The Terminator
Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… in a factory. The Terminator, technically known as a Terminator T-800 Model 101, was created on an assembly line in a factory in the year 2029.
Living… in the future. The Terminator is one of many identical machines. He was designed for one purpose: to hunt down and kill humans. In the year 2029, mankind has almost been completely exterminated. The machines, under the leadership of the self-aware and brilliant computer network “Skynet,” now rule the earth.
Visiting… the year 1985. The Terminator has been sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor – a woman who is destined to give birth to the future leader of the human resistance, John Connor.
Profession… executioner. In the words of Kyle Reese, a human freedom fighter, The Terminator “can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with, it doesn’t feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”
Challenge… finding and killing Sarah Connor. Her unborn child, John Connor, will grow up to become the only threat to the machine’s complete world-domination. Unfortunately for the machines, John Connor has sent back one of his most trusted freedom fighters, Kyle Reese, to help protect his mother and safeguard his existence.
Personality… terse, serious, and unemotional. For all intents and purposes, The Terminator has no personality. He only communicates when he needs to, and when he does, it’s with as few words as possible. He exists for one reason and one reason only: to terminate Skynet’s enemies.
Get to Know him in...

The Terminator: Future Shock is a first-person shooter computer game released by Bethesda Softworks in 1995. The game depicts Judgment Day as happening in 1995, then the setting jumps forward to Los Angeles in the year 2015. The gamer plays a human escaping entrapment by Terminators. After escaping hostile enemy territory in the first mission, the player meets with John Connor, the leader of the Resistance. From that point on, one plays as a Resistance fighter. Skynet's uprising in 1990 has left most of humanity dead, with control in Skynet's hands. All around is death and decay, scattered with remnants of a past society shattered. Future Shock is played in the first person perspective at all times. Each level in the game requires the player to solve a number of objectives before continuing to the next level, while fighting enemy robots with a wide variety of guns and grenades. Another obstacle in each level is the harsh terrain, as many areas contain too much radiation for the player character to remain alive. The terrain is navigated in three ways, 'on foot', in a jeep with a mounted cannon, or in an Aerial Hunter-Killer.
