Character: Cameron
Fandom: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Character Notes:

History:
Cameron is an unknown but highly sophisticated model of the cyborgs of 2027, commonly referred to as Terminators for their main objective of hunting down and killing humans, though that isn’t their only objective. Such as in Cameron’s case. Cameron was created to be an infiltrator and disguise herself as a human to get into the human camps. This might suggest the different behavior Cameron has to other robots of her time.

In the year 2027 Cameron’s mission begins with the abduction of a very close friend of John Connor’s, Allison Young. Cameron questions the young woman on a number of things, most of them pertaining to her personal life. Allison is confused by the line of questioning, and tries to withhold information. Especially about a bracelet that she claims her sister gave her.

After trying to escape Allison is brought back to Cameron only to be shocked that the Terminator has taken on her appearance. Cameron then confronts her about the bracelets and how many prisoners had them. And then she realizes they were a key to get into the bunkers, and had she gone back to the bunkers without it they would have known she wasn’t Allison. She becomes angry with Allison for lying and ultimately kills her.

What happens after that moment is sketchy at best. How Cameron was discovered when trying to infiltrate the bunker is never fully revealed, or how John Connor turned her to their side. But in the end he did, and not only did he turn her but he trusted her. He spent hours of every day in her company, he told her things he never told anyone else. She was his closest friend, and had she the capacity to feel she would have loved him of that she was sure. Their close relationship, though, might suggest why she was trusted enough to send to the past to protect a young John Connor over a human.

But once sent back to 1999 Cameron takes her mission very seriously. She spends 73 days trying to hunt down the Connors, only to get lucky when John Connor transfers to a new school finally and she enrolls with him. She tries to get close to him, but his paranoid upbringing keeps him at a distance. But when he’s attacked by Cromartie, a terminator out for his blood, the next day Cameron is the one to save him, quoting the famous line ‘Come with me if you want to live’.

From then on Cameron stays close to the Connors and guards them with her life. Her stronger muscles and enhanced thinking patterns make her able to react quickly and fight off the Terminator enemy, even if they don’t fully defeat him that first night. And it is her quick thinking that leads them to a bank where Cameron had someone sent back to the past to set up a time capsule to take them 8 years into the future so that Sarah can complete her mission to stop SkyNet before Judgement day.

In the future Cameron enrolls at a local high school with John in an attempt to keep close and protect him. She’s used by the family for other missions, like scouting out people or something simple like shopping. But her primary objective is always John’s safety. She’s willing to kill anyone or anything that comprises his safety, and often has to be talked out of it. But sometimes she reacts without permission, all for John Connor’s safety.

Personality:
It’s really hard to give Cameron a true personality, as she has no feelings or emotions to react on. But even with those essential things missing, she still has a very unique behavior pattern that sets her out from the others of her kind.

First and foremost, Cameron is a machine. She is ruled by logical thought, and anything illogical is hard for her to understand on certain levels. She can understand the meanings but not the reasonings of human emotions, for example. Everything people say or do to her, though, is analyzed so that she calculates the proper thing to say in response. Also, as a machine she has no need of rest or sleep. She never sleep, only wanders around the house all night keeping watch.

The mission is the most important thing to Cameron. It is always top priority, and when they stray from the mission she doesn’t understand why. She goes along with whatever she must, though, ad helps the family with their personal side missions. But if it interferes with her ultimate objective of protecting John she won’t allow it. Sarah Connor has a personal desire never to kill anyone, but when she turns her back Cameron kills three men and says that they were a threat for knowing where they lived. However she allows Riley, John’s somewhat girlfriend, to come and go from the house assessing that she is not a threat. At least until John’s behavior becomes erratic and unpredictable and puts him in more danger. Then she is assessed as a threat and tells John to make her leave.

Outside of the main defining of a machine, Cameron has a unique ability to adapt almost. The longer she spends among the humans the more she sees and the more she learns on how to behave like them. Such as adopting the phrase ‘That’s tight’ to fit in at school, despite not always using it correctly.

This adaptation has allowed a lot of room for change in Cameron’s personality. As time goes on becomes less mechanical and more fluid in her reactions and movements to people. Almost like it’s natural to her. She has a preference in music and has no problem with picking things she likes to listen to.

Cameron has a natural curiosity of the world around her that helps lead to her adaptation. Her curiosity of the humans are what helped her develop her new catchphrase, it also lead her to dance. She was intrigued by their grace and beauty when she watched one woman dance and asked to be taught. She learned a little, but sadly allowed the woman to die once the right information was taken from her. But even Derek, John’s uncle who despises Cameron, is moved to tears when he sees her dance.

It’s unsure as to how much Cameron feels and how much she fakes. She smiles sometimes at things, and has even cried twice. One time when she cried it was unsure of whether it was a trick to kill John Connor when her chip broke, and another was during a malfunction of the chip. Losing her memory of who she was she reverted back to a learning state and even seemed to have emotions and feelings of her own.

Not only that but she seems to exhibit a sense of humor from time to time. When John claims ‘I call shotgun’ Cameron jokingly adds ‘I call 9 mm’. When questioned on the different behavioral patterns she even says ‘I fooled you’ to John. And despite not laughing, it is clear she’s trying to exhibit some form of humor in this behavior.

That is not the extent of her human behaviors. She doesn’t lie often, but when she does it’s almost obvious to see through. Her lies are a little too effective and precise, but it doesn’t stop her from trying to lie. Such as when she keeps John up all night talking and his mom asks if he’s still sleeping the next day she tells her it’s because teenager’s circadian rhythm is different from that of adults. Sarah catches the lie instantly and calls her out on it, but Cameron seems to show no remorse for being caught. Or offer an explanation as to why she did lie.

While driving along the highway Cameron holds her arm out the window and tries to feel the breeze. When asked why she was doing that she claimed she was trying to feel some sort of escape. John debates that she can’t feel, but she corrects him. She tells him she feels things and sensations and he doesn’t understand her as much as he thinks he does. This leaves him a little uneasy because she does change and adapt more than they realize and seems to have her own thoughts which shouldn’t occur in machines.

Despite her ever-adapting personality, Cameron remains the solid machine that she is. When on her missions she becomes a deadly weapon that can’t be stopped. But when she’s free a moment she observes the world around her and makes changes to fit those moments.

Other:
- Taken from Season One
- Her type of machine is still unknown to anyone but it’s clear that it’s not a normal type with her ability to eat and cry, things not seen in previous models
- Her catchphrases: ‘That’s tight.’ And ‘Thank you for explaining’.
- Her access to the community will be through her own programming so that it displays in her vision. It’ll pop up when it wants to bother her and use her own eyesight for any accidental videos it may want to make. But it won’t be a constant in her vision or interfere with her programming unless specific viruses hit.

First Person (entry type):

[Video]

[The video opens up on a young woman standing in front of a mirror on a dresser. She tilts her head to the side and seems to be looking at her reflection but not.]

My screen says recording. [She sounds confused by this now.]

DramaDramaDuck. I do not understand the reference of drama to ducks or why it is appearing in my sight. It is a distraction that doesn’t seem to be going away. It also says that it is recording…

If my chip is malfunctioning I will need to speak to John Connor before the damage becomes too excessive to be repaired. I cannot make the screen go away, nor can I seem to command when it starts and when it stops recording. If anyone sees this it could prove a threat.

[Her eyes seem to come back into focus as she looks at her reflection and waves her hand slowly.]

DramaDramaDuckians. If anyone can advise me as to how to make this page remove itself from my programming I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

[Finally the recording turns off now.]

Third Person:

They talk about her like she’s not there. Even though she stands ten feet away from them they talk like she’s not even there. Like she can’t hear or process what they say.

It’s true she has no real say in this family. She’s not their family and John isn’t her John. He isn’t the man that would confide in her in the past and trust her to keep his secrets. This John seems paranoid of her. Distrustful of her. He only views her as a machine and a tool, just like his mother. Though his mother seems more hostile than John does.

But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what they say about her or what they want to do with her. The fact remains that John Connor gave her a mission and he sent her back to complete that mission. And that was to protect his own life. Maybe that was why he made her unable to accept commands from the current John Connor like the previous models had had to endure. From the way they talked that could compromise her mission if they could just command her. And she would not fail her mission.

As she stares out the window a child rode past on a bicycle. A single child on this lonely street. It seems odd to her to see a child at play. Not because she thinks the child is a threat, but because children didn’t play like this back home. Her only view of children has been of them crying and begging for more food and preparing for war. This child was different. He was free. He was safe.

He stops outside their house. The one they just moved into. Cameron watches him as he watches her now, both curious about their new neighbors. He offers a smile and waves at her. And slowly Cameron mimics the greeting.
