Pixie Led Character History
I am duplicating my past character history I have used for North here as the wiki is hot garbage.
Red vs. Blue is a Halo fanfiction machinima—its creators would probably dispute my use of the word ‘fanfiction’ there but fundamentally, that’s what it is. As such, it uses many elements from Halo canon, although it deviates at many places as well. Its seasons are set out of order; the first five seasons deal with the simulation soldiers in the canyon known as Blood Gulch, but later on the viewer learns that these soldiers are there for training purposes for the agents of Project Freelancer. This program was created to test the use of AI in partnering with its agents, but as they were only allowed one AI for their experiments, they took drastic means and tortured the AI into splitting into pieces. Eventually the whole program fell apart, and North was one of the casualties of
this.
This background is in chronological order, although the events shown in the actual program are not.
An AI scientist named Leonard Church loses his wife in the midst of securing his education in the field. He then raises his daughter alone, but manages to get his PhD in artificial intelligence.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the UNSC Earth Government has been seeking a “magic bullet” solution to ending the war with the aliens, which has been raging for over 20 years. Because of this, Dr. Church gains funding for Project Freelancer, and begins to be known as the Director. Although he is intending to partner all the agents with AIs, he’s only granted funding for one. He decides to use his own mind as a basis for the AI, naming it Alpha. During its creation, however, the memory of his wife splits off as its own entity. This causes him to realize he can torture the AI and cause other fragments to split off. His employee, known as the Counselor, begins to help with this.
Simulation bases are built, allowing the agents to train while interacting with real, if incompetent, simulation soldiers. In the process of setting up the Project, the Director hires his own daughter to be an agent in the program. She is designated Agent Carolina. He assigns the memory of his wife that had split off of Alpha as an agent as well, putting her in a robot body and designating her Agent Texas.
Agent Texas is active during several missions, during which the Project kidnaps a Huragok alien, which can repair any type of technology. The Director uses this alien to further his research in splitting AIs via torture. North is assigned the childlike AI fragment, Theta, and the two are seen to be a competent pairing when it comes to soldiering.
Eventually Agent Connecticut defects, having delved into the Project's files and realizing what is going on. She leaves the evidence behind for Agent Texas to find. Texas finds the evidence and also defects, leading a break-in to attempt to rescue Alpha and Agent Carolina. North is part of the team that defects with her, and he acts as the inside man during the break-in. The mission fails, and the spaceship that is functionally working as the Project’s headquarters crashes into the planet where the simulation bases are headquartered.
Agent North and his sister South leave, running away in order to rescue his own AI, Theta, from the entity known as the Meta. The Meta is the team of Sigma and his host, Maine, who begin gathering the other AIs so that they may be reassembled and become a full human. Eventually, the Meta attacks North in pursuit of Theta, a position that South had placed him in.
