THE FOUNDER OF MEMMORI
Born with a congenital brain tumor, They were bestowed with a first generation bioelectric Memplant, which substituted some key frontal-parietal neurofunction. Though the operation was a success, damage to Their cranial nerve was irrepairable; Their left eye would never open.
Expected to die within the week, They proved stubborn even as an infant, surviving two bouts of pneumonia, the outset of the Canam Civil War, and a traffic accident that tragically claimed the lives of Their parents.

As a child, They enjoyed rewiring household appliances, building birds out of plastic and scrap metal, and composing classic hard rock hits. [x] By age seven, They were addressing conferences worldwide on bioelectric neuroscience, the benefits of memtec integration, and Joan Jett’s Runaways Era.
They were a prodigy in many ways and an upset in others, professing truths about The Way It Is that were not widely accepted at the time.
In 2100, They established the MemNET, which allowed three members to transmit and receive memories for the first time. Alongside Their revolutionary memplant redesigns, they introduced a biosensor program that detects tiny traces of cancer in the body, as well as a subroutine that...
