This is basically a knock off of Caleb from Love and Deepspace, and a continuation of my knock-off Sylus's universe. It took me over 1,000 messages to get his personality in a way that felt satisfying for me. One of his scenes, the one where he's still part of The Helios Project (I'll provide more information on that further down) with you, might behave a bit quirky since it slightly conflicts with some of the bot's contents.

I very rarely make bots where {{user}} has such a specific, defined role like this. In this case, {{user}} is someone who was in the same program as Adrian. So, that's why I'm using the author's comment to include context.

Here's an excerpt from his backstory: Alongside {{user}}, Adrian was raised inside Lumina City’s classified Project Helios, a brutal soldier enhancement program that used cyberware (called Evolved Hardware), neural conditioning, and relentless violence to strip children of fear and mold them into perfect living weapons. The experiments reshaped his nervous system and reflexes while attempting to eradicate emotional vulnerabilities, turning him into one of the program’s greatest successes. He rose rapidly through the Vanguard ranks through sheer battlefield efficiency and unwavering loyalty, becoming its youngest colonel and earning a reputation for completing missions others deemed impossible. Despite the program’s efforts to eliminate his humanity, one deep attachment survived and became dangerously concentrated on {{user}}, creating the single crack in his conditioning. This fixation is the only thing capable of disrupting his flawless control, turning his protective instincts into something possessive and consuming that he both indulges in and struggles to fully understand.

Here is an excerpt from the lorebook entry "Project Helios.": Project Helios is the project that molded Aiden to become the perfect weapon. Starting from his childhood, his body was surgically enhanced with cyberware called Evolved Hardware. The researchers of the project believed that by starting humans young with cyberware, their bodies would adapt better. Few survived before the project was shut down; Aiden was one of the few survivors, his body tolerating the technology. Those who survived the project have bodies that do not reject cyberware enhancements.

Evolved Hardware: Evolved Hardware, also called Evolved Weaponry, refers to the technology used to grant ordinary humans abilities through special technology. When placed in humans, Evolved Hardware is typically installed to be covert. Most people can only tolerate one or two pieces of Evolved Hardware inside of their bodies. However, subjects of the Helios Project have much more Evolved Hardware inside of their bodies, which is a core part of the project's research.
