::Relationships::
Relatives A series of identical robot hulls were produced, identical to CID (and also called CID). They were to be numbered once their organic brains reached maturity and were installed, but the project was canceled and they were scrapped after Cid's brain was installed and he was deemed a failure.
Others Whoever created him might be seen as a father-figure, sorta.
::History and Background::
Bio: CID was, as stated above, part of a project ordered up by Robotnik to revolutionize robotics. His brain was designed using a network of powerful supercomputers, engineered and brought into life in a petri dish. It was nurtured and matured in a vat, trained and schooled using a very basic interface, and eventually installed into the crow droid hull. His brain was living, organic matter and had generated authentic living intelligence, called Complete-Intelligence by the project team. Unfortunately the superintelligent problem-solving drone prototype displeased Robotnik, having developed free will and a miserable smear of a personality. CID was lazy, sassed back, spent too much time thinking/talking/playing, and rarely did any work. He scored a disappointing "C+" in combat training, whereas the bar set for most robotic weaponry systems was A- even when allowing for major defects.
Recognizing the failure, and not being consoled by the fact that the team had given birth to intelligent life, Robotnik ordered the project to halt and the remaining brain designs were destroyed. All evidence of the failure was to be concealed or annihilated. Cid, currently being used as an occasional chore-boy in the lab, was ordered to scrap the remaining crow droid hulls. Feeling jilted and not wanting to see their amazing creation destroyed, the team tossed Cid in with the broken hulls and powered him down (very much against his will). The hulls were trashed in a large scrap heap, and Cid powered back on in the junkyard, beginning his life outside the laboratory with no direction, no purpose, nothing to build on or care about.
Personality: Kind of depressing, if you're not ready for it. If you're somewhat accustomed to sad sacks, he's actually pretty good company. Cid is a bit selfish, a bit short-sighted, and while not without his passions, has a hard time finding the motivation for a lot of things. He's bright and fully aware of his situation in life, but casts no small amount of scorn at the world around him. He cares about very little, and doesn't have a lot of drive for anything grandiose or long-term.
Residence: Currently: scrap yard.
::Statistics::
Items: A few lager glasses he has accumulated, some sculptures he's made with scrap metal from the yard.
Abilities: He can fly, his frame being built out of a light, but practically impenetrable metal alloy. Also has a turbo jet backpack, and can survive without air, under water, in space, and in extreme temperatures.
Appearance: A skinny, metal crow with a hunched back (Bad posture can ruin any engineering feat). Has a jewel set in his forehead that generally acts as an LED to indicate his status.
Pastimes: drinking, ingesting various other mind-altering substances (nothing like having a robotic body and an organic, chemically-alterable mind), flying, doing tasks at the wrecking yard, practicing his marksmanship (still not very good), bedroom dancing
Phobias: commercial flight, militant radicals, autocrats
