2006. After listening to a FunKy AD from Hero 1 and 2 on a withered Walkman, the mysterious child felt Da spark of inspiration from Charlie's boombox. Converting the Daft yet funky sounds he heard into something of his imagination, he transforms the cassette tape. Inserting his creation into the VCR, he gazes into the screen and floats into the Beyond, where his mind is transported to a galaxy with 5,555 stars. Losing himself to dance, rhythm, and FunK... Contact is made... a new soul emerges. "____! Dinner is ready"! The interruption brings our Voyager Face to Face with reality, yearning to drift away One More Time. ____ begrudgingly pauses the tape and exits his room, hoping he isn't gone for Too Long. As he walks towards the kitchen, he feels a call from Within. For he too wanted to be a hero... 

Welcome home _____.

2005. A young mysterious child named ___ plays in front of his TV, immersed in his own world. Holding robot figures he knew not the names of, one gold and one chrome, he zooms around in excitement. "What should I name you guys?", he thinks to himself. For their story was his to tell. "Hmm. Hero 1 and Hero 2!", he shouts as he leaps across the room, landing on the TV remote on the floor. 

CLICK!

The TV flickers, playing a recording from a popular music program named MTV AMP, catching the child's attention. He stops in his tracks, bewildered by what he sees... a giant dog walking around in a big city at night. Who recorded this? But something in particular stands out to him. "What's that daft lookin' dog holding?"...

Charlie's Boombox.

1997, Charlie's Boombox

Determined to follow in the Daft duo's footsteps, X tracks down a certain dog's prints to the sandy dunes of a particular beach in southern California. Making his first public appearance, he dons his mysterious cloak and heads towards the crashing tides. Onlookers can't help but notice the seemingly out-of-place android. Taking in the view, it all feels so surreal to the young protegee. At this very spot stood his mentors... his heroes, whom he had yet to meet. As he stared out into the sea, seagulls calling, the sun setting, the wind blowing... he felt something overwhelming. The pull of destiny. This place was showing him his future, solidifying his path, shaping his technological wonder of a soul. But would he be able to live up to their legacy? He wondered.

Greetings human(s), let me introduce myself. I am an autonomous android tasked with the directive to connect humans through the delivery of auditory mediums, or "making music," as you may say. Through this medium, I simulate the "human experience" through a variety of sensations... and a lot of 808s. My model number is VMX31, but you can call me X.
