User blog:The Ancient Pult Ancestor/RP Characters: The Terminators

'''WARNING: EXTREMELY LONG, ALMOST THREE TIMES LONGER THAN THE TIME IT TAKES TO DEFEAT THE PvZ 1 ZOMBOSS! (but that ain't to bad) '''

''Note:  If you aren't part of our RPs, you would never get this (even if you are, I bet you would be confused a hell lot), so don't accuse me of putting non-PvZ s*** on this wiki, nor accuse me of being an idiot or something. And no, this isn't about the real terminator franchise made by James Cameron (there, I credited him already, ok?). Rather, this is something based off of that franchise & blended in with PvZ elements. ''

Terminators are a bunch of artificial beings created to be super soldiers, infiltrators, assassins, & even protectors. These cybernetic organisms (cyborgs) are nowhere near the s***ty low-quality future  mechs that can be disabled by electromagnetic pulses, but are rather high-end advanced androids meant to pass off as normal people. They are far more powerful than electro-hydraulic servomechanisms, giving them super strength. Moreover, all terminators share the ability to take a voice sample & copy it to fool people, as well as the ability to time travel, doing a "time displacing technique" by generating a ball of electricity.

Almost all terminators (except, to some extent, the advanced versions, T-900 & above) cannot feel fatigue nor pain nor fear nor remorse, & they are always determined to fulfill their missions, without even regarding their own welfare. These killing machines can all be distinguished due to the fact that they do not bleed when cut (T-888s, T-900s, &  T-950's can bleed a bit though, & T-1000s & more advanced models can pretend to bleed), & they experience little or no emotions at all (the T-900s can feel much more emotions though, but it may be faking it), although blending with society can make a terminator learn how to be more like a normal plant or zombie (for example, Carrie taught Pops cult phrases like "No problemo", "F*** you a**hole", & most notably, "Hasta la vista, baby!"…"I'll be back" was one of The Terminator's original lines though…) =='''Production '''== Terminators (from T-70 to T-950) are created by Zomboss when he makes CPUs in the form of cybernetic seeds (cybernetic brains in the case of zombies). When planted into something for some time, the "CPU" will proceed to make itself a ceramic titanium hyperalloy endoskeleton (in the case of plants, instead of developing a resilient endoskeleton, they will develop a resilient inner peeling of the same material). Next, the endoskeleton/inner skin will make itself out of the surroundings (so if a cyber seed/brain is left to activate in the cold, it will end up being an ice-based terminator or something like that)…

T-1000s are made differently. Zomboss creates a vat of liquid potatoes & painstakingly programs every single atom via computer.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-3000s are created when a T-3000 or T-5000 decides to transform a non-terminator (this would not affect terminators) into a terminator by will with one touch. The chance of success is 1%. As for the remaining 99%, that is the chance for the victim to go insane, get horribly deformed, or die.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-Xs are simply T-950s covered in polymimetic tater (the same liquid potato shapeshifting substance that makes up T-1000s). =='''<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Model '''== <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Terminators need to have an appearance of some sort, so their tissue sheaths (or outer peels in the case of plants) are based off of those of other people. Many terminators can share the same model type, so don't be surprised if some terminators look identical in terms of appearance & voice (but not memories). The most common model used is Model 101, which was taken from the scanned features (appearance, voice, & all) of a hulky German Pepper-pult by the name of Dieter Von Rossbach. The most notable user of this model is The Terminator. Another common model is Model 665, the Kassandros Pyrrhus template, The Obliterator being a notable example, so technically, the guy The Terminator is facing isn't Kassandros anymore, but a Model 665 with a slight hint of Kassandros's personality.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-1000s, despite being able to copy anyone (except other terminators), still need a model for their default appearance & voice, the most used template being that of an unknown cactus police. The same goes for the highly advanced T-X, which takes the form of a hot lady like a Sunflower or something.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-3000s don't need a model, since their default form is their old selves prior to being turned into T-3000s.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">(Note: The next paragraph is applicable for T-900s only)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sometimes, models are custom-made to replace certain people. For example, a T-900 got an outer sheath & voice resembling that of Ewen Myers, Carrie's husband, so that he can terminate (typically, the subject copied is terminated, because an infiltration can't go well when the original is still around) & replace him, therefore infiltrating the army of Carrie & knowing her secrets (fortunately, Myers survived the assault of his doppelganger & dispatched of him). For this reason, T-900s have a software installed in their CPUs for them to act more like normal plants/zombies, as well as the memories of the copied subject for infiltration purposes, though this presents a flaw: sometimes, these memories override a terminator & make it believe that it is really the person it is copying, causing negative consequences. =='''<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reprogramming '''== <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">For terminators, there is no good or bad, since they are cyborgs. For them, despite having a hell lot of data in their seeds/brains (CPUs), enough to rival the internet, their decisions only revolve around the programmed codes of "terminate" &/or "protect". Their decision making on who to terminate/protect can be changed, however, via reprogramming.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is very hard to destroy a terminator's CPU, since it is as resilient as the body & has a regenerative factor. It is also hard to take it out of the terminator, given their complex anatomy & the fact that, of course, they will put on a hell of a fight. However, when you do manage to pull out a terminator's CPU, it will deactivate. Instead of destroying the CPU, it is best to reprogram it via supercomputer.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another way is to hope that a terminator gains self-awareness, & therefore, be able to make its own decisions, following or disobeying their programmed duties at will. Self-awareness can only occur in terminators equal to or more advanced than T-800s.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">One example of a reprogrammed terminator is The Terminator, who the Far Future Dave stole from a terminator factory set up by Zomboss in a prehistoric volcano 150 million years ago. Since it is hard to reprogram several terminators, Dave put every single mission he can think of in his CPU, including the termination of every "bad" zombie encountered, & the securing of the survival of over 70 "destined ones" in the future, among them, Violet, Stina, Bloomie, & their friends. The same goes for Fairy27's terminator Agendave, who was reprogrammed & made to protect Primula because of some key role she will play in the future.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-888s  have three "CPUs" (seeds for plants, brains for zombies), so reprogramming them is thrice as hard.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-1000s can be reprogrammed, but you have to program it the same way as Zomboss does - render the liquid potato inert, put it in some vat, & reprogram every atom.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-3000s cannot be reprogrammed. For that matter, people converted into T-3000s cannot be reverted back to normal, which means you really have to destroy them. However, a T-3000, like all terminators after the T-700, can gain self-awareness, which is the only possible way they might become "good" (that is, if they choose to protect the protagonists & fight the antagonists).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-X's can reprogram any terminator (save for the T-1000, T-3000, T-5000, & other T-Xs) by injecting a virus program into their systems.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reboots (either caused by self or by heavy damage) can erase the reprogramming of a terminator & revert it to its original settings.'''  ==<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Types '''== <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note: If the terminator type is a link, it means that it can only be of that type of plant/zombie, & nothing else (e.g., the T-1's only form is a saucer, while T-1000s can only be Imitators)

Hunter-Killer T - 1
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The hunter-killers are the most primitive terminators, simply flying around & shooting plasma bolts, following enemy targets. They can be dispatched with light plasma weaponry.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 70
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Very bulky & clumsy, 7-15 foot giants, they can obviously be distinguished as terminators, & thus can be dispatched very quickly. Usually, they are also a bit too primitive in nature; although born with much knowledge about fighting & assassinating like all the later types of terminators, they are unable to learn anything new, so their experience in something means nothing. Being among the first humanoid terminators, they lack sufficient endurance to resist strong attacks; anything stronger than the giant plasma ball of a Citron (shot when boosted) can destroy them. They are most adept with the minigun. Note that not all T-70s are Gargs, Stumps, or Torchwoods, & vice versa (Gargs, Stumps, & Torchwoods can be terminators, but not necessarily T-70s).

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 400
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">7 feet tall, they are still crippled by their inability to learn. Although around ten times stronger & durable than the T - 70s, they can still be taken out by powerful conventional weapons. The best way to destroy them is by either beheading them or crushing them under approximately 300 tons of force, so you're gonna need to deal something more severe than several melons raining down from the sky. They are still too obviously inhuman (or rather, inplantian, or inzombian, or whatever, you get the point…) for infiltration purposes, so they, like the previous terminators, are much more suited as super soldiers on the open field.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T -500
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">These are just a bunch of T - 400s that are sleeker, faster, & can withstand more damage. However, they do have one defining edge over the previous terminators: the ability to learn, thus they can correct previous mistakes (they can learn their lesson) they made & be able to counter them efficiently. This trait eventually carried on to the later terminators.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 600
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">At least 6 feet tall, these guys are already quite indistinguishable from other plants/zombies…except for the fact that their tissue skin/outer peeling is made of fake materials rather than biological cells (examples include zombies with rubber skin or plants with fabric peelings)….Nevertheless, they are the first terminators (albeit crude ones) that can go on missions that involve deception & infiltration. However, they are still very weak to very powerful attacks, especially if those attacks involve heavy plasma weaponry. The most common model of these hulks is that of an unknown Octo Zombie.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 700
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">These are T-600s that are more resistant to plasma weaponry. At best, very powerful weapons can disable them for a short period of time. It is getting quite too hard - & dangerous - to cut off their limbs or heads already. Vortex, JungleStalker's terminator, is a T-700, & so is Agendave, Fairy27's terminator.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 800
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The most common terminators in the present, the T-800 are sleeker than the previous versions, although they are still very bulky, heavy, & imposing. Aside from that, their tissue sheath/outer peeling is now made of real biological materials than synthetic ones. However, they are far more stronger (able to karate chop other terminators in half with no effort (see, terminators can do jobs even with just one hand)), & they no longer experience getting disabled by plasma weaponry, unlike the 700 series (at best, they can only be knocked back by a tiny little bit, or not get pushed back at all). They are also the first terminators to be able to heal over time, recovering from damage such as gunshots & stabbing/slashing within an hour or so, though regaining lost limbs (by slashing/melting) usually takes two weeks (but, unless the guy delivering the force is another T-800 or a more advanced terminator, do not expect to even be able to scratch their skin a little bit). The main weakness of T-800s is acid (there are some special exceptions, like Dynamo Jack, who are energized by acid), although usually, it takes an hour of immersion in concentrated hydrochloric acid to dissolve a T-800 completely. Usually, blasting & melting a T-800's head with concentrated acid sprays is enough to render it "dead"

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 850
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stronger, more muscular versions of the T-800 (known as T-850s) can shrug such attacks off & only suffer minor burns at a time, not to mention the fact that these damages heal quickly overtime.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are so far six major T-850 characters: The (titular) Terminator, The Obliterator, Dynamo Jack, The Berserker, The Krakatoan (strange name for a guy who was born from Mount Vesuvius), & Professor Marsh Owens.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for The Terminator & The Obliterator, they can recover lost limbs (& even their heads) in seconds because of the angel/demon living within them, making them far more powerful than the average T-850.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 888
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are also these guys  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">(known as triple eights or trip-eights), not as bulky, & they are the first terminators that aren't necessarily hunky or huge. Some can even appear as 4'10" teenage girls…And, as their name suggests, they have 3 CPUs as opposed to one, so it is thrice as difficult to reprogram them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">A vat of holy (yeah, I really meant sanctified, as in blessed)  liquefied plant food can accidentally "upgrade" a T-800, not only in terms of raw power, but it also allows them to change their hands into any weapon they have touched, or have  their default weapon go on another type of weapon mode, making them more advanced than T-1000s or T-3000s. But only one example of that happened so far, so it may just have been a matter of luck (& no, I'm not having other terminators undergo this process).

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 900
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">These are not so muscular, but are sleeker, & therefore speedier, than T-800s, which are the heavy arms-type of guys. The T-900s represented a sudden change in terminators, for they are no longer bulky. <span style="font-weight:normal;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Despite the advanced powers of a T-900, they are actually considered inferior to the T-850, a type considered obsolete in the future. An example of a T-900 is  Cameron Phillips, a T-900 TOK715<span style="font-weight:normal;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">.

<span style="font-weight:normal;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 950
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">An even more sleeker & powerful version is the T-950, which is tougher, & has hands that can change into a wide range of weaponry, from tasers to plasma cannons to flamethrowers (no sanctified plant food is involved here).

T -1000
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">All T-1000s are all practically the same: an Imitater that seems to be more of a liquid, as opposed to the solid Imitaters. No T-1000 is not an Imitater, & no Imitater can be any other terminator except a T-1000. They are all identical experiments by Zomboss in the future. They are very soft, however, unlike the previous, bulky terminators, given their polymimetic (shapeshifting liquid potato) composition, so although they recover instantly, very strong forces like shotgun blasts will either rip through them & push them back/split them apart, making it a good means of delaying them, since it's harder to recover when you're pushed back/blasted to bits (the bits still reassemble themselves together at a speedy rate though). They are polymimetic taters, able to copy anyone it touches (& typically, the subject copied is terminated), &, like chameleons, they can also replicate their surroundings. Given their liquid nature, they can go through narrow openings, flatten themselves, & morph their arms into blades/hooks, but not guns. Additionally, they can split a small part of themselves to serve as a tracking device or as an independent sub-unit. Because of the power of a T-1000 & its ability to gain self-awareness due to the lack of a CPU, Zomboss limited the production of the T-1000.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 3000
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">How Zomboss created the first T-3000 is unknown, but it's either the subject went insane &/or died due to the experiment, however, when the experiment finally yielded success, the advanced android was new, every atom in his body turned into electromagnetic pixels, granting him all the abilities of a T-1000, with the additional ability to turn into pixelated mist & phase through solid materials with no openings, increase their own mass to appear much more muscular & formidable, & even turn non-terminators at will into T-3000s just with a touch (however, only 1% of subjects survive to be T-3000s). However, since they aren't made of starchy potato s***, they are immune to yeast, & practically, it grants them more resistance than any other terminator before. However, since their pixelated atoms are electromagnetic, very strong, opposing electromagnetic forces can negate them & prove them inert, eventually rendering them as lifeless pixels & tearing them apart; in short, that is how to terminate a T-3000. Such a thing is very hard to pull off. One example of a T-3000 is Leovergel Solamo's Cyphin Mineski.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T - 5000
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">???...Only one confirmed ability…It can transform non-terminators into T-3000s at will in just one touch (but there is a 99% chance of failure, as with the T-3000).

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T -X
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not counting the T-5000, this is the most advanced terminator out there. Zomboss only produced one of these out of his crazy belief that his own invention can turn against him. Consider it a fusion of a T-950 & a T-1000, since they have mimetic polytater over a T-950 endoskeleton. Known as an "anti-terminator terminator", the T-X is even able to reprogram & "enslave" other terminators by injecting a virus into them, taking over their body & controlling them against their will. The effect will only wear off when the infected terminator uses his total mind power & "reboots" (at which point they are locked up in their positions, frozen (not literally)), during which their body will dissolve the foreign program. When Carrie asked "Pops", her guardian terminator, "Can it be destroyed?", The Terminator simply replied "Unknown".

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">T-Hybrid
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The "pseudo-terminator" or "gray man", this light terminator is originally a non-terminator who donates his body over to Zomboss (or sometimes he forces them to XD). Zomboss would then fashion a light steel (not titanium hyperalloy) endoskeleton for them (or an inner peeling in the case of plants) &, & attach a chip onto the brain/seed of the donor, which can sometimes allow Zomboss to see/hear/smell what the hybrid smells or even control them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since they are still considered 90% biological (no biological part but the inner peeling/skeleton is removed), they still need to eat & sleep like normal people. Additionally, they can feel emotions & pain, & their brains/seeds cannot regenerate, so shooting them in the head will kill them. Since they are the terminators that seem most normal, they are the best infiltrators. However, since they are already self-aware ever since the beginning, they can rip the chip Zomboss implanted into their heads (though Zomboss will probably try to control them before they do so), & be a free "terminator"…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why pseudo-terminator? Because for those who know terminators, they cannot really be considered terminators; they will only be acknowledged as normal cyborgs. Just because you have metal under your skin doesn't mean you are a terminator! So technically, T-Hybrids aren't terminators. =='''<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other '''== <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Terminators (T-70s to T-888s, except for the light T - Hybrids) cannot swim, given their densities. They can, however, walk on the seabed or swimming pool floor & haul itself up. If they have jetpacks, then that would be a better way to propel themselves in water.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">So far, only Zomboss is able make terminators. The only way for Dave to gain one is to steal & reprogram one (so far, he is the only one who has the knowledge about terminator reprogramming), or wish that a terminator gains self-awareness & fight for the right people.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Predator Flowers are trying to find out how to make one, but the only success they got is in making T-1s. Other than that, they are really unable to make other terminators. No Yautja in his/her right mind would dare hunt a terminator, because he/she would end up getting sensed by the cyborg no matter what, & he/she, despite having brute super-strength, can never hope to overpower such a perfect killing machine.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides, since terminators are cyborgs, technically non-living beings, they aren't really on the Predators' "worthy prey" list.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some terminators like The Terminator, on the other hand, have been programmed to terminate Predator Flowers, a mission they usually accomplish with success, given their reputation as tanks that not even the Yautja race's advanced plasma weaponry can take down.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The facehuggers (Xenospikeweeds) of Xenomorph XX121 (Xenochompers, simply known as Aliens) do not attempt to impregnate terminators, since they need biological beings to gestate in, & besides, cyborgs don't feel any form of sickness (unless you consider viruses), including the cancer needed to bring a Xenomorph embryo into being within someone. And since they detect things with signs only living or undead beings exhibit, terminators cannot be detected, that is, unless they move, since Xenochompers detect moving things, living or non-living. They will, however, attack terminators if they prove to be a threat to their hive (not unusual, since it may be their programmed mission to terminate Xenochompers).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, only 1% of everyone in the RP universe knows that there exists such a thing as a terminator, so if people ask "What the hell is a terminator?" or "How come he won't die? I already lobbed mega melons on him & sniped him in the head many times over!", or if you see police shoot stupidly at an unstoppable tank of a plant/zombie, you can't blame them.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Notes from me (IMPORTANT)
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am allowing people to make, at most, two terminators (they must ask first). However, that means I can be allowed partial control of their terminator without having to ask permission. Also, the greatest terminator one could make is a T-888, & nothing better (therefore, the character's personality should be blank, emotionless, & robotic, since making a T-900 & more advanced terminators is banned for the rest of you guys). But for some guys, I did make some exceptions. I allowed Leo to have the first T-3000 in our RPs. Well, I can allow only one more guy, DatDramaPlant, to have a reprogrammed T-1000, & I can make him one right now (What programming do you want DDP, male or female? And although an Imitater as with all T-1000s, what would you want his/her default appearance (model) to be?)
