STOLEN MEME IS STOLEN
Meme stolen from degraine without remorse:
Ask anything you ever wanted (or not really sure you wanted) to know about any of my alts, past, present or future, be they currently played on a game (that exists or died) or not.

Really, it's a only a little bit of the former and a lot of the latter. Binary still believes in the cause--reploid freedom in it's various forms, complete equality, individuals who have committed crimes against the reploid people as a whole put on trial--but he's seen the ugly face of the world he's been forced to live in and lost faith. He also didn't like the way the Irregulars were going when Lumine started clawing his way back into power with the former Mavericks, which is what prompted him to assist the ADF along with the promise of a new life. They needed to be stopped before Lumine inherited the power structure that Epsilon had built, and he did what he had to do. It doesn't help that he feels betrayed by them for lying to him (the Mavericks claiming to be the Good Guys way back when he was first rezzed, that sort of thing). Then throw on living through Ragnarok, helping resurrect Hitler, finding out you had (have?) a bomb in your brain, and, well, you have a recipe for a more paranoid and embittered individual. He tries to cover it up by goofing off and pranking people, but he knows he has to be prepared, both for the conspiracies in the shadows and for the numerous terrible things that seem to inevitably befall Earth in the 23rd century.
Jeremy likes Scarface. He thinks that Scarface is kind of an idealist and maybe a little childlike in his beliefs and apparent optimism (and laughed when he declared himself emperor of reploidkind, though understood the 'why'), but knows that it's served him well in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future. He's watching out for him, though; Scarface is a Hunter now, and even if Jeremy doesn't think that he would come after him, stranger things have happened.
His broader outlook on life is pretty easily summed up, though not completely: "Do good to make up for the bad; do whatever it takes to stop the really bad." This is a pretty recent thing; initially, it was more about learning everything he could about the world and things in it, but the more and more he figured out, the more he realized that it really was not a nice place. Siren's tutelage kind of helped that; she told him about the conspiracies that were out there, warning him and causing him to look into them a little too closely. He's hurt way too many people for his liking, hates the idea of killing, and is driven mostly by a desire to prevent people from continuing the cycle of violence without being above causing some himself. That's one of the things that made him surrender to the ADF; he accidentally shot up a row of apartments on the water, and he still hates himself for it. Much of his world view was shaped by his desire to forgive himself, be forgiven by the people he's wronged, and have a place in this bizarre time. It's a sad thing that he thinks he won't ever get it.
I got kinda wordy. Whoop.

Which must sound surprising considering how it ended. But the people just meshed well OOCly, the players were brave enough to follow me on my journey and we knitted it all together into something pretty special.
I wouldn't worry about Scarface coming after Jeremy. Scarface has a vivid imagination and like all my characters they can guess quite a bit. Which isn't something I apologize for. Very few people understood Epsilon's will and motivations like Scarface, and in some ways Scarface is still learning about his mentor.

OOCly, I'm pretty sure Scarface wouldn't. ICly, Jeremy is kind of paranoid (thank you Jav's alts as a whole). You never know...
