IN CHARACTER
Name: Caesar Salazar
Canon: Generator Rex
Canon Point: Third season, shortly after Black and White
Age: Late 20s, early 30s
History: Link here!
Personality:
More than anything else, Caesar wants to reverse the damage done by The Event. This isn't just because of the guilt of having been involved in the calamnity that killed thousands, if not millions; it’s because The Event was never supposed to happen. They were supposed to have been building nanites that would cure diseases, and stop hunger--not uncontrollably mutate random individuals everywhere.
Caesar didn't experience the five years following The Event due to another accident involving relativistic time dilation, but he gradually takes in the full effect after his return. Caesar's relationship with this new world is complicated. He caused its problems, but not alone. His friends and coworkers are gone, and his only remaining family member doesn't remember him. He works for an organization dedicated to handling nanite-mutants (which are called EVOs), and this puts Caesar in a position where he must face hard questions. Is it ethical to restart the research program that already caused so much damage before? What about the morality of placing mind-numbing collars on violent EVOs as a means of subduing them? What about when these EVOs are sentient, and then, what about when an EVO is his own little brother?
For the greater good, Caesar would try to subdue his brother personally. Not only was his brother acting erratically, logic hat it would be a more merciful solution in the long run, especially considering his organization's more deadly alternatives. Time spent alone in this organization and immersed in his work have hardened Caesar, and he’s grown more distant and less whimsical than at his original arrival. He makes no time for mending broken bridges with the little family he has left, seeing it as both impossible and irrelevant to his immediate goals. Already disinterested in forming new ties since his arrival, he focuses all the emotional intelligence he has on playing office politics and keeping to his personal agenda.
His agenda doesn’t include new friendships, or new family—even when the situation involves what could arguably be called his children. Two separate artificial intelligences that he’s written have evolved into sentient beings, and he rejects both of them resoundingly. The first loses all memory and sentience in an abrupt ‘accident’ of Caesar's, all so that Caesar’s brother wouldn’t be able to ask her questions about Caesar’s role in The Event. Caesar refuses to help the second AI when it returns from an exile, instead shooting it clear into a prison dimension. In Caesar’s defense, both AIs were working towards the ultimate slaughter of every living being on earth, and they came alarmingly close to it. They were never supposed to be sentient in the first place, and as far as he’s concerned, he was fixing yet more accidents.
Accidents are a recurrent theme around him, which is not much of a surprise: with his personal safety standards being as low as his are, life around him has a higher baseline of chaos than most. Caesar shows an odd sense of entitlement, particularly when something has sparked his curiosity. He acts with a right to endanger himself at will, ignoring whatever troubles he might cause if injured or worse. He also often extends his personal standards to those around him, testing equipment on and around them for the first time. This mindset leaves everyone around him sensing him as being a little 'off', and unpredictable. He doesn't try to live up to any mad scientist stereotype, but he certainly approaches it anyway.
Abilities/Skills:
Abilities:
He has no special abilities from magic or technology or etc.
Skills:
He's brilliant when it comes to programming
Good at unorthodox applications of regular science
He's skilled in anything related to nanotechnology
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
Determination to finish what he starts
Ability to see the bigger picture
Highly creative and very intelligent with numbers and science
Good at improvising with available tools
Weakness:
Terrible emotional habits
Bad at non-research related communication
He's a regular human infused with corrupted (useless) nanites
Items: He's carrying a hyper-electromagnet that's allegedly capable of disassembling a tank from a kilometer away. In the show we watched him use it to make a smoothie. He's also loaded with (currently) useless nanites, which if we want we can say are shed harmlessly until they're all gone.
SAMPLES
Network Sample:
[The camera is obscured at first look, adjusting focus until Caesar drops his hands. He doesn't live in front of a camera, but he can do things like this in a pinch.]
Good evening! This is your head of maintenance speaking.
I would like to inform you that all of you are about to have an unusually warm span of hours followed by uncomfortable cold. This is due to repairs to the Life Support systems, which are currently recovering from the coolant we purchased.
[He moves and then pauses thoughtfully, before adding more plainly:]
I'm having to take everything offline because the coolant froze the condensation coils, and now all of it is shattered. Stand by for further updates.
[Now he turns the camera off. Have fun with the maintenance, Avagi: the temperature fluctuations will be anywhere from barely noticeable to 'sweet baby jesus why are there icicles in my room'. They will be very temporary, and won't affect the entire station.]
Prose/Action Sample:
New place? Check. No way to get back? Also check. Blossoming denial that any of this was happening?
He wanted to check that too. The sheer probabilities of anything this catastrophic happening to him again were so astronomically low, it should have been impossible. It truly should have been.
And yet here he was, space-sick and staring after a task-bot as it scuttled back towards the doors. Caesar heroically levered himself to his feet and tried to totter after it, but by the time he found his feet well enough the task-bot was gone. Wonderful--just wonderful. Caesar held back a sigh and picked a direction at random, walking until he found someone. As soon as he did he approached politely, saying,
"Excuse me. Do you know where I can find this facility's Chief Science Officer?"
Priorities. He has them, of course, and they're not entirely based on his whims: coming from a world loaded with nanites as it is, he needs to make sure he's not about to contaminate the ship with anything irreversible.
One catastrophe is more than enough.
