History Characters / RedVsBlue

* CharacterDevelopment - All those betrayals do take a toll on one's psyche. [[spoiler: having someone you betrayed forgive you and welcome you back with open arms does too, but in a much nicer way.]]

* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Since no one on the Rooster Teeth team actually speaks Spanish, Lopez's dialogue is mainly generated mechanically via the online computer translator Babelfish. This leads to some... interesting... results for anyone who does speak the language. It's always [[RuleOfFunny Played for laughs]].

* The Juggernaut - Over the course of the series, he's shrugged off nearly everything imaginable, up to and including several combat knife wounds, multiple Battle Rifle shots, energy sword through the chest, and at least half a dozen shotgun rounds,[[spoiler: ''in the finale alone.'']]

* HoYay: Big time with Grif. [[spoiler:When he thinks Grif died falling off a cliff with the Meta, the guy's practically heartbroken.]]

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Simmons, naturally. "I've only been listening for ten minutes and I can already tell they're secretly in love. Why can't they see it?"

* OnlySaneMan: Views himself as this.

[[spoiler: Church has reappeared in Recreation as Epsilon. He spends most of the following season trying to remember himself and find Tex. However, when he finally found her, she betrayed him to try to find the director. She got trapped in the Epsilon unit, so Epsilon tried to bring her out of it. He failed, at least temporarily. However, he knows that he has all the time in the world to find Tex again, and can reminisce for eternity about the friends he made.]]

** Caboose also [[spoiler:rebuilt Church's body]] despite showing no previous experience with technology.

Blue Team's support vehicle, a battle tank with an artificial intelligence that answers to Sheila (her original name was Phyllis, but time travel is involved). The Blues expressed bewilderment that Command decided to supply them with a tank no one knew how to operate, but Caboose nonetheless attempted to rescue Church using Sheila, killing him in the process and apparently falling in love with the "nice tank lady." If Sheila paid much attention to Caboose, this would form a LoveTriangle given her attraction to Lopez. After Caboose's attempt, the Blues seem to decide that Sheila works best driving herself. Throughout the series, Sheila is a major asset for Blue Team...when she isn't feeling moody and oppositional or running off with Lopez to form an all-robot faction.

[[spoiler: In Revelation it is revealed that Sheila's original name, pronounced Phyllis but spelt as F.I.L.S.S, stands for Freelancer Integrated Logistics and Security System. F.I.L.S.S is currently running a secret facility owned by the Director, but it is unknown if she is the same AI as Sheila or some kind of duplicate. She has no memory of the Blood Gulch crew.]]

A dark green/black-armored [[HiredGuns mercenary]] and former Freelancer, the biggest BadAss in all of Blood Gulch, an infiltration expert thanks to a cloaking device, and a better fighter than both teams combined. [[SamusIsAGirl Her real name is Allison]], and her Freelancer handle is Texas. Tex is contracted to support the Blues after Church's death and proceeds to terrify Tucker and Caboose while leading a [[OneManArmy one-(wo)man]] assault on Red Base to recover the Blue flag. Unfortunately, a prodigious grenade toss by Donut kills her, but she returns as a ghost some time later, inhabiting a robot body in a manner similar to Church. This experience mellows Tex out somewhat, as it frees her from the influence of her [=AI=] partner O'Malley (see below) - though by no means is she someone you should make angry. Tex hangs out with the Blues when she isn't off on her own, usually attempting to foil O'Malley or Wyoming's plans, but as the series progresses she gets more and more entangled in the plots surrounding the dupes at Blood Gulch. In the finale, she [[spoiler:voluntarily reunites with O'Malley in an attempt to manipulate Junior and the alien race into helping humanity win the war, and is killed when Sarge sets off a bomb in the spaceship she hijacked]].

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption - cross {{HSQ}} and TearJerker.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:She's an AI, like Church, who the Director made based off of memories of a dead loved one. However, since his last memories of said loved one were her death, Tex is cursed to ultimately fail at everything she does.]]

''Reconstruction'' revealed that Omega was actually a fragment of the Alpha, the [=AI=] given to Project Freelancer which was subsequently tortured into fragmenting. Omega inherited the Alpha's anger, which explains O'Malley's ability to inspire fury in those it possessed, as well as the Alpha's ability to travel via radio transmissions. Omega was recovered by the Meta (see below) and was possibly destroyed at the end of the series...

->''"...a ''doctor'' cures people. A ''medic'' just helps people feel more comfortable... while they die."''

Also known as Crunchbite, Crouchasaurus, Fluffy the Alien Who Only Loves, and Honk-Honk (which may be his real name, but probably not). An alien who gets off on the wrong foot with Blue Team by beating Church right out of his robot body, and then pounding Tucker into the ground after the latter recovers an alien-built sword, binding it to him. The Alien then proceeds to browbeat the Blues into helping him on his quest to save his people, which apparently involved using the sword to unlock a spaceship. The next step is unknown, as Wyoming proceeded to blow the Alien out of the sky. Besides complaining about the Alien's odor or inability to speak English, Tucker commented that the creature was always standing over him when he woke up, which leads us to...

''Recreation'' reveals that Epsilon houses memories of all the Alpha fragments. Delta appears to give advice and information on their behalf to Caboose. He also was transferred into the Forerunner Monitor along with Epsilon. Whether he is still in the monitor or is in Epsilon's new body is unknown.

[[spoiler: After being Washington's comedic partner for most of Revelation, the Meta betrays him and stabs Tex in the face with the Capture Unit, trapping her inside it. Washington tries to fight him and is nearly killed. Luckily, the Blood Gulch crew team up to take him down, hooking him to a wrecked warthog's tow cable and sending him off the side of a cliff, into the ocean.]]

Although he does not appear in the series itself, the Chairman serves as the counterpart to the Director during ''Reconstruction'', where they alternate reading memos directed at each other during the start of each episode. The Chairman leads a committee to review what has occurred with the Freelancer Project, mostly to find out how it can have multiple [=AI's=] when they were only given one. Although he starts off calm and friendly in his dealings with the Director, he soon becomes hostile when he realizes that the Director is stalling for time and avoiding answering his questions. [[spoiler: In the end he informs the Director that he is under arrest and that entire moral codes for dealing with [=AIs=] are being re-written due to the Director's actions.]] In ''Recreation'', [[spoiler:he returns, this time apparently commanding a UNSC high security complex, and has made a deal with Agent Washington to ensure the latters freedom.]]

This, combined with a flair for calligraphy, appreciation of interior decorating, and the "Officer Hot Pants" surprise at Sarge's birthday party helps solidify Donut's status as StereotypeGay by season three. Although he has a surprisingly good arm when it comes to throwing grenades, as proven when he killed Tex with a precision throw from across the canyon, in most combat situations he is expected (and ordered) to run around and [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl scream like a girl]].

[[spoiler:He returns after ''Reconstruction'' during an experiment by Sarge to test the capabilities of a new plasma weapon. He's mistaken at first for a holographic Grif clone, but the others soon realize its him and he passes out, exclaiming that he needs water.]]

[[spoiler:At the end of Recreation, he was shot by Washington. In the opening to Revelation; Doc confirms that Donut was dead. However in the sponsors-only ending of Chapter 13 shutting down the armour lock on all armours ends up bringing him back to life, which has been confirmed to be canon via WordOfGod.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his rather... unusual behavior... he managed to grenade Tex from across the field.
** The fact that he was [[spoiler: working with Tucker as an infiltration specialist implies he received some special training to perform his new job.]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: In the sponsors-only ending of Chapter 13 of Revelation unlocking all the armours ends up bringing Donut back to life, no worse for wear besides having blood over his shoes. Has been confirmed as being canon by WordOfGod.]]

[[spoiler:At the end of Recreation, he was shot by Washington. However, since he mentioned leaving copies of himself at the base, he is unlikely to be 'dead'.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Has understandably evolved into this, especially in the ''Recollections Trilogy'', after chafing under the frankly insane leadership of Sarge and later O'Malley.

* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Since no one on the Rooster Teeth team actually speaks Spanish, Lopez's dialogue is mainly generated mechanically via the online computer translator Babelfish. This leads to some... interesting... results for anyone who does speak the language.

** In ''Revelation'' 17, his real name is revealed: [[spoiler: Sarge!]]

* HoYay: Despite the animousity that sometimes run between the two, he and Simmons have their moments.

* [[spoiler: NotQuiteDead: In the sponsors-only ending of Chapter 13 of Revelation unlocking all the armours ends up bringing Donut back to life, no worse for wear besides having blood over his shoes. Has been confirmed as being canon by WordOfGod.]]

Blue Team's ''actual'' leader, who died before the series began, leaving Church in charge (and Tucker in his armor). Unlike everyone else in the canyon, he was quite relaxed, soft-spoken, and even-tempered. The captain was very informal with his teammates, had a CasaLaneParenting attitude towards his subordinates (maybe [[CampGay a little too much,]] actually), and called the opposing army "those rascals." Time travel reveals that he'd been accidentally killed by Church in a StableTimeLoop. He was raised from the dead somehow by aliens in season five, only to be possesed by Omega, and then killed shortly after regaining his freedom.

Plenty of unanswered questions surround Tex, and ''Reconstruction'' has only added to them. She does not return during that series, despite overcoming death previously, though Caboose was seen doing ''something'' with her robot body during the Epilogue. It is probable but as of yet unconfirmed that Tex [[spoiler:is an [=AI=] like Church, but if she is, it is unclear whether or not she is a fragment of the Alpha or another [=AI=] entirely]]. Her relationship with Church is also unresolved: according to Church they were very nearly married, but Tex had a habit of stealing from him and sleeping with other men, so they parted less than amicably. Given the epilogue of ''Reconstruction'', Tex is [[spoiler:[[ReplacementGoldfish presumably based on a woman]] ''Director'' Leonard Church once cared for]], but why she was subsequently involved in the Freelancer program remains unexplained.

* [[spoiler:TomatoInTheMirror: She's an AI, like Church, who the Director made based off of memories of a dead loved one. However, since his last memories of said loved one were her death, Tex is cursed to ulimately fail at everything she does.]]

Doc, who earned his nickname after Church declared [=DuFresne=] too hard to pronounce, hardly deserves his title. He attended (but did not pass) medical school at Jamaica State, doesn't know how his healing doodad works, and treats Caboose's foot injury by rubbing his neck with aloe vera. He earned his unique rank by sending Command a letter every day for four years asking for it. His whereabouts during ''Reconstruction'' are unknown, though when Washington asks the Reds if they know a medic, they violently answer in the negative. [[spoiler: In the extended version, they do call him, but forget (or didn't care enough) to tell him they didn't need him anymore. He arrives to find no one there, and says to no one in particular: "You guys suck".]]

[[spoiler: After being held prisoner by the UNSC for inadvertantly destroying the evidence of Project Freelancer's misdeeds, Washington was released, and is now working with the Meta to track down Epsilon. When he finally did, he managed to hold his own fighting Tex, and even tried to help Epsilon save her. At the end of the series, he joins the Blue team so that he won't get thrown in jail.]]

Another member of the Freelancer project, though she never got an [=AI=] due to Wash's breakdown, a fact she still harbored him some resentment for. She was rescued from the Meta by Washington in ''Recovery One'', [[spoiler: but was in fact working as "Recovery Two" the entire time. She later betrayed him to obtain Delta and escape the Meta, leaving Washington for dead. A sufferer of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, according to Delta, she betrayed her twin brother North in a similar manner to escape the Meta the first time. It bit her in the ass when Washington shot her in the head for revenge.]] Her armor is purple with green trim.

* The Juggernaut - Over the course of the series, he's shrugged off nearly everything imaginable. [[spoiler: up to and including several combat knife wounds, multiple Battle Rifle shots, energy sword through the chest, and at least half a dozen shotgun rounds, ''in the finale alone.'']]

Although he does not appear in the series itself, the Chairman serves as the counterpart to the Director during ''Reconstruction'', where they alternate reading memos directed at each other during the start of each episode. The Chairman leads a committee to review what has occurred with the Freelancer Project, mostly to find out how it can have multiple [=AI's=] when they were only given one.

[[spoiler: In the end he informs the Director that he is under arrest and that entire moral codes for dealing with [=AIs=] are being re-written due to the Director's actions.]] In ''Recreation'' [[spoiler:he returns, this time apparently commanding a UNSC high security complex, and has made a deal with Agent Washington to ensure the latters freedom.]]

'''Sergeant "Sarge"'''

* BadAss: Do NOT mess with the Meta. [[Understatement you will regret it.]] [[spoiler:As Washington finds out much later. See EvilIsNotAToy, below.]]

* HoYay: Despite the animousity that sometimes run between the two, he and Simmons have their moments.

** Though he still did better than them.
* TookALevelInBadass: Before the reintroduction of Tex, he was the most badass member of the series. And he remains the most badass non-Freelancer.
** He stabs [[spoiler: The Meta]] with his sword in close combat. This is a character who was fighting one BadassNormal and a BadassAbnormal earlier, yet Tucker still manages to land a solid hit on him.

* CloudCuckoolander: Far from being just plain stupid, Caboose is almost completely divorced from reality and utters many bizarre yet occasionally insightful non sequiturs.

The "Blood Gulch Chronicles'" BigBad, Omega was the [=AI=] partner assigned to Tex as part of the Freelancer program ("O'Malley" is a portmanteau of their names, Omega and Allison). While Tex was already, according to Church, "a rotten bitch," the addition of Omega turned her into "a rotten bitch with cybernetic enhancements." After the Freelancer program was shut down following Agent Washington's breakdown (see below), Omega possessed Tex and fled the facility before he could be removed. A bloodthirsty and malevolent [=AI=], O'Malley was capable of [[BodySurf possessing soldiers via their helmet radios]] like a virus. Once Tex was killed, O'Malley briefly possessed Caboose (and may have contributed towards his drop in intelligence), then seized the medic Frank [=DuFresne=] (see below) up until the finale. Though a real danger, O'Malley's dialogue frequently dips into cartoonish levels of villainy

[[spoiler: Church has reappeared in Recreation as Epsilon. He spends most of the following season trying to remember himself and find Tex. However, when he finally found her, she betrayed him to try to find the director. She got trapped in the Epsilon unit, so Epsilon tried to bring her out of it. He failed.]]

[[spoiler: She has since appeared again in the ninth episode of ''Revelation'' where Epsilon and Caboose have traveled to a secret facility belonging to the Director.]]

* EvilIsNotAToy: Wash orders the Meta around for most of Revelation, using him a lot like a weapon. He seems to have forgotten how dangerous the Meta is. [[This really bites him in the ass later on.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: The events of Revelation seem to have caused him to mature. Notice how in the later episodes, he's a lot more level-headed and quiet when he needs to be.

[[spoiler: Church has reappeared in Recreation as Epsilon/a floating bowling ball, and his memories are a little fuzzy, based mostly on what Caboose told him. He also has a laserface and telekinetic powers, although he can't use them at will yet.]]

[[spoiler: She has since appeared again in the ninth episode of ''Revelation'' where Epsilon and Caboose have traveled to a secret facility belonging to the Director. It is currently unclear if this is the same Tex from before, or a copy of sorts.]]

''Reconstruction'' revealed that Omega was actually a fragment of the Alpha, the [=AI=] given to Project Freelancer which was subsequently tortured into fragmenting. Omega inherited the Alpha's anger, which explains O'Malley's ability to inspire fury in those it possessed, as well as the Alpha's ability to travel via radio transmissions. Omega was recovered by the Meta (see below) and was possibly destroyed at the end of the series...[[spoiler:though if Church survives the E.M.P. based on his ability to project himself, logically the Omega should be able to as well.]]

In ''Revelation'' [[spoiler: he is called to Valhalla by Simmons; who was coerced into calling him by Wash and the Meta. He is now their prisoner.]]

[[spoiler: After being held prisoner by the UNSC for inadvertantly destroying the evidence of Project Freelancer's misdeeds, Washington was released, and is now working with the Meta to track down Epsilon. He seems to be acting even more like, as Church said, a "cold motherfucker."]]

[[spoiler: In Revelation it is revealed that Sheila's original name, pronounced Phyllis but spelt as F.I.L.S.S, stands for Freelancer Integrated Logistics and Security System. F.I.L.S.S is currently running a secret facility owned by the Director, but it is unknown if she is the same AI as Sheila or some kind of duplicate. She has no memory of the Blood Gulch crew.

A dark green/black-armored [[HiredGuns mercenary]] and former Freelancer, the biggest BadAss in all of Blood Gulch, an infiltration expert thanks to a cloaking device, and a better fighter than both teams combined. [[SamusIsAGirl Her real name is Allison]], and her Freelancer handle is Texas. Tex is contracted to support the Blues after Church's death and proceeds to terrify Tucker and Caboose while leading a [[OneManArmy one-(wo)man]] assault on Red Base to recover the Blue flag. Unfortunately, a prodigious grenade toss by Donut kills her, but she returns as a ghost some time later, inhabiting a robot body in a manner similar to Church. This experience mellows Tex out somewhat, as it frees her from the influence of her [=AI=] partner O'Malley (see below) - though by no means is she someone you should make angry. Tex hangs out with the Blues when she isn't off on her own, usually attempting to foil O'Malley or Wyoming's plans, but as the series progresses she gets more and more entangled in the plots surrounding the dupes at Blood Gulch. In the finale, she [[spoiler:voluntarily reunites with O'Malley in an attempt to manipulate Junior and the alien race into helping humanity win the war, and is killed when Church sets off a bomb in the spaceship she hijacked]].

'''"Sarge"'''

'''Sergeant Dexter Grif'''

The closest person to being ''the'' main character, Blue Team's de facto leader, [[Main/{{OnlySaneMan}} Only Sane Man]], [[Main/{{DeadpanSnarker}} Deadpan Snarker]], and world champion [[Main/{{Jerkass}} Jerkass]], although he has a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a nicer side]]. Church is a neurotic and almost perpetually angry individual who barely gets along with his teammates. He's killed in a friendly fire incident very early in the series, but quickly returns as a ghost, and later possesses a robotic body. Much of his dialogue consists of angry and/or confused yelling, often caused by his lousy sniping. He's the one in light blue/cobalt armor, though in "ghost form" his armor is white (and transparent).

* TookALevelInBadass: Before the reintroduction of Tex, he was the most badass member of the series.

Caboose, who accidentally enlisted in the Blue Army after mistaking a recruitment center for a college, was introduced as TheFool, but [[{{Flanderization}} devolves into]] a RalphWiggum quickly. As his name suggests, he is the last to arrive at any train of thought's destination. Occasional [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind journeys into his mind]] have revealed that Caboose's view of the world is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} at drastic odds with reality]] - he has mental constructs representing the rest of the cast running around inside of his head, ranging from a Church who vehemently insists that Caboose is his best friend, to a Sarge that talks like a pirate. Caboose is a bigger danger to his teammates than to his enemies, to the extent that the surest way to get him to shoot someone is to tell him they're on his team, and Command has a keyboard shortcut to report his teamkills (Ctrl+F+U).

Caboose primarily serves as a comic relief character and gets some of the series' best lines, but he has occasional impact on the plot. After Tex's death he was briefly possessed by O'Malley (and the resulting mental trauma may explain his lowered [=IQ=] afterwards), and when the Red and Blue Teams had to work together to track down the rogue [=AI=], he helped Sarge combat the Zealots of Battle Creek thanks in part to his superhuman strength ("God's way of compensating"). Caboose gets along (marginally) better with machines than humans, hence his "relationship" with Sheila and his friendship of sorts with Andy the bomb. And once in a great while, [[DumbassHasAPoint he has a useful idea]], such as the plan that got Washington and both teams into Command near the finale of ''Reconstruction.'' He wears dark blue armor, and in episodes created using ''{{Halo}} 3'' is easy distinguishable due to his Mark V helmet, as the rest of the cast have upgraded to Mark [=VIs=]. In ''Recreation'' [[spoiler: He used various bits and pieces to try and rebuild Church. Hence, Epsilon's memories are based on Caboose's view of the Red and Blue teams...]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse:

* TookALevelInDumbass: Was originally written as merely somewhat foolish early in Season 1, but quickly became outright insane by Season 2 and 3.

In Revelation it is revealed that Sheila's original name, pronounced Phyllis but spelt as F.I.L.S.S, stands for Freelancer Integrated Logistics and Security System. F.I.L.S.S is currently running a secret facility owned by the Director, but it is unknown if she is the same AI as Sheila or some kind of duplicate. She has no memory of the Blood Gulch crew.

[[spoiler:In an extended, sponsor-only episode of ''Reconstruction'' he is heard in the background during the Pelican recording expressing his disappointment with how small his explosion was. This indicates that he can explode multiple times without killing himself. Think explosionman]]

[[spoiler: Lopez claims to have killed her. However, Grif doesn't believe this, claiming she's MadeOfIron]]

The main series' BigBad, Omega was the [=AI=] partner assigned to Tex as part of the Freelancer program ("O'Malley" is a portmanteau of their names, Omega and Allison). While Tex was already, according to Church, "a rotten bitch," the addition of Omega turned her into "a rotten bitch with cybernetic enhancements." After the Freelancer program was shut down following Agent Washington's breakdown (see below), Omega possessed Tex and fled the facility before he could be removed. A bloodthirsty and malevolent [=AI=], O'Malley was capable of [[BodySurf possessing soldiers via their helmet radios]] like a virus.

Though a real danger, O'Malley's dialogue frequently dips into cartoonish levels of villainy

In ''Revelation'' [[spoiler: he is called to Valhalla by Simmons; who was coerced into calling him by Wash and the Meta]].

Also known as Crunchbite, Crouchasaurus, Fluffy the Alien Who Only Loves, or possibly his name is Honk-Honk. An alien who gets off on the wrong foot with Blue Team by beating Church right out of his robot body, and then pounding on Tucker after the latter recovers an alien-built sword, binding it to them. The Alien then proceeds to browbeat the Blues into helping him on his quest to save his people, which apparently involved using the sword to unlock a spaceship. The next step is unknown, as Wyoming proceeded to blow the Alien out of the sky. Besides complaining about the Alien's odor or inability to speak English, Tucker commented that the creature was always standing over him when he woke up, which leads us to...

It turns out the Alien's species reproduces via parasitic embryos, and Tucker's mysterious illness near the end of the series is a case of MisterSeaHorse. Junior seems to have inherited his "mother's" catchphrase, and serves to awaken some glimmers of a (dysfunctional) paternal instinct in Tucker, as well as a strong desire in Church to euthanize the "abomination." Junior turns out to be the destined savior of the Alien's race, a fact that O'Malley and Wyoming became ''very'' interested in - they planned to infect Junior with Omega, then use him to control the alien race, winning the war for humanity. When Tex and Omega tried to airlift him out of the canyon, Andy the Bomb blew up the craft. His fate after that is only hinted at during a [[ApocalypticLog black box recording]] playback of the ship's crash landing in Reconstruction, Chapter 5.

''"Chill dude, take a chill pill. If you don't have a chill pill, take a chill strip - put it on your tongue, it dissolves."''

A yellow-armored former Freelancer who turned to petty burglary after the project collapsed. York has one bad eye, due to a [[NoodleIncident past incident]] involving him, Tex and Wyoming. He agrees to help Tex track down Wyoming in the ''Out Of Mind'' mini-series. [[spoiler:Doesn't make it]]. His special suit ability was rapid regeneration, and his [=AI=] partner was...

[[spoiler: After being held prisoner by the UNSC for his involvement in Project Freelancer, Washington was released, and is now working with the Meta to track down Epsilon. He seems to be acting even more like, as Church said, a "cold motherfucker."]]

Another member of the Freelancer project, though she never got an [=AI=] due to Wash's breakdown, a fact she still harbored him some resentment for. She was rescued from the Meta by Washington in ''Recovery One'', [[spoiler: but was in fact working as "Recovery Two" the entire time. She later betrayed him to obtain Delta and escape the Meta, leaving Washington for dead. A sufferer of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, according to Delta she betrayed her twin brother North in a similar manner to escape the Meta the first time. It bit her in the ass when Washington shot her in the head for revenge.]] Her armor is purple with green shoulders.

The former Freelancer Agent Maine, who snapped and started tracking down and murdering other agents, then stripping them of their combat [=AIs=] and special equipment, [[MegaManning growing in power with each victory]]. The BigBad of the ''Recovery One'' and ''Reconstruction'' series, the Meta refers to itself as a collective entity due to the number of consciousnesses running around inside its head, and seems to be set on recovering all of the Freelancer [=AIs=] in order to reconstruct the Alpha from which they were derived. A formidable opponent - Church compares the Meta to the [[OneManArmy one woman army]] Tex, but says "this thing's like...eight of her." Its white armor (though it can change color due to a chameleon circuit) is a hodgepodge of parts from a number of designs, and the Meta's voice varies from a CreepyChild hissing whisper to a susurrus of voices talking at once to animalistic snarls.

And Washington recently [[spoiler:said she was, in fact, a she. It's not the first time a female Freelancer's sounded like a dude.]]

And Washington recently [[spoiler:said she was, in fact, a she. It's not the first time a female Freelancer's sounded like a dude, SoYeah.]]
