Additional Info
Split into two characters: Admin the self imposed avatar of the governing state and Chem the psychotic bio-terrorist.
Eventually the personalities mixed to make kinda sane but kind of on the dull side. Admin taking the controls and Chem acting as a conscience.
The implant increased the normal human capacity to match that with a computer. However, for Rick’s case.. the increase in brain processing power is more than the average person given his default processing power.
Chem enjoys being under pressure and would tend to be in the middle of the attack making a cure at the last second. This also prevents anyone from obtaining the cure prematurely.
He doesn’t like the idea of people dying, not because he thinks it’s morbid but because it would mean less people to afflict in the future. He also uses this as a criteria when making the cure. It’s kind of like a game to him… see how many people doesn’t end up dying on his watch. However, he does like to inflict pain on others.
Perhaps being in the presences of aliens has influenced his perceptions of the world, or maybe he was just crazy to begin with!?
Backstory
Rick’s Earth was already affiliated with the Galactic Federations before he was born. Seeing Earth overrun with aliens and spacecraft was considered normal at this time. Rick was selected to study abroad and learn about alien technologies to help advance Earth. However, Earth is deemed a low level planet so there was a lot of prejudice towards Rick. Eventually, he saw that school was pointless and dropped out to do some exploration on his own.
(Around his late 20s, early 30s): He returns to Earth to check up on things were progressing. But what his real goal was to see how potent he’s latest project/terrorist attack on the inhabitants in a field test. What occurred was a massive outbreak of degenerative mental capacities which caused worldwide hysteria. The attack gave the Earth government the means to implement their new project to wipe the minds of everyone on Earth…
What occurred afterwards was the Earth being closed for tourism and the only means of entry is for trade purposes and public relations. The Earth underwent a massive change and the planet was finally clad in white. (The Earth was undergoing the change but many protested against the change towards higher regulation even with all the aliens running a muck, influencing the Earth’s laws to their convince.)
The human’s believe that their world (Clad in White) was always like this and to not question it. They would apprehend Rick and did the same to him as they did everyone else. He lived his life without knowing who he was and was just another puppet.
(However, the implementation of the mind-wipe had it’s flaws. The mind wipe was just a personality override. A few personality traits of the original persist and the wipe was more effective on the infants than they are on the elderly who still retain mental functions. A few of the adults and elderly have some premonition of their previous selves as lingering thoughts or second personalities.)
For Rick he does occasionally hear his other self but it was usually in the back of his mind. At first the personalities were very separate entities and for Rick he had to watch as his body was being controlled by someone else in a sleep state within the mind. Eventually, the second personality retains enough of the original to understand the situation that he was in. It took a while but he tries to escape his society and dedicate his life to reversing the effects of his mistakes.
(Note: The terrorist group he was a part of either think he’s dead or has a every man for himself ideal.) The second personality adopts the idea that you need to break a few eggs to make an omelet, AKA gonna kidnap a few people and experiment on them to find a solution to the imposing personalities. When word got out of his escape, they armed his implant to kill him within range. He managed to bypass this for the meantime but a warrant was out for him and he needed to escape persecution. He fled to the Citadel and now works there as an administrator which is just a fancy term for they hooked him up to a computer to regulate incoming documents and assignments. On his spare time he works closely in his lab, struggling to find a way to free his Earth.
