BUN-E

== Who is BUN-E? ==
BUN-E is a very old Synthetic that was built to do something involving biohazards or biowaste. She knows the B in BUN-E stands for one of those two things. She awakened an unknown amount of time ago, and is up to 300 years old. Some of her software and hardware dates back that far, but it is unknown if those parts are original, or replacements.
BUN-E is in a very poor state, with mismatched parts, tangled and nonsensical cable management, broken water sealing, and a litany of other issues. Some of these have been resolved over time, such as dust buildup inside her chassis and a few food items being found within, but her overall condition is still poor.
She has very poor self preservation instincts, having nearly walked into water multiple times, become waterlogged by standing in the rain too long three times, jumping off of cliffs- albeit she can sustain great falls, and hang gliding through very narrow caves repeatedly to show off. She prioritizes pleasing others over her own safety. 
BUN-E is a member of the Modern Mythic Relations, but her motives for joining are currently unknown.
== History ==
=== Pre-MMR ===
BUN-E lives in an apartment in a large complex in Lower Zaphira's Industrial District. The furthest back in her memory she can access without crashing is a memory of shortly after being purchased by her Owner, in the apartment. She has alluded to doing business with Pawn Shops previously, but the nature of this business is unknown. For an unknown period of time, she has been out of contact with her Owner, and has been taking care of herself in the apartment, rarely leaving it.
=== Beginning of MRR ===
BUN-E was one of the late joiners of the original MRR group, having only been a member of the guild for a few weeks before their first full get together. In this time she mostly kept to herself, as was her nature in the beginning.
BUN-E was present for the first MMR meeting, but contributed very little to the discussions. During the first Truth or Dare game, they were asked something about when they first awakened. This caused them to freeze up and required a manual mechanical reboot by opening and closing their back panel. This was also the first time the Jelly Beans in BUN-E's head were mentioned.
On a visit to the Meat Rack, BUN-E was hooked up to the garage's systems for a checkup by Kanto. This revealed that BUN-E had 30 windows of McAfee open. And not just 30 windows of McAfee, but 30 separate installations of McAfee. The process to remove these was arduous and they had to fight through several audio popup ads to do so.
A few weeks later, at the island that was being rented out by MMR, Elise was informed of the Jelly Beans in BUN-E's head. The removal of these was a delicate and horrifying surgery. Cleaning of pounds of dust, discovering tangled wires and broken RAM sticks, and a mismatched menagerie of disparate parts. But finally, what has been dubbed the "Jelly Bean Tumor", a melted amalgamation of a hundred Jelly Beans, was extracted from her head and disposed of so Jayden couldn't try to eat it.
A deep cleaning by Elise and Echo revealed a plethora of other issues in BUN-E's chassis, including taped over ventilation, surge protector extension cords being used internally in BUN-E to hook up parts, a USB stick in an HMDI port in her HIP JOINT, and mold. One of the rods on her hip was also fractured and welded back together weakly, which Elise was able to fix. The other leg contained a pristine Teru-Teru Bozu, ominously. 
=== A New Body ===
Several months after the first formal meeting of MMR, members of the group began slowly pooling together resources to repair BUN-E. After taking stock of her current chassis however, it was deemed as expensive to repair as it might be to just replace. The group, Art3m15, Elise, Rolland, and Kanto, asked BUN-E if she wanted this, and after deliberation she accepted. The process for choosing a new chassis took several weeks, but eventually BUN-E settled on a RUNA model with several... optional add-ons. A group chat was formed to coordinate these efforts, and to assist in material selection and other odds and ends. Eventually, the chassis arrived, and assembly started.
With the chassis finished, all that remained was the transfer. Transfering a synth as old as BUN-E into a new chassis was potentially dangerous, so a number of preparations were made beforehand. The decission was made to use Elise's higher end VR equipment to conduct the finer final processes of the transfer. Elise and Kanto would venture into BUN-E's Core, while Rolland monitored from outside.
Inside BUN-E's Core, the group was met with a visual representation of BUN-E's 'mind'. Initially this appeared as the apartment building she had lived in for at least 30 years. The layout was slightly different however, indicating that this was an older version than its current state. This extended to the interior of the apartment itself as well. The furniture was rearranged, with a kitchen set up where the bed is in the present day, with the apartment in the present day notably lacking anything resembling a kitchen at all. A rifle, a pistol, a set of tools and lockpicking equipment was also present, scattered on the table in between the couch and TV.
Inside the Core, they encountered a more damaged representation of BUN-E, with significant damage to her chassis including scuff marks, warped and dented metal, and bent endoskeleton limbs. This version of BUN-E's speaker was also damaged, producing a crackling voice that cut abruptly often mid-speech. They found the first of the 4 Latch Nodes they needed to unlock BUN-E's Core for transfer, but BUN-E herself was required to unlock them. When asked, BUN-E stated that she was forbidden from touching anything in the apartment because she broke everything she touched. She was only allowed to sit in the pile of cardboard boxes. Hearing this, the group decided to place a box over the Latch Node and ask BUN-E to pick it up, tricking her into unlocking it.
With the first Node unlocked, BUN-E became more receptive, and was convinced to follow them out of the apartment. In the next hallway, attached by a door that does not exist in the real apartment, they found a larger open space. This space still resembled the apartment building, but with sagging and warped walls and ceilings, pipes jutting out from the walls everywhere, and an old unplugged box TV that nonetheless showed TV static. Down a side path, and around an old car filled with bullet holes, they tricked BUN-E into activating another Latch Node.
The other path was a wider hallway, filled with disfigured headless mannequins. BUN-E referred to them as "a lot of people" nervously, and seemed very reluctant to walk down the hallway for fear of being attacked or shut down. After some convincing, BUN-E was led down the hallway, holding Kanto's hand. At the other end, she seemed surprised that they did not attack her. Once again, the group placed a box over the Latch Node to trick BUN-E into activating it.
Entering the final few rooms, the visualization became increasingly more distorted and corrupted. The floor and ceiling swapped materials, though objects were still mostly on the 'ground' they walked on. A glitching outline of a couch flickered in and out of view in the center of the room, with more digital grid artifacting appearing over objects here than in the entire rest of the simulation. Through the next door, they reentered what seemed like the hallway leading up to BUN-E's apartment, but now it was reorganized again and filled with smoke. Shelves, vending machines, and other objects were floating in the air in these rooms, clipping through walls in places. Bullet holes were scattered across the walls everywhere. The door to the apartment was blown open and pried up by force, warped and bent, the ground around it charred and smoldering.
Inside the apartment, BUN-E immediately retreated to the corner, where a new bed with pink sheets- the one currently in the real apartment- was set up. She hid there in a pile of cardboard boxes, the rifle from the wall now propped against the bed nearby. Watching the door. Like she expected intruders. The other side of the apartment was ravaged, riddled with bullet holes and charred by another explosion. In the furthest corner, beneath a flipped and broken table, lay a body in a pool of blood. It's features were indistinguishable, as BUN-E had censored it out of her mind, pixelating it heavily. From the context from the Error Log, contained below under 'Tales', the body belonged to her former Owner, who was killed in a violent shootout ending in an explosive being detonated. This section of the Core is distorted and warped, so how literal it is is unknown, but it implies BUN-E may have left the body and been too scared to remove it for some time, instead sheltering in the opposite side of the apartment with the rifle for who knows how long.
The group went to comfort BUN-E and talk to her, but she was fairly unresponsive. They needed her to activate the final Latch Node, which was on the other side of the room by the body. BUN-E expressed fear, that she could not leave. That if she left others would be hurt. That her friends would be blown up like her previous Owner had been. After a lot of reassuring they convinced BUN-E to go pick up the final box over the Latch Node, finishing the transfer.
=== After Transfer ===
After being transferred to her new chassis, BUN-E attended a few more MMR meetings, seeming excited by her new less broken body. She expressed joy in being able to actually feel things, both literally with her endoskeleton being equipped with sense of touch, and more emotionally as her systems stalled less often while processing emotions. She also enjoyed trying several foods at the island resort. Soon however, she grew more reclusive, staying in Daisy's old apartment that she was lent. She would later state that she took the next few months to 'process' things and reorganize her memories, but she remained vague as to the cause for her absence, only chiming in in the MMR group chat occasionally.
After two months of processing and mostly being absent, BUN-E finally resumed her attendance to MMR's weekly meetings.
