Biography- The short and sweet :::
Calus was mauled and fatally poisoned by a rather large rabid Malboro during a bout of mushroom gathering one day. It was quick and unsuspecting... and frightening enough to burn into memory. Though he survived the attack after a miraculous rescue from another adventurer, who then took him to an infirmary stat, the poison had seeped too deep for the assisting conjurers at hand. Through normal means, Esuna could purge poison, but this particular Malboro was extremely potent. One would question if an experiment was involved.
He didn't want to die. Calus told his family his wishes and, luckily within the same city, an Alchemist was called to provide a mutually agreed upon means to continue living through another form and ease the process of transfer with it. Though his biological form would be gone, he could possess an automaton and given a skin in the likeness of his original form. That skin would be resistant to the common elements, capable of protecting its interior, but alchemic potions were needed for more extreme temperatures. Likewise, said potions, were also needed to enjoy the taste of food again (something Calus was very concerned with; though it wasn't necessary to function). With the help of an engineer and a parts collector from Azys Lla, the automaton creation was a success. Calus was able to live on in this form, albeit inferior and superior to his past, forever tied until the "death". He decided to dedicate his life to seeing the world and becoming all that he could be, much to his family's concerns. He needed to appreciate, once more, the joys of living.
Special Notes:
Calus retains his memories of recognizing situations based on emotions ( to be sad when appropriate, for example), though cannot directly feel it. Only sensed within his mind. He cannot cry, express intense hatred, feel pain, etc. (something he's had to adjust to). Alchemy potions and routine maintenance are needed to prevent absolute system shutdown and thus, expelling his soul into the spirit realm. Minor potions allow him to enjoy food again by activating special tongue receptors, linking them to his essence. Digestion involves an installed food processor that, like a kitchen gadget, cuts all food into smaller portions to be delivered into a chamber that collects in a bucket, which is to be emptied and cleaned every night or food scraps can be used for faster composting/fertilizer. Potions are used also for cleaning and sterilizing.
Mecha-Z-Oil gives a system boost during battle, as well as a barrier for the outer skin to prevent tearing. (they're splashed onto the body) Much like how the Namazu drink tea for good times, Calus can also simulate a good time by directly consuming Mecha-Z-Oil, in which gives him a tipsy state and feeling of heaviness and focus. Somehow it allows for him to feel good to the core of his soul.
