ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Brief character personalities of my cast, this is mainly for Wyvernian. - Ben

Samuel: This guy doesnt have an implant. His morality is on the edge and he believes that he must do what is necessary and make whatever sacrifice necessary to escape the ARK. He's also very observant and detail-oriented. Evidently, in environments where there poses no danger he actually begins to relax and have fun in his own way; treating his allies like true friends. He doesnt consider any of his crew true friends except Star, and Nova (his best friend in Terran High)

Aurora: Her implant allows her to chart a mental map with the stars. Even though she has friends, she doesn't mind abandoning them for her own selfish goal of survival. This stems from her fear of death, and the fear that everything she did would go to waste. She was the valedictorian of Terran High. She has romantic interests for Samuel because he reminds her of her late lover, Borealis, but deep down she knows she does not stand a chance.

Neddy: His implant allows him to detect other human beings in the nearby vicinity, which makes his implant hum and glow. He was Samuel's first ally. He is a bit of a nerd and knows a lot of pointless trivia, especially with dinosaurs. He is very clumsy and not very intuitive, but he tries his best to be a good person and make friends regardless. He loves Ruby, but their relationship is not "official" yet. Probably because they dont have time for that.

Ruby: Her implant allows her to craft whatever she needs at extremely fast speeds. She is very loyal to Aurora as she is her friend, but as the story progressed her allegience wavers. She begins to wonder if its the right thing to do whats best for only them, and Neddy's morals begin to rub off on her. She also enjoys meeting new people and making new friends. She tries her best to maintain a serious no nonsense attitude like Aurora, but she immediately changes to a more happy outgoing "let's just have friend" girl once she gets closer to Neddy.

Star: A dodo bird that likes to follow Samuel around. She never went through the taming process but is still Samuel's friend. Unlike other creatures in the series, she acts very very human. Its almost as if theres a human trapped inside her body. She'll do things like roll her eyes, lick her beak, or even laugh and ruffle her feathers and flap her wings to express herself. She does not seem to approve of Aurora's infatuation with Samuel and expresses joy whenever her actions to win Samuel over fall flat. She also possesses the uncanny ability to "enlighten" others, clearing their mind and allowing them to focus extremely well. When she uses this ability, her chest glows like an implant.

In TAOH implants do not work the same way that they do in the original game. Instead of acting as universal translators and respawners and crafting objects, they possess their own special abilities to help the user survive on the island.
