Player's Name: Karra
Are you over 16? I am 34
Characters Played Here: None!
Character: Allison Young
Series/Canon: Terminator
From When? Well, before she gets terminated, I guess. Lets say from when she was running through the maze of human/lion/bear cages and jumped off a ship. Before she's replaced by Cameron Phillips.
History:
So. Technically, there are two versions of Allison. The first from when John Connor was the leader of the resistance, and the second from when he wasn't because John Connor frog-leaped over his own future. The one that I'm going with is the first version.
Allison's parents are Claire and David Young from Palmdale, and she was born on July 22nd 2008. Allison's mother was a music teacher, and her father was an architect that taught her how to draw. Her last birthday, before the war began, was in Griffith Park. All of her friends were there, and her father promised her a silver mountain bike on her next birthday.
But she didn't celebrate her birthday the next year (2011), because both of her parents and two-thirds of the world were wiped out in the fire of Judgement Day. The show is not exactly clear on how a 3 year old girl survived Judgement Day alone, but there is a sort of implication that Derek and Kyle Reese might have picked her up at some point in the ruins of Griffith Park. Given Derek Reese's reactions to the Terminator that has her appearance, it is very likely that they were all close.
Allison spent most of her time living in Resistance bunkers and eating "garbage" for dinner. At some point, she became close to John Connor. She's given a bracelet that only people close to Connor receive, and access to his top secret bunker. It's implied that they were sleeping together at some point, and this relationship was exploited by Skynet when it had machines capture her in an attempt to replace her with a machine that for the most part did succeed. Their relationship is no doubt why John chose to communicate mostly with the reprogrammed Cameron Phillips, who replaced her.

Personality:
Allison is stubborn. Ha ha. There's more to it than that, obviously. Behind it. 19 years of living through a war, through machines, through fighting in the resistance. Being as stubborn as her mother was, and not letting the people she loves and cares about get away with letting themselves get hurt or letting themselves get killed. Protecting them, because she can and she wants to. To being stubborn enough, strong enough to face a machine down, a machine that looks exactly like her or maybe does not and not tell it a damn thing. It wants to hear from her.
But, she's easily provoked. Into fighting. Into being frightened. Into self-sacrifice. Her sense of self-preservation is fairly low, maybe as a result of being the only one in her family to survive Judgement Day. Most definetly as a result of that. She will run if given the chance to escape from something. Of course she will. But if the same opportunity presented it's self to her when she had a chance to save Derek Reese or Kyle Reese or John Connor? Not so much.
She’s clearly a smart girl, she’s able to outwit metal for a time and she has a long memory. Hell, the girl remembers her second birthday, though that could also be because her third came along right after Judgement Day.
Why do you think your character would work in this setting?
Allison is pretty good at adaptating, she'd pretty much have to be. For a three year old girl to survive Judgement Day and live a good 16 more years would be pretty impressive. She adapted from the modern world to what is basically an apocalyptic hell-space. She could certainly adapt to a new world entirely.
Inventory:
Boots, the clothes on her back and a silver bracelet. She doesn't have much.
Samples: And now for the hard part! If you need a prompt for your samples, refer back to the Applications Page.
Third-Person Sample:
They talked a lot, Allison and Connor. They talked about how alone she felt without her family, how she was starting to forget what they were like. They talked about how lonely it was just being John Connor. Growing up knowing what he'd known, and not being able to do a thing to save anyone, to stop Skynet, to stop the war. They talked about what it was like to grow up before the war, and he knew a lot more about that than she did. He could tell her all about the things she barely remembered. He could tell her about Griffith Park, remind her about everything there.
She taught him about Chopin and when they had paper that didn’t need to be used for maps or blueprints, she would draw for him. Bicycles, animals, Kyle and Derek. Machines, sometimes, but rarely. Very rarely.
And he told her about the people he'd known in the brief periods where he hadn't been on the run. Sometimes they were even stories about people she knew, and that was strange and interesting. They talked about machines, metal, computers. Math and physics. Things she liked to do on the rare occasions she had free time and he wasn't around, books that he'd read and places that he'd gone. Books her mother had read her that she hadn’t seen in years or couldn’t remember the endings of.
The Wizard of Oz, which made him laugh for reasons she didn’t quite get.
There were things they never, ever talked about. People. He never talked about his mother, she never talked about her sister. Neither of them brought up Kate Connor or how strange it was that Kyle looked so much like him more and more.
They talked when they were in bed, her legs curled up and head on the pillow beside his. Touching. Watching. Listening. Tactile bonding, he called it, when he'd been spending too much time around his metal.
She could already see the lack of trust people were starting to have with him based on that particular quirk. Not that they talked about that either. She didn't really know how to bring it up.
But she did know that she needed him as much as she was sure he needed her. Because she was lonely too.
