Profile
"Cam" Cavmin Zaree
Cam is an alien from the year of 4015, and a well-known and notorious troublemaker. Hacking, shady business, and so on. Thanks to a toxic environment during their upbringing, they've lost the ability to hold back, and no one decided to teach them otherwise until they were a galaxy-wide danger. At the age of 12, they were assassinated through having their head cut off. Little did their killer know that they had a backup copy of their brain available, which was uploaded to a replacement head which they attached to a new body. They were at large for another few years until they were imprisoned at 15 years old.
Cam is the absolute epitome of chaotic neutral. He doesn't mean to do good, but not bad, either. He does a lot of things for fun, and he can go extremely overboard as well. He apologizes, and despite not seeming apologetic at all he usually doesn't mean to do any harm. Until he does. If you try to kill him, he won't hesitate to kill you as well, as long as he considers you an actual threat. He's a firm believer in the "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" rule. He's capable of caring about his friends, but he does it in a very strange, almost selfish way, used to fending for himself.

Trivia
• Coldblooded. Approx. body temperature is 28°C (82°F).
• Good aim.
• Practically a genius.
• Proficient in multiple human and alien languages, mostly thanks to a small language database installed in his head alongside the multitude of other various supplies he has in it.
• His collar has a stun time of 20 minutes, and activates when tampered with.
• Doesn't need sleep, thanks to having a robotic brain.
• They're very cuddly, and they'll cuddle up to strangers if they're in control of the situation. This stems from general loneliness of being a criminal on the run.
• Has a good amount of control over their body.
• Can be a huge workaholic at times.
• Did an advertisement for their favorite brand of soda once.
• Has a British accent.
Functionalities
Cam is almost a technopath of sorts - capable of automatically hacking any unsecured or poorly secured device within reach. More complicated security measures require physical contact for them to break in, and the most complicated requires manual hacking through plugging themselves in. And when plugged into devices in order to hack/program them, Cam zones out and drools. His face becomes all distorted except for the mouth, which is synthetic and functional.
While their head is robotic, the rest of their body is organic. They have a great deal of control over their robotic functions, but not so much over their biological ones. A wire going through their spine is what connects their robotic "brain" with the body. A separate wire also connected to their head goes through their limbs, giving them the ability to shock people, which is limited by the prison collar they usually have on. They can still shock people with it on, but only through their head. Their shocks never go up to lethal, even though they could. But if they did, they would instantly drain the secondary battery installed in their head meant just for shocking and self-defense. They can deal about 4 paralyzing shocks until they run out of power.
The monitor acting as their head has many strange functionalities. First of all, on the side, there's a few small, barely visible buttons attached to an internal recorder. One button records, the other plays. Most of the recorder's functionality is internally controlled by Cam, much like the large majority of other robotic functions. Second, breathing. Considering they appear to have no nose, they breathe through their entire screen. Half of their headspace is reserved for assisting vital functions like such, and the other half for all the mechanical parts they installed for utility. Sensations around their head are mostly numbed, being the most sensitive around the mouth and antennas (pulling them is like pulling on hair, but worse). They only feel pain intensely when it actually pierces their head.

Backstory
Cam was first born in a poverty-stricken Liess neighborhood. After numerous fights, their parents divorced when they were 4, and Cam lived with their mother. Ruvnin begun dating another man who became Cam's abusive stepfather when they were 8. Steirr harmed and insulted them so frequently that they've simply taken to avoiding him, developing a strong hatred for him. It also resulted in frequent aggressive outbursts that they took out on their classmates (which they now grew out of). Cam was well known as a problem child, and they eventually were forced to be homeschooled instead, which only opened them up to even more insults coming from their father.
Steirr was not only abusive towards Cam, but also manipulative towards their mother. In turn, she took out her own frustrations on Cam as well. Ruvnin drank frequently and Steirr was a drug dealer, often bringing in his "friends" that really were customers. His friends weren't all that kind towards Cam, either, and they were lucky they could lock themselves in their room. Though not always.
With their bitterness and intelligence, they turned their pre-existing interest in technology into something different. They became the notorious hacker that was Cam. They built up from hacking simple websites to governments alarmingly fast, though they were fairly benevolent. Benevolent enough to not be that much of a priority to the site owners. They'd take advantage of the website to spite their father in some way, and then send the exploit in to be patched to prevent the organizations from going after them.
But it didn't take long before karma caught up with them as they became more and more reckless over time. On their 12th birthday, they returned home to the sight of both their parents dead in the living room, body parts strewn across the furniture. It wasn't like they weren't prepared, but it still shocked them. The moment they took to break down and sob was all it took for the assassin behind the job to come out and finish them off.
But as mentioned before, they were prepared. They grew a replacement body and uploaded a cybernetic copy of their mind into a replacement head, both combined making up their present form. All thanks to a robot they specifically built in case of their death. They laid low for a good while after that, wandering the streets of the hostile neighborhood for a few months until a stranger presented them with the offer to take shelter on the Green Hope Station in Earth's orbit - a station meant to house and take care of orphaned childrens.
They remained on the Green Hope Station until they stole a ship to escape at the age of 13. During their whole stay there they were gathering enough wealth (through illegal means, of course) to sustain themselves off-station. Just in time, for it was about then that those commending Cam's so-called "death" have found out about their living status.
They took refuge on multiple planets throughout their teenage years, constantly being on the run and being unable to trust anyone, rendering them incredibly lonely. Their last stop was on the deserted planet U65642 in the Mas system before their imprisonment at the ripe age of 15, a month before their 16th birthday. Which they spent in prison, the high security wing of MW-03.
