i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

characters who were created to be used by the corporate dystopia

who succumbed to the brainwashing that taught them they were doing the right thing, were helping people, because they had no other way to be; they were denied personhood from the beginning, they existed to be helping, and could not fathom any alternative

characters who were then ripped from one dystopia into another, to serve a new violent purpose, alien to the first one they were made for

and adapted to that, as well– to fight with love and devotion beside their fellow prisoners and comrades-in-arms– because they know nothing but the need to help and serve and love someone

characters who followed their friends to the edge of death, and died with nothing in their last words but a plea for the friends to keep helping one another

the sacrificial Ram

that scene. with Ram and Flynn in the Recognizer. (cries)
