## History

### Early Life

Little is known about Crest's life before joining the Ark Foundation's experiment. Sometime before the game, he served in the military. All history of his time has been wiped clean.

### The Ark Foundation

Crest was one of eighty students invited to participate in a four-week paid experiment ran by the Ark Foundation, an organization whose main focus was unlocking the potential for humans to reach the peak in their respective fields. At an unknown point in time, Crest and fifteen other Ultimates attempting to board their flights were kidnapped by Jakob Nowak, an instructor who worked with the Ark Foundation. Sometime later, Crest woke up on the Ark, the main location for the experiment. After he woke up, Crest and Asi started to explore the ship's med bay. During their investigation, Yan Luong joined them, and tried to break down a gate blocking the store room, though his attempts failed and instead injured him.

Soon after Akio concludes his investigations, an anonymous announcement gathered everyone to the function room on the first floor. At arrival, they met a trio who called themselves "The Siren's". They then revealed everyone would be forced to participate in a killing game, otherwise they would never be able to leave the ship. After they explained the rules of the game and class trial's, everyone split up for the day.

## Talent and Abilities

### Ultimate Robotics Engineer

A child prodigy and a genius within the robotics field, Crest has been hired by governments and companies all across the world to create highly advanced AI. Sometime before joining the Ark Foundation's experiment, Crest developed a highly-advanced AI known by Asi, or Asimov. His most advanced AI to date, Asi helps Crest with expressing his emotions for him, and is possibly able to talk as well. In addition to this, Asi was able to quickly scan the function room for C4 explosives, and seems to have the capability to shoot people, although whether he actually can or whether it was a joke is not yet clear.

## Creation and Development

Crest's talent was originally the Ultimate Engineer, but it was later changed as Voncreep felt it was too similar to Kazuichi's talent. Before creating Asi, the creator was considering giving "Crest" cybernetic enchantments to his limbs/one of his eyes to show his talent. In his original design Crest wore a blue scarf rather than his cybernetic mask, a sleeveless white shirt, and a sleeveless blue jacket. In addition to this he had bandages wrapped around his left wrist, and wore a toolbelt with various pieces of equipment.

## Trivia

* Crest struggles to properly display emotions. This is what led him to create Asi, who displays emotions for him so people feel less awkward around him.
* Crest wears dog tags from his time in the military, though neither are his.
* His voice is partially modulated from the mask he wears.
* Asi was inspired by Snowball from Overwatch.
* In his introduction the player is able to choose how to deal with a locked gate, if the player sides with Yan, Crest is shown to be apathetic to the idea Akio and Yan could blow themselves up.
* Crests uses his former code name from his time in the army in leu of his real name.
