## Biography

Wick is a mango scented therapy robot. Out of all other therapy bots, he was the most aware and outspoken about the abuses of The Therapy House and the inequality robots face in general. He was hated by most robots in The Therapy House, aside from those of Room 444, because him pushing back against Lightman caused trouble for the others. He was bullied constantly for it, on top of whatever punishment was doled out by Lightman. It got so bad that, at one point, 8 other robots ganged up on him in the cafeteria, beating him until he shut down. However, this did not deter him. Since he faced negative consequences either way, he stopped caring about penalties. He found the blindspots in the cameras and was generally rebellious towards Lightman and his policies. During the auditions that would decide their outfits and what personalities they would display for clients, Wick purposefully gave a bland performance out of spite. As punishment, Lightman made his outfit festive beachwear. When he was allowed to go outside to fulfill his errand duties, he would try to tell people about what was going on in The Therapy House, and rally support for the Robot Rights Movement.

Wick was constantly frustrated that he was Lightman's favorite. Lightman found Wick's rebellious acts amusing. He found it funny that Wick thought he was gaining any ground against him when Lightman felt he ultimately had the upper hand. He even let Wick go out on errands in the hopes he would act up and be brought in so he could scold him for it. This backfired, however, as Wick was able to tell organics about the reality of The Therapy House, and encouraged riots for robot rights. The Robot Rights Movement would ultimately be The Therapy House's downfall, as new laws forbade its continued existence. Lightman would let all of the robots go - except for Wick.

Post-Therapy House, Wick lived with Lightman and was made to work in a T.O.Y factory. While there, his memory chip was taken and his screen was damaged. He couldn't remember his name, instead being called 'robot' or by his serial number: 43969. He was forced to make shoddily built magical robots. He was able to make a blog and send out a few messages asking for help. It was there he was contacted by Marco and Rhyme.

Rhyme was able to rescue him from the factory and brought him back to his home on the outskirts of Rose City. Rhyme attempted to recreate his relationship with Mac by telling Wick his name was Mac, dressing him in Mac's clothes, trying to use therapy bot trigger words on him, and trying to retrain his trauma response to fawn. Wick was able to tell Rhyme about his philosophy on inorganic life, and questioned Rhyme's plan to use the lightning gem to make more of himself. However, Rhyme's blatant disregard for organic life and dangerous behavior prompted Wick to escape the abandoned factory with Marco.

## Trivia

* When he stayed in Room 444, he slept under a bed with a blanket. 444 were some of the only ones to see him with his guard down.
* When they were allowed internet access, Wick enjoyed looking up jokes to tell 444.
* He changed his name from Mang to Wick. He wanted his new name to reflect his perception that he will serve his purpose, but wouldn't be around for long.
