CHARACTER
Character Name: Epsilon | Leonard Church
Character Age: Mentally an adult, though age gets hinky when you’re an AI
Canon: Red vs Blue
Canon Point: End of Season 13, after recording his final goodbye
History: Wiki!
Note: Since Epsilon is normally a AI who appears as a holographic projection in canon, I was hoping to bring him into the game in an organic body per the information in the FAQ about characters who don’t have a physical form.
Personality: Epsilon, in his own words, came into the world as a collection of somebody else’s memories. He was given the building blocks that had formed the AI Alpha and The Director and then he found a way to make them his own. And while he does share some of the same base traits that defined his predecessors, his experiences came to shape him into someone entirely new. And for an AI fragment the fact that he became a person in his own right is a pretty big thing. His sense of identity is important to him because while he still considers himself to be “Church” he knows that he’s different from either Alpha or the Director. His experiences have shaped him differently and made him react to events in a way that is distinct from any other Church out there. So while there are three different instances of Leonard Church out there, Epsilon considers himself to be the other versions to be assholes. Not that he isn’t one, but he’s better that them.
Epsilon's most prominent trait is that he's, well, a huge dick. He doesn’t always think about how the things he does affects others, such as when he ran off and abandoned the reds and blues to help Carolina track down missing freelancer tech. His heart was in the right place but he was so focused on the need to find redemption for the things he was a part of that he completely forgot that he’d ditched his friends at a crash site with no way home. Not exactly his finest moment. It didn’t help that the moment he reunited with everyone the first thing he did was pick a fight with Tucker and cause a huge blowout between them. He knew he had taken it too far but he was stubborn and had trouble admitting it.
However, the fact that he does show regret for when he hurts people is one of the big difference between him and his predecessors. He still slips up a lot but he’s willing to make an effort to try and fix things. He’s also more willing to admit his failings to the people he’s close to, especially when his fuck ups could put his friends in danger. When he hits the limit of his abilities to power Carolina’s armor enhancements he confesses that he’s not powerful enough to do everything she needs, though only under duress because he’d already screwed up once in the field and didn’t want to put her in danger.
And to say that Church is a cocky little asshole is an understatement. He has an ego the size of a planet, is well aware that he’s awesome and he’ll take any possible chance to remind everyone around him of that fact. Even if it annoys them. Especially if it annoys them, in fact. In spite of the fact that he has put an effort into being a better person than Alpha or The Director, Epsilon still has a temper and will blow up at people when things don’t go their way. He gets frustrated and lashes out at people without thinking which makes him look like a huge prick. His only saving grace with his anger is that he’s managed to ease up on the obsessive behavior that plagued his predecessors and has been able to let go of his grudges in a way that they were never really able to. This has let him become, if not a better person, then at least one who isn’t as weighted down by his past.
And even though Church puts up an asshole front, he cares a lot, more than he’d ever willingly admit. He believes in his friends even if he covers it all up with sarcastic comments and banter. When he’s working with Carolina and knows that she’s off her game due to a lack of sleep he purposely gives her higher odds because he has faith that she’ll pull through just fine. He’s willing to give people a chance because he knows that there’s more to success than pure numbers, especially because he knows that his rag-tag group of idiots can pull off shit that highly trained operatives could never even dream of.
More than anything, in spite of all his flaws, Epsilon is willing to give up everything to protect the people he cares about. He’s got an idea of what a hero is supposed to do and when he realized that the only way to help them Reds and Blues out was the destroy himself in order to give them the advantage they needed for their final battle. And Church did it without any hesitation even though he knew doing it wasn’t a guarantee they would win. In spite of the sheer amount of shit he gives his friends, he believes in them.
Even though Epsilon can be really difficult and annoying to deal with he has a big heart and spent his last moments before he destroyed himself making sure that he gave them a proper goodbye.
Inventory: -One set of standard UNSC armor in light blue
-one sniper rifle
-one brand new body?
Abilities: Epsilon is an AI which means he’s capable of calculating the odds of success on a battlefield as well as an enemy’s weakness. He can also hack into locked systems, decrypt data and assist in running armor enhancements that an agent couldn’t handle on their own. But since he’s going to be coming into the game in a human body all of those abilities will end up being… not really a thing.
Flaws:Where do I even start? He’s got flaws aplenty. Epsilon is a cocky jackass with a bad habit of verbally sniping at people until he goes way too far and makes everyone hate him for a while. He’s got a short fuse and a tendency to say exactly what’s on his mind without stopping to think about what kind of consequences his words might have. He’s impulsive. There’s also a bit of a martyr complex going on as he on multiple occasions has endangered himself in order to protect others. He also has the worst aim. Ever. Of all time. And yet he refuses to share the damn sniper rifle.
SAMPLES
Action Log Sample: There were some definite advantages to being inorganic, Epsilon could attest to the fact pretty fucking confidently. If he was human then the act of ripping himself apart like this would have left him screaming. He silenced the warnings his internal systems were throwing out, let those systems be the first to fall away as he recorded his last words to his friends. Each step towards that point of no return was taken purposely as he started to pull at the cracks of his already fractured coding. He was just a fragment, there was no way he could run the Meta’s suit alone. The strain would damage him irreparably, make him useless for any future fights that this group of idiots would get themselves involved in.
And he knew they’d get involved in something. They always did, no matter how much they insisted they wanted a quiet life.
There were some disadvantages to being inorganic, too. He couldn’t close his eyes, couldn’t keep his mind from rushing through thousands of possibilities even as he unraveled the very fabric of his being. So he talked, he recorded his goodbyes and left enough evidence to fuck Hargrove over hard enough that even the most indecisive jury would put his old wrinkled ass away forever. He was good at talking, could talk until he was blue in the face.
Just a few more threads, just a few more words. Then he would be done. No more Leonard Church. No more Epsilon. No more anything. Hopefully it would be enough. Hopefully Tucker would help get the others out a live. Not that he would see it. He could only have faith that they wouldn’t fuck up his heroic sacrifice. A long time ago when he had gone into the memory unit, he had decided that if he was going to spend the rest of his life in a memory, that it might as well be a good one. He wasn’t in the unit anymore but Church still held onto one memory as everything else fell away. Just one good memory to go out on.
One more step till he was done. He’d just have to trust that Tucker could do it.
“Ain’t that a bitch…”
Not the greatest last words but who the fuck cared? That was an epic goodbye speech. As he fragmented into pieces too small he held onto that memory as long as he possibly could until everything that made him who he was turned off like someone hitting the switch on a light bulb.
And then, for no goddamn reason at all, the light was turned back on. What the fuck? Everything felt wrong somehow. Different. Like he was… he struggled to find the right word, to place a sensation that while not quite foreign was something he hadn’t experienced in so damn long that he’d nearly forgotten what it was like. He felt heavy. Epsilon opened his eyes and it hit him like a ton of bricks.
He’d opened his eyes. It was like being in the memory unit all over again, stuck in a body. Still adjusting to the feeling of, well, feeling anything at all, Epsilon struggled to his feet and struggled to pull off his helmet with clumsy fingers. His helmet finally released itself and he dropped it onto the sandy ground. Squinting at the light above him, he couldn’t help the the words that came out of his mouth.
“You have got to be fucking kidding me!” How many times was he supposed to go through with this bullshit?! You’d think three second chances was more than enough before the universe would give him a fucking break!
