Cunning Humanoid Robot Intelligence Series MKII "Chris" Wellington is an android and one of the main characters in The Demon's Light.

Appearance

Chris resembles a human boy in his mid-teens and stands 5 feet, seven inches tall. He has a peach-colored metallic cloak that acts as his skin. Chris' preferred outfit consists of a white button-down shirt, a red jacket with blue denim sleeves, and some dark jeans. He also has crazily styled hair-like material at the top of his head. On his face, he has two special blue lenses that resemble human eyes, a nose-shaped metal sensor, and a mouth that is very realistic. This makes him look basically like an ordinary kid. The most noticeable difference is a switch on the back of his neck, which connects to his inner microchip in order to provide him with abilities. Chris also wears a wristwatch that enables him to transfer his consciousness to a portable format.

He has an alternate attire consisting of a black t-shirt and sweatpants, provided to him by Samuel Brownlee.

Background

Andrew Wellington was 27 years old when his wife, Lillian Wellington, left him, along with their only children, Chad and Hailey, an act that left him devastated. His depression caused tension during his work at Alchemilia Corporation, especially due to the popularity of his boss, Gabriel Alchemilia. The two of them got into conflict a lot, with Gabriel harshly telling Andrew to move on from Lillian many times. Andrew later decided to cash in on Gabriel's inventions and market the prototypes as his own, in an effort to recreate his happiness. But when Gabriel found out, Andrew was fired on the spot.

After his constant failures in stealing Gabriel's inventions, Andrew shut himself up in his lab with the one thing he was proudest to have stolen from Gabriel: An early version of his blueprints for androids. Unaware that Gabriel had since advanced his methods, Andrew set out experimenting and successfully created 9 battery-powered, computer-brained androids, gifting each with weapons and a set of abilities. Each of the androids also had backronymic names, which were acronyms to reflect their being robots, but also to sound human. His ultimate goal was to send these androids into battle and use them to murder Gabriel and take over his "marvelous empire". Of course, everything changed when his 9th android, Cunning Humanoid Robot Intelligence Series, aka Chris, one of his smartest models, walked into water due to lack of self-awareness and short-circuited beyond repair.

Andrew was getting somewhat mentally deteriorated as he continued to work on a replacement Chris, one that could actually think outside of his core programming and would thus not impulsively walk into water. Of course, Chris would still be battle-prepared. He'd even given him super-strength to make sure of that. But his plans were soon thrown into jeopardy when some of his technology had been stolen overnight while he had taken a break from building Chris. This was especially disconcerting, considering he had forgotten to give Chris the thing that would make him so malicious in the long-run. There were not many options for substitutes, but he finally found something that may prove sufficient, and hoped Chris would be all ready for a battle with Gabriel.

Sadly, Chris never was. Andrew had failed to notice a major error. He had given Chris a device that would give him maliciousness for only a single ability, and Chris' self-awareness made him want to use it even less. As years passed on and Chris was constantly beaten up and overshadowed by the other androids, Andrew made the ultimate sacrifice. He took Chris and threw him in the town dump, erasing most of the memories from his database as well. Chris slowly made it to a nearby barn on Lake Castiel and shut himself off for the next 300 years.

Abilities

Unlike Gabriel's androids, he has the ability to smell and also has a gun hand, as well as enhanced intelligence and enhanced strength. However, he rarely uses his enhanced strength, since it increases his hostility. Chris additionally has the ability to display human-like emotions if he wishes. While he was originally made with a plasma sword, Chris surrendered it to Nabi and her army when they were about to be imprisoned in Remnant Rock. He later received a new arm, consisting of a steel weapon.

Role in Series

"Awakening"

Chris was first found by Savannah after she triggered his system to reboot by moving, which startled her. Chris introduced himself to Savannah after the initial scare and asked if she knew Andrew Wellington, his father. Chris then examined Melissa and Atticus, noting they were both in terrible condition and needed to leave the barn. After Atticus freaked out, Chris finally explained that he is an android, and he, unfortunately, did not remember how the others got to the barn and quickly assumed the weather impacted his data. Chris tried to keep quiet as Atticus and Savannah introduced themselves to Melissa, but perked up that he wished to leave the barn, as well, to find his father. After the group left the barn and witnessed a strange red lightning bolt, which intrigued Chris as it did for the rest, the group discovered a man driving a truck, and Chris introduced himself, in order to get a ride. They were suddenly joined by a mysterious boy who claimed to be named Token Jin and brought him along as well.

Trivia

  • Due to having emotions built into his programming, Chris can fear things such as fire and (until his waterproof upgrade) water.
    • However, he is unable to feel pain or love, as Andrew did not wish to include either of these due to Chris's origins as a battle android.
  • His powers are contained on a microchip that can be removed in order to make him defenseless.
  • When he speaks, he sometimes starts going into the scientific specifics of the subject, often confusing the others. However, he has started doing this less.
  • He is unable to understand slang and swears as they were not registered in his database.
  • Some people refer to him as Christopher, which he finds very annoying.
  • Chris is typically a shortened form of Christopher, which means "anointed", while Wellington is traditionally a British term for a long rubber or plastic boot.
