## Biography

Although he was an orphan for 15 years of his life as a result of him being trashed by his own father/creator all the way until he became an adult, Tama still remains to be one of the most kind hearted soul while also being one of the more timid members of his current family. You can find him learning about the vast world around him to learn all about what he has missed as a result for being shut off as a result of him being trashed, another thing you can more often see him doing is trying to find information about his father.

## Personality

Tama is a kind, though sometimes shy and timid, fellow who is often seen to be a nerd when it comes to media from the 80’s and 90’s, such as Tamagotchi, and the days of the Gameboy, the NES and the SNES, though he does like his fair share of modern stuff and just finds 90’s media to be more in line with his comfort zone. Tama, being the kind hearted soul that he is, is willing to open up to anyone as long as they don’t make fun of his struggles over the years or set off his habit of going into fight or flight, often running away from danger when it comes towards him, such as a large katamari rolling towards him. However, Tama is also autistic and easily gets stressed out and can easily go into fight or flight mode, which is why he carries around his comfort object of choice, a plush of the Tamagotchi Mametchi, which he has given the name of Mamey for whenever his emotions get the better of him and he needs to calm down.

## Backstory

Tama's creator started on his rough drafts on 11/23/05, however, knowing how much work was going to be needed on Tama to make him as perfect as he could possibly be, he wasn’t finished until the same day three years later, although Tama's coding wasn't perfect, as he had leftovers from a previous robot that had been canned as well as having autism from a coding error, and so, he was given a plush of the character Mametchi, which he nicknamed Mamey. But at that rate, Tama’s creator already had a daughter with his wife while Tama was being built and so he made the decision to shut Tama off and threw the poor soul in a warehouse where he slept in there for 15 years, not wanting to deal with another daughter, especially one that's a robot. And during that 15 year sleep, he did not have Mamey with him as the two met the fate of being separated, leaving Tama completely alone and the original Mamey being passed on to is creator’s daughter.

But when his body was finally recovered and shut back on by him by some kind construction men alongside with cousin Mag who were checking the warehouse one last time before they were going to get their crew and take it down, he had obtained a replacement of Mamey to help with his autism and his anxiety like the original, and also to help cheer him up from what had happened. And when the Royal family had heard about what happened to Tama, who was badly shaken up from the trauma, by the men and how he was trashed by his own father at such a young age, they decided to take Tama in as a part of the Royal family by adopting him. But, even with the idea of actually being part of a family, a large one at that, it doesn’t mean Tama thinks about his creator constantly and hopes of trying to reunite with him.

## Trivia

* The egg-like head Tama can actually be swapped out for other “shells” to help protect his machinery. This eggshell was created by his father and is often referred to as the “original shell”.
* The rest of Tama’s antenna is actually inside the shells, it’s attached to the power generator that makes him function.
* The main memory chip has data involving most stuff from the 80’s and 90’s, making Tama rather smart of what the 80’s and 90’s were like. This data was accidentally left over from a scrapped robot’s memory chip that Tama’s creator was going to create before getting replaced with Tama.
* Tama has a custom Gameboy Color with the color being of his screen, and his first game for the system was Tetris.
* Tama’s favorite song is “Network” from the 2001 game Bejeweled. He even has data in one of his chips which can make him play a NES-like version of the song.
* Tama is not one for romantic relationships or gore, and any mention of either causes Tama to feel ill with a chance of him fainting.
