CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: Rinzler
SERIES: Tron Legacy
CANON POINT: Shortly after capturing Quorra
LOSS: The ability to separate his identity disc
ABOUT THE CHARACTER:
Powerful. Lethal. CLU's personal enforcer and loyal minion.
These are just some of the things that one can say about Rinzler. But there's more to Rinzler than a mindless minion.
Rinzler was based around and has the core programming of Tron. As Tron, he was loyal to his friends, affectionate, and devoted to the cause of the users to the point that he would have willingly sacrificed himself to save them. He rebelled in the old system against the MCP on behalf of the users, and managed to take it down. He was even willing to be brought over into the new system to help Flynn build a perfect system. In fact, when CLU turned on Kevin Flynn, declaring him corrupted for his obsession with the ISOs, Tron sacrificed himself to give Flynn a chance to escape. Or at least, it was what was supposed to have happened. Indeed, it would have probably been kinder than the hard truth of what happened to Tron.
CLU instead took the basic material of Tron and re-purposed into something better. Into what he saw as perfection. He already had the features that CLU needed. They just needed refined and redirected.
Rinzler is something so different from Tron that it too the small marking that CLU had left intact for Kevin Flynn to realize who he really was. His loyalty to the users and his friends has been overridden and altered. Now, his loyalty is to CLU. Nothing more, nothing less. He is CLU's most loyal servant. Anything that CLU needs done, all he needs to do is ask it of Rinzler. Anything he chooses to do to Rinzler, it will not be questioned. He is CLU's servant. There is no hesitation. No questioning. Just perfect, flawless obedience. He still has some independence of mind and flexibility left to him, because a completely mindless drone would be worthless. He can make some judgment calls regarding his orders. But overall, he gets things done.
He is also a competent and extremely lethal participant in the Grid Games. He shows no mercy with his opponents, derezzing with little hesitation. He is an absolutely brutal opponent to the point where the Disc Wars competitions with him as the final round might as well just be a death sentence. No one is going to get out of it alive, between his capabilities and unique combat style and the way that things are basically rigged in his favor.
Rinzler is clever enough to put things together though, such as the detail of Sam Flynn bleeding from the injury that he took in their match, and while he would have finished the match in spite of this, he has enough curiosity and presence of mind to realize an anomaly like an unknown user on the Grid needed to be known to CLU.
And one of the biggest changes? He speaks rarely now. Mostly, he makes an odd rumbling noise. He can speak, but for some reason or another, it's usually limited to raspy statements of no more than a few words at a time.
However, the repurposing isn't without cracks and flaws, as could be seen when Rinzler was exposed to stimulus that reminded himself of what he was to the point where he finally betrayed CLU. Where he remembered that once, he fought for the users. That the Creator had been a friend once. Something worth dying for.
ABILITIES: Rinzler is a highly skilled combatant, capable of fighting with two identity discs. Something extremely unusual, and pretty much unique to him on the grid. He's also agile and capable of some fairly impressive acrobatic feats. He's also quite adaptable, as can be seen from the way he handle the changing gravity in Disc Wars when he's fighting Sam Flynn. He's also quite effective with both lightcycles and lightjets.
THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE: The games. Again with the games. Disc wars this time. Rinzler would be pacing impatiently if he could, but it wouldn't do to show his feelings quite so... Visibly. All there is for him to do for now is watch and wait. Not his favorite way to spend his time by any means. And it's not like he ever gets anything unusual or a real challenge to make thing interesting. Just destroying the same kind of foolish programs that manage to survive to the final round. To meet their execution at his hands. There's no hope for them, even if they might think otherwise. They may as well die to those other combatants.
Rinzler knows what he really is. CLU's executioner. Clu's perfect enforcer. No one exists that can beat him. CLU made him that way.
This time, however... The games already are going different. He almost didn't notice the one program. Until the program decided to try to escape. His only possible moves would lead straight to the final round. Straight to where Rinzler's waiting. He hears the announcement, rumbling as he eyes the foolish program that had jumped to his own execution at Rinzler's hands.... There's something off about the program, but it doesn't matter. He's going to make it a moot point soon enough, drawing his discs.
Fear. To be expected. The program isn't stupid enough to think it stands a chance against Rinzler. He isn't Clu's personal enforcer for nothing. The foolish program just rushed to its own demise. Disappointing. Not even really a challenge.
FIRST-PERSON JOURNAL SAMPLE: ((I know it's a canonly mostly voiceless character. Still, trying to at least give some voice in the sample to meet the requirements. Tell me if you want something else.))
[There's a soft, confused rumbling noise in the background as the one making the entry contemplates the book in front of him carefully. While speaking isn't exactly an easy thing for him anymore... He could always write. Have some mechanically precise text in the journal.]
Is this the user world? How did I get here? [There's an annoyed growl.] Where is the ISO?
How can I return to the Grid? Do not belong here. Need to find the users. CLU needs me there.
[The sound of growling and restless pacing can be heard in the background as he hasn't even bothered to shut the journal on finishing the entry.]
INTENT: I've played him as marginally AU in another game with a full cast, and I'm curious to try him in another setting with a less complete cast.
