SOL / PROGRAM
CONSIDERATE ♦ COURAGEOUS ♦ GRACEFUL ♦ REALISTIC ♦ TRUSTING
sol is one of those programs that has been around since the beginning of the tron system. brought over from the 'old' system, he has since been updated to work at the input/output towers gathering information on newcomers, indulging them on how everything works in introductory sessions and helping programs and users alike communicate with the other world outside the grid. before, sol was just a system's adviser of sorts on helping with how to improve the grid in ways for user adaption and inhabitancy until clu's previous uprising, reprogramming him into a part of his army. Since reverting back to somewhat of his formal self, sol has forgotten many portions of his past as his code has become corrupted in the reintegration process. he is still able to conduct normal activities asked of him and was able to be upgraded with ease, however there have been many times in which he 'blacks out.' Because of these black out sessions, and what he comes 'back' to, it has been made apparent to himself that he is carrying a virus. One of the reasons why his circuitry color is diluted from green to a greenish yellow hue. When these sessions occur, his corrupted coding takes the best of him and attacks those he's alone with and attempts to pass on the virus. currently it is unclear as to what type of virus he is carrying as he doesn't like to stand around the scene of the crime, but he knows that those he has come in contact with and had it happen to them seem to forget what ever occurred as if nothing happened at all. For that he is grateful, but it is also hard for him to be alone with someone. For right now, it's only happening with other programs. as of the moment, no one knows of this except for a close friend of his.
FRIENDS would be both a sweet and sour subject for sol, especially when it comes to programs. as much as he loves to surround himself with people, he has become a bit paranoid toward himself on the inside, feeling that if someone had gotten too close and he hurt them due to his corrupted state, he could never live with himself. he is extremely kind and if one persisted enough to become a closer acquaintance, sol would give in and go against what he knows as he is also highly trusting. sometimes that gets the best of him.
ENEMIES is pretty much a one way road right now seeing as how he doesn't go out of his way to get on others nerves or upset people. so if someone doesn't like him, he would probably be pretty oblivious, yet i can see him having a few in both departments - users and programs. he may have ruined some users perception on the grid when they first got there 'explaining' things in too great a detail or just destroying high expectations, lowering their fun so to speak. also being too close to the outside world might make a few programs jealous of his line of work, or maybe the fact he's a bit too nice could get on their nerves.
LOVERS. Although Sol is very familiar with the concept of love and it's interactive structures, such as the affection that goes on between users, it might make a few people uncomfortable or intrigued of how a program like him can love. For the moment, he isn't exactly looking to get attached to someone in such ways as he is in a sort of relationship with Selene, another program that knows him from both past and present.
IRA KINGSTON / USER
GUARDED ♦ HOSTILE ♦ ENVIOUS ♦ RECKLESS ♦ CORRUPTED
Meet Ira. He's your typical young adult that feels he's on the wrong side of twenty, who wants to do something with his life and just be somebody. But that always seems to come with a price. Ira here was in an accident at the age of four, which left him mute; and not by choice. Because of this, he got a lot of shit from his overly religious parents claiming it was 'the devil's hand' that struck him and caused such a thing. growing up was a little difficult for him, always being made fun of and secluding himself away in his bedroom to read comic books and getting lost in those super hero and villain stories. he even went so far as starting drugs when he got older to have fun with what friends he had, just to rebel against his parents as though to make a statement which resulted in them forcing him into therapy. you could say all that mixed together whilst growing up with negative elements made him a big jerk to most people he comes across. in comes sam flynn and opening the grid to the public. much to ira's amazement, when he first stepped through, he was able to say his first word's since he was four which had the biggest impact. here, he didn't have the limitations of constantly writing on a pad or using sign language to make himself heard, and he wouldn't be over looked anymore. on the grid he could do what he always wanted and interact with people to the fullest. but he's always been rather pessimistic, secluded and depressed, which always made the two clash. all in all ira has become obsessed with the grid, addicted to the point with not leaving for days at a time, unless someone has asked of him to. with sark making an appearance on the grid, many programs that were once under clu's army have slowly been going missing along with a few 'important' others. it's only a matter of time before people realize ira's affiliated with the program and his intentions.
FRIENDS will always be numbered for Ira. He isn't exactly the pleasant type to have hang around as he's always on the defensive, and will lash out if he feels threatened whether or not anyone intended. but there are a few that slip through the cracks and rubs off on him. he can be a rather nice and pleasant guy when you get to know him, but it will defiantly be a long up hill march until you get there, but beware; he can and will turn his back on you if he feels you deserve it.
ENEMIES comes in all shapes and sizes and he knows this all too well. His entire life he has been surrounded by them, with a few minor exceptions of those turned to friends. With the way he is, how he approaches people, how they perceive him just by the way he looks - sketchy - most would rather just continue to press on and not deal with him. Almost like it's just too much effort and it's like fighting with a stair master. his determination throws a lot of people off as well, and who knows how many enemies he's made in the last few months of him being on the grid.
LOVERS, for Ira, there are none. As much as he wishes he could have someone to care for, he always puts himself first. Ira has had a few times where obsession over someone can get the best of him and almost turn stalkerish, but that's as far as he's ever gotten. To be honest, he has almost given up completely on finding a significant other as he knows he's a big piece of work and would need someone to see past his outer shell. It would also jeopardize what he's doing for the time being, but there's always room for someone to try and get him to lighten up and bring out his other side that he's never had the chance to show.
ARRIA / PROGRAM
SELFLESS ♦ IMAGINATIVE ♦ OBSERVANT ♦ FOCUSED ♦ DEPENDANT
here's the baby for all my characters! little arria has been around since the days kevin flynn first started working on his new 'tron' system in his old computer, coped up under his arcade processing new information. she would initiation his coming and going, along with storing tons of information such as his video diaries, blueprints and anything else he stored on it. that was until he disappeared and she lied dormant for years, but then sam flynn came into the picture and fired up her circuits yet again. thanks to him, she was transferred over for management purposes when sam decided to finally open it to the public. she's rather innocent in a way, and in awe at finally getting to be within the fabled system she only heard so much about from kevin and his records. finally being able to see it for herself was a dream come true and to finally witness the one program he spoke so highly of, tron, made it all the better. Arria can be quite playful around all types of people, also very fierce when it comes to the games. Yet she's more of a cycle girl than fiddling around with the disks. If she had to, she would go to hell and back for the Users as she believes in them very much. Even though she doesn't act like it, arria is a very dated program and that impedes on the ever changing system she can't exactly help manage or do things for. More about her can be read here.
FRIENDS. Why, you aren't friends yet? but arria would love to get to know you! She's the type that would like to make friends with everybody, that is unless they're mean. Then she might just pout in every which way she could express herself. Keep in mind she isn't like a child 24/7. When seriousness is called for, it will be plastered all over her speech and expression within a user's heartbeat. and if she's not too afraid to do it, she'll love to do something for you! that is, so long as it's legal. she did something illegal once, and she didn't like getting in trouble for it.
ENEMIES would probably be programs for the most part that hate or talk badly of users. she is one of the creators programs, so if someone goes against mankind, you know for sure she will stand up and call them out. plus a few enemies might be those that can't stand her some-what happy-go-lucky demeanor. who knows how many people's nerves she treads along without even knowing it. hell, she'd even get derezzed for people, so that might turn a few off.
LOVERS is something she knows absolutely nothing about. Drop her a flirtatious pick up line, and she'd be a bit dumbfounded unless someone explained to her what happened. Right now, she has a bit of a thing for clu and yet she is completely unaware of it and whats going on. but maybe one day someone can help her understand the concept and explore into it? who knows, but it would be fun!
