Tenth

A data analyst at FORT. Generally cheerful, he keeps a level head about his position despite not often receiving good news. His creator didn’t leave a signature in his data, so no one’s really certain who built him...he doesn't seem to mind not knowing though, so long as he can be certain that he's being useful. Speaks often to Delta, which might lend a hand to his ease with handling bad news.

Tenth is a textbook example of the affects that Ennea’s crude metals have on Anti – between his brute strength, his slowed speech and actions, and his strange appearance, Tenth appears intimidating and brutish at first glance – but nothing could be further from the truth. He’s a gentle soul at heart, however, and doesn’t fault others for their initial perceptions of him. His slow manner makes him perfect at analyzing data thoroughly and never missing a detail, his measured speech and simple terms are easy for anyone to understand, his strength makes him a great help for anyone in the labs who needs heavy lifting done, and his appearance makes him easy to spot when he’s needed – or, these are the benefits he would list off to you of his current state if asked. He’s kind to a fault and does the best he can to make sure that everyone around him is comfortable, safe, and happy.

The truth of Tenth’s creator is that they erased their signature after he became mutated by the metals they had thought would enhance him. Everyone currently at FORT is aware of this…aside from Tenth himself, who only remembers his creator as a kind, parental figure who never treated him with anything but love. He assumes the metals are what erased their signature from his data, and no one has the heart to tell him the truth as Tenth is known to be very emotionally fragile when it comes to matters of his own past and the changes he’s undergone. He’s sensitive about who he’s become and wonders often about what he used to be like – unable to recall anything solid about his past or his sibling models.

He has to think a lot when he talks, and he isn't really great at social cues or interacting with others sometimes, but he's very kind and means well in all aspects.
