic. Gamma, his deceit. Omega, his rage. And Epsilon... Epsilon was the memories shed by the Alpha in an attempt to stay sane. He was assigned to partner Agent Washington. Some of the pairing were successful. Unfortunately, Epsilon was one of the project's failures. He was unstable to the point of self-terminating in his host's head after implantation. Once Epsilon terminated, he was removed from Washington and put into storage at a command facility.. But he wasn't truly gone.
Eventually, his former host, Washington, retrieved him in order to use him as evidence of the Director's crimes, putting him in the hands of a group of simulation soldiers. Specifically, a particularly stupid one named Caboose. Instead of the AI being handed over to the authorities as intended, Caboose kept Epsilon, telling him stories and working to find him a new body. The first replacement body Caboose found him was a monitor. A piece of ancient alien technology. Once in it, Epsilon could communicate and took advantage of the opportunity to get himself a better body and try to find a way to deal with the problem of Texas(The Director's dead girlfriend, brought back as an AI from his memories of her.)
From there, he convinced Caboose to go with him to a place where he found a better replacement body, as well as one so that he could get Texas out of his head. Texas took advantage of this and Epsilon's memories, convincing him to follow her to a place called Sidewinder, in order to use him as bait for a trap for the people that were following them... The Meta and Agent Washington, Epsilon's old host. Ones that she assumed were the most likely to be able to tell her where the Director was. In the end, the trap brought them, resulting in the Meta being killed after trapping Texas inside an AI capture unit. Epsilon, chose to try to enter the unit to find her, just to have it close behind him before he could locate her, trapping them both in a world of memories of a canyon of simulation troopers where he could finally try to find the solution to the loop brought on by Texas, hopefully before the unit failed.
Epsilon continued on, trying to find her and the solution to the problem that the Alpha and even the Director couldn't. And he finally was starting to see it... The real solution to his Tex problem. He needed to let her go. To forget her(Not in the literal sense.) He basically decided it was time to move on. To stop obsessing over what he'd never get. He'd finally accepted it, just in time for what he'd assumed to be the end of the world inside the storage unit. Instead, he found himself being pulled out of the unit by a rescue mission when he was finally at peace with himself...
Canon Bump app:
Appearance: In robot form, he's average height in highly advanced military grade combat armor, cobalt in color. He doesn't really have a face under the armor. When projected, he's similar to the robot form, only transparent and a shade of white now, though there's a hint of blue to it in smaller projections.(There have been cases where he was other colors when remembering another fragment.)
Personality:
Epsilon really hasn't changed all that much, other than the realizations he's gotten by watching Carolina's obsessions with the Director and digging through the information he's got in him, between memories and files he's taken from computer systems along the way... He's been watching someone else make the mistake he did of chasing ghosts.
But at the same time. He knows they finally have the chance to end this. And he'll help Carolina do whatever it takes to reach that end.
History:
Well, we pick up at the point he left off, with a rescue party pulling him out of the storage unit when he'd finally found himself at peace. Bringing him back into the fight and the chance to finish things. The ones responsible? The reds, blues, Wash, and a familiar face from times long past. A woman he'd thought dead. Not Tex though, like he'd first thought when they mentioned the reason they were there was female, but someone else. Her name? Agent Carolina, long thought to be dead.
However, in the time he's been in the unit, Epsilon finds out that he's been kind of... replaced. With Washington. And he's not too pleased about the idea, not that they get time to dwell on it long with Carolina wanting to get them out of there and the firefight going on. As he finds out, he was rescued because of Carolina, and the fact that he was a copy of the Director's memories. She wanted him to help her find the place the Director was hiding to finish things. To get revenge.
From there, he gets shoved into Tucker's storage unit, to his dismay, to be transported along with the others. It's irritating to him, and he and the others are basically being dragged along by Carolina, with no information. She just expected them to take orders. They didn't need information. Which ended up leading to them deciding to move Epsilon to the Mongoose Carolina was riding to try to spy on her and get further information.
After reaching a dead end in the trail, Carolina decided that she needed to check out a fortress on her own, taking Epsilon along for the ride inadvertently. The fortress turned out to be the base that Tex had asked York to help her break into. Where York had died. She wanted to see it. See the logs. She wanted to know why he helped her. Why Tex. Epsilon ended up giving himself away at the mention of Tex's name. When Carolina yelled at him, telling him she doesn't trust them because the Freelancers, in spite of everything, lied, stole, and ripped each other apart... He went quiet.
Just to dig through his memories. To remember records he'd gotten from a Freelancer outpost. Ones that consisted of York's journal entries recorded by Delta... Ones that showed who he'd really wanted to find all along. He was looking for Carolina. Letting her see the truth at last. How much York cared. That he was looking for her all along. That he wished she'd learned to let go... Like he had to in the end. Because Epsilon knew what it was like to spend one's life chasing ghosts. And he wanted her to not make the same mistake.
Oddly, that was exactly what Carolina needed to see to make her realize some things. To lighten up, and that she wasn't the only one the Director hurt. Which she did almost immediately after, teasing him for being embarrassed about being ridden by her.And that would be the point Epsilon would be reentering the world of dreams from.
