Profile

Originally created as a self-monitoring security program for Dataspace and a survivor of the infamous Games, TRON has become the icon of resistance in The Grid against the darkness both within and without. He is friendly but cautious in more peaceful times, seldom letting his guard down even in casual conversation, and his lack of interaction with Users doesn't help. On the battlefield, his iron will and keen focus compliments his powerful attacks and solid defense. His sole wish is to secure a safer future for programs and Users alike, and he will drive towards that goal no matter where it takes him.

Stats

History

TRON was created by Alan Bradley, a computer programmer under the employ of ENCOM. Designed from the start to be a Security Program, his core programming revolved around a simple parameter: protect his sector of the Grid and its Programs from any threat from within or without; and quarantine or neutralize any threat detected.

He revered the Users as gods as most Programs do, but it did not take long to shatter such naivety. He saw what happened to Programs when Users damaged them--changes to personality, mental and physical instability, sometimes outright rampancy. And it was his responsibility to stop them, usually via deletion or 'deresolution'. At first, he thought it was just part of the job... until he noticed the Users would just create a new Program to replace the one he had gotten rid of. They were tools left to the whim of their programmers, who did not--could not--know what effect their mistakes had on their creations. Even TRON himself was subject to occasional code errors, improper modifications and the like. Fortunately, Alan-One (his own creator) was usually quick in amending such things.

During this timeframe, he met and began working alongside an administrative Program named Yori. She helped monitor the Grid, taking requests for help and transferring data to TRON if he needed it. They worked very well together, she the dispatcher he the police officer, and both had a particular fondness for each other that Users may call 'love'. It was also around this time that Master Control, often times called the MCP, was installed as System Administrator. All was well... for a time... but TRON kept getting this nagging feeling in his code that something wasn't right with the distant red beacon at the core of the system.

Everything changed one cycle. TRON was set to be User-promoted to full System Monitor, able to protect and enforce order throughout the whole Grid--even above the MCP itself. But the MCP acted before Alan-One did, taking over TRON's sector and arresting the Security Program for 'User belief' and 'subverting the Administrator's authority'. Instead of derezzing or assimilating TRON, the MCP instead handed him over to SARK and threw him into the Games.

TRON almost went rampant at first--separated from Yori and Alan-One, quarantined from the Grid, unable to fulfill his core function. In order to keep himself calm, he created his own personal form of resistance by way of a secondary parameter. Though he did not believe in the divinity of Users, he refused to deny their existence and would fight on in their name. It became a mantra by which he became known, his power and survival in the Games reaching legendary proportions to the Grid populace. He met RAM, a devout User-believer whose faith in their creators was unshaken despite the circumstances, and the cell-mates became fast friends. CROM, a data-pusher with a far more logical view of the Users' existence, was tossed in with them and continued to survive the Games despite TRON writing him off early on. TRON unknowingly used them as his support, living reminders of why he must keep fighting.

Then, one cycle, TRON heard a whisper--a voice he didn't recognize. This voice, this 'Flynn', hacked into his core and uploaded information, too much for his body to handle. His system crashed from the strain, and when he rebooted he found a strange white ring locked in his Disc, which acted like a Disc itself. Somehow, he knew what this meant, knew what to do--and taking CROM and RAM with him, he broke out of the Games and led all who would follow out with him. They organized, spread out, called others to his cause as a resistance against the tyranny of the MCP--

--only for the Darkness and the Heartless to invade.

They fought, everyone rallying together regardless of alliance to repel these strange beings, but it was a narrow if pyrrhic victory. RAM and CROM disappeared in the Darkness, many sectors fragmenting into nothingness, and TRON himself disappeared from public eye. He was still there, still fighting, still resisting, but he allowed rumors of his deresolution to prevail. It allowed him to follow the MCP's movements, evaluate the overall situation, and figure out how to end it. When the strange portal called 'Flynn's Arcade' suddenly appeared, TRON was initially uncertain what to make of it until Programs started to go through and not return--including the MCP itself.

TRON immediately slipped through the portal himself, intending to stop the MCP but finding himself in a whole new world instead. The User world of Manhattan was unlike anything he had ever seen, and he lost track of the MCP in his confusion. In fact, everything went downhill from there. The digitizing laser, the only way back home, was stolen. Manhattan itself fell to Darkness and he was shunted into Traverse Town. Now fully understanding what happens if the Darkness wins, he carefully evaluated the situation and came to a final decision to adapt to his situation:

Protect the world he is in and its inhabitants, wherever it may be, from threats both within and without. Fight for Users who cannot defend themselves, and fight with Users who stand against the Darkness.

Personality

• TRON's personality has two sides depending on the circumstances under which you happen to meet him. He can also switch between the two at the drop of a hat should circumstances change.
• If you meet him under social circumstances, he is as friendly as the next person. He laughs easily and seems to truly enjoy the peaceful moments, but he never fully drops his guard and there is sometimes a visible sadness in his eyes. He usually avoids talking about his past, where he comes from, or anything else that could be considered 'personal'.
• If you meet him in combat, he is all business. He doesn't usually make small talk to allies or adversaries, and his eyes glow when his whole focus is devoted to ending the fight as quickly as possible. The VERY keenly perceptive may realize he has 'locked away his heart' in order to fully focus on the task at hand.

Appearances

• Within The Grid: His appearance in the original TRON movie and Kingdom Hearts.
• Outside The Grid: He has three options, the scene determining his choice. He has been known to combine forms, such as activating his White Suit while still wearing human clothes.

1. Standard: The white suit from TRON:Uprising. This is his default form out of The Grid and his circuitry lines cannot be turned off.
2. Infiltration: The black suit from TRON:Evolution and TRON:Legacy. The 'helmet' may or may not be activated, and he can turn off the glowing circuitry lines at will. He may also have a voice synthesizer to further hide his identity.
3. User: Going by the alias 'Alan', he wears human clothing and glasses to mask the Program 'body-suit' unique to his race as much as possible. He is usually in Infiltration form with offline circuitry lines under the clothes unless otherwise stated.

• Examples:

• Also, it appears he has 'rescued' a Bit from CHIEF's tank-attack as of 1/20/13. It may show up at random in scenes in the future.

CROM	Comrade	"I thought you would not survive the Games, but you endured and escaped with me. Did the Darkness take you with RAM? Or do you still endure?"
Alan-One	Reverence	"My User, I need your guidance more than ever. But until we can reach each other, I will do everything I can."

Acquaintances

Name	Status	Thoughts
Kevin Flynn	Cautious	"Your help allowed me to escape The Games and finally make my stand against the MCP. I do not know whether I should thank you for it or be angry with you for hacking my code."
Deelel	Trust	"You were right about everything you've warned me about. You have fought in my place long enough, now it is my turn to fight in yours."
Faruja Senra	Uncertain	"You are a strange one. I'm not even sure if I can classify you as a User. But you aren't a bad person, not to my knowledge."
CADUCEUS	Developing Trust	"A medical Program who only wants to heal others. I believe he will fight with me, but time will tell if he has the heart to match."
Avira	Friendly	"The leader of VALKYRI, a User who has been through much and become stronger for it. I will help her cause however I can... but I hope I don't cause her more problems."
Maira	Friendly	"There is something about this User that puts me at ease. A warmth, a light--I cannot explain it. I only know she is an example of a User I fight for."
CAPGRAS	Confused	"I do not know how to classify her. She seeks a heart to complete herself, but she believes taking from others will piece it together for her. There has to be another way, but how can I prove her wrong?"

Enemies

Name	Status	Thoughts
LEXUS	Loathing	"Dangerous is not a strong enough word for this Virus. Currently the largest threat to both the Users and The Grid."
CHIEF	Wary	"A broken Program. His hatred of Users is understandable, after what his various Users did to him, but you cannot blame all Users for the actions of a select few. I do not want to count you as an enemy, but I see no other option if you continue your current path."
MCP	Anger/Frustration	"You took everything from me in The Grid, 'SARGON', and you used me for your own gain in the User world. Now circumstances keep forcing me to work with you for the sake of the Grid! Just what kind of game are you playing at, and why are you keeping me functioning?"
