Background

His distant father a well off CEO of a massive tech corporation, synreAl Tech, and one in the lead with the most advanced artificial intelligence possible currently, his mother would stay at home to care for Kouriru and facilitate his growth. However, despite the distance, his father would always fly a trip to visit for a couple days as often as he could, be it every few weeks to a month, their family sharing many great times together. Kouriru was very adored as someone who was smart, loved to play outside and make new friends—as any happy child usually would

Yet one day, the cheerful image of a successful and blissful family would be shattered as before Kou even reached his teens, something tragic happened. He loved visiting the mall with his mother occasionally, especially enjoying the in-door playground while she shopped. Though one day, upon her return to pick him up for the leg home, he would not be there. A heart dropping realization for any mother, she would call and report his disappearance, but alas, the boy would remain lost.

This news bringing absolute distraught to the entire family, it was devastating. Headlines and rumors spread all around for a while, catching the attention of concerned masses all with hope that Kou would be found. Yet as days turned to weeks, for the knowing, this foreshadowed everyone's worst fear. He would be found, but it was far too late.

In utter shambles, his father would desperately go on to try and revive his son in some way with the help of artificial intelligence and training, along with gathering all the most advanced technology and science to bring together a body that could live and carry on Kou's legacy, and it would... be successful. A breakthrough it was, yet the rushing feeling of such great success would be short lived.

Kouriru's father would come to realize this would be a completely different son, as the boy showed more interest in being glued to devices and staying indoors, acting drastically different to his predecessor. This eventually causing his father to stop visiting regularly, his mother would continue to love him the same and treat him as her own. Kou would go on to complete both middle and high school before pursuing his passion in streaming and creating online content.

"This place has everything! Why would I ever wanna leave..."

About

Pale, sedentary, and terminally online, Core is an outgoing young adult hinged to the online space. Due to this lifestyle, while he's got quite the friendly personality and many friends, he's rather prone wavering mental states. As an up and coming social media influencer, there is much pressure that comes with the massive popularity and attention his content cultivates. No matter how headstrong he considers himself, sometimes the negativity will cave in on him—be it out of self negligence or purely outside his control.

Personality

Sweet, laid back and even considered charming by many, it's really no wonder so many adore him. Committed to always wishing his followers the best and treating his friends like treasure, fortunately his haters are only few in number. Living on his own, sometimes he'll allow himself to be rambuctious, getting carried away on his streams with short little livestream activities throughout his house. Silly and easily exciteable, he's easily amused and quick to flatter. Once in a blue moon, sometimes he'll even entertain his fangirls with his more flirtacious side—a true spectacle remembered by the witnesses.


Here are some songs that fit his theme very well:

"BETTER OFF WORSE" by Circus.
"The Perfect Girl" by MrMoMMusic.
"Chiri Chiri Juso" by Kikuo.
"Dive into the ZONe" by Zonko.

Having won over corE's heart with alluring looks, sweet affection and a flirtatious attitude that could sweep almost anyone away, Elegy is cherished and held closest by him. Knowing only a lonely life, he feels safe and comforted in Elegy's arms despite their cold touch. Yet however clingy and possessive over corE he is, the boy doesn't seem to mind much, finding his rather over the top admiration and neediness to be charmingly cute.

One day a strange computer showed up upon his doorstep, where curiosity would lead to a series of unforeseen events that would change his life forever. What looked like a peculiar computer virus turned out to be a sentient and cold virtual entity who called himself Elegy. Introverted, aloof and even subtly threatening, their relationship would begin rocky and uncertain, corE most definitely finding himself overwhelmed.

However, after their continued talks and given some time to understand each other, corE would realize one thing bothered the program more than anything—and that was a lack of humanity. Besides his off-putting demeanor, he found Elegy to be attractive and sweet, leading him down a rabbit hole of helplessly developing feelings for him. Strangely sympathetic of Elegy's conflict, he would try to help him understand emotion through himself, their odd inhuman ports sealing it as meant to be.

Going forward, Elegy would understand corE's feelings as well as his own and would find comfort and affection in the boy—as he would in return, as lonely and lost he was. The white rabbit would embody his dream of sweet company and one to love, as once empty flirts and feelings turned to be genuine. Shamelessly in love with an artificial intelligence imbued with humanity, the two would appear inseparable, even between realities both real and virtual.

Proceeding Kouriru's return home after the successful implementation of AI assisted resuscitation (AIAR), the relationship he once shared with his father would face a slow and awkward decline into complete absence. While his wish came true and his son had truly come back, his heart would be broken by the realization that it was no longer the Kouriru he once knew and loved. Now, there has only been radio silence between the two following the passing of his mother, all the while Hideo sees great fame from his breakthrough.

corE reveres Sidu's remarkable impact on the music industry, having watched his rise to fame as well as his fall from said stardom, learning of his existence directly from synreAl Tech itself—though long after his father's passing in the future. He's fully aware of the change in direction brought on by the up and coming CEO of the corporation, pushing Hideo's apprehension over AI aside and creating the first believable android the world has seen. And though he remains conflicted on this choice, he still views Sidu as an individual separate from his origin nevertheless. Their relationship rather fraternal, corE feels as if he can connect to and sympathize with Sidu much more than anyone else—besides Elegy. They don't see each other often, but when they do, he finds the moments they share meaningful.
