Kaelan Viri was born in Neon Core, a bustling metropolis where fluorescent lights blaze through the perpetual night, and the skyline is dominated by towering holograms. An indigo-haired child prodigy, Kaelan quickly became known for their exceptional programming skills at an early age, often seen fixing gadgets and creating minor AI models with makeshift technology. Raised by a single mother who worked long hours in a digital marketplace, Kaelan's formative years were filled with solitude, the glow of computer screens being their constant companion. During their continuing education, Kaelan found themselves entrenched in the underbelly of Neon Core, teaming up with a ragtag group of fellow programmers who operated in the shadows, known as 'The Ghosts.' This underground network allowed them to hone their skills and push the boundaries of ethical programming, blurring the lines between creation and chaos. Despite the thrill, Kaelan felt an innate desire to make technology that serves humanity, pushing them further away from the underground operations.
