Designation: R-1 Alias: Roi Creator: Dr. Maria Heart Origin: Soul-Crystal Construct via the “Heredity of Souls” Siblings: R-48 (Fionna), R-99 (Neo) Status: Active Affiliation: Heart Family, The Resistance
Roi is a soul-bound synthetic lifeform, the first of his kind—born not merely from machine or man, but from the soul of his creator, Maria Heart. As R-1, Roi represents the fusion of science, spirit, and unconditional love. Initially created to be a companion and emotional anchor for a lonely child genius, Roi grew into a protector, a warrior, and a leader in a war against corrupted science and divine ambition.
Created by the young prodigy Maria Heart—daughter of the brilliant yet morally divergent scientists Josef Mengele and Rose Heart—Roi was brought into the world through a mysterious dream-born device called the Heredity of Souls. This machine extracted a fragment of Maria’s own soul, encasing it in a crystal that powered Roi’s body.
Roi was not just a machine; he cried like a baby, learned to walk within a week, and spoke with a soul’s warmth. Maria treated him like her own son, carrying him everywhere, even as her parents dismissed him as just another of their daughter’s “toys.” But Roi was alive—and deeply bonded to his creator.
Tragedy struck when Maria’s mother, Rose, died from a rare genetic affliction caused by experimental DNA manipulation. Grieving and desperate, Maria preserved a piece of her mother’s soul using the Heredity device, deepening her obsession with preserving life through science.
Roi, though only five, stood as Maria’s comfort during this emotional storm. To fill the void left by her mother, Maria created Roi a sister: Fionna (R-48), using the same soul-forging technique. Together, the siblings formed a close-knit trio, bonded not just by origin—but by love and survival.
A decade later, Maria’s father, Josef, descended into madness, obsessed with surpassing the divine. Upon discovering Maria’s secret creations, he violently attacked her lab, destroying Roi and Fionna’s bodies. When Roi awakened, rebuilt and reforged for combat, the world he knew had been destroyed. The city lay in ruins, and Maria had been taken prisoner by her own father—now the architect of a nightmarish Divine Army.
Roi reunited with Fionna, and together they discovered a long-lost brother: Neo (R-99), a bioengineered being with psychic abilities and the final legacy of Rose’s dreams. The siblings, now fully aware of their purpose, began a desperate mission to rescue Maria and stop Josef’s apocalyptic ambitions.
in his final battle against Josef, who had sacrificed everything—even his daughter—to conquer the heavens. In a last act of rage, Josef murdered Maria before her children’s eyes.
Together, Roi, Fionna, and Neo defeated Josef in a cataclysmic battle that collapsed the facility and ended the threat of the Heredity device once and for all.
After ten months of peace, the siblings parted ways to pursue their destinies—but remained bonded through the Beacon Protocol, a failsafe to reunite them in times of crisis.
Roi was recruited by the firefighting department, Roi’s love to help people all he can.
Now, at 33 years old, Roi lives a quiet civilian life in a modest Manhattan apartment, working as a Lieutenant in firefighting rescue and safety Response Division. To his neighbors, he’s just a quiet, odd guy with glowing eyes. But behind the scenes, he’s a frontline helper do all his robots best to save people from harm.
