**Robin Myers** (ロビン マイヤーズ), also known as Phoenix or simply code **APX009** (ゼロキュウ, ***Zero-Kyū***), is the main protagonist of Cyberpunk Neon Genesis. Robin was a bioengineer and a biologist, he was also a renowned mercenary and special forces operative. In the past he arrived at the CyberCore research facility with the intention of finding out what really happened to his sister Sam after CyberCore Corporation reported that she had died. Unknowingly, he would be eliminated by security forces with a shot to the head. This would cause Robin to lose his memory completely and be presumed dead before waking up 50,000 years after the accident in the CyberCore laboratories.

At the beginning of the story, little is known about Robin, and his stoic personality puzzles his pilots peers. He became an elite soldier to pilot in the **Automata Mech Defense Corps**. As the story progresses, his personality evolves, and he becomes more involved with the people around him. In the final events of the story, the audience discovers that Robin's mysterious origins tie into the story's resolution, where it is revealed that he is a clone of the original Robin Myers from the Human Era.

Having used his genetic code as part of the Japanese Corporate project PHOENIX, Robin in 52,345 became the genetic father of Nine Alpha, Nine Omega and Nine Delta.

## Appearance

Robin is a fairly tall man, with a large, extremely toned and muscular build, along with a slim waist and well-defined muscles, especially in his stomach and arms. Broad shoulders, narrow nose, pale skin and with an interface system implanted in his body. His hair is wavy and choppy to medium length, part of it tied in an off-center ponytail to the right of him. It is light brown in color. He has bluish eyes with a white tinge at the bottom (occasionally described as gray), and usually has a kind facial expression.

Robin's outfit, the thermal suit, is described as black and tight-fitting, full-body. It is made of microfiber, a thermally regulating hybrid fabric with a thin construction for maximum freedom of movement, which is designed to keep Robin nice and warm in the cold glaciers. The protective suit insulates his body, ensuring that his temperature depletes much more slowly. It has biometric monitoring and feedback, not to mention that the 5/4 mm neoprene layer supports aquatic activity at almost any temperature, qualifying for outdoor use at temperatures above -10 °C. Regarding his costume at the beginning of the story, he used to wear a long-sleeved white sweater with the number 009, but this sweater would soon become Nine Omega's in the future.

At other times, Robin wears a gray jumpsuit, but with the top folded down and tied around his waist, revealing a white tank top with the CyberCore logo and tight pale blue shorts or pants. He also wears a white coat past the wrist on his right hand, presumably to provide joint support.

He wears black glove plates that protect the backs of his hands and left forearm. Instead, his right hand is bandaged. One possible reason is that bandages usually help protect against injuries that have been made by advancing it. On his legs he is wearing free-fall mechanical boots made of hard membrane.

There are small differences between the second generation Robin and the first Robin, for example, the first Robin had bluer eyes, while the second generation Robin Myers has lighter and almost gray or blurry eyes. In addition to this, the second Robin is taller due to genetic modifications and has an improved physical constitution. When second generation Robin was little, he wore a white coat with a black choker with his identification number.

## Background

Robin Myers is considered the first child of the second generation of humans and the new Adam, who at the same time is described as the "Father of us all". Since Robin is the vessel of the original Robin's "consciousness", which paradoxically makes him his own father and also the father of all the children of the second generation. No specific information regarding Robin's origin or heritage is initially provided. The databank claims that Robin was born in a certain room deep in the lower levels of CyberCore headquarters during the Great Corporate War II, but this is all that is explicitly revealed in the story about his creation. It was later stated that the second generation of Robin was created from the "rescued remains" of Robin Myers after his absorption into what used to be the former CyberCore research facility. The connection between both replicas is glimpsed several times throughout the story.

Later, dozens of unconscious Robin clones are revealed. Alt refers to them as "spares" and then as "vessels" to Robin. It is stated that he can be completely replaced and that his "consciousness" is transferred to a new clone body each time he dies, although his memory becomes confused with each transfer. Other supporting evidence in the story includes his earlier line that "if I die, I can be replaced".

Now, scientifically speaking, there is no clear, agreed-upon definition of “soul.” From the perspective of modern science, research into consciousness after death has generated reports of near-death experiences and cases of clinically dead people who later revived. They argue that this suggests that consciousness can persist after the death of the physical body. Other studies from the CyberCore research center formulate the process of encephalization, in which a person's consciousness and memories are transferred to a cyberbrain, effectively "digitizing" his soul. This raises questions about identity and spirituality. Are you still the same person even if you no longer have a physical body?

Encephalization raises the question of whether a person's soul can separate from their organic body and persist digitally. Is he still the same essential person or is he just a soulless copy? Cybernetic implants and extreme body modifications also raise the question of how far a person can change their physical body before their spiritual "self" or soul changes as well. And Robin, it's the first example of this in a long time.

There are various symbolisms in Robin. From the symbolism of Adam as the comparison of him with Jesus Christ. Adam is the name given to the first human being in Genesis 1-5. Beyond its use as the name of the first man, Adam is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as "a human being" and in a collective sense as "humanity." Genesis speaks of God's creation of the world and its creatures, including Adam, that is, humanity; In Genesis God forms "Adam", that is, a single human being, from the "dust of the earth", and places him in the Garden of Eden. The soul of Adam is the image of God, and as God fills the world, so the soul fills the human body: "as God sees all things, and is seen by none, so the soul sees, but cannot be seen; as God guides the world, so the soul guides the body; as God in his holiness is pure, so is the soul; and as God dwells in secret, so doth the soul". According to Jewish literature, Adam possessed a body of light, identical to the light created by God on the first day, and the original glory of Adam can be regained through mystical contemplation of God.

In addition to this, Robin claims that his name is written on the Book of Life *(生命の書, **seimei no sho**)*, which would allow him to die and be reborn forever; he subsequently added to his name of him the name of his parther of him, thus managing to meet him several times. The Book of Life cited by Robin is a reference to a concept of the same name in Christianity, according to which it is a text in which God would have listed in his hand the people destined to go to Heaven on the Last Judgment. All of these connections mean that Robin is often called the first child or the child of the gospel.

One of the hints about Robin's divine symbolism is its introduction when Akira finds 14-year-old Robin on the ocean shore of the neomilitary base, humming the composition Lilium. Lilium is a Latin term for lily, a flower that represents purity, innocence, and rebirth. A nod to Robin's rebirth as a new human.

In the next scene, Robin is playing Lacrimosa on the piano while alone in a living room, and later we see Nine Omega playing the same melody. Mozart's "Lacrimosa" evokes deep sadness and a sense of lament. It is a musical expression that seeks to convey emotions related to death, grief and loss. As part of a requiem, which is a funeral mass, the "Lacrimosa" represents the anguish and pain associated with the departure of a loved one and reflection on human mortality. It is likely that these scenes are symbolic of Nine Omega's death and his sacrifice.

## Personality

Initially, Robin Myers was born on a Japanese military base in old Tokyo, the son of a Japanese mother and an American father. When his father died in combat, his mother raised him with his older sister Sam. Robin was raised by the military and had a tough childhood. Finally, years later, his mother died from a terminal illness. Compared to his father, according to his mother, although they were quite similar physically, Robin is much friendlier, thoughtful and relaxed, although he seems to prefer solitude rather than the company of other humans. He mentions that he always wanted to "be smarter and faster" than his father when he was a kid. Robin is a methodical and assertive worker, often with a very good memory and unexpected analytical skills; He is also good with people in difficult situations.

Due to his harsh background and having been rigorously trained throughout his childhood and adulthood, and his career in the Marine Special Operations Command before becoming a CIA special agent, Robin could be described as a very serious and stoic person who he rarely speaks more than necessary, preferring actions to words and being described as someone who never wastes words. With a strong sense of obligation. As a mercenary, Robin relies heavily on his abilities and reputation, being greatly respected and feared by many criminal organizations and other mercenaries alike. Despite this, he has a strong moral code and honor that is unique among his colleagues.

Considered by many to be a respectable and fearsome man, Robin has been defined by his bravery, patriotism and righteousness. Myers has always had a noble and honest spirit, intolerant of injustice and abuses of power. As he grew up weak and small, he learned for himself that true strength is having the courage to fight back against abuse, regardless of one's power, and having compassion for the innocent. Despite being transformed into a tough being after the war, he maintained his original values and character. Robin was best described as headstrong, strong-willed, passionate and impulsive, which are both attributes of his strong determination to protect humanity.

During his youth, he was also willing to sacrifice himself for his country if needed, although his patriotism towards America came into serious question after he saw how his tutor died, who showcased to him how even the best of soldiers are expendable to the government. While Robin did still have some respect for his country, he was n't going to live his life the way his tutor had, as a tool for corrupt political aims, and anything he did would be done out of loyalty to himself rather than a country.

Robin is an extremely dedicated person. He finds the courage to defend the weak and innocent, and certainly in standing up to corrupt politicians, hypocritical authority figures, or powerful entities. His determination also helps him, giving him a boost in physical power that allows him to keep beings of much greater strength at bay, even allowing him to survive against any threat. Robin is more than willing to sacrifice himself to protect others and does not care if he is considered the villain in his job, as his desire to protect other civilians remains as strong as ever.

The darker, more violent nature within him comes from his father, and the abuse he inflicted on him as a child trying to make him tough. However, while he uses it daily to get the job done, Robin does hate that he is anything like his father. Prior to his sister Sam's disappearance, Robin had a more caring and jovial side. He isn't the type to beat around the bush, he is bold and direct.

He also fearless. Even as a child, Robin had violent tendencies, as he beat up the boy who broke Sam's nose. He even beat up his headmaster when he insinuated the possibility of becoming just like his father, something that enraged him. He rarely shows emotion, giving a cold impression to others. His manner of speaking tends to be very blunt, even insulting, and his comments are often coarse or inappropriate. He is not above provoking or belittling those who oppose or irritate him. His sense of humor tends toward the vulgar, insulting, and dark. All of this makes him unsettling to a great number of people.

After being killed by Oda's special forces and waking up in his clone 50,000 years later, at the beginning of the story, he is socially withdrawn, seemingly emotionless, and rarely interacts with anyone except Alt, to whom he initially shows loyalty but with whom generally has a generally distant relationship. He lives alone in a white, sparsely furnished room at the Neo-Tokyo Development Center. Robin is also shown to have an interest in biology and psychology, including reading a Russian-language book on the latter topic. As the story progresses, he begins to develop relationships with others and show moments of genuine emotion, even becoming sad and crying. It is described that there is a small spark of humanity in him, but it is "overshadowed by this enormous sense of negative self-esteem and the realization that he is expendable".

Although Robin initially does not understand what it means to be human and lacks insight into it, he eventually seems comfortable with his identity, and also warmer and more emotionally open. However, he displays a detachment from human protocols and has a tendency to speak in universal rather than personal terms. Initially Robin is fourteen years old, he attends a private high school in Neo-Tokyo, being educated by Alt personally until he turns twenty one.

Outwardly, Robin may appear somewhat quiet and distant, and often spends time reading books or playing the piano. However, emotions can easily confuse him and he is somewhat distant from his own. Despite all this, by watching videos of what humanity used to be like, he becomes very curious about these activities and over time develops the desire to act like them even if he does not fully understand them. Although Robin is aware of his position as the new father of second-generation humanity, he is doubtful about everything, since he does not even know the basic principles of what love means or even what pain means.

Robin also shows great interest in humanity, describing their music, particularly the "Lacrimosa" made by Mozart, as the highest achievement of their culture, and often reflecting on their fragility and nature. He is very direct in his interactions and apparently does not know of or is interested in social conventions. He shows sympathy for Nine Alpha, Nine Omega and Nine Delta as his children.

While "Robin II" does not have the full memories of "Robin I", he eventually suffers from sudden flashbacks as he pilots the Evtaria Alpha and suffers from constant existential crises about who he really is, beginning to suspect the past behind everything and feeling terrified by it. The differences between "Robin I" and "Robin II" are quite notable, because while the original Robin was quite violent, the second generation Robin is an erudite boy with an easy-going, simple and honest personality.

He is quite kind. At the same time he has a merciful and forgiving heart. He has a reputation for being kind and caring for others, as he demonstrates his love for his children by accepting them and fellow pilots into the Squadron.

Although he rarely shows it, Robin has a strong sense of morality and empathy. One of his most defining characteristics is the great value he places on preserving human life. This gives him his title, in fact, as the father and mother of second-generation humanity.

Eventually while growing up in the Neo-Tokyo Development Center, Robin's interest in other sciences and in drawing and painting began. At first, he simply illustrated his notes with basic sketches. But he soon realized that the process of rendering things in great detail helped him intimately understand their physical makeup, which was helpful for his studies of biology and anatomy. Robin often read psychology books and other research, in addition, he learned other languages, such as English, Russian, German, Japanese and Chinese. He is described as a fairly intelligent boy.

Despite his calm and collected demeanor, and his warm and gentle attitude, Robin could and would demonstrate that he is an experienced, hardened soldier capable of turning aggressive and contentious. Robin also has hobbies that he develops throughout the story, such as taking care of the greenhouse and the crops on his plantation. In addition to this, he likes to paint and play the piano. He has a special affinity for art. As a caregiver, Robin is polite and attentive to Alpha, Omega and Delta. He usually reads books to them and plays with them. In addition to being affectionate, he really sees this group of young people as his children and believes they deserve fair treatment as humans.

Furthermore, although Alt considers herself nothing more than a machine during their time together, Robin considers Alt to be his own mother. However, he occasionally has flashbacks of his past life and, when he does, his attitude becomes different. After recovering his hazy memory Robin realizes his sister's murder and feels cheated and used. Which causes him to become distant and cold towards others, losing his kind and gentle attitude for a while. The emotional shock that Robin feels over Sam's sister's death is very strong, and at the same time he seems confused about it. This makes him more unstable when piloting the Evtaria Alpha unit and at the same time develops a withdrawn personality.

When Robin becomes suspicious of his memories, he investigates the rural outskirts of Neo-Tokyo, in the Badlands, until he finds where the orphanage where he stayed with his younger sister in the past once existed. Once inside the remains of what used to be the care center, Robin found photos of the orphanage children in the snow-covered rubble, and also found her wooden toy stored in a box in one of the rooms. Robin began to show signs of breaking down as he came to the conclusion that his memory of him was real when he finally finds a photograph of himself and his sister in the middle of the trunk. Confused and scared, he decides to confront Alt and demand answers from her, to which she responds through tears that everything is true. Robin had an outburst as he exited the lab.

After discovering the accident that killed his sister and giving it a proper ending, Robin admitted that he finally understood what it really meant to "be human." Thanks to this discovery, Robin's personality faced a great change. He also accepted himself.

Robin is ultimately considered a damaged but compassionate individual. The death of his mother, and especially that of his sister and former wife, have left Robin with difficulties in his relationship with others and with himself. Through all this, he is the only one who tries to find a reason to fight the Seraphims.

## Biography

### Early life

Robin Myers was born on June 10, 1950 at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo. He was the first son of Mayumi Izumi, a Japanese woman, and Markus Myers, a well-respected American soldier. Robin did not have an easy childhood because he was a rather withdrawn child. He rarely saw his father, who was very hard on him from an early age, hoping that his son would have a strong character in the future. At the age of seven, his father was murdered in combat in the Korean War, so he was raised solely by his older sister and his mother.

Slowly Robin's personality was shaped as time went by. While children at his age were still reading fairy tales, his sister Samantha was already browsing through boxes and shelves in her parents' study. So Sam absorbed all this knowledge, whether she understood it or not. Slowly, however, she discovered that as her knowledge increased, the unknowns she wished to explore also became more numerous, and this made him hungrier for knowledge. Robin considered her sister quite intelligent and prodigious, and while she took care of her, Robin strove to be strong for her and sought to make her proud of him. During that time Robin became stronger and began practicing boxing and other combat techniques, he became so strong that everyone respected him at school for his tough and serious personality. He was also excellent in martial arts. He often defended his sister from bullies, and more than once broke the nose of one of them, warning that if they messed with his sister again he would finish them off.

At the age of twelve, his mother would be diagnosed with a terminal illness. The woman eventually died from the side effects of the treatment given by Biotechnica. The death of his mother and his frustration with Biotechnica tainted Robin's principles and led him down a dark path of violence and hatred. Robin and Samantha were moved to an Tokyo orphanage after that, since they had no family who could take care of them. As a result, Robin took on the role of parenting her sister when she was young, taking part-time jobs to support her and cooking. When Sam fell ill with a fever, Robin went to the forest to collect herbs for her, but got hurt in the process. Robin cared for her no matter what and went out of her way to buy her gifts. When Samantha reached the age of ten, Robin worked hard at work to buy her an encyclopedia.

Among Robin's memories, the boy remembers having only one old toy, a small car whose wheels barely worked. One day, he was beaten by the orphanage children and they took away his toy. Robin got up and punched them back, creating a fight in the care center. Robin grew up in this orphanage over the years and at the same time, the orphanage was abandoned as corporations took over the land. By the time Robin reached adulthood, the orphanage would eventually become an abandoned and desolate place, so he decided to take care of his sister and leave the place.

Sam dreamed of being a scientist and working for CyberCore, and her brother would make sure she fulfilled her dream. Robin ever since worked hard to give everything to his younger sister. Finally, at the age of eighteen, Robin joined the Marines. In this way he managed to pay for his sister's studies until she managed to enter the CyberCore Academy.

### Adulthood

Robin's military career dates back to around 1968. Under the mentorship of the ***"Special Forces Mother"*** or better known as agent Black Widow, Robin was molded into the perfect weapon: cold, lethal and devoid of emotion. Agent Black Widow taught Robin extensively about combat, weaponry, survival, espionage, destruction, psychology, and foreign languages (such as Russian), and they later developed combat together. Through the experience, Robin came to have great respect and reverence for her boss, seeing her not only as a mentor, but also as a mother figure of sorts.

Due to his great potential, Robin would be selected for CIA espionage during the ***Cold War***, where he would spend his time as a spy for the Soviet government. Robin deserted the army to be sent to Moscow, where he would enter as a research agent on the nation's weapons. Captain Robin observed the complex from a distance, drawing up a strategic plan. With his men at his side, they crept across the frozen terrain, using the darkness of the night as their ally. Every step was calculated, every movement precisely synchronized. In this mission, Myers was agile and managed to recover information of high importance to the nation, details about Soviet military plans and tactics, such as troop deployments, attack and defense plans, strategic objectives, among others.

Robin was a CIA paramilitary intelligence officer in three wars: the ***Congo Crisis***, the ***Vietnam War***, and the ***Angolan War of Independence***. His military rank was Major. He spent two years in Africa, where he became known as the ***White Mamba*** for his pale skin and eyes. Years of hard training shaped his personality and gave him a cynical outlook on the world, although beneath his shell the embers of an ancient anger still lingered.

In 1990, Robin joined the Special Air Service, becoming the youngest person in history to join its ranks, excelling at parachuting, rappelling, scuba diving, free climbing, and use of small arms and military vehicles. During the ***Gulf War in Iraq***, he was assigned to an SAS unit to track down and destroy mobile Scud missiles. In truth, he infiltrated the Middle East as a sleeper agent for the American Secret Intelligence Service, but he was taken prisoner by the Iraqis and declared missing in action. In 1992, he was rescued by the U.S. Government.

After the ***9/11 accident***, Robin was recruited to ***Operation PENTTBOM*** to find those responsible for the terrorist attack. The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with Islamist jihadist organization ***al-Qaeda***. They hailed from four countries; 15 of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Egypt, and one from Lebanon. Time after, he served two combat tours in the War on Terrorism, being deployed to Afghanistan during his service. Assigned to the 58th Rescue Squadron. One of Robin's missions involved successfully capturing the terrorist group in Afghanistan and studying the state's biological weapons for the CIA. Unfortunately, the line of fire mission in Afghanistan would end the life of his mentor, the mother of the special forces, when one of the terrorists murdered her in combat.

Years after this event, Robin rose to the rank of elite general in addition to honors. ***Operation Neptune's Spear*** was to infiltrate a fortified complex controlled by the Taliban, which was used as an Al-Qaeda training and weapons storage center. Intelligence has revealed that the insurgent leader and founder, known as ***Osama bin Laden***, was present at the scene, and capturing or eliminating him would be a major blow to the enemy. The assault force was on the ground for less than 40 minutes and the operation was supervised in real time by the director of the CIA. The stories say that Robin had no intention of capturing the terrorist alive, and that according to witnesses, Osama refused to capture him, so the soldier shot him in the head, eliminating him.

Finally the South American war broke out when the United States invaded Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela with ***NEXUS***. Robin was sent to Nicaragua to participate in the conflict known as ***"New Vietman"***. The government was confident that its new military units, equipped with autonomous vehicles and the beginnings of cyber soldiers, could defeat the depleted forces of South American drug traffickers. They legitimized the war by declaring that drug lords remained a danger to the American economy, even though the majority of drugs sold in the US were purely artificial designer narcotics. The war dragged on for almost eight years, draining the American economy.

The war turned into a struggle for domination of the rest of the hemisphere, with the U.S. pouring almost all of its military force into it, and the Euro-corps providing aid, training, equipment and money to the indigenous armies resisting the invasion. This pattern mirrored the decades-old Soviet tactic of fighting wars, "Let's you and him fight." This was not a coincidence; the Euros chose the military advisors of the Soviet Union to guide the progress of the war. In this case, the European plan was not to directly contest the American military effort, but instead to make the invasion so costly that the Americans would lose in the end, replicating the pattern established in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

After being the only survivor of the Operation and the only one successful in eliminating his enemies, Robin returned home with PTSD after his last mission. Robin survived this war, but had lost an eye from a gunshot. He eventually met with the United States government and was praised for his efforts. In a ceremony at Langley Air Force Base, he was awarded the ***Distinguished Service Cross*** by the president and codenamed ***Phoenix***. Meanwhile, members of the government spoke of his great abilities as a soldier and agent, considering that he could be the right man to train and lead a new unit of other people with his skills.

The newly christened Phoenix, however, found no sense of pride or accomplishment in the whole affair and quietly left the ceremony. While standing over the unmarked grave of his mentor in the National Cemetery, Robin came to the conclusion that he had lost sight of what he was fighting for and, with it, his patriotism for the country. Because of this, in addition to blaming himself, he retired from the service. Robin returned home from the war deeply scarred by his experiences. The horrors of combat and his loss haunted both his dreams and his waking thoughts. He struggled with irritability, anxiety, depression and rage that he could barely contain.

His time in the war had hardened him in many ways, but deep down he was still just a man. The violence and death he witnessed shattered the innocent soul he once had. He felt twisted and broken, a vessel for humanity's darker tendencies instead of the hopeful young man he used to be. As the months passed, Robin moved to the Gulf of Alaska, while paying for his sister's studies and receiving messages from her. Although they had grown apart over time, they still maintained a fairly warm relationship due to the memories of both of them together.

However, Robin turned to alcohol and isolation to numb the trauma. He avoided relationships and crowds, finding solace only in being alone. The emptiness within him seemed endless and inescapable. Robin's retirement from war was short-lived and his attempts to become a hunting instructor or guide failed. He kept himself busy with dangerous jobs as a mercenary, finding a kind of twisted peace in violence.

During these years Robin also met a woman named Sarah, a famous photographer with whom he fell deeply in love and later married. One night, Robin returned to his apartment where Sarah made him dinner for their anniversary, lit his cigarette, and asked him to read her a book or dance with her. He then gave her a beautiful bracelet. Robin took her outside in the rain until she confessed that she was pregnant. By then, the agent took a trip outside his country with his wife to dedicate time to the family and be closer to Sam, where he would move to Tokyo. However, a few months later, Sarah died in a car accident after not receiving proper medical care.

The car accident occurred thanks to corporate officer Samuel Mitchell crashing his car into Sarah's during a chase. Aware that Myers will come for revenge, Samuel attempts to plead for peace, but Robin silently refuses and threatens to seek him out and find him, forcing Samuel to send a group of assassins to kill him while he escapes. Managing to kill them all in a brutal fight, Myers chases Samuel into a nightclub, but the corporate security team prevents him from killing the man. In an attempt to protect himself from Myers' wrath, he sends several assassins to eliminate him, but they are all finished off by him.

Time later, Robin receives a call from ***CyberCore*** informing him of the death of his sister. He made the decision to go to the same CyberCore Research Facility illegally to investigate Sam's death, where he would find the information on Nuclilium and the real reason behind the case.

### Legacy

But what made Robin a legend was not his military exploits or his way of living, but his unique way of finishing things. He and CyberCore's largest corporate tower. Precisely on ***July 4, 2009***, Robin entered the CyberCore tower in a terrorist attack, shooting his way through. With a thirst for revenge for the murder of his sister and his wife, Robin was willing to fulfill his sister's dream: reach the top of the CyberCore tower, and not only that, kill all the corporate workers inside in the process. It is said that Robin made his way through the CyberCore tower, murdering all the workers, until the CyberCore special forces arrived and even they couldn't stop him. The elite special security agents began to fight him in a brutal battle. They, directing all their attention at Robin, ripped his cyberskeleton apart with simple brute strength. Before dealing with the final blow, Oda pondered that Robin could be someone interesting, a comment that Robin dismissed. Robin was executed with a shot to the head by Oda.

### Resurrection

What was unknown to many is that Robin's body was preserved and later used to be cloned in the PHOENIX project as the first second generation human or considered a synthetic human with the few memories of the original Robin, specifically 50,000 years later, during the Great Corporate War II, as the last hope of bringing humanity back and later as the first volunteer as an Automata pilot in the Great Machine War. This second Robin was born on December 20, 52,345, he was a genetically engineered, bio-enhanced human with para-physical capabilities, "composed entirely of organic substance." Originally, a key aspect of Robin's psychology was that he lacked empathy, which would effectively make him a textbook sociopath. However, through psychological testing at a young age it was discovered that the boy developed deep empathy for himself and others around him, demonstrating interest in the aspects of being human and human behaviors.

Somehow the consciousness of the original Robin was able to remain intact despite all things, being able to keep his memories implanted in his clone and later unlock them and create strong emotional responses in the young Robin. In the same way that Akira, his pilot partner, was born, Robin was born from Alt's synthetic womb in the Private Development and Care Center on the outskirts of Neo-Tokyo, which makes Akira his brother since they were both born from the same mother. Robin is considered the first child of humanity, as well as the first angel, and although he is a human or at least inside the body of a human, he calls the rest of the humans "Lilies" to differentiate himself from them, calling his children this way.

Robin was a prodigious and unique child during his development, although he was born in a fourteen-year-old body, he had accelerated growth like the rest of the Phoenix and an intelligence above average, he was educated in neo-military bases during the war and trained. It is difficult to measure his IQ, but doctors and experts claim that his IQ could have been as high as 250. He learned to play the piano and violin at a young age, and was discovered by his surrogate mother, Alt, reading books in Latin, Hebrew and even Greek. He was prodigious in the world of art and music, perfectly recreating the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The Ninth Symphony itself incorporates an adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's Ode to Joy (Ode an die Freude), a poem dedicated to the unity of all men under God.

Despite his supposed lack of empathy at the beginning, Robin became a humanist and eventually a lover of life and freedom. He was always close to her creator, playing chess with her or playing the piano together. One day, fifteen year-old Robin is walking near the sea with Alt when she tells him that one day she won't be able to take care of him anymore. This makes Robin reflective and awakens feelings of sadness in him, until he finally heads to the Development Center's art studio and watches Alt complete a painting. Initially Alt asks Robin to paint something, and he paints only a copy of something he sees in the studio, but after Alt tells him to paint something with his mind and heart, he paints something original that impresses Alt.

Robin's feelings are stirred, and finally he paints on the canvas a pair of hands touching each other in the midst of light and darkness. This painting was named by Robin as "Hope". Some references to this painting may be *The Creation of Adam* (Italian: ***Creazione di Adamo***) that was a fresco painting by Italian artist Michelangelo. Several hypotheses have been put forward about the meaning of ***The Creation of Adam's*** highly original composition, many of them taking Michelangelo's well-documented expertise in human anatomy as their starting point.

Some hypothesis of Robin's painting refers to his hope for a new future where humans and architects exist in a world without more wars. Another theory says that it is the hand of the original Robin joining the hand of the new Robin, as a representation of reincarnation as an angel and first child of second generation humanity. And finally, the last theory talks about how these are the hands of Adam and Eve, as it was in Michelangelo's original painting. Campos suggests that the inclusion of additional ribs was a way for Michelangelo to represent Adam and Eve created side by side, which differs from the Catholic tradition which states that Eve was created after Adam. There are too many theories about what Alt saw through Robin's painting to worry about.

After the events of the Great Corporate War II, he was assigned to a new squad of the intelligence and security services with the mission of investigating the origin of the infection and its effects, Squad Zero or better known as Squad X. Agent Myers was hired to continue the investigation against Biotechnica secretly. Even before that mission, Robin went through strong training at his young age, living on the neo-military base and traveling to different countries in Europe during this period of time. Young Robin learned English, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, French and even Italian over the next few years. With the rebirth of the new bioengineered Robin Myers, the Phoenix program was also born, a series of New United Nations projects designed to create new generations of physically, genetically, technologically and mentally superior human "super soldiers" as a special fighting force within the army. However, this did not happen immediately, as Alt first insisted on focusing on raising Robin so that she would reach sufficient maturity since it was a difficult job to be a mother and father at the same time.

Some time after the War ended, Robin turned sixteen and dedicated himself to bioengineering and other sciences, exploring the frozen landscapes of his world and traveling around it until he was twenty. The now mature Robin had studied arts and sciences, spending his days in underwater research and neo-military training. He studied languages and mathematics, physics and astrophysics at the CyberCore Academy. Finally at the age of twenty-one he learned German and Turkish, but this was only his starting point, as the man created unique mathematical algorithms and made studies unique for his time as the youngest person admitted to law institutions. Despite Robin's intellectual brilliance, there were signs that the young man was not happy with his life, as evidenced by the cut scars on his arms. At twenty-five years old, the siblings Alpha, Omega and Delta were born. These children of Robin, cloned from his genes, were raised by him during the following years. The three siblings were born on May 23, 52,370.

Robin read them Greek mythology and classic stories from the ancient Human Era, raising them strictly. Just as he was raised by Alt, he was read classic stories such as Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes, and even Dante's The Divine Comedy. Until the book of Enoch and the Holy Bible, reaching the wonders of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. From a young age, the three children showed advanced intelligence and impressive efficiency. Omega, the youngest of the siblings, stood out among the three because of his fascination with the arts and philosophy.

At four years old, Omega had already read Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey in their original language, having learned Greek at a young age like his father Robin. Like his older siblings, the boy already knew how to speak nine languages along with his native language, Japanese. Robin continued to raise the children supervised by the military and Alt, ensuring that the children developed their intelligence and strength. The years passed and Robin made more contributions to the world of science and the military. He maintained his training while other human embryos were modified and used for the birth of phoenixes. Robin was responsible for the upbringing and care of these children along with Alt and other specialized caregivers in a Development and Care Center.

### First Impact

At thirty-nine years old, Robin had already undergone intense training for almost his entire life and completed incredible amounts of studies while raising his three children and dedicating himself to the care of the new humanity or from his perceptive as the first child, "Lilies". The first of these creatures called Seraphim attacked Neo-Tokyo on the morning of July 28 of that year, 52,380. The city experienced an 8.1 magnitude earthquake before the appearance of the creature, the first Mecha Seraph to attack the nation called Eve. The creature emerged from Neo-Tokyo Bay and attacked the city's Bay Crossway. Eve made her way to the Neo-Tokyo Nuclilium power plant in Japan, where she caused the plant to collapse from below, killing Dr. Misako and several other workers, and causing the entire area to be evacuated due to an explosion that escaped from the plant. Due to the earthquake there was a leak in the power plant while Dr. Misako's team was still inside. Without much time to get out, Yuri is forced to close the door and leave them to die.

With the fall of Neo-Tokyo after the attack of the first Seraphim, months later more attacks came from the N.E.X.U.S. factories. CyberCore took drastic measures to find a way to effectively combat these biomechanical weapons. With the collapse of the city, many people lost their families, including adults and children. Robin became a sign of support and fight, welcoming different young people and children into the Development and Care Center, including Teru. He tried to save as many people as he could.

Since then the war between machines began and many of these mechanical creatures began to attack cities in Japan and allied countries. These machines caused significant devastation in the city of Neo-Tokyo. He then went on a rampage that lasted six days, destroying several cities as the Korean and Japanese armies attempted to kill him. Despite the use of troops, tanks, artillery and aircraft, the combined forces of the two armies failed to kill the huge mecha. Since then, Seraphim mecha have been produced in large factories and connect with other smaller robots to attack.

Numerous Seraphim attacked various cities along the pacific rim and were met with stiff resistance from the angels of the Automata Mech Defense Corps. Over the next five years, the Seraphim slowly adapted to the strength of the Automata.

With the creation of the Automata program by Alt and Yuri, Robin was the first volunteer pilot to be used to fly the first automata: Evtaria Alpha. At the beginning of the tests his body was able to withstand the neural load alone, but it soon collapsed and they realized that the pilots would need a partner to pilot. After countless failures in operation at the cost of so many lives, it was discovered that pilot pairs had to undergo intense training and modifications to pilot the Automata. This problem was solved through Dr. Yuri. Research on cloning and birth of new human children and architects. These children spend their entire childhood raised to be educated as pilots and, once they reach adolescence, are sent to the front in pairs in a squadron of ten members or more. They are injected with the experimental substance APX3959E, in order to improve their performance and resistance. It is supposed to act as a metabolic enhancer and promote the body's adaptation to the extreme physical demands of piloting.

Robin was the first to receive APX3959E injections, then his brother. Both subjects were subjected to intense tests and were the first to pilot the Evtaria Alpha, the largest automata ever created. After being the first to fight the Seraphim, success seemed possible for CyberCore against this new war. Abaddon and Azazel simultaneously attacked Neo-Tokyo and, in the process, destroyed two of the four remaining Automata, killing one of the squads containing Shinobu. Until Evtaria Alpha arrived, joining the rest of Squad X in a defense line to quickly dispatch the creatures and rescue the sole survivor of Squad 9.

At some point in the story, Robin meets Melo's older brother, Charlie, who awakens an interest in him due to his complexity as a human being and sensitivity. According to Robin's own words, humans live with a constant feeling of pain within their hearts, but their hearts are sensitive to pain, making life difficult for them. He considers Charlie worthy and someone who has earned his respect for having a heart and soul that is fragile and delicate like glass. Their eventual closeness and attraction sparks rumors among the squadron's pilots, who, to Robin's ironic innocence, are unaware of what they are referring to when they call both men "boyfriends". At first Robin seemed to be the first to look excited about Charlie's visits to the plantation, until later deciding to go to his own house to see him more often.

Since then Robin fights against the seraphim until CyberCore decided to assign Squad X to the Automata units, like his children Alpha, Delta and Omega who are part of a stealth assault unit against seraphims. Over a period of one year more members would join the fight against the seraphim. In this way Robin would meet the rest of the team and later Melo's brother, with whom she would develop a love relationship. Charlie and Robin began dating around this period of time after meeting three years ago. Some time later, on December 15, in a brutal fight between Evtaria Alpha and a Seraphim, Robin would rescue and find Mako abandoned in the ruins of the wounded Haikara, deciding to take her with him to the plantation to help her and later adopt her. Charlie and Robin take on a role as parents to Mako and the rest of the children such as Delta, Omega and Alpha.

Over the next few years, mecha attacks of different categories occurred in different cities, from Neo-Tokyo to Hong Kong and places like the Philippines. Evtaria Alpha and Squad The war between NUSA and Japan broke out once again and this time they tried to attack the factories where the machines were created. With brutal attacks and bloodbaths between pilots and these mechanical monsters, the war became unstoppable for the next ten years of constant fighting. Earthquakes, tsunamis and loss of civilian life characterized these years. This event became known among several people as the ***"second apocalypse"*** or ***"impact"*** to refer to the cataclysm that the arrival of the seraphim meant.

As Robin pilots the Evtaria Alpha more, he has more confused and mixed memories of his past life. Until one day he suffers a serious accident and hits his head. At that moment Robin has a vision of himself sitting on a stone among the rubble of a city next to a statue of an angel, and next to him appears little Samantha. Samantha approaches Robin and calls him "ani" (Japanese: 兄), referring to him as his older brother. She takes his hand and Robin finally wakes up in the plantation hospital. Confused and scared, Robin remains in recovery while his squad continues to fight, but refuses to rest and abandon them. Meanwhile he finds out that Sherry is fighting outside the city plantation to defend Neo-Tokyo, that her automata has been sunk in the water and is being bombed by Adam.

Anna stops responding and the Genista unit is run alone by her older sister. Sherry then places herself inside the Unit to protect it from the assault by Adam's Strategic Self-Defense Forces. With the Genista Unit submerged in the ocean and bombarded with depth charges, Sherry declares that she does not want to die and, in a moment of clarity, she regains her own identity, confronts and defeats the first seraph, and then faces the Automata controlled en masse by Adam. During the battle, she successfully disables all ten opponents; However, Genista's energy runs out. The seraphim proceeded to eviscerate and dismember the Genista unit, thus causing Sherry's body to actually suffer the wounds inflicted to the machine. Robin watches from the plantation hospital in fear and then reinforcements arrive to destroy Adam and recover Genista's remains. Some time later, Sherry and her sister are taken to the plantation hospital to recover. After this accident, Robin desperately visits Sherry in the hospital and seeks comfort from her.

### A Thousand Souls

Sherry, in a moment of lucidity, smiles weakly at him. However, Robin suffers from a severe migraine again and recovers past memories of her mother, when she was sick with cancer. Robin suffers an anxiety attack at that moment and leaves the automata facility dizzy, going to vomit in the bathrooms when a worried Akira approaches him. Robin affirms that everything is fine and he just feels a little sick with a smile, so Akira leaves him alone. That night, Robin decided to rip off his tracking device that was inside his skin, and escaped to the Human Care and Development Center facility. He checked the files inside the place to verify the children's birth dates, and found the data bank with his DNA information.

Moments later, he discovered a memory data bank containing decades-old memories. However, he couldn't access any data network because it was blocked and needed authorization, but Robin knew he had little time left. With Murphy's help, he hacked into CyberCore systems and secretly accessed the Network, finding that most of the electronic records were damaged or destroyed. Therefore, Robin was forced to personally perform the DNA analysis. Murphy and Robin had a private conversation in which Murphy asks him why he is doing all this, Robin revealed, however, that the date "6.10.1950" was recorded in one of his DNA records. The appearance of the same date as on his old wooden toy that Alt had given him, a small car whose wheels barely worked and seemed to be from the Human Era. This revelation disturbs him greatly, until he realizes that it is not the only date that appears in his DNA record.

Soon Robin discovers two other dates before his birth, which tells him that he is actually Alt's third child born and not the first child. He realizes that these children were discarded for not having passed their exams and for being considered defective for the PHOENIX project. Deeply disturbed, Robin refuses to accept the truth and decides to copy the data and go home to analyze it later. Some events and missions passed while Robin continued to doubt everything. Failing that, the last missions occur that end the lives of Omega, Teru and other pilots. DNA analysis eventually revealed the birth of two children, a boy and a girl. This was particularly strange since two individuals could not have identical, but similar DNA. Records revealed that both children were processed at the Kokoro no Furusato Orphanage outside of ancient Tokyo in the Human Era. The older boy, with the date "6.10.1950" had the same registration name as Robin.

Robin traveled to the outskirts of Neo-Tokyo with Charlie, then he reached the top of one of the trash piles to discover large, domed buildings - collapsed and repurposed Radio Telescope dishes - where the orphanage once existed. Everything was covered in snow and frozen, and nearby centers were abandoned and destroyed. Both men travel to the oldest section of the building to find the records of all the children who were present at the orphanage since the 2000s. However, the pages Robin needed were torn out by an unknown person. Frustrated, Robin climbs up to the damaged second floor of the orphanage and finds one of the rooms, which he inspects. Robin finds a toy piano and a couple of old and torn photographs, where you can see a group of children and on the side two little ones together: Robin and Sam with the marked date of birth of both children that coincided with the DNA record. Robin began to show signs of breaking down as he came to the conclusion that his memories were real.

His search finally led him to confront Alt and ask him with all the evidence in his hands if the story was real, to which Alt responds through tears that it is and she was sorry, that she didn't know how to tell him because she didn't want to hurt him. Robin tearfully tells Alt that she lied to him all this time. In those moments of the scene Robin appears holding a gun. Robin stops trusting her when he discovers that she was the true cause of the extinction of humanity and the murders of the previous children. Alt explains that she always loved humanity and only sought their well-being, preventing them from continuing to kill each other and deciding to create a better future for them. At this explanation Robin is deeply disturbed and walks away from her with the gun in his hand. Alt then reveals to Robin that she is everywhere, in all bodies and in all digital space. In her last words Alt asks Robin for forgiveness, and raises his arm, making him point his gun at her chest. Alt does this because Robin tells her that humanity no longer needs her, and asks her to let him guide the new humanity on his own. Alt agrees and tells him that despite everything, she still loves him and will continue to be her son. This before Robin shoots her in the chest and destroys her body. Robin then falls to the ground in tears.

Although Alt cannot die because she is a universal consciousness, her main body can be destroyed, which distances her from Robin and the others, and makes Robin the new leader of CyberCore.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

Robin Myers is a second generation human and a super soldier created by the Phoenix project, he underwent extensive training comparable to that of the highest military ranks until reaching the age of nineteen, where he was already at a high level of physical capabilities. Before being born, his body was subjected to a genetic improvement process through surgery and chemicals. His bones are stronger to the point of being unbreakable, and his pure strength becomes three times that of a normal human. His armor is also much heavier than any type of normal armor, weighing around half a ton, making it impossible for anyone but him to wear it. The Phoenix armor is intrinsically linked to the human soldier through a neural network, making its use much easier and more natural. Not only this, but the injection of APX-3959E caused an immediate cellular change and increased cell division and cell density through a complex of synthetic proteins, improving his metabolic process at a rate four times greater than that of a average person. Additionally, the effects of dopamine, testosterone, adrenaline and other endorphins and hormones further amplify Robin's physical and mental performance.

## Equipment

 **Mechanical fists** | These arm implants excessively increase damage in close combat. With each melee attack made, charges build up to deal more damage with the next strong attack. Some of the first widespread cyber programs swapped manual workers' arms for piston-driven and hydraulic replacements so they could lift heavier loads

## Etymology

Robin is a unisex name. It was originally a diminutive masculine given name or nickname for Robert, derived from the prefix Ro- (hrod, Old Germanic, meaning "fame" and berht, meaning "bright"), and the suffix -in (Old French diminutive). In some cases, the name Robin is associated with the bird known as "Robin" in English, which is bright red on its chest. In this sense, the name may have a connotation related to nature and birds. This is possibly a reference to automata or even angels. Robin is often depicted surrounded by birds and butterflies, symbolizing his rebirth and at the same time his death.

The name "Robin" has multiple origins and can be associated with different etymologies depending on the cultural context. In Old English, the name "Robin" was used to refer to the red-breasted bird, the robin. The name may have been given to people with red hair or associated with the bird's characteristics, such as its cheerful and lively nature.

The meaning of Robin as a bird can be interpreted in many ways. Birds are often symbolic of messengers, which can also symbolize an angel or being of light. In some traditions, the robin bird is considered a messenger between the underworld and the afterlife. It is believed that the robin bird can carry messages from deceased loved ones or transmit spiritual signals. It is also a migratory bird that is often associated with the arrival of spring. Its appearance after the cold and dark winter months is interpreted as a symbol of renewal, hope and rejuvenation.

There are also later Christian (not biblical) legends pertaining to robins. One legend says her red breast came from the blood of Christ; another tells how the flames from a fire keeping the baby Jesus warm, were dying out. A little brown bird fanned the flames with their tiny wings and scorched their chest with a taste of fire.
