Bio
Slim was a quiet, shy kid with a deep obsession with engineering. When he was old enough to talk he was already taking apart small machines and staring at them for hours, reverse-engineering all different types of devices. As he grew, Slim was constantly developing small devices and mech-toys far beyond the abilities of anybody his age.

Slim remembers his father Eli as a rough, abusive man who Slim was afraid of his entire childhood. He has many haunting memories of Eli injecting himself with Echo and flying into a rage, destroying Slim’s creations and beating Slim until he fell unconscious.

When he was 10, Slim remembers the local military storming their quarters, arresting his father and taking Slim to their station. They told Slim that his father was a known terrorist who was planning on bombing an upcoming event. They charged Eli with crimes against The Order and sent him to the prison planet Wys. Slim was sent to a centre for re-education, an invasive form of memory scrubbing to apparently fix any indoctrination Slim may have experienced from his terrorist father. Shortly after re-education, Slim ran away from the complex and lived off the streets near where he grew up, building mech out of scraps and selling them at the Neon Markets.

Slim has a genetic defect that presents itself in his incredible height, and from a young age Slim taught himself how to blend into a crowd when necessary.

He is a kind and friendly individual, having undergone a great deal of interpersonal training during his re-education, and is incredibly empathic towards disadvantaged individuals. He has a decent network on the streets, and usually has someone to call on if he needs help.

He is a relatively competent fighter, though he prefers to keep his distance and use his creations during a confrontation. His height can also make him an obvious target. Due to his upbringing, Slim is hesitant to have someone by his side, preferring to go it alone instead of running the risk of getting too close to someone just to have them taken away.

He has a deep-set hatred for his father, although at the back of his mind he feels that there’s something he hasn’t quite figured out, something that he’s missing...
