Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was once a boy named Basil Croix. Basil was born to a very poor family, Basil and his older brother, Elias, would often be abused by their father who had a gambling addiction so bad that he once tried to sell Basil to clear up some of his debts. In their rotten family, the only two people that were ever kind to him was Elias and their mother who was very ill and feared the safety for her children should they try to escape the abusive father. Do to their abusive father, the two brothers would quickly become pick pockets and would often steal from people in their town. Often they would be caught in the act and once their father learned of what they did, he would beat them. At the age of eight, another member of their family would be born, this time it was a girl who instantly took a liking to her older brothers. However the minute she was birthed, the illness had finally taken their mother away from the three children, effectively living them to the mercy of their abusive father.

The three siblings would often have to hide from their father whenever he got home and if he found them, a beating would follow. However each time he tried to beat his daughter, the two brothers would take a beating in her place. It was one day where their father had given his daughter a black eye while Basil and Elias had gone out to get money by doing odd jobs for various people rather steal, not wanting to set a bad example for their little sister. When Elias learned that their father had given Cosmina the black eye, he told Basil to Cosmina into their room and lock and barricade the door; they were not to open the door unless they got four light knocks which would be Elias's sign of telling them it was clear. After an hour, they had heard a gunshot and sound of a heavy body dropping coming from downstairs and both wanted to see what happened, but neither would move from the room as their older brother instructed. Once the four light knocks were made, the two siblings would unlock the door only to find that blood was splattered across Elias's face. He had shot their father the second he walked through the front door from the casino without any money in his pockets. With their father dead, Basil and Cosmina were free while Elias would have to spend the rest of his life in prison. After the police arrived, Basil and Cosmina were taken to a orphanage where they would not stay long as their uncle and his wife, Junius and Zona Wolferstan, would come and adopt them within a month after their arrival. The two were now apart of a family again.

The boy and girl who were spared from a life of abusive hell thanks to the sacrifice of Elias were now living happily with their uncle and his wife. Their uncle was a genius inventor in the field of robotics, often creating the two of them toys that would actually interact with them and follow their commands. Indeed Junius was the father they never had and they had wished Elias could be enjoying the love he gave them as well. Basil had grown so much love for his new father that he would often beat up other kids or attempt to beat up any adults who would dare try to speak ill of him or Zona. This would be often as Junius was a well renowned scientist, but he was seen as crazy for also saying that he could merge both magic and technology with one another. After coming up from getting beaten up by tougher kids, Junius would have to scold Basil but would never strike him, but would rather thank him at the end of the scolding for caring about his uncle so much. Now twenty five and getting a major in robotics, Basil had become his uncle's lab assistant, always helping him with the smallest task, rewriting programs, fixing robots that had malfunctioned, and of course providing his Uncle moral support. However as months went on, the doctor had slowly become more frustrated as his attempts to create a Technomagical Automaton failed time and time again. It was one night when Basil had returned to his apartment after a stressful day at trying to calm down his uncle. The young man was worn out, he didn't know what else to say to his uncle at all or how to reassure him...Deciding that it was best to go to bed, Basil had stripped down to his boxers, got in bed, and fell asleep. However this would be his last night asleep as a arsonist had set fire to the apartment complex Basil was staying in and despite all of his attempts to escape, he could not and the lab assistant had burned to death.

It is the year 2011, a mad scientist has finished his schematics for four machines to be used for his plan to eradicate all organic life on Earth. AMA-001 "Zeus", ASA-002 "Athena", AAA-003 "Vulcan", and ACA-004 "Talos". Each machine was created with the combination of technology and magic, making them Technomagical beings that were capable of destruction should they work together. Once the Purification Initiative was started, these four machines would be set out into the world to eliminate any and all resistance, including Augustine Academy. It would take two years just to make one. Upon the four Units being created, they were tasked with eliminating prototype versions of themselves. The four would easily obliterate their predecessors with Unit 1 acting as their leader. With their final test completed, the four units would be hooked into a single computer which would download their main objective into their programming. As the installation was at fifty percent, they would suddenly be disconnected from the super computer. As they were disconnected, someone would install their own program onto them via a portable terminal. Once their program was installed, each unit would awaken with their own unique personality while still knowing what their original programming was. Being talked into leaving their creator's lab by Zeus, the four units would escape and into the world, causing a large halt in the Purification Initiative as their liberator destroyed not only the super computer they were hooked into, but their schematics and all data on them as well, making it impossible to recreate the four units. As per Zeus's advice, the four units would have to go their separate ways in order to prevent all four of them being found at once by the B.E.C.. With each of them at different corners of the Earth and suppressing their powers, Vulcan found himself in Japan where he would spend a majority of his time doing odd jobs around the city of Akibahara, mostly acting as a chef in some restaurants and making food for the homeless. For a majority of his new life, Vulcan had enjoyed it, however he still somewhat missed his siblings and wanted to actually fight every now and then. Within a month he had picked up Talos's signal, that his powers had gone off, which gave Vulcan a good excuse to actually go see his little brother unit and perhaps even get into a interesting situation.
