Hey Dakota could you do a more in depth explanation of Xenon's backstory, like how the ai was uploaded in his brain? 🥺
I definitely don't need it for a fic I'm planning of him suffering WHO SAID THATTTT
xenon was raised in a pretty normal household, no major rules. they actually probably had the best childhood out of every kemal in acm (blooms life improved sometime when was 9+). and his parents supported him no matter what and whatever he decided to do, as long as he was happy, they were happy.
his life all went downhill at adulthood, when he was kidnapped by a group of scientists who wanted to use him. they tried to co-erce him into working with them (when he was first kidnapped) as they were pretty intelligent and a researcher (not famous, but well respected) but he declined many times, even if they said they would stop experimenting on him. so then they finalized their choice and experimented on him (they were gonna do something tame, but after h repeatedly refused, they one-upped their project and made him suffer more, they probably beat him too to add more salt onto the wound)
they were brought to a seperate room and hooked up to many wires, the scientists tried to ask him one final time if he regrets his choice and he never responded. then it happened, a shockwave went down his body and almost electrocuted him. the ai had been uploaded to his brain.
but the ai couldnt reside in mortal flesh, it wasnt meant to thrive there, every step and movement and breath hurt both of them and the scientists realized this when one day they became fully unresponsive. so they added some modifications onto his body (robotic parts) so the ai can at least thrive there, but the damage had been done for the most part. he was in extreme pain even after the modifications and the ai had to take control of his body many times for 'check-ups' and more experiments. if anything xenon felt like he was just watching his body be used while he rotted away in the back of his mind
