Natalie!Six for number 1, amirite?

4. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and Sharon "Athena" Valerii-Agathon (Eights)



Boomer: First episode: Miniseries
Athena: First episode: Season 1 Ep 1 "Pilot"

*deep breath*

Boomer and Athena are both Eight model cylons with the same memories up to a point with one crucial difference: Athena always knew she was a cylon. Boomer thought she was human. While Boomer left Caprica and was in the fleet, Athena stayed behind with Helo to try and seduce him to create the first human-cylon hybrid baby (it worked btw). I've put them both in the same ranking because their lives are so intertwined that it would be impossible to rank them separately.

Boomer started out believing she was human until she was switched on and tried to assassinate Commander Adama. She was eventually assassinated herself by Cally, this horrible cunt who was in love with Chief Tyrol who was in love Boomer (Cally was also eventually assassinated, this time by a cylon named Tory who was sleeping with a cylon named Anders who was married to Kara, who may or may not be a cylon). Anywho, prior to her death she was downloaded into a new body on Caprica and began a v sad and tragic downward spiral.

Athena always knew she was a cylon, but after falling in love with the adorable and very fuckable Helo she chose to embrace human culture and live among them. She eventually gained their trust and acceptance after a harrowing ordeal where she was imprisoned and almost raped. Helo knocked her up and she gave birth to the first cylon-human hybrid, Hera. Athena desperately wants to be human and is disgusting by herself and her own people.


Eights <3 lavendar

Meanwhile, Boomer, along with a Six named Caprica, started the cylon revolution for coexisting with humans, which went horribly awry with the occupation of New Caprica. This, however, led to the abduction of Hera, Athena's child. Boomer attempted to take care of it, but the child did not respond positively to her, which only fed Boomer's intense jealousy of Athena. Finally she attempted to snap it's neck, but was killed by Caprica before she could follow through.

Once Boomer became aware that the cylons had her child she had her gorgeous husband Helo shoot and kill her so that she would be resurrected on the cylon basestar and could rescue her daughter. She rescued Hera with the help of Caprica and they live happily on the Galactica ^_^ Oh except for this one time when she was having these hallucinatory prophetic dreams and thought a Six named Natalie was going to steal her child, so she shot and killed her, totally threatening the rebel cylon/human alliance.


Helo kills his wife to save his daughter

Boomer had since been resurrected yet again, and was now a loyal follower of the One named Cavil. Wishing only to be a machine so she could no longer feel the pain and disappointment of her tragic life, she wholeheartedly swallowed his atheist beliefs (unusual for an Eight) and cold-hearted practices. She inadvertently sparked the Cylon civil war because she voted against her line and sided with the Ones, Fours and Fives. Unheard of! =o She was present at the rebirth of D'Anna aka Xenalon, and watched helplessly as D'Anna snapped the neck of her love Cavil, killing him permanently. It is unknown where Boomer is today.

Boomer and Athena are more than just fierce azns, they're deep, sympathetic characters. Boomer is a confused, lost angel who never had a choice and was forced to give up everything. Forced to betray everyone. And then she had to watch a person who looked just like her take her whole life. Horrible Athena isn't really all that tragic but her self-loathing and the fact that she's married to grade A HOTTIE Helo boosts her general appeal.

3. Caprica (Six)



First episode: Miniseries

Caprica is the first humanoid cylon we're exposed to and has been the "face" of the cylons (and the series, really) for most of the series. She's originally depicted as a temptress who seduces Dr. Baltar to get information on the security codes so that the cylons can wipe out humanity with little resistance. When the bombs hit Caprica (the planet) she uses her body to shield Dr. Baltar from the shockwave, saving his life and killing that body. She was downloaded into a new body prior to the destruction of the twelve colonies and found out she was a hero to all Cylon-kind for her help in destroying the colonies. Yay!

Caprica befriended Boomer after Boomer was killed and downloaded, and together they started the cylon revolution that led to the occupation of New Caprica. This was not what Caprica intended, as she wanted to live in peace among the humans. When the occupation fell apart, Caprica escaped with her former lover now President Baltar on a basestar, along with Athena's daughter and future of the cylon race, Hera. It was on this basestar that we were first exposed to cylon culture, and also where it was revealed that Caprica had a sexual relationship with Baltar and a Three named D'Anna. At the same time. And they were all in love. So juice <3 Unfortch, D'Anna and Baltar were obsessed with finding the FINAL FIVE, a fascination that separated them from Caprica. D'Anna and Baltar broke up with Caprica, telling her that they loved her but that their destinies were separate, breaking Caprica's heart



Caprica assisted Athena in rescuing Hera from the cylon basestar and returned to the fleet with them where she was imprisoned. This is where she began having a tawdry and somewhat violent sexual relationship with Colonel Tigh (who is also eventually discovered to be a cylon). She is now impregnated with the crusty old cylon's baby, much to my disgust. It is, however, the first pure cylon baby, so that's good I guess.

Caprica undying love <33333 I heart her so much. She's a unique mix of vulnerability and cold hard bitchitude. Everyone knows Sixes are badass and Caprica is the MAIN Six. She's deeply religious and terrifyingly sexual <3 There's just not enough words to describe how amazing she is. Plus I love her platinum blonde hair. So glam. I can't wait to see what happens with her baby-lon. I fear for it's safety but also hope that it sends Six on a kamikaze rage mission. Anticipation ^_^

ikr? I love her. I feel like she's been dragged down in the fourth season being in the brig on Galactica. It was very difficult for me to rank the top 3 because I love them all so much.

Before unveiling the top two sometime tomorrow, I wanted to pay a little tribute to those that did not get chosen for this prestigious list and give a little rationale on why they were not included.

Colonel Tigh

Tigh came the closest to making the list, but unlike the other cylons, I find his tormented state to be somewhat tedious and uninteresting. He plays a big part in the show, though, so I briefly considered top ten status. Sadly, no

Galen "the Chief" Tyrol

Like Tigh, Tyrol almost made the list. So close! He's an integral character and, unlike Tigh, he's actually interesting. He has had a fucked up life to be sure. But unfortch for everyone, he's not very attractive and I have a general peen bias. Sowwy Madhackrviper

Tory Foster

Tory is a horrible thundercunt and the only thing she's done that has made me like her in all this time is kill Cally, an even more horrible thundercunt. Not enough to make the list.

Simon (Four)
Simon, while sufficiently creepy, never really rose in the ranks of villians on the show. He really only had time to shine on The Farm as the mad scientist cylon model, and since then has been relegated to being an uninteresting Cavil crony.

Aaron Doral (Five)

Like the Fours, the Fives never really came to the forefront. Fives do seem like evil soulless little bastards and they had a lot of potential at the beginning of the series, but they've since taken a backseat to the Ones since their debut.

Scar
Scar is the only raider to have a name and it's own personality. I liked the idea that the raiders resurrected just like the humanoid cylons and that this one in particular had been killed so many times it was twisted and feral like a rabid dog. It was only featured in one episode before it's permanent death, however, so it didn't rank.

OG Hybrid

The original hybrid was prophetic and seemed slightly more coherent than the later, female versions, and I liked that it was old and protected by this huge cadre of old centurions, but it only appeared in the Razor special, so I left it off the list too.

the Guardians

Apparently the OG Hybrids' Guardians' retro look is inspired by the old Battlestar Galactica from the seventies which I have never seen. I briefly considered including them in homage to the past series, and then realized that I didn't give a shit about the old series and abandoned that idea.
