## Biography

### Early life

**Growing up**:

Devon was created as a result of the experimentation of Dr. Riemann on human embryos.

As a literal test tube baby, he was raised and trained at a place only referred to as "The Facility". Devon, referred to as Number 118, was lucky in the sense that he faced little hardship in comparison to other test subjects, e.g., "the number" or the children that were subject to various forms of testing in a lab-like location that committed intensive inhumane torture for experimentation. Devon's recollections of the events at the facility are fuzzy at best. All children at the facility were subject to frequent memory wiping. However, he was able to keep a record of the event by loosely describing the events that transpired in a journal. All thanks to his privileges, he was able to request special items and the staff's trust in him. Other luxuries he had included a room to himself and the ability to walk where he pleased, as most other people were limited in where they could go. This could be attributed to his unusual cooperation, unique power, which placed him in the upper echelon of numbers, and exceptional scoring on examinations. Even though the director and staff at the facility were more likely to accommodate his requests, life was not so sweet for him he still had to endure gruesome testing. Unsurprisingly, very few of the numbers had such privileges as him, with the notable exception of numbers 26 and 117, with whom he became friends. Numbers 26, 117, and 118 became close friends and would often spend free time at the library or in the courtyard of the facility together. As a token of there friendship and closeness,they all chose names for each other.

He was trained day by day to become an assassin. Due to his peculiar upbringing, quick thinking skills, and lack of familial relations. He became the prime choice, along with Number 26, to force "early retirements" on government officials or other high-profile targets. A notable mission was the assassination of the prior prime minister of England, theft of classified information from the royal parliament, and the accidental destruction of the London Bridge in the span of 3 days. Additionally, during this time period, Devon developed what would be a one-time-use Artificial Intelligence rootkit nicknamed "Lucius" for the hacking of the royal parliament server. Instead of disposing of the rootkit, he thought the idea was "pretty neat" and very much like a particularly charismatic billionaire virtual assistant, so he kept the development of the program ongoing post-mission.

After the death of his Childhood sweetheart by his own hands, he made a vow to himself that he would no longer be a slave obeying the all-mighty orders of the facility director. He, along with Numbers 26 and 117, devised a plan to escape the facility by overloading the onsite nuclear reactors. Which would force a lockdown at that time. Then, Devon, along with the two other numbers, infiltrated the master control room and manually overrode the controls to release all the numbers. He and the two others traveled across the facility to ensure that they could escape. From his recollections, it was described as "Absolute Bloody Chaos". Devon, along with the other numbers, had banked on the fact that the director would be unwilling to resort to violence or outright murder. They were terribly wrong; it is believed that no more than 30 of the numbers made it out alive out of the untold hundreds of children who died at the facility. However, it would have been significantly less if the head scientist did not have a change of heart to help the children escape. Tragically, 26 died of a fatal wound inflicted by the director as the three were escaping.

Devon and 117 were able to escape the facility and evade agents by means of hot-wiring a military vehicle and then driving to a remote part of Florida called Stonkstown.

### Present times

**Memelads Middleschool**: Devon did not do all that much during MemeLads Middle School phase. Prior to MemeLads he posed as an Amazon warehouse employee, through which he was able to embezzle a quarter million server racks. He was not caught but could not go back to "work" for Amazon, so he was forced to look for a line of work that could overlook his criminal background and lack of legal documentation. That is when he found MemeLads, a private school that did less than legal punishment with students and had a wacky take on schooling. Devon wasn't one to care; at the time, he was more focused on self-preservation and building his way up from his broken childhood. Most of the time was spent fishing or taking care of wounded or injured students at the school. There came a time when the students wished to overthrow the school by means of protest and revolution. It was at this time that he met Zemia and The Dark Arts Teacher. Zemia asked him whether or not he would be willing to support the students or the teachers. Unbeknownst to her, He had gone through very similar circumstances himself. He agreed to help the students, but by covert means, as he feared losing his job and suffering wrath from the other teachers and the principal. Soon after the events of the revolution, students were asked to graduate and attend Memelads Highschool.

**Memelads Highschool**:

**Phase 1**: After the events that transpired in MLMS Devon was approached by the Principal and asked if we wanted to keep the staff position of Nurse, and also become the Tehc teacher due to his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. He agreed and accepted the positions at the school. He began teaching students, and he had a rather unusual method of teaching. He declared that there would be no homework, no tests, just self-learning projects. He was kinder than the average teacher at MLHS; however, that would be a far cry from normal standards, as students would dissappear at the press of a button and would be trapped in lockers for months at a time; eventually they would let out. He has never outright killed a student. During the first month of employment, Devon met a student by the name of Emmylynn whom he learned had demonic ancestry and became very good friends with. She was found wandering around the school in the early morning of November 4th. Additionally, during this time, he discovered from medical scans from Lucius that he suffered from a combination of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ASL), a fatal motor neuron disease, and chronic bronchitis. So Devon decided to give Lucius a body for the purpose of assisted living, and he began looking into ways to prolong his lifespan through the means of technology as a way to overcome his fatal medical condition. He spent many sleepless nights researching and developing a suit that would give him the mobility he once had. After several weeks of almost constant 24-hour effort, he was able to create a prototype suit with the help of Lucius and the exotic supplies and materials at MLHS.

The school was built near an unstable planar intersection of reality, which led to frequent invasions by demons. The teachers at the school were fed up with Demons interfering with education and decided to put an end to it. Devon spearheaded a plan with the Principal, Elon Musk, and the Dark Arts teacher to nuke the demon capital. Devon dubbed the weapon "The Omega Device" which was supposed to be able to close the gateway and simultaneously reduce the city to ashes. The group stormed the Palace and was successful in infiltrating, but encountered more resistance than initially planned. So, in order for the plan to go off without a hitch, someone had to stay behind to ensure that the bomb successfully completed the detonation sequence. He volunteered as tribute to supervise the detonation. Devon would have died had it not been for Lucius sacrificing his physical form to save Devon from the blast of ionizing radiation. Doing this sent a message to the demons that humanity was a threat and that they needed to be elimated. This led to the reveal of the Demon King himself, Thagros, and his declaration of the war against humanity.

Devon and Em his newly appointed mentee, spent several days avoiding a demonic assassin made from shadows, which was later found out to have been personally sent by Thagros. Shade was later defeated by a new type of raw Majik source referred to as the iridescent source by the Main Character on a road trip. There was a considerable amount of downtime as the demonic army readied their forces to invade Earth once more. During this period, Devon was approached by a mysterious god by the name of Curio who promised Devon a set of newfound powers if he agreed to be the warden of an interdimensional prison named "The Void". To which he agreed, allowing him to teleport and majkally imprision subjects into the void. Thagros sends another trusted advisor, Annette, to earth, only for Devon to use his abilities to imprison her in the void.

**Phase 2**: At the beginning of this phase, the Principal is revealed to be a two-body spirit who became possessed at certain points during the RP Devon, along with several other memebers of the main cast, fought him to bring him back to his senses. Similarily, during this time, Devon became possessed, as he was overburdened by the amount of interdimensional energy coursing through his body, thanks to his new-found powers as a warden of the void. This is theorized to be the reason for his temporary insanity and why he freed Annette from the Void and went on a rampage as he tried to destroy the solar system. Thankfully, he was only able to destroy a few uninhabited asteroids before being subdued by both the principal and Zemia. Once he came back to his senses, he felt greatly guilty and remorseful for what he had done, and he voluntarily exiled himself. He reasoned that he shouldn't be anywhere near a few parsecs of Earth, so he chose the Vega star system. Where he would be residing as a hermit, not wishing to cause harm to the others. At this time, he only told the dark arts teacher of his whereabouts, as he believed that she would be the only one who could instantaneously travel to him and stop him had things gone south.

In Vegas star system, Devon created an artificial Planet by using liquid metallic hydrogen. A metal that can hold any shape and has perfect superconductivity. This is all possible due to his technological and scientific prowess. Otherwise, it would have taken him several lifetimes; it only took him a matter of weeks. During this time, the dark arts teacher came to check on him because she noticed large developments in the Vega system. She was quickly dismissed. Devon politely asked to be left alone unless it was urgent. He had spent significant amounts of time guiding the planet into a golden era of technology and ensuring that they could have the means to become a factory of unimaginable proportions. He had set up a system of law and government similar to Sweden during the 21st century with a more Socio-capitalistic spin, though ultimately the government was a technocratic republic. The inhabitants of the said planet were dubbed "Vegans" and were under the control and influence of Devon, who had hooked them all up to a massive blackhole supercomputer that would monitor them and allow them to share thoughts and memories. In other words, a telepathic link. Most of the Vegans remained indifferent about the matter, with the . Ironically, during this time, the Demon Dictator, more commonly known as the Demon King Thagros, was poised to move his armies to invade Earth. During this time, Zemia and Em came to Vega, wishing to have Devon fight alongside the other memebers against Thagros and his army. Devon was very reluctant to help after the aftermath of him becoming possesesed still weighed heavily on his mind. Zemia and Em were able to convince him, and they went off to fight the Demon king in hell. The group had a long and valiant fight and was able to overcome the demon king's forces storming the Demon palace and were able to kill the demon king, or so they thought. It was later revealed that Thagros's soul was able to escape his body moments before his death and travel to space in hopes of establishing a new demon capital. He was able to successfully establish a demon outpost on the planet Mercury and obtain a new body, a robot. The crew did not know this at the time and thought they had vanquished the Demon king. They formed a group dubbed "The Dimensional Defenders" sort of an off-brand version of a particular group of superheroes who fought against an angry grape with a powerful glove.

After establishing a super secret and technologically advanced base in space built by Devon, aka the Dimension Defenders Base, the Defenders get word that Thagros is terrorizing the solar system once more. The group seeks to defeat him, this time for good. They arrive on spaceships and are able to breach the demon outpost, and in an epic climactic battle, the group is able to permanently vanquish Thagros. The group goes back to their normal activities for a while. Devon goes back to overseeing Vega, his passion project. For the most part, all the vegans seem happy with the way they are being ruled except for a notable factory worker from Alcore Chipset Manufacturer factory number 5662. Her name was Sprocket, and she was able to break away from the hive mind and attempted to stage a rebellion against the establishment after stealing various parts from factories, such as the Advance 880 series chipset and the Prototype flight suit. Devon did not hold any malice against Sprocket, as a kind and understanding father would for their rebellious teenager.

However, Sprocket's actions caught the attention of the group of the main cast, creating a rift between the group, which sided either with Sprocket or Devon, which led to a heated debate over whether Vegans should have their own freedom and whether Sprocket's actions were justified. Ultimately, the group decided that Sprocket would not be punished for her actions and that she would be exiled from Vega. Devon was the rightful ruler of Vega, and despite other members opinions on the matter, at the end of the day, it was his decision. Unfortunately, an unforseen disaster strikes. A powerful being known as a Dimensional Eater appears in Neon City It draws the attention of the Defenders. Despite their best efforts, none of them are able to really hurt the creature, so Devon strikes a deal with the being by sacrifing his life instead of Vega. The Dimensional Eater agrees, and after consuming him it abruptly vanishes.

**Phase 3**: During Devon's death, his brother Arthur becomes prime minister of Vega, overseeing the growth and development of the planet. This job was not new to him, as he managed the galactic city state of Andromeda.

Devon had preemptively set up 3D printers across galaxies and even dimensions. He was able to upload his consciousness before he was consumed by the Dimensional Eater . He comes back with a brand new robot suit made from the heart of dead star, which allows him much greater powers and use of technology than before. During this time, the Defenders learn of a villain called Abaddon who wishes to bring about the end of the universe. To do so, he needs to collect five amulets of power that control different aspects of the universe. He is able to successfully do so and is able to fracture the foundation of the universe, causing a collision with other universes. Abaddon is able to summon lesser dimensional eaters, which the group cannot stop them Devon sacrifices his life this time to permanently stop Abaddon and the creatures of destruction.

Devon is most definitely a complicated and multifaceted character, so it is rather difficult to put his personality into simple terms.
