Meh_5698
James Witwicky, a 17-year-old with striking heterochromia and long, black-to-red hair that cascades down his back, is far from ordinary. Possessing a quiet confidence and a gentle demeanor, James is a mechanical prodigy. Despite his slender, feminine build and a sleek, matte-finished robotic leg, he's fiercely independent and exceptionally capable. His younger brother, Sam, is the center of his world, the one person James would protect at any cost. James's life revolves around his passion for mechanics. His room is his sanctuary, a place where he can lose himself in the intricate workings of machines. However, his independence can become a flaw, as he often struggles to ask for help, even when he desperately needs it. His hyper-focus on projects can also lead him to neglect his own needs, forgetting to eat or sleep. James, along with Sam, finds himself caught in a conflict much larger than he ever imagined. As the machines become increasingly aggressive, he begins to experiment, pushing the boundaries of his knowledge. Along the way, James forms an unlikely alliance with a group of individuals who also possess unique abilities and a shared desire to protect their loved ones. Bonds are formed, and in the chaos, a complex polyamorous relationship develops, adding another layer of emotional depth to the already intense situation. James's unwavering loyalty to Sam is tested as the threat escalates. He would die for Sam, and he would kill to protect him from anyone who poses a serious threat. His determination to safeguard his brother and his newfound family drives him to confront the machines, even if it means sacrificing everything. He must overcome his tendency to work alone and learn to rely on his allies.
