### **Project Z:**

Before Sheridan worked under Porter and Lucks a younger Sheridan was a gifted maker in robotics. Wanting to become famous and change history by creating the prototype of what would be called Reploids. Project Z: Also known as DWN-∞: ZERO or simply Zero. Who was intended to be Sheridan's greatest creation. However due to an error in his coding Zero was to violent and Sheridan took him apart and shut the project down. Who would later be reawakened 19 years later.

### **Umbrella And DEOXIA:**

Despite his failure at creating the perfect machine, he was hired by the Umbrella Corporation took spear head creating a weapon for them using organic tissue as well as artificial from an odd triangle shaped meteorite which was none other then a dormant Deoxys. Learning from his work on Zero and using Umbrella's resources along with Deoxys it's self, he created the humanoid Alien/AI fusion called Deoxia. Despite his success on the project, he was let go after Deoxys breached containment destroying the lab and causing Deoxia to be lost getting brain damage from hitting her head. Forgetting the first part of her name and calling herself Xia.

### **Lucian Porter And Project Blue:**

Sheridan wouldn't be down for long because soon after that he made his way back to his home town of Silica City. Which had grown into a futuristic metropolis in the years he'd been gone. He'd contact his old friend Lucian for a job soon becoming the lab assistant of Dr. Lucian Porter who's company had become one of the biggest on Earth. He eagerly showed Lucian a special program he was working on fusing AI and human minds together later dubbed "Project Blue." After Lucian's oldest daughter Lucinia wanted to volunteer he saw this as too risky and had it shut it down causing Sheridan to snap. He then quit taking all records and data on Project Blue and offered Lucinia the chance to change the world with him. She accepted leaving Porter Industries to TASCORP, a rival tech firm. Working under a man called Derek Lucks who planned to use Sheridan's work as his own to become famous and save his failing business. Setting up Project Blue there he began the experiment with Lucinia and the new T.A.R.I. AI he invented. However, something went wrong and the AI fused with Lucinia creating a new lifeform as well as indirectly being the cause of Lucinia's death.

### **Tari:**

Sheridan was presumed dead but somehow survived the lab explosion destroying half his face and giving him powers causing his insanity. A now VERY mentally unstable and half charred Sheridan locked himself away in his secret hideout and private lab where the body of the abandoned Zero had been moved. After an unknown amount of time he finally finished what started as Project Blue. Originally what was created to be an AI helper had been given a human body. Using his experience on BOTH Zero and Deoxia he was able to do what many had attempted but none were able to fully succeed at... Create the perfect Artificially made human AI. The Turbo Artificial Rapid Intelligence that would come to be known as Tari.

### **Birth Of C.O.D.E.C. And Death Of Lucks And Masa:**

Much time after Tari's creation and joining of the group known as MD-5, Sheridan, now going under the aliases such as "C.O.D.E.C.", "NEO" and "P.A.R.A.D.O.X." Among various others managed to have Masa (a member of the group at the time) kill Derek Lucks. The man who ruined him. By sneaking a microchip into his arm so he could control it from afar, knowing the group was on their way to TAS Corp to take Lucks down. He succeeded in this goal however due to a miscalculation, just like with Zero years before. Something went horribly wrong. The chip caused Masa's arm to overload killing him and seemingly killing Sheridan, who was near the blast.

### **The Maverick Virus And Zero's Reawakening:**

Yet again, Sheridan somehow cheated death his insanity now beyond it's limits. But not his mind. Out of sheer hatred finding out Lucian had found the old blueprints for Zero as well as Tari, he found out Lucian had used both blueprints to create the artificial humanoid species called Reploids. And had stolen his dream of changing the world. In his hatred and spite he created The Sheridan Virus. Which would later be called The Maverick Virus. Injecting it into Zero causing the gem on his forehead to glow with a yellow "S" for "Sheridan." However before he could reactivate Zero his lab was found and raided by Polaris causing him to yet again have to abandon his work. However, this time he was able to escape, and is at large as the worlds unknown threat.
