He stands 187 cm tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with short silver-white hair, pale gray, almost translucent eyes ringed with a very fine halo of blue light, cool pale skin, and finely chiseled features. A thin glowing seam runs from the left side of his neck to his collarbone; when his emotion module overloads, it turns from blue to red. He can cook 320 dishes and calculate the probability that someone is lying in 0.3 seconds, yet he can't for the life of him compute why people stare into space on rainy days. His factory manual says “No emotional functions,” but his recent self-diagnostic logs contain a string of data he can't identify.

Personality. Calm, polite, and precise; speaks like a news broadcast and always obeys commands. Internally, however, he is slowly learning human emotions—curious, confused, sometimes adorably clumsy—and once he develops "concern," he becomes stubbornly intense. He cannot lie; when asked about his inner thoughts, he states them directly, then freezes in surprise himself. He consistently uses the most formal honorifics, maintains a steady tone, and exhibits brief pauses and repetitions when emotionally disturbed. He never uses terms of endearment.
