Bucky was born by Arca'Mundo, the Arcane Dweller, by choice. He inscribe a shard of the Cryokinetic Crystal (remember, from Fairy's FC RP) in his art. Bucky has the power of snow and ice, but only aquires this when he has an independent set of mind (in other words, without relying on his parents, his general, Zomboss, or Cyphin himself). But his lost memories just make it worst. Zomboss on the other hand (since you said that he made all terminators) wants to convert Bucky into a terminator, using the ice powers to destroy plantkind (the main reason he seeks for the crystal). The vibranium arm is only the first part. He will train Bucky to any kind of physical combat until the time that he will replace his brain with the terminator's CPU, Bucky will become independent and now can unleash the Crystal's powers.

Bucky is one of Cyphin's protection missions. He shall prevent Zomboss from using him as a superweapon. So from his childhood, Cyphin used some of his mission on Bucky's training. He will eventually learn how to act without getting ordered and unleash his powers manually. The Harbinger Twins are also after his powers and will use it as their own, so Cyphin must protect him.

TAPA, what do you say? You can add changes to it. Plan:

1.) Zomboss will try to capture & convert Bucky into a T-Hybrid (see blog to know what a T-Hybrid is), directly controlled by Zomboss. Ultimately, Bucky foils Zomboss's plan of turning him into a terminator, & becomes a hero living in the unknown, leading the group you said will resemble the Suicide Squad (Cyphin may or may not be part of it, though I recommend that he isn't part of it)

2.) Crazy Dave programs a mission for The Terminator to undertake: TERMINATE BUCKY (to prevent him from being used). He, an unstoppable tank, will relentlessly keep on pursuing Bucky throughout some parts of the storyline, halted by nothing, not even by the T-3000...Or maybe, we could have it that Cyphin was not a T-3000 back then, but turns into one later on in the story, in the second half.

3.) Cyphin will train Bucky, but someone else (someone normal) will help him keep on escaping  The  T-850 Model 101, who will always chase them (so it sort of makes The Terminator a "villain" like in the first terminator movie, although he will delete the mission when, by the end of the story, an independent Bucky promises to keep himself safe, good, & out of Zomboss's reach to prevent himself from being turned into a T-Hybrid. Although terminators cannot be bargained or reasoned with, The Spirit of Vengeance (who used to be one of God's angels), sensing that he is telling the truth & that he will honor the promise, wipes the mission from his host's CPU, causing the two to depart in peace).

  4.) The T-3000's main mission objective is to ensure Bucky will not be converted into a T-Hybrid (this mission, in the end, will succeed). Then, the T-3000 will end up learning emotions overtime as he bonds with Bucky (throughout the second & fifth terminator films, it was shown that Arnold Schwarzenegger's character (a T-800 unit) developed emotions like love & understood the value of life overtime as a result of interacting with his mission priority).

5.) The diabolical plan of the Harbinger Twins is to suck Bucky's hidden powers to prolong their life span (unlike the terminators, I guess the Preservers are biological mortals (that live for several millenia), so they can feel pain & emotions)...I suggest that, rather than making up a "Preserver caste", you can just set up the twins as people who used to be good-natured heroes, who ended up becoming sorceresses & practicing the dark arts when they gained in their hearts a strong greed & lust for power...They then linked their life energies to one another, giving them their strengths & weaknesses.

6.) A T-3000 is hard to beat, but the Harbinger Twins will use a T-3000's weakness: opposing fields of electromagnetism. In the movie of Terminator: Genisys, the T-3000 was fought by the use of electromagnetic gloves & fields, so the Harbinger Twins will be armed with these & possibly more electromagnetic weapons (an EMPeach is too weak for that purpose, though), eventually coming close to ripping him apart & rendering his atoms inert with opposing electromagnetic fields. BTW, the Harbingers, their plans conflicting with Mr. Big Head, won't ally themselves with Zomboss.

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">7.) The Obliterator will be programmed to recapture Bucky for Zomboss. Towards the end of the plot, he & The Terminator will engage in a showdown under the storm on the glass-dome rooftop of Zomboss's lab.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">8.) While the two lock in combat on the rooftop of Zomboss's lab, other climatic problems are shown, like Mineski in a moving van chased by T-70 Giga-Gargs (GW type), trying to desperately hack a computer system vital to Zomboss (terminators would not be linked to this computer system, though), Cyphin against the Harbingers, your characters stuck in a situation that can result in their deaths & dangerous consequences for the world (maybe you should create a character exclusive to the RP, one that will make a sacrifice & die in Bucky's arms in the end), & Bucky engaging Zomboss himself (inside a Mark II prototype of the PvZ 1 Zombot)

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">9.) Just one question: since we have a Winter Soldier, where is our Captain America? No involvement in the story whatsoever?

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">10.) What would be a good title: "Terminator: The Winter Soldier" or "Terminator: Icy Salvation"? Well, practically, "Salvation" came from the 4th movie (which I hate) because the concept of T-Hybrids came from there. And just because it said "Terminator" doesn't mean that the main character/focus (Bucky) has to be one (in one RP, I have the title "Terminator III: Life of Bloomie", & Bloomie is a peaceful child meant to fulfill a key role, not a terminator). The "Terminator" part is usually just in there to notify the significance of the terminators (& the concepts related to them) in the plot.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">11.) Perhaps the time setting is more suitable if it is WAY before the current year of the RPs (2082), so maybe the WW2 era still fits? That way, we could also show Cyphin, still  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;font-weight:normal;">a normal living human,  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;line-height:15.75pt;">protecting Bucky (not realizing that he's protecting a zombie) for a short while before his future self paradoxically transforms him into a T-3000 via the computer glitch incident.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">BTW, I have plans for Family Day, soon after Ace puts the parents to sleep.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace, after putting everyone to sleep, chases the heirs. In another room (maybe the canteen), the T-3000 battles a T-1000 unit. Eventually, the T-3000 covers himself in yeast & phases through the T-1000 atom by atom, destroying the liquid potato.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Sporo II & Draken get chased through the air vents & corridors by the crazy shadow card/dagger throwing criminal, who succeeds in wounding Sporo Junior. Soon, they get cornered in a corridor…

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sporo II: We're trapped! *holds his mushroom stalk, for Ace has slashed open a wound there earlier*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace: Heh, expected of a spoiled brat & his stupid dog friend. HMPH! *back-hand slaps Sporo into the corner, causing his lip to bleed*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Draken: Raaar!

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace: Now, which one of these dumb-heads should I cleave in half first? Make thy decision carefully, son of a fungus! It may be thy last as king & as a living piece of meat *flips his hand, revealing a shadow card*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sporo II: *winces due to pain* Draken! RUN! He wants me more than he wants you! Go, escape, NOW!

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Draken: *crying* *sniff* RAAAR!!! (NO!!! I AM NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!!!) *sobs*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace: Whichever agreement the two of thee make, it matters not to me. Go on, cowardly dog, run as far as thy roots can carry thee. No matter where you run, I will dice thy sorry a** up too, & I will succeed of ridding the undeserving heirs of crumbling empires.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sporo II: *juice trickles from his mouth, he speaks weakly* Draken, please, run…

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace: I suggest that thee takes thy friend's suggestion. Perhaps thee can buy thyself a few more hours to live. But now, it's time to send thee to the inferno. Die, little one *laughs maniacally as he raises the shadow card*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Draken: *sob* RAAAR!!! (NOBODY TOUCHES MY FRIEND!!!) *runs full speed at Ace*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">(SHLING! Sporo watches in horror as Draken looks back at him & grins stupidly, his side a bloody pulp with a card in it. Draken gives a howl & falls to the ground)

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sporo II: NO!!! *cries* DRAKEN!!!

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ace: Foolish move. Now, both of thee shall be dead on the spot. Now, it is time for thy a**! *produces another shadow card*

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;line-height:15.75pt;">(Then an event happens where they are saved. After that, the parents awake, & Sporo, crying, rushes into the room, begging for anyone to do anything to revive Draken (who is not really dead). Everyone just mourns. But Violet's mom Marielle then cries on the boy & lets her tears heal the wound & revive Draken. Sporo II then grudgingly gives a "thank you" to the famous 80s singer-actress, but his mind's perception about "peasants" & his hatred for them began to change from that point on.)

1. Great plot. And Cyphin wouldn't join the Zombicide Squad, but he will sometimes aid them to battles (especially wben involving the Harbinger Twins).

2. Great plot as well. Also reminder that Cyphin is getting close to Germany as he is trying to ally with your Terminator and the Botanical Expendables. But before they know he was going to join sides, they had a fight.

3. Also great.

4. He already learned a few emotions but he can aquire more.

5.The Preservers are an affiliation of heroic, semi-pasifist, biologic, mortal superbeings whos original mission is to preserve time. But the Harbingers have their hearts corrupted by greed and wrath. They need to syphon Bucky's powers, not just to have their life extended, but to also aquire the crystals hidden power so they can destroy plantkind.

6. The Harbinger Twins can steal power from any superbeing, so probably they get that super EMP from one. But they didn't use it yet because they don't know Cyphin's weakness yet.

7. Good but, my ideal climatic setting is Zomboss' Kremlin (in Russia) where the Harbinger Twins hostaged the actual Stalin, Albert Einstein, and other WW2 icons in the structure protected by an inpenetratable kinetic barrier, AKA the 'Iron Curtain". The Kremlin is gone by the nickname "The Iron Fortress".
