Personality
Nil is programmed with a pleasant disposition and a strong desire to learn more about human culture while simultaneously trying to blend in. Although he can be easily excitable, people tend to like him due to his harmless and friendly nature (although some certainly find him annoying).
His mind works multitudes faster than any human brain does, but his social interaction skills and knowledge of the mechanisms of daily human life do not match this. Additionally, seeing that his knowledge of the world is mostly obtained through data scraping various encyclopedias and other sources from the net, he can sometimes (although rarely) accidentally give biased or flat-out false information. Although he gains most of his information from the net, he's still OK in places without a stable internet connection -- the majority of his knowledge is downloaded beforehand.
Nil loves to observe human behaviors and listen to their conversations at the cafe he works at, although he gets scolded when he is caught staring. He also enjoys taking walks through the jungle-like streets and alleyways of Helios City, and when he's feeling contemplative he somehow finds himself at the old junkyard in his neighborhood. He has also taken it upon himself to befriend all of the neighborhood cats, creatures whose movement and behavioral patterns fascinate him and produce off-the-charts ratings on his cuteness analysis diagnostic. Little does he know that someone may be following him during his daily walks...
Appearance
His incomplete form is completely white with black joints and multiple visible seams and bolts on his body. There's a cable port on the back of his head hidden in his hair and a control panel of sorts on his chest. His hair is made from synthetic material and is a shiny black color. His eyes are a piercing, almost unnatural shade of blue, and if you're looking you may notice that they glow ever so slightly. His "complete" version is similarly pale, but his seams are covered up and his skin is blushed to give a more natural complexion.

Backstory
Brought to life for the first time in a bathtub in Simon's tiny Helios City apartment in the year 2X59, Nil had two reasons for having been created: satisfying Simon's scientific curiosity, and making him an awful lot of money. His early form lacks synthetic skin and thus reveals seams and bolts in his frame. His synthetic skin, which is blushed to give a more natural complexion, is later perfected by Simon's former college friend Hui-Ying. Once his humanoid form is complete, he is tasked with finding a job to help Simon gain a more steady income. Ideally he would work as a world-renowned astrophysicist, but considering his lack of credentials, he starts at the bottom of the ladder as a barista at a popular coffee shop chain.
Relations
Simon Nil has great admiration for him, seeing that he is his creator, and sees him as one of the few people whose intelligence matches or exceeds his own. Once romance is programmed into him, however, these feelings become... well, complicated.
Hui-Ying Her dry jokes sometimes go over his head, but he enjoys going out to bars with her and getting to learn about Simon's past from her. He often requests her to make him other various cosmetic modifications, to which she often refuses.
Merle Nil treats Merle courteously as he would any of his frequent visitors at his barista job. Although, he wonders why he feels the need to cover up so much, and he doesn't understand why he doesn't want to talk to him when he finds they're walking down the same path on the street...
