Profile

Also known as Quint Wily, or RKN002, but usually just called Quint. Quint is an android, for those able to tell, though he usually passes himself off as a human when in unfamiliar territory. He doesn't mind a great deal if the charade falls apart, though, as long as it doesn't interfere with his 'mission'.

Quint was created by a mad scientist for the primary purpose of destroying said mad scientist's primary enemy... and built out of parts of an alternate of that enemy from a future that now won't ever happen. (Hey, I did say the scientist in question was mad.) There were other sources as well, a total of five, hence his being named after the musical term Quintet. His secondary purpose was going to be to take a time machine to the future and steal information and technology for his master. Due to one of the other sources of stolen parts, he also a very good cook and housekeeper. The memories of those 'previous lives' were locked down by Dr. Wily, but resurfaced around the time of the crazy old man's death... leading to Quint doing the best he could to make certain the future he 'remembered' would never come to pass. He picked up an odd hodge-podge of helpful skills along the way. One of the more useful has been first aid for both humans and his own kind. One of the least useful later on was a patch of blacksmithing lessons, but it was a good way to relieve stress...

Some years later, and after a world war and instances of near-genocide, Quint's own universe of origin is finally enjoying a state of peace... or as close as things ever get to it. Quint does his part to help out at home by indulging a modification of his secondary function - he travels to different universes to explore, learn, and bring the information (and sometimes a few souvenirs or plant/small animal samples) home to his very extended family.

He always has a backpack with him when travelling. It contains storage containers for samples, pawnable items in case he needs cash in that universe (enough to where he could be mistaken for a young burglar), cash if he's pawned anything, at least one e-tank, a repair kit, an emergency first aid kit for organics, a large baggie of homemade cookies, and often a packed lunch.

Externally, he looks like a human boy - small for his age if he's supposed to be ten, occasionally mistaken for as young as seven. He's really older, but doesn't think that matters much. He has a trace of an accent, an odd blend of German with a hint of Japanese. Physical contact can give hint that he's not human, as he's a bit less 'squishy' than an organic would be. Also his body weight is slightly heavier than would be expected, and the body's heat distribution is different than a human's would be. Shaking hands with him, he'd feel slightly cool, but not abnormally so. Just enough to make very observant people possibly notice. The differences were a lot greater before various 'upgrades' during the war. Other upgrades over the years means his body will simulate blushing if he is embarrassed, and that he can eat and process organic foods - all to more greatly help him pass for human when he needs to.
