KOR started out like any other smeet, but with one difference. By the time the others smeets had started to run KOR had just learned to stand up. He ran away whenever another smeet approached him. Of course those in charge of taking care of the smeets suspected something was wrong with him. "He bit me when I tried to feed him!" Cried one of KOR's caretakers, a short Irken named Ell. "He bit me! Smeets aren't supposed to bite!" "All smeets develop differently, he'll grow out of it...." Lik, another caretaker, replied. This wasn't the first time Ell had complained about KOR's odd behaviour. "I've seen him with the others, he isn't normal." Herr spoke up from the back of the room. Lik sighed. "Why won't you just let him be? He's perfectly normal, stop labelling him as some kind of freak!" But the other caretakers didn't seem to hear him. "He's probably a defective or something!" Ell snapped. "He won't last a day once training starts!" Herr nodded in agreement. Lik glanced at both of them before leaving the room, they'd see that nothing was wrong with the smeet.
By the time Invader training began KOR had grown taller than most of the other smeets that he had been raised alongside. But this was overlooked because he could barely run, because of this he failed most of the training exercises that he was forced to do. He didn't know why this was happening to him, all he knew was that his instructors were unhappy with him. As KOR got older he was bullied by his peers. "Hey KOR! If you hate training so much why don't you just run away? Oh wait, you can't!" A female Irken named Tak laughed. "You wouldn't last a.....a........minute!" Sel shouted, Tak turned towards her. "That wasn't even funny!" She growled, embarrassed by her friend's attempt at a insult. "S-sorry......" Sel muttered, shamefully. "Can you just leave me alone? What have I ever done to you?" KOR asked. "You're a embarrassment to the Irken Empire, you'll never become an invader!" Tak took a step towards him, KOR gulped and took a step back. "Y-yeah!" Sel piped in. "Y-you suck-" a icy glance from Tak made her stop. "You can't run, you can't jump, you can barely walk! You're not meant to be an invader! Unlike me, I'll become the best invader ever, maybe even a future tallest!" Tak boasted. "Well maybe I don't want to be an invader!" KOR replied. "Don't make me laugh, everyone wants to be an invader!" She smirked. "Y-you're just jealous b-because you won't ever be an invader!" Sel stuttered. KOR hesitated before taking a step towards them. "You know what? I don't want to become an invader! Not if I have to work alongside Irkens like you!" He growled before turning and walking away from his tormentors. And that was how KOR began studying to become a engineer, and that's when the story begins.
