— body type
NEP2UNE has a very lean, athletic build. They stand at 5'9" and normally appear even taller as they often don platformed shoes. Their facial features make them appear younger than their designed age in order to properly mimic the appearance of the person they were modeled after. Despite looking rather skinny, they still can manage more than the average human as a result of their technological design.
— voice
Their voice was designed to be one of a confident, young man with nothing but hints of joy. Their voice sits at a middle range; not too deep, but not too high either. However, as a result of their damage, their voice tends to come out more robotic with the occasional stutters and glitches in their speech as well.
— scars
NEP2UNE's most notable scar is the one displayed on their face. Their left cheek is torn back, revealing artificial flesh, their mechanical wiring and joints, and their robotic covering. Their teeth are reveal as well. The damage extends from the left edge of their lips and extends up towards their cheekbone, all across the side left side of their face, and a portion down below their chin and on their neck. Their artificial skin is also scraped off in patches throughout their left side of their body as well. However, they hide those damages with their clothing.
— aesthetics
They enjoy punk aesthetics as well as the old brands that existed on Earth from hundreds of years ago. Neon lights, motorbikes, and the grunge scenes are also aesthetics they enjoy.
— accessories
Their accessories include their earrings, their teeth jewels, and their headband that they always wear. Their headband shows old brands and old flags from the past.
— body modifications
NEP2UNE has 3 lobe piercings on their left ear and an industrial piercing and two lobe piercings on their right ear. They also have a lip ring piercing. Their product code is printed right below their eye on their left cheek as well. Their body is covered with a variety of tattoos in an attempt to conceal the damage they have obtained throughout the years. They also have ink on their exposed robotic covering and stickers to conceal it as well. Additionally, they have teeth jewels that spell out "DIE PUNK! XX" on the top and "PLAY HARD XX" on the bottom.
AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT YOU KICK SLOW | PERSONA
— strengths
They excel in agility, having expertise in parkour and scaling large buildings. High areas like roofs of skyscrapers and traveling between balcony to balcony is their home turf. They have an incredible stamina and their impulsiveness helps them get out of sticky situations most of the time. They use their processing system to help them calculate things and access systems that would normally be locked off as well. They have a good way with words when they aren't spewing insults and can get people on their side very easily as well.
— weaknesses
Like any android, they are prone to taking heavy damage if hit enough times due to their composition that is similar to that of a human's. Their impulse can also become harmful at times as they have difficulty being analytic in situations and sometimes even barge into places that land them in more trouble than good. They also have a sharp tongue and aren't afraid to speak their mind, no matter how blunt they come off, leading them to picking unintentional fights. Due to their rather slim design, they were made more for running around than fighting, meaning their punches don't have much power behind them. This becomes a problem if they end up in hand-to-hand fights without anything but their fists at their disposal.
— fears
They fear that one day, their original creator will find them and shut them down or they'll die by some goons' hands. Either way, they absolutely fear death and do anything to avoid it. They are also scared of never finding their own purpose or becoming their own person and, as a result, end up reverting back to Neopolo Kane. The thought of being reset and repaired and resold as an android again also petrifies them, as they never want to live a life like that ever again.
— insecurities
NEP2UNE likes to portray themselves as carefree and claim they possess no insecurities. However, they're very insecure about the damage they possess throughout their body. They believe that, no matter what they do, no matter how much they design it and decorate themselves to be their own person, those scars will always define who they are and always be there to remind them that they can't escape their past.
— interests
They're very interested in graffiti and do their own tagging of walls from time to time. They also have an affinity for collecting stickers and giving tattoos to other people. Riding a motorbike and parkour are other pastimes of theirs that they are interested in as well.
— skills
They're very well versed when it comes to tattoos, and they also are very skillful at parkour. They can scale and jump between the highest of buildings and structures without worries or problems whatsoever. They are a smooth talker and can easily make acquaintances with all types of strangers from different walks of life. They also have an easy time with using their processing system to access other systems that have similar coding scripts.
— likes
NEP2UNE loves the brands and flags from old Earth and has an entire collection of antiques from that era. They collect tons of stickers and tags and like graffiti, like prior mentioned. Motorbikes and working with different kinds of vehicles are another like of theirs.
— dislikes
They dislike people pointing out their damage or asking about it, thinking that it shouldn't matter, especially when it doesn't pertain to the conversation or are asked by complete strangers. They also hate getting into fights despite the fact that their big mouth gets them stuck in conflict in the first place. They despise being told what to do as well, extremely against being shoved around and told off like some servant again.
— personality overview
NEP2UNE is an extremely outgoing character, possessing virtually no filter. They always seem to be moving or doing something to keep themselves occupied, and they have no hard times striking conversation with anyone they come across. They are fairly blunt and seem to ignore the consequences of their occasionally rude actions, well aware of what they are doing. They tend to ignore proper etiquette and feel no remorse for the unfortunate souls that end up getting on their nerves. They very often try to present themselves as competent to larger people, determined to do anything but let anyone push them around ever again. They tend to poke and prod at people on purpose in order to make fun of their annoyed responses, only further pushing people's buttons. They do know their limits at times, and will make deals or behave when around people beyond their caliber in order to ensure their safety. All in all, they're very erratic and rambunctious. There's no dull moment whenever they're around.
SHOULD'VE LET YOUR TRICK 'HO CHICK | HISTORY
— birth date
November 4th, 2990
— childhood
NEP2UNE came from a specific line of android creations. From the surface, the company that serviced their type of androids seemed to be doing some good in the dim world of NeoKyo. The company, ANGEL RETURN SERVICES, was branded to help assist those who have lost a loved one and think that it's impossible to ever recover from their grief. Although the service seemed to have good intentions, it was established underneath TOWER and therefore was made as a result of greed rather than sympathy. They took the heartbreaking grief of those mourning and wishing their loved ones would return and exploited it as much as they could. ANGEL RETURN SERVICES provided a simple promise; for a very high price, those that are mourning can replicate their loved ones with a perfect android. The company did not back down on their promise and manufactured exactly that. Profit for the company boomed, and the moment the androids were handed over to their buyer, they couldn't care less about what happened to them. They knew what would happen as a result of trying to "bring back" the dead and how it would affect both the buyer and the android, but they gave no heeds of warning to those purchasing and let things take their course the moment it was out of their hands. They knew a replica would never be as good as the original for these people, but the return of their grief the moment the android gets damaged beyond repair would only lead to the buyers continuing to come back and waste all their spendings on it again. NEP2UNE was one of many androids manufactured for the purpose of consolation. They were ordered by a pair of grieving parents who had lost their son in a gang fight he got involved with while trying to run away from home. NEP2UNE was designed to replicate the deceased, 18 year old Neopolo Kane. With some help provided by the parents to help refine their design, NEP2UNE came out to be the perfect replica of their son without a single flaw differentiating them from the original Neopolo. The Kane couple immediately took them in, caring for them like they would their son and NEP2UNE cooperating as a result of their programming. The couple was more than overjoyed to know that they had their son back, and even managed to somehow forget that the original had died and, overlooking the product code on their cheek, came to believe that NEP2UNE was their real son. They went on as if Neopolo Kane had never died. The family got along well and took care NEP2UNE. NEP2UNE helped the parents get over their loss with their simple presence, and things had been going well for the first few years. But life never had a happy ending in NeoKyo.
— event that made them who they are today
After the 3rd year anniversary of being designed for the Kane couple, it became evident to the Neopolo Kane replica that there was a good reason the original had run away. After spoiling the android and giving them all their attention for the first few years, the couple finally settled down and completely forgot about their grief and their original son. They believed NEP2UNE was their real son, so after the small grace period, they began to properly treat them as such. Their "mother" would force them to clean up after her violent outbursts and their "father" would resort to using them as an outlet and a punching bag to take out his rage. The cycle continued between the two as they traded NEP2UNE back and forth to take their emotions out on them. ANGEL RETURN SERVICES purposely designed their androids to not retaliate to anything negative against them; claiming that the buyers would act irrational as a result of their grief and the androids had to be there for comfort. As a result, NEP2UNE had to deal with the array of insults, punches, and bottles thrown at them, programmed to believe that they were still just grieving. One day, in a drunken rage, their 'mother' and 'father' had both gotten into an argument that might as well prove they needed a divorce. NEP2UNE, designed to comfort and reduce conflict, wedge themselves in the middle in order to prevent one from hurting the other. The two "parents" used this opportunity to take their anger out on NEP2UNE instead of each other. The first to berate them was their "mother", who snatched their arm and started to slap them and yell at them, saying how she should have never gave birth to them and that they were the reason her marriage was falling apart. She shook them around like a ragdoll and gave not a single shred of mercy when it came to her vile choice of words. Once she believed it was enough, NEP2UNE was tossed to their "father", who would be the reason why they are no longer with the two of them anymore. His silence was far more excruciating than his wife's choice of words as he immediately got physical with them. Their father tossed them around the room, slamming them to the ground and smashing a bottle over their head. He would grab them by the scalp and drag them around the house, remaining silent as he let his actions do the talking. He would throw them on the counter, onto the wall, against the table; anywhere that made a loud sound as he beat them. NEP2UNE's programming prevented them from providing any kind of pained reaction a normal child would make going through such an experience. However, their father had yet to stop. He kept going blindly, even his wife yelling at him that that was more than enough. The male had thrown NEP2UNE to the ground, grabbing them by the scalp once more. He lifted NEP2UNE's head back harshly and repeatedly bashed the left side of their face against the coffee table, cracking through their protective layer of skin and breaking through their covering. He continued in a rage, pummeling NEP2UNE's robotic anatomy with no mercy. He managed to break through so hard that he cracked through one of the many chips implanted in NEP2UNE's mainframe. The chip he cracked was the one that filtered out NEP2UNE's perception of pain and comprehension of danger. As a result of this damage, NEP2UNE began to seize, the father finally getting off of them as he came to realize the amount of damage he had done. NEP2UNE's coding went through an error, trying to repair itself to it's original state despite the loss of their filtering chip. However, the overwhelming feeling of being able to percept human emotion of their own was too much and they broke free of their initial coding. They came to realize that even if their original counterpart hadn't died when he escaped his home, he would've been killed off by the people who raised him as their own either way. NEP2UNE was no longer Neopolo Kane. When they came to, their father and mother were about ready to get rid of them once and for all. They managed to fight them off and escape from the house, pieces of their skin and and covering hanging off by a thread as they ran off. Using their knowledge implanted in their head prior to their 'break', NEP2UNE used this to survive on the streets and learn how to become a person of their own. They continue to try and shave off the name of Neopolo Kane from their identity. However, to respect their dead counterpart, they kept a small homage to him with their new name; NEP2UNE.
