CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Church (Epsilon)
CANON: Red vs Blue
AGE: in human form, mid-late 30s.
CANON POINT: End of s13
BACKGROUND: http://rvb.wikia.com/wiki/Epsilon
INCENTIVE: Ensuring that everyone he loves survives, and if possible going home as a human and not an AI.
FIT: Epsilon is basically a completely fail piece of shit when it comes to emotional matters, who would probably fit in well enough given he's going to be experiencing being an actual human for the first time. He has memories of it, but as himself, he's more or less never fully experienced it outside a memory unit.
He's also pretty much willing to do whatever it takes to actually live so that's another reason.
CONSENT: Given his history, consent is something he'd respect. Admittedly, he's crossed the line a few times in a nonsexual sense when he's taken control of someone else's body to allow things to move along, (ie, possessing Grif to hand over a weapon) but in general, he stays with one or two people as an AI.
Epsilon has his own share of issues, given that he has memories of being tortured and has seen the results of someone's will being ignored. He's a more mature version of the Alpha in that sense because he does try to respect the limits other people set.

Character Name: Epsilon (Church)
Series: Red vs Blue
Timeline: The very end of season 13, when his arc finishes
Canon Resource Link: http://rvb.wikia.com/wiki/Epsilon
Character History:
Epsilon's first appearance on screen comes in season six, although at the time he has no physical form since he's inside a memory unit, but he's been around for years. His 'birth' was when he was 'fragmented' off the Alpha AI during Project Freelancer. Basically Alpha was tortured to the point of mental break which led to him shedding parts of himself, these parts became the AI fragments and Epsilon was his memories.
And as the memory, Epsilon was the most unstable AI extracted, and when he was implanted into Washington, he proceeded to try to kill himself basically, while inside Washington's head., which led to Wash having a breakdown of his own. This incident is also what leads to the end of implantation of AI, and Epsilon being destroyed, or reported destroyed.
Thing is, he wasn't. He was retrieved and stored in a memory unit, and left in the Freelancer Command facility in storage. This is where Wash finds him and also confronts Church about his true identity. The Reds and Blues escape with Epsilon though, moments before Washington triggers an EMP to destroy all the AI stored there.
Epsilon spends the next season in the memory unit with Caboose laboring to put together a body for him and find a way to make Epsilon his new best friend. This is also where he starts developing new memories, the stories that Caboose told him becoming the central core of his new existence. At one point, Caboose does call Washington, who is currently in prison, and Wash, finding out that Caboose still has the Epsilon unit, sets that up to be his leverage to gain his own freedom.
Caboose takes Epsilon to the desert to look for Tucker after Donut gives him a message, and this is also when he puts Epsilon in the body of a Monitor, an ancient alien artifact that more or less means Epsilon is a floating eye surrounded by a metal case seen here http://www.matthewlichy.com/images/REACH/Game_Shipped_Objects/Monitor/monitor_Layout_3%20copy.jpg
While they're in the desert, they run afoul of someone calling himself CT, although once Epsilon gets his body, he ends up killing CT after the soldier triggers his temper by calling him a thing.
He doesn't really have a lot of control over his movement and eventually ends up just following the Reds back to Valhalla where he encounters Washington for the first time. This meeting doesn't go well, with Epsilon basically trying to kill Washington with his newly found 'laser face' This is also where he unlocks the memory that has him and Caboose going to the Freelancer facility where he claims a new armor body and also manages to bring Tex back to life.
Again, just like Alpha had years before. This time though, things go differently, and not just because she proceeds to basically kick the shit out of everyone in the facility. By the time they're done though, she's decided to go look for more information on herself and Epsilon follows her to Sidewinder where she activates his recovery beacon by shooting him. Which draws Wash and Meta to the base and into Tex's trap
The ensuing fight has Meta basically driving a capture unit into her faceplate and trapping Tex in the unite before he turns on Washington and the others, although his end goal seems to be collecting Epsilon given his current instability due to the lack of AI to run his equipment.
The Reds are integral in the fight to take him down, which ends with Meta going over the cliff. Once he's gone though, the only chance Epsilon has left of seeing Tex exists inside the unit and he follows her into it intending to either bring her out of it or die in there with her.
Thing is, during the process of hunting her, he starts to come to the realization that all he's doing is prolonging a cycle that needs to come to an end. By the time he reaches the last iteration and the 'world' inside the unit starts falling apart, he's ready for it all to end. He and Tex settle in to watch it and he finally does the one thing that the Director and Alpha had never been able to.
He lets her go. He chooses to forget her and basically settles in to die with the unit. The thing is, he's not that lucky. He winds up being rescued from the unit through the combined efforts of Carolina and Washington as well as the Reds and Blues, which he is completely not thrilled over. And he's even less thrilled to find out that he's been replaced with Washington on his own team.
But he goes along with it.
Traveling with Carolina and building a relationship with her also has a big influence on his personality. They're antagonistic at first, with Epsilon trying to get information on what she's up and Carolina more or less refusing to talk to anyone but Wash, at least until he ,unbeknownst to her, accompanies her to the island where York died and in the process finds videos diaries York made in his memory files. This is honestly a turning point in their relationship because Carolina seems to be more tolerant of him afterwards and he even begins defending her to the troopers.
When they reach Valhalla, though everything comes to a head and Epsilon all but loses it on his 'friends' snapping at each and every one of them in turn when they refuse to come along on the mission to finish finding the Director. Wash takes the side of the Reds and Blues which leaves Epsilon and Carolina taking their next steps alone. Thing is, Epsilon also almost immediately regrets his outburst.
So he and Carolina head to the facility and get inside only to find that the Director never stopped trying to bring his dead wife back properly even though Tex was just a fragment of a memory of her, a ghost that haunted all of them and Carolina finally gets her fight with Tex, only to realize she can't do it alone. And then the Reds and Blues show up, along with Wash and the fight begins again, leading to Epsilon repeating the conversation Tex had had with the Alpha years before.
And then he releases her from her prison basically. After this, he and Carolina confront the Director. Epsilon wants to kill him, but Carolina is the one who decides to show mercy in a sense. This is also the first scenewhere we see how he's become the full Alpha, even though he's displayed as Delta before, because each of the fragments comes out to sound off in the accusation.
After they leave though, he and Carolina go off on their own, heading to hunt down remnants of Project Freelancer. By the time they reunite with the Reds and Blues in twelve, they've been going after the mercenaries on their own, at least until they find out they're after the Reds and Blues.
So he and Carolina come back to help their team, their friends and prove more or less invaluable in the fight against the new enemy, or old enemy rather, given that Felix and Locus are working for Malcolm Hargrove, the Chairman of the UNSC oversight committee and the man behind Charon industries. Hargrove has big plans for the planet Chorus, once it's been cleared of all human life, that is, and doesn't like to be thwarted.
Working with the armies of Chorus, he does what he can to aid them, even to the point of transmitting a file outliing everything that the Chairman has done to the entire universe basically. This file and the revelation of his crimes is one of the things that draws the Chairman to Chorus.
And the Reds and Blues head to his ship for the final showdown. Epsilon riding along with Tucker. And this is where his story ends. Epsilon himself by this time is aware of his failing and when it comes time to stack the odds in his friends favor, he chooses to deconstruct so he can provide the extra control during the upcoming fight. His final speech outlines exactly how far he's come, and how his memories make him who he is.
Abilities/Special Powers Running Freelancer equipment, interfacing with weapons/ computers, moving from soldier to soldier via radio network, calculations, codebreaking, If he;s just human, he's basically just human.
Third-Person Sample:
Being human sucked in a lot of way. He was hungry, he was annoyed, he couldn't interface with Carolina's armor or the network in the way he was used to and let's not even touch on the other aspects of being human that were much less pleasant. Sure, he'd been human in the memory unit, but that....had been his own world in a way.
And he could always find another level.
Coming back here though and being in a human body? Definitely had him on edge, his first impulse to look for Carolina, to look for Wash or anyone remotely familiar, if they were even still here. It felt like no time had passed for him, but that didn't mean it was the same for the mansion.
And fuck, he got tired easily. Fuck Stairs.
Fuck stairs with a rusty fucking spoon sideways.
When he finally reached the floor Carolina's room was on, he beelined for her door, which for him was more dragging his ass down the hallway and sagging against the wall to catch his breath. Seriously.
Fuck the goddamn stairs.
First-Person Sample: [ Congratulations Wonderland, guess who's back and clearly adjusting to his new status, or not so new status, since he'd kind of gone human before he'd left. And he might be a little drunk, but hey, he can actually drink now. Definitely a plus to the human thing. ]
So, I'm back, not that it really matters to most of you assholes, but I figured I'd at least put something out for the people who were actually sort of interesting to talk to, like the Godzilla dude. I'll probably piss the rest of you off in one way or another though.
Kind of what I do.
