Simon

Personality

Simon is, frankly, a bit of an oddball. Aside from his numerous quirks (such as wearing the same shirt every day and functioning on 3 hours of sleep daily with seemingly no setbacks), he has a sizable ego and is very much money-hungry. His negative traits are not helped by the fact that he is also a genius who is capable of making inventions at the forefront of technological advancement using mostly whatever he finds at the junkyard. In more positive terms, he tends to keep his ego to himself unless he's riled up enough, and his friends admire him for his honesty, passion, and his non-judgemental attitude towards those he meets.

On a day-to-day basis, Simon can probably be found making adjustments to Nil, his multi-functional, near-sentient android invention or doing research into how he can increase Nil's emotional and mental capabilities. His room is cluttered with bits of scrap metal he thinks he can use as well as cola cans due to his soda addiction. Simon pays his rent from using the profits of some coding environments and websites that he's designed himself -- all which are behind paywalls, of course. Now that he's designed an android with human-like capabilities, his plan is to send him off to do various jobs for him, at least doubling his income.

Despite the undesirable grades he attained throughout his grade school years, he attained a scholarship at one of the nation's top universities on a full scholarship due to his incredible test scores and impressive projects done outside of school. While he achieved average grades in college (never did the homework but aced the tests anyway) and was midway through completing a double major in Electrical Engineering and Linguistics, he decided to drop out and pursue these topics on his own. His engineering background has aided him in coming up with smart designs for Nil's build, and his linguistics background has allowed him to tune Nil's speech capabilities to be as lifelike as possible.

Appearance

His build reflects his amount of exercise, which is very little; he could probably be described as "skinny-fat," but his shoulders are relatively broad. His hair is a brassy color and is parted down the middle. He is essentially blind without his glasses and refuses to wear a smarter pair than the round ones he owns, let alone switch to contact lenses. 90% of the time he can be found wearing a white T-shirt and khakis, each of which he owns exactly two pairs, along with one pair of tennis shoes.
