Background


World Information:
Eclipse Phase - Pre Fall

He was 'born' in 2065, created by Samatek corp as a guardian / companion creature for a girl named Alice. He is property of Alice and her father.

Character Background:
Mr. Mittens was created as a companion / guardian for a girl named Alice. A custom order by her father, Horace Mane, who wanted someone purely biological that would be loyal to Alice through thick and thin. Somatek was commissioned to create the creature and chose the lion template due to it's deep-set family and societal tendencies, while also packing in a compact form.

Mittens, as Alice lovingly named him, is the 211th Prototype in this project - and the one that by far was the most successful in bonding with Alice. The biological programming was very specific to her, with everything from hormonal profiles to mental programming essentially wired to ensure the positive upbringing of the target of the bond. This proved to be intensely successful, at least on the biological side. A whole slew of upgrades were planned as Mittens grew older, as can be evidenced by the many scars along his body.

These upgrades included inserting a basic mesh with his ID (completed at 1 year old), redundant heart and micro-organs in the rear torso (completed at 2 years old), advanced adrenal system (phase 1 of 3 completed in year 3), advanced musculature to rip through bones (completed at year 4), inbuilt weaponry including Titanium claws (planned for year 5), storage compartments (planned for year 6) and a facility to carry a cortical stack in his mane (completed in year 4). These measures - especially the last - were needed to help protect and support Alice.

Alice Mane was the daughter of Horace Mane, CEO of one of the hyper corporations on Earth before the fall. Alice was a young 20 year old woman at the time of Mitten's inception. She is disabled, having suffered significant mobility impairments and mental function degradation due to an incident involving experimental psionics. She goes through regular treatment to keep herself mentally and physically able but is slowly deteriorating and will likely die at the age of 30 or 40. Mittens was meant to keep her company, as Horace had to keep the company running in order to further research and discover a cure to her condition.

Over the years, the pair have formed a close and emotional bond, relying on each other for support and happiness. They are a loving, emotional couple in many ways - while Mitten's strength and resilience has kept her safe from those that would try to kidnap or use her against her father. That was at least, till a migrant came in and snatched him away to the realm of infinitas.
