CR chart: ilpromenade (in progress)
currently mid-edit; attempting to update to just past de-aging event.
CR Chart: ilpromenade● [ threat ] - 1 is a noncombatant, 2 someone with basic competence, 3 a good challenge, 4 a match for him, and 5 is someone he thinks he'd actually lose to. Don't be offended; Rinzler assumes combat superiority unless very thoroughly proven otherwise.
● [ value ] - Actual like or dislike for someone, in more than a combat sense. Rinzler doesn't exactly know what this is, so it's rare for anyone to get anything positive. 1 or 2 means deep hatred, he'll take any chance or excuse to do harm. 4 or 5 indicates Rinzler actually cares, as much as he's capable-he'll fight his own directives to avoid harming you. 3 is standard sub-standard apathy.

Quorra
Rinzler's first (clear) memories of Quorra are as the interloper on the lightcycle grid helping user: Sam_Flynn escape. Since coming to ilpromenade, she's been his primary target-the only one of the trio Clu told him to find to show herself openly here. While he respects her as a skilled combatant, he's never doubted he could defeat her.
While he was originally hunting her just as a matter of command, Rinzler's acquired some serious personal resentment against Quorra. She’s landed him in the Unnatural, referred to Basics as lesser, and Rinzler specifically as Clu’s pet. And worst of all, Quorra’s other claims were recently proven-that he used to be more. Rinzler wants to hurt her for that. He wants to destroy her. But mostly? He just wants her gone.

Sam_Flynn
Encountering user: Sam_Flynn on the Game Grid kickstarted a lot of Rinzler's current conflicts. While he doesn't consider the other a significant threat in combat, Rinzler recognizes his unpredictability and potential to cause problems.
Sam_Flynn was also one of the targets Clu sent him after-and after going after Quorra, Rinzler did his best to hunt the user down. The resulting confrontation ended in injury, imprisonment, and torture for the program. While Quorra dealt most of the damage, the user's involvement affected Rinzler's own significantly. The enforcer may not hold (much of) a grudge, but he also has little reason-or desire-to seek out the user at present.

Kurosaki_Ichigo
Without even trying, Ichigo managed to show more care for Rinzler's well-being in the space of an hour than the program's had from anyone for most of his existence. While Rinzler wasn't entirely capable of recognizing this, he did respond. Despite his increasing interest and competitiveness with what he's seen so far of Ichigo's skills, the user is uniquely not someone Rinzler wants to fight.
Ichigo is both the biggest source of conflict in ilpromenade and the person Rinzler values most. The user continually pushes him to move past his limitations and choose for himself what he wants to be-noticeably enough that in the program's recent de-aged stint as Tron, he gave Ichigo a copy of his disk-a backup that remains, despite Rinzler's reversion. Although the program's less-than-happy about the entire incident, at this point, Ichigo's very much earned his trust, respect, and to an extent, care. Rinzler would go to almost any lengths to avoid harming Ichigo, and under most circumstances, would actively try to help.

Shiro
Rinzler encountered Shiro when the hollow was hanging off the ceiling by his claws. That, combined with a creepily corrupted probe of energy, led the program to a clear conclusion: virus. He'd have gone after Shiro then and there if Ichigo hadn't gotten in the way.
His assumptions were challenged when he took down Quorra-and the 'virus' responded with his own rage-for Rinzler killing "an innocent person". Shiro defined his own function to Rinzler as protecting others at any cost, something that resonates uncomfortably close with the former security program. In some ways, he almost prefers the hollow's clear-cut anger and aggression-this, at least, he has a clear response to.

Rukia
Rinzler attacked Rukia while following Quorra's trail in an attempt to force her to disclose the ISO's location. This was less successful than he might have hoped-while he didn't fare poorly against the shinigami, he utterly failed to get anything but a battle from her.
After Quorra's defeat, Rukia joined the ranks of the furious and vengeful. Rinzler's not especially worried about her, but he does recognize she could pose a significant threat.

Knock Out
Rinzler has yet to actually meet Knock Out in person. His initial impressions over the network were of a mildly annoying but useful information source. This was promptly turned around when Knock Out claimed familiarity with Ram of all programs. He's been hostile and wary of Knock Out since then (more so since actually seeing what he looks like), which the mech has responded to with amusement and minor taunting.

Aqua
Alongside Sora, Aqua was the first to intervene in Rinzler's pursuit of Quorra. The user showed extreme ability-somewhat with her blade, but more with something Rinzler had no idea how to handle-magic. The program did worse in the battle than he would have liked, and blames Aqua and her unfair abilities for it. Having been (in his own mind) humiliated by something he couldn't expect, Rinzler very much wants a rematch-or at the least, wants her gone.

Sora
Sora helped Aqua battle Rinzler, but the program wasn't overwhelmingly impressed with the other's skill in a fight-were the user on his own, Rinzler feels he could have taken him with little difficulty. The program did note him as a potential weakness for Aqua-an easier target that she cared about deeply, and would assist at all costs.
After Quorra's defeat, Sora responded to Rinzler over the network with understandable anger. What took the program utterly by surprise, however, was the mention of his name-that "Tron" would have hated him. This stirred up severe conflict for Rinzler; though his systems wiped memory of the event, he still holds a strange unease with this user.

TARDIS
Rinzler first spoke to the TARDIS over the network, and was quickly disturbed by how much she seemed to know about him. He halfway suspects her of having scanned or hacked his systems somehow-despite knowing that shouldn't be possible, particularly without his notice. When she continued this trend on a face-to-face meeting, the program decided she was a security threat and attempted to delete her; he wound up incapable of finishing it on seeing her user form severely injured.

Zaheer
Rinzler ran into the strangely shaped user and was curious. Zaheer, however was in a bad mood, so it turned to a fight. While Zaheer pulled back on injuring Rinzler and proving that the program wasn't human, Rinzler's own frustration was nowhere near resolved. He remains silently furious at the user, and would welcome a chance to finish their battle.

Senka
Senka attacked him seemingly from nowhere with a strange control over the shadows around. While he didn't manage to hurt her, her attacks weren't damaging enough for him to count her as a true threat. Rinzler views her as some kind of system glitch or malware-worth deleting, but low priority compared to most of the threats around.
