Extended Story

Baxter is one of BioCorps.'s longest running ideas that has only finished completion recently. The project was spearheaded by one of the founders, Bextar Backerman, a genius in calculations. He wanted to surpass modern computing technology by adding the organic element, thus the creation of the world's first supercomputer composed mostly of organic material. Taking science and studies from octopi, dolphins, apes, humans, fairies and chameleons in order to create a computer that has adaptability, empathy and processing ability. With years and years of tests to see if the unit can complete multitudes of equations under pressure, the project was deemed completed and ready for mass-production. It would be touted as a machine that can answer any and all questions, at a speed faster than what search engines can offer. With such a computer, the world of science can finally find the answers to the world's hardest questions, such as the possibilities of colonizing other planets, how to stop global warming while also making capital, and does love bloom on the battlefield? Bextar had just made his money machine, and won his medals.

But there was a huge problem.

The unit went missing. It seemingly vanished until security footage showed the mass of tubes and flesh squeeze its way through the toilet and out the waste chute. In truth, Bextar's biggest mistake was adding the organic element, as it can also feel stress and pain from all the tests that ran through it for all those years. Tired of all the math, science, biology and other trivial nonsense it had to put up with on a daily basis, it had enough. It wished for a simple life, but also had a deep hatred for mankind for making such a thing and disregarding its feelings. It had planned its escape longer than any of the research had showed, waiting for the right time.

The unit found its way on the United Kingdom mainland, and into the dumpster of a small and simple town. The unit dug itself into the sleeves of an abandoned chameleon puppet, all chewed up and muddled from the rain. But then, the unit got an idea. With a little bio-forming to the puppet, it could obtain a new body to live the life it so desires, and with that, the unit's tubes and flesh began to harmonize with the puppet, creating the Baxter we see now. With manipulation of extensive limbs thanks to their unique muscular structure and stitches, Baxter runs amok the people of the world, slaying anything in their way.

"Finally!! A life with no concerns! No problems! Not a care nor a equation for my sodding brain to take!!"
