William "Bean" Morgan [MEC-4]

Part I

January 2095 - February 2096 The Mechanically Engineered Conciousness [M.E.C.] Project, similar to the M.E.O. Project [see Damian for more details] in the fact that it was a militarily funded commission given to Simon Felis to complete within a years time. Believing he could realistically do it, Simon accepted, pushing the project to one of his lesser used and farther away facilities to be completed. Under Simon's unattendant command, engineers worked together to create the four different M.E.C. figures that would be created as early prototypes of the project. M.E.C. - 1 and M.E.C. - 2 were created a year before the others in 2095. In the official records, they were labelled as "faulty" and were shut down. M.E.C. - 3 and M.E.C. - 4 were created as backups for the project, although with slight modifications. They would live on as the other two collapsed. Those original two however were able to conjure and set up explosives around the facility in unknown locations. This went under the noses of the people working there for long enough to where when they were starting to sniff their plan out, it was already too late.

Part II

March 2096 - April 2096 An explosion at the lab, undoubtibly caused by M.E.C. - 1 and M.E.C. - 2 caused it to go down quickly, with many of the staff fleeing or becoming crushed under debris. Somehow, against all odds, M.E.C. - 3 and M.E.C. - 4 survived, running as fast as the two of them could through the desert towards the closest thing resembling their home that they could find. The city. Unfortunately to them as well, the two of them couldn't live off of nothing. They walked into a store and accidently robbed it, taking food and other items that appeared new to them. All of this while the two of them were still showing serious signs of physical trauma, such as broken screens where their facial displays would be, and missing limbs. The authorities were called on them and they ran, splitting up in the process on accident.

Damian and his crew exit their heist, a narrow escape, as it appeared that the police were called before they had even tripped off any sensors. Speeding off, with Damian in the drivers seat, Collie manages to see William as he runs into an ally to hide, encouraging Damian to at least let her check it out. Unsurprisingly to Damian, she falls in love with it and asks to keep it, despite its high maintanance state, treating William, who doesn't know English and thus what they are talking about, like a poor little puppy on the side of the road in a box. She somehow convinced Damian that William was worth keeping and thus their adventure began.

Part III

April 2096 - August 2096 Over the 5 month period, William gradually learns to speak, with a wired connection to the internet helping in his learning process exponentially. He stays within Damian's apartment in a spare room that's filled with unopened boxes of things they Damian couldn't find a place for within his otherwise tidy home. Learning social norms was exceptionally hard for him, even more so than English. Manners and clothing were some of those, which he eventually caught a grasp on, but never deviated from one outfit, not seeing the need for more. His second outfit is just him in his classic red jammies.
