Cylon Questions
Aug. 9th, 2009 02:22 pmA few questions about the 1/4/5 faction of Cylons. Can anyone help me out? The story I'm working on takes place starting at the webisodes.
1.) Do the 1/4/5's know that the Final Five are in the Fleet, and that's why the Raiders turned back at Crossroads?
2.) Do the 1/4/5's know who the Final Five are... well, ever?
3.) Do the Ones (save Cavil), Fours, and Fives know of Ellen's presence on the baseship? If so, do they know she's a final fiver?
4.) Cavil's characterization: do you think the other Ones, Fours, and Fives are treating him as a military leader? Or is he still maintaining the illusion of a voting society?
5.) A non-1/4/5 question. The bearded engineer Two is a big player in my story. I'm debating on a name for him. I'm debating between two names: Tim and Jesse. (I can't use the "Tom" I used in Softly Tread, because Tom Zarek is alive and important in this story.) I'm also debating about the last name. Before, we'd never been given multiple Cylons of the same model that took full human names. Now we have Gina Inervere (or however you spell it) and Natalie Faust. I was debating giving the Two the last name Conoy to signify the brothership the Twos felt, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do. Thoughts?
6.) Do all the Cylons in the same model tend to dress in the same style? I'm thinking no- Natalie certainly dresses more conservatively than Cap6 ever did, and Engineer!Two is wearing a snappy red shirt as opposed to raiding Wash's wardrobe like Leoben does. But I want to check my instincts on that.
7.) Out of curiosity, where ARE the Cylons getting all these clothes and their food and the like from?
8.) Cavil says he doesn't eat, doesn't sleep. I have the impression that's a Cavil thing alone, not all the Cylons. Am I correct on that? (This is actually important, as there's a job for something kind of silly in my fic.)
9.) Okay, this is one of those things that drives me nuts, because the show does it too. My assumption is that the numbers apply to an entire model line, but the names apply to a specific Cylon. Thus "Aaron Doyle" is the consciousness that was giving tours of the Galactica in the mini-series, and if you yelled "Aaron!" at a bunch of Fives, only one would turn. Ditto "John Cavil", "Simon", "Leoben Conoy", "D'Anna Biers", etc. Sharon is a little different because the two Cylons with the name "Sharon" were meant to be passed off to humans as the same distinct individual at one point. Granted, the characters call them "the Sharons" and "the Leobens" and all that, but does this thinking make sense?
10.) I don't really have a ten right now- I just like putting ten things on a list.
I think that's it. If anyone can help me on these, I'd really, REALLY appreciate it. THANKS! :)
