SUMMARY

Rye grew up in the automaton slums of Port, adopted (stolen? simply picked up off the ground? we may never know) into one of the robot communes there post-liberation. While being raised by worker robots may seem counterintuitive to Rye's social development, he's managed to grow into a well-mannered young man. The price-gouging of robotic parts and engines forced Rye to become responsible for all human communications and transactions outside the commune; as a human, he wasn't discriminated against in the human part of town. His childhood was spent ferrying rusted machinery between his home and Port's markets.

Rye's most famous for his talents fixing automatons. Since Port's robots became liberated- no longer legally defined as pieces of property, and requiring compensation for their labor- thousands of machine workers, many designed for simple assembly line tasks and not much else, have slowly rusted away in their new neighborhoods on the edge of the colony. Rye's learned to be resourceful, patchworking robots together and reworking common appliances to replaced defunct parts.

Rye grew up learning from third-hand textbooks, audiobooks, and home videos his family scavenged or traded for within Port. Because of this, his speech and patterns can be a bit quirky- he'll say certain words or phrases with a different accent, completely misuse words he's only seen in books, and repeat stock phrases from films he liked as a kid in sometimes not-super-appropriate situations. As he's grown older he's mostly learned better, but the slip-ups never completely stop...

There's not a lot to say about his personality: Rye is your average friendly guy. Growing up alongside the wickedly smart Elna, Rye is very down-to-earth, and not easily manipulated. Rye has a quiet, unshakeable confidence about him that makes him a great communicator; but he's not the type to be overly blunt about his opinions, and understands the wisdom in being quiet.
