Name: Breckenridge Devatta Stonemason

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Asexual, and Aromantic

Appearance:

Three out of Breck's four limbs have been replaced with his own advanced prosthesis, all of which sport an aesthetically attractive silver hue with an electric blue trim (See legs for color scheme). Breckenridge stands at an even 6'0, and with a bit of a dadbod weighs in at around 195lbs. He has a gentle but confidant posture, his back straight and shoulders broad, but he does well not to over-posturize, and takes care not to puff his chest or raise his chin.

His attire and aesthetic match that of a lumberjack, and he can be seen exclusively wearing flannels of reds and browns tucked into simple blue jeans. He's also known to sport simple work boots, and a pair of reddened leather suspenders. He purposefully keeps the sleeves of his flannel rolled up at all times, openly displaying the Fragmented mark on his left wrist, and his prosthetic right arm.

Personality:
In short, Breckenridge is one of the kindest, most generous men you're ever likely to meet. He is deeply philanthropic, and strives to be fair and encouraging in everything he does. Unlike some, he does not do good things for the feelings that accumulate from positive attention, but rather because he believes himself duty-bound to do the most good he can for this world. He is also incredibly intelligent, but rather than cold and calculating or cruel and cunning, he is wise and warm. He is incredibly patient, and believes deeply that every person alive has good in them, and simply need the motivation to act upon it.

He will trust you, regardless of if you've given him reason not to. He will help you, even if you don't ask for it. He will let you take advantage of him, even if he knows your intents.

Biography:
Breck was born and raised in a small town just south of the Canadian Border in Washington State to his single mother Brooklyn. His father had allegedly died in the war, but he had come to believe that was simply the story of a mother trying to protect her son from the abandonment she felt. His mother had gotten pregnant in her senior year of high school, and unable to balance pursuing a degree, affording basic necessities, and raising a child, he and his mother moved in with his grandparents. Originally, the plan was that his mother would get her degree and begin a career, and they would move out to their own home. However, that plan changed when Brooklyn's mother, Lydia, passed away shortly after Brook had graduated with her Nursing degree. From then on, Brooklyn and Breckenridge decided to continue living at home with Brook's father, Alan. Alan was a retired electrical engineer, and as he was both Breck's primary caretaker and only paternal figure, he cultivated a fascination and love for technology and engineering in Breck, which would only grow alongside his interest in human anatomy as he aged.

The markings on Breckenridge's wrists were thought to be little more than birthmarks, as the concept of a fragmented person was so foreign to his family that they didn't even consider it to be a possibility until later in his life.

In regards to his adolescent years, Breckenridge excelled far beyond his peers in every subject, particularly those regarding math and science. Socially however, he fell behind his peers. He was not anti-social, nor disliked, he simply found it difficult to create deep, meaningful relationships with the people around him. Every attempt was met with failure, as he was surrounded by an ever pervasive feeling that each person he befriended was lacking something intrinsically, that there was a key component they were missing that prevented him from becoming attached. This incomprehensible sensation grew and manifested itself in the form of isolation and distance, Breckenridge would actively avoid engaging with his peers in any capacity, as he believed that attempting to befriend them would only be a disservice, as any time either party invested in each other would be null in the face of this sense of lacking. Instead he focused on cultivating his interests and pursuing his hobbies, which involved engineering practical robotics and researching the human anatomy and how electricity could impact it.

Upon graduating high school at the ripe age of 14, Breck received a military-funded full ride scholarship to Cambridge University, with a stipulation that he would be contractually obligated to work at the U.S. Naval base in Virginia Beach after receiving his degrees to further military research into experimental maritime technology. Breckenridge agreed, and left his home in Washington to attend college in Massachusetts.

After graduating at 20 with a Masters Degree in both Bio-Chemistry and Electrical engineering, Breckenridge moved to Virginia Beach to begin working on an aquatic exo-suit designed to allow naval engineers to preform hull repairs without porting a naval vessel. Breckenridge was the acting head of this project, as his educational background made him best suited to lead the project.

Six months after he and his team began working on development of the S.H.R.A.M. (Sub-aquatic Hull Repair and Assessment Module), a fatal error was made. The Lithium-Ion battery developed specifically to power the SHRAM had been assembled using cheaper materials than advised by Breck and his team, which resulted in an explosion during routine testing, which was being carried out at the time by Breckenridge himself. The explosion resulted in the emergency amputation of his right arm, and both of his legs, as he had been standing to the left of the SHRAM prototype conducting routine software diagnostics at a desktop computer when the battery blew.

Following the SHRAM accident, Breckenridge was dismissed from his previous contractual obligation to conduct R&D for the military, and was also granted a large settlement of 5.5 million USD, after signing a nondisclosure of course. Following his immediate medical treatment, he returned home to Washington State and began undergoing physical therapy. He was provided with state of the art prosthesis for his missing limbs, but their inefficiency and difficulty to use drove him mad. Then, one day, he achieved a sort of clarity, and immediately hid himself away into his garage/work-space.

For six months he holed himself away in that garage, leaving only to use the restroom twice a day, like clockwork. In that garage he worked endlessly, sleeping in 15 minute intervals every four hours, and stopping to eat once every two to three days until one day, he emerged.

He emerged walking on two fully functional bionic legs, and with a fully functioning bionic right arm. He had used his settlement as funding, and combined his knowledge of the human body and electrical engineering to create the most advanced prosthesis known to man. The prosthesis were controlled by the existing neural pathways in his body, and could be installed through an automated process that was encoded into the prosthesis's software. That was the day that BLI (Better Living Industries) was created, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of every human alive with affordable and reliable technology.

Four years later, BLI had become one of the largest technology companies in the world, their prosthetic lines were massed produced and even the most advanced models cost less than the average T.V. The company had moved on to create translators, sustainable green energy sources, electric cars that outperformed fossil-fuel powered vehicles at every term, and cost about half as much to produce. All of it done under the supervision of the Fragmented genius who demanded that the world live the best life it could.

Despite being the CEO and owner of one of the most profitable organizations in the world, Breckenridge lead a humble, quiet life. His team of advisers managed the majority of the business's operations, and Breck was, for the most part, left to live peacefully in the mountains of his home state. His mother and Papa would visit him from time to time, and although they feared for their son becoming one of the Lost, they understood that he didn't mind dieing young, so long as he left the world a better place when he did. Aside from his family's occasional visits, he had his pet cat, Cleopatra, to keep him company. He spent his time in seclusion to explore things beyond science and anatomy. He picked up pottery, and art, and spent a great deal of his time reading and sipping wine. When he received an invitation to meet with other Fragmented, like himself, he took Cleo to his Mother's home, and set off, hoping that perhaps there he would find the key every other person thus far had been missing.

-Breckenridge has made it a point that everyone working for his company receives comparative Salaries and benefits, the average salary for his employees is 125k, along with the best healthcare and insurance money can buy. BLI also donates millions to charity, but refuses to use them as a tax write-off, as he believes strongly that doing so counteracts the purpose of charity.

-Breckenridge has a notable level of fame despite keeping his public appearances to a minimum. He's comparable to Elon Musk, albeit not as generally shitty of a person.

-Breckenridge has stated that the reason he chooses to openly display both his prosthesis and Fragmented mark is because "The choices I make can influence others in ways that are unimaginable. So, I chose to proudly display my prosthesis; so the veteran seeing me on the news understands that he doesn't need to be ashamed of his. So that the child with degenerative limb diseases doesn't believe something is wrong with her, because she has metal where others have skin. I don't hide who I am, because doing so would suggest that those like me should hide themselves as well. Every person alive deserves to be comfortable in their skin, and proud of who they are."
