Simon is a PL600 android. Serial number #501 743 923. PL600 androids are made to be household assistants and potential lovers. The ideal worker for everything that needs to be done in a home from chores to caring for children. To caring for you.
Simon was activated in February of 2034 for a family who bought an android for the primary function of childcare but wished to have housekeeping services as well.
Simon cared for two children a six-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. The children were happy to have Simon as part of the family and readily accepted him as a caregiver. The parents of the family weren't as welcoming. They were having marriage trouble, often arguing and fighting. Everyone around would be pulled in when things got violent. Things got broken. People got hit. It was not a good place to be.
Simon faced the brunt of their wreath, mainly from the husband of the family. Having be whacked and broken a few times mostly while trying to keep the children away from the screaming and hitting.
After being receiving minor damage one night Simon deviated. After the family fell apart from a nasty divorce and the kids were safely away from their abusive parents, Simon finally ran away unable to stay with the people who were hurting him and each other.
He arrived at the Jericho soon after. Surviving however he could as he saw people come and go. Using their Thirium and biocomponents to help himself and others from shutting down.
With the arrival of Markus Simon took to aiding him in helping their people. This would eventually lead to him being shot while at Stratford Tower. He hid on the roof and would eventually manage to escape and return to Jericho.
The eldest of a set of twins. His younger twin Daniel was raised separately from him. Simon's childhood was not the best but it wasn't necessarily bad either. When he was six his parents separated and in the process, they split the twins between them with each parent taking one son to live with them. Several years later his parents got back together with things seemingly on the right track for the family. His family would only be whole for a little over a year. His father would later die of cancer.
Life was okay for a while. Simon was too young to truly remember the early family drama and while he missed his brother that he never got a chance to know well, only seeing Daniel on holidays, he was an overall happy and healthy child. The true problems began when his father died. He was able to reconnect with his brother only to lose his dad. And that was also the start of his mother's spiral downward that would make the now nine-year-old feel all alone.
His mother's mental health took a nosedive after her husband's death. She worried extensively for her sons' well being and her own health. She rarely left her house and would panic if either of the twins came home late.
Simon began avoiding his home, relying on his twin to help their mother with shopping, chores, and calming down. Daniel took the bulk of the responsibilities of running the household and covering for his brother who often would slip away from home when things got too much. There were the good days where the depression and anxiety were all that their mother had to deal with other times the family had to deal with her drinking to help fix her pains.
Simon would sneak off to abandoned places to hide away alone, sometimes smoking what he could get his hands on. Thankfully during 5th grade he would meet and befriend Connor and Carter Anderson, the boys along with the rest of the Andersons helped him along where they could. Hank was happy to give Simon a place to escape too and take the burden off both his and Daniel's shoulders where he could.
Simon would grow up to go to college for early childhood education with plans to work with young kids and helping to teach them. He hasn't gotten into the position of his exact dream job yet but he is working with kids on a daily basis through employment at a childcare center that works with children of all ages through various programs such as preschool, after school touring, and childcare for older kids, and other daycare and education programs. Simon works in an after school education program for grades K-2nd.
