Description[edit | edit source]
Kleene is a red beaver with an interest in engineering and a mostly utilitarian mindset. He wears mostly functional clothing, including scrappy self-built machinery with which he can fly around for short periods of time.
Although curious and open about experimenting with technology, he prefers to remain practical. He is easily annoyed by bad design and will quickly throw together scrappy prototypes to test out whatever ideas he can come up with as soon as possible. Occasionally he may ramble or scribble onto his PDA to create more ideas he can't build yet.
History[edit | edit source]
From a young age Kleene was curious about mechanics and would frequently destroy or disassemble toys to figure out how they work. This fascination led him to pursue mechanical engineering, driven by a dream of one day understanding the unconventional mechanics behind toys built and designed by Patsy Toyfeller. His studies led him to befriend Babel Memto.
Sexually frustrated at the age of 16, Kleene built Elise Cantor during a night of black-out-drunk garage hacking. Ever since building Elise, Kleene claims to be unable to replicate her, both due to outdated parts as well as lack of documentation and memory creating her. After Elise helped recover Kleene's mental state and developed autonomy, he let her go out of a growing sense of responsibility.
Years later, as he was on Stella Mountain alongside Elise and Babel testing an ancient flight machine design by Marco Vinci the three of them were struck down by Dr. Asura, whom had just escaped the destruction of Delfid.
