PAST
Grew up in a small village on an oasis tucked away on an obscure corner of the world!
Doesn't know who his parents are but that doesn't matter since the concept of family isn't strong as opposed to clans where everyone just sorta looks after each other.
Befriends a massive ~legacy~ when he was around six in his secret hideout
Said legacy is Flinch, who is really just a gigantic robot that was built before 'Nero Happened' whose design was inspired by Quetzalcoatl.
Flinch then teaches him everything about science and machines and the time before 'Nero Happened' and gives Ari a GPS sort of tracker thing that allows Ari to locate Flinch whenever.
One day the villagers find out about Flinch and set out to destroy it since robots and anything science was taboo
During the attack Flinch goes rogue/war mode!
Then it shoots lasers and flies away into the distance
Ari then grinds the GPS thing into fancy nano bits/magnetic dust (hush I'm not a scientist), and with a touch of magic tattoos a compass rose (that turns) with an extra arrow that always points in Flinch's direction onto the side of his stomach
And sets out to find his old mentor before more people find and destroy it
RELATIONSHIPS
Flinch; mentor/teacher/best friend!
Dalisay; doesn't really know what to think of her but settles readily into the role of the hardworking and honest younger brother of a irresponsible and childish sister
