Personality: Epsilon is one of the main characters (as of season 7) in Red vs Blue, a comedy about space marines. He happens be a fragment of the Alpha A.I., also known as Church. Though they share personalities, Epsilon does stand apart from the original with traits of his own which manifest in a variety of ways.
Originally when Epsilon appears as a character in Recreation, he is shown to not really have a personality of his own at first. Instead, he takes on the forms of one of the other AI fragments, Delta, to communicate with Caboose to relay information about where they can attain a form for him. When he is implanted in the artifact in the desert, he assumes the personality of the original Church, though none of the memories remained. His ‘memories’ were instead stories incorrectly told by Caboose until he regains all of his memories later on when traveling with Carolina. As each ‘memory’ is revealed, more quirks appear in his personality.
Epsilon is an angry person, which can manifest in verbal or failed physical ways. When things irritate him, such as when he’s trying to monologue inside the containment unit he’s trapped in, he snaps at Tucker, since he was the source. When still without a proper body, the team finds out that when angered, Epsilon was able to use a laser beam, so Grif, Sarge, and Simmons try their best to make him mad as the Meta and Washington chase after them. Caboose is the one who bears the most brunt of Epsilon’s temper, since most of the things that come out of Caboose’s mouth are nonsensical to the degree where Epsilon can’t help but snap. Being called ‘best friend’ by Caboose tends to be a common trigger. There is also no member of either the Blue, Red, or the Freelancers that hasn’t been completely cussed out at one point or another by Epsilon as well.
An ego follows as another thing that makes Epsilon stand out even more from the original Alpha AI. When he first arrives in the desert with Caboose, he relishes in the fact that he is being worshiped by the aliens there, even making up a song about how great he is as they do. He also finds it great that he has a laser beam in his unit when they make it go off the first time on accident, bragging about it though he really has no control of it. These two things feed directly into his thinking that he’s all that and a bag of chips compared to other people. Epsilon’s monologue at the beginning of the arc where he is first trapped in the memory unit shows how high his sense of self-importance is.
Since being an AI, he has a pretty high intelligence and analytical skills. Unfortunately, coupled with his aforementioned temper, it doesn’t always come through. There seems to be at times a complete lack of common sense as well as sometimes the obvious solutions escape him, as when they are forced to fight an army of Tex AI controlled bots. Washington is the one who reminds him of what Epsilon can do to cut this battle short, something that had escaped the AI fragment at the time. He can see things other people can’t in situations, such as when the fake world he’s trapped in inside the containment unit is failing instead of it being destroyed by an earthquake as Sarge had claimed. With his being a different fragment from the other AI’s, Epsilon is capable of high levels of introspection. He is more than aware of what he actually is, and what the Alpha was lacking, such as when he realizes that the only reason the Alpha was the way it was is because of Tex.
Remorse is something only Epsilon has been really shown to have compared to the other fragments. He genuinely feels bad when he yells at his friends when he wanted to impose his will on them to find the director and eliminate him. Epsilon realized that as soon as even Caboose left him that he had done something very wrong. He does his best to apologize to them and letting them know just how much of a jerk he was, showing how much more human he can be. Despite asking for forgiveness, he is not the type to easily forget those who have wronged him. Carolina is the one in the end encouraging him to do just that so he could move on and become a better person. Epsilon does feel sadness at the end of season 10 when he decides to leave his friends behind in their new home instead of joining them. This decision was seen as hard for him, the last thing he leaves with his friends was a sniper rifle (which may or may not have ever been found or even thought of.)
There is a hint of what one could call happiness in his programming. Those moments are short lived as something always interrupts it, such as whenever Caboose talks. He shows briefly that he is happy when he meets up with Tex again, which she destroys by trying to kill him as she seems to do when she’s around him.
Epsilon is a mess of personalities. Yes, there is loyalty to his friends and the need to help mixed in there, but deep down inside he might just be a pissed off old man trapped in the body of something that will never die or age unless he’s erased from the world.
Strengths:
Leadership – The ability to make sound decisions for his team, even if they don’t listen to them either at all or not until it’s too late. This shows that even though he really hates it, he does take somewhat seriously sometimes since he’s the one who decided to be the leader. No one else wanted to take the job, and someone had to!
Memory – Despite a hiccup when he accidentally erased his short term memory when he was inside of an artifact, Epsilon retains everything he’s been told. Being an AI unit made him capable of downloading and storing vast amounts of information that he can call upon at a moment’s notice. (As long as the memory is there for him to access)
Voice of Reason – Though largely ignored just like his leadership, when things don’t make sense or seem too extreme, he’s quick to point out in a condescending way that maybe they should think of something else.
Body Jumping – He’s an AI. Meaning that if someone has an open AI slot in their armor, he can jump from one person to the next as long as they have an open radio signal open. This means that he can interact with a large number of people, but is still capable of maintaining secrecy in these conversations since no one can force him to reveal what he knows. This becomes vital when Tucker wants to know if Carolina is a spy without her finding out.
Weaknesses:
Temper – Prone to bursts of cursing, yelling, and just being a grumpy asshole. He’s not the type for physical violence when pushed, and even if he was, this guy has no luck and will either miss or somehow get himself hurt even if he tried.
Monologue – Epsilon has an awful habit of introspection that seem like a waste of time to those around him. He does this out loud, too, where everyone can hear him in his apparent pursuit of philosophical conversation. It’s not apparent if this is due to boredom or him just being a general smug bastard.
Lazy – If he doesn’t give a damn about something, don’t expect him to do anything. He is more than happy to just stand there and watch other people do work, or just… you know, stand there beside them and not do work with them. It can be quite hard to get him motivated unless you’ve got the right trigger or reward for him.
Lack of patience – This guy is awful at waiting for things. The first to rush people, he will quickly become an annoyance when he thinks the task shouldn’t take as long as it should. Even if it is a task that requires patience and calm.
