JERICHO
A Gift and A Curse
Name:
Jericho Gault
Age:
Thirties
Occupation:
Science Officer aboard the Idleman
Homeworld:
Avelon
Species:
Human > Zoryan
Force Sensitivity:
Nonexistent
Height:
Five'ten
Personality, and Mental Augmentation:
Perhaps one of the truest members of the Idleman crew, Jericho is very nearly bound to the ship as much as the ship is bound to him. At first, Jericho appears to be an emotionless, goal-oriented android without a persona, despite the fact that he is almost entirely organic, save for the cybernetic implant in his head. Within this implant is one of the fastest processors that Badweather could innovate, a hard drive that rivals some of the best in the galaxy considering its physical size, and a wireless link communicator that allows him to sync with a paired system.
This implant, dubbed the Cerebral Processing Unit, which is a modernized version of the ancient Aj^6, not only allows Jericho administrative access to the Idleman's own computer system, archives, and processor, but allows him to use the communicative abilities of the ship. In this way, he can send messages, utilize holoprojectors to project holograms, and—when in range of a provider—can access the Holonet.
The only visual evidence of the implant is a synthetic panel at the back of his shaved head.
Underneath the mindless service and obedience, however, is a budding, dismantled identity struggling to surface. Constantly put in check by a program, Jericho's greatest battle is in his head, where his true identity is being suppressed by code. Despite being composed by some of the greatest minds of all of Badweather, Jericho is living proof that man has not yet even begun to understand how the brain works.

History:
Born Jericho Gault in the rugged city of Rubbletown, his childhood was humble and his familial bonds severed. A young Jericho wished to make a name for himself, whether to reach fame through politics or become a renowned scientist. His attempts at gaining a proper education, however, were met with failure. That, however, never curbed his hunger for knowledge. While he never really did receive the education he had desired, he had picked up a great deal of knowledge from public libraries and in the people he observed. Having moved to Badweather, he resorted to petty theft for survival.
One day, as a result of his curiosity, he witnessed a man get shot in an alleyway. As the killer left the scene, and Jericho approached the dying man, who handed him a single datachip. "Babel Industries." He choked, as he fell limp. Babel Industries, the biggest name in Badweather. The mining corporation that governed Badweather was the singlemost richest and powerful entity to live on Avelon. Yet somehow Jericho had been pulled into some plot, some greater conspiracy, than he could ever comprehend.
His curiosity ultimately overcame him as he investigated the incident, and endeavored to uncover the encrypted contents within the datachip. However, the man that was Jericho Gault disappeared not but a week later. It wasn't until an entire year following the incident when Jericho emerged, all traces of his history expunged, as the science officer to the Idleman, a ship owned and operated by Babel Industries of mysterious purpose. He had no memory, no identity. On record, Jericho was an android engineered from a disaster victim and the frontier of cybernetics. His virtually-connected brain was a marvel among scientists, surgeons, and biochemists alike, how an entire person could be snuffed out and replaced by pure efficiency.
What no one knew, however, was that despite their greatest advances, they could not curb his curiosity.
