Rinzler headcanons? (Leaving this open to gush about anything you want.)
Tumblr media
iā€™m gonna use this opportunity to talk abt rinzlerā€™s dynamic with the black guards/other occupation personnel and how security programs differ from other program types šŸ‘
despite primarily being isolated simply by the nature of his job and his general reputation, rinzler does semi regularly interact with other programs working under clu (much to his annoyance and their fear lmao). being cluā€™s right hand gives rinzler a considerable task list beyond being just cluā€™s bodyguard, being in the games, and hunting down cluā€™s enemies. he still does security work while also helping strategize troop movements when asked and generally making things run as smoothly as they can for any upcoming plans.
i say all that to mean that he isnā€™t exclusively a one man show all the time as much as heā€™d like to be. things between him and the programs in the occupation are very strained to put it nicely but thereā€™s an understanding there that if he needs you to do something he will tell you, and he doesnā€™t work with programs who arenā€™t higher ranking within their sector. if you arenā€™t the boss he has no business with you. the blackguards are a little different because dyson is the head of them and is usually stationed in argon, so the ones we see in legacy, (ESPECIALLY around clu) are guards hand picked by rinzler to be cluā€™s security team. they arenā€™t always around as rinzler is cluā€™s only full time guard and the only one allowed with him into certain areas tho
the fact that rinzler picks guards for specific assignments has lead to certain blackguards trying to directly interact with rinzler to try to get into his good graces which heā€¦..doesnā€™t appreciate. he is IMMUNE to flattery šŸ– it was more of an issue when rinzler was told he had to select a team of guards to go with him on certain security jobs because a bunch of programs wanted a spot but there was never any real chance for them tbh b/c by the time clu put his foot down on rinzler putting together team he already had programs in mind.
rinz ended up picking reeve nord and klax (trons team from uprising) as they were actually the only security programs in the candidates lists and already had skill sets he was looking for. he trained em extensively and now brings them with him when he needs (is required) to bring backup
the thing is abt security programs, esp for more specialized ones like rinzler and dyson, is that the way they connect to the system and the ppl around them is intrinsically different then other types of programs. ļæ¼rinzler is particular is noteworthy for having a very different connection to the grid, both because he was made by alan and because heā€™s from the encom system. itā€™s not that they are more connected to the grid ļæ¼and more that they are connected to an aspect of it that other programs arenā€™t, hince how they are able to scan for footsteps and preform deeper scans of both programs and environments at all. (i do think non security programs can scan each other, but itā€™s very very surface level in comparison) security programs can also track programs by code signature, but itā€™s a difficult process that also involves the security program already being familiar with who their trying to track
to a degree it also effects their senses, as shown by dyson being able to sus beck out in that one ep. i imagine both dyson and rinzler have very very good hearing, something thatā€™s both a blessing and a curse. for rinzler itā€™s main drawback is that heā€™s already a very light sleeper and being able to hear things that well when your trying to get some sleep means heā€™s constantly being woken up, which isnā€™t help by the other security protocols he has.
rinzler has security protocols that are unique to him (at least in some capacity) courtesy of his repurposing, flynn, and once again just by the nature of him being from a dif system. the main one and the one that other security programs also have to an extent is that heā€™s never truly fully offline, some part of his system is always running in the background and scanning for proximity alerts so he canā€™t be snuck up on when heā€™s asleep. rinzlerā€™s system is just a bit more hyperactive about it by the nature of him Being The Way He Is.
similarly to that if rinzler gets injured while out and about the same section of his system that preforms those scans is able to ā€˜take overā€™ and lead him back to clu via cluā€™s code signature for repair. if clu canā€™t be found for whatever reason itā€™ll default to the next program in his internal hierarchyļæ¼. itā€™s like sleepwalking more or less, with him going straight towards his destination and only pausing if someone comes close enough for him to need to defend himself. memories between him being injured to being reactivated are fuzzy at best, with rinzler not really being able to recall things because he wasnā€™t really online/aware during the trip. just as an example yk that scene in legacy where qurroa loses her arm and goes offline?? for rinzler it wouldnā€™t have been taken him out completely, as an aspect of his self preservation protocols he has regeneration (to a degree) that wouldā€™ve kept the wound from getting worse until he found clu/someone to repair him
