Character Name: MOMO (Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus) Mizrahi
Series/Book/Manga/Game/Movie: Xenosaga
Background: (Spoilers abound!!!) MOMO is the 100-Series Observational Realian Prototype created by Dr Joachim Mizrahi. Mizrahi created all 100-Series Realians in the likeness of his deceased daughter, Sakura. MOMO is special in that she contains Mizrahi's secret data, the Y-Data, deep within her subconscious. MOMO is being sought by the U-TIC Organization so they can obtain that data from her. Her 'mother' Juli, Mizrahi's widow and Sakura's mother, has assigned a cyborg named Ziggurat 8 (whom MOMO nicknamed Ziggy) as MOMO's personal bodyguard to keep the data, and, yes, MOMO, safe. MOMO was kidnapped once by U-TIC and then again by Albedo, who implanted a virus in her AI to infect the UMN, but the virus failed when MOMO shut down her neural network to revent the UMNs destruction. Jr., chaos, Ziggy, and Shion dove into MOMO's subconscious with KOS-MOS's battle data in order to eradicate the virus and save MOMO's personality matrix. MOMO requested permission from Juli Mizrahi to continue working with her friends in the investigations surrounding the Y-Data. MOMO has the ability to use Ether and the Hilbert Effect. Her Ether skills are very strong in healing and defensive abilities. Her appearance is that of a 12-year-old girl, and she will never age physically. Her skills as an Observational Realian include sensing gnosis, mechs, and biological beings, piloting, navigation, and some battle skills. MOMO is very close to Jr. and still carries a "lucky bullet" with the phrase, "Sayonara, baby," engraved on it that he gave her shortly after they met.
Personality: MOMO was programmed and developed with the emotions and personality of a 12-year-old girl. This is believed to be part of a possible attempt by Joachim Mizrahi to reclaim his deceased Sakura by creating MOMO. However, MOMO's personality is much different, having developed through interactions with others around her and from experiences in her life. She's friendly and outgoing, can be serious when she needs to be, and is always willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed.
Story on how your character ended up on the island: After the disappearance of both chaos and Jr. in Enchaphalon dives, no one had gone diving alone. However, now that it's been a year with no sign of them, MOMO gets an idea and convinces Allen to let her dive alone without anyone else knowing what she's doing. Her dive works, and she lands on the island.
Information on Realians: Realians are a race of artificial humans. A wonder of molecular bioengineering, their biological composition comes in various forms based on need, from carbon based duplicates of real humans to those based on silicon or liquid metal. Many of the Realians onboard the Woglinde were made by Vector Industries, and they are hybrid models with a carbon/silicon base. One of Xenosaga's lead characters, MOMO, is a specially designed Realian. Since the Miltian Conflict, the alteration of a Realian's emotions is no longer allowed. The only exceptions are for Realians in the military or other dangerous occupations, such as terraforming. Their basic rights equal those of humans and are recognized by law. However, due to the fact that their minds are initialized with a slight bias, all Realians tend to display similar personality traits. This bias is applied not only for the purpose of preventing criminal behavior by Realians, but also in consideration of humans who may feel threatened by their "superiority" (albeit only in certain specialized skills). In this context, Realians would be closer to bioroids than androids due to their composition and creation process (see Replicant).
Several companies manufacture Realians, but Vector makes the basic program (in other words the central nervous system) of all Realians. The program is essentially a black box, and any modification beyond regular maintenance and adjustments can be performed only by Vector personnel. Apparently the materials used to create Realian nervous tissues also act like some kind of intoxicant drug, and people like 1st Lieutenant Virgil have been known to murder Realians and consume their flesh. Consuming Realian tissue causes DME Addiction, which results in considerable mental instability, hardening and cornification of the skin and in some worse cases, death.
Various types of Realians are produced to suit various needs. Observational Realians, like MOMO and the 100 Series units, seen in operation onboard the Kukai Foundation's flagship Durandal, are designed to interact with the systems of a starship and scan for Gnosis. These models were originally constructed by Dr. Joachim Mizrahi and modeled after his young daughter Sakura Mizrahi, who died tragically many years before the start of Episode I. "Weapons Grade" Realians are manufactured by Vector and sold to the Federation military and normally stationed onboard Federation starships. Civilian models also appear to be manufactured as several Realians looking like 20-something versions of the child-like Observational units have been seen assisting government officials like Representative Helmer of Second Miltia and other GFG delegates. These units are most likely manufactured to be secretaries or other types of personal assistants.
