Reuben is the head of a small team of programmers, which call themselves "The Brainsmiths", responsible for the creation of the majority of the AIs used in Schatten System. They operate from a small lab somewhere in Nimbus Station, dubbed "The Brainforge".
Personality
Reuben is an easy-minded individual and rather loose with his subordinates as long as he and his team get the job done. He dislikes interruptions, especially uninvited or unannounced ones, and prefers to sit in his lab all day, drink green tea (Sencha) by the barrel and code away. He is infinitely patient and even explains things multiple times without complaining - the one receiving the explanations should show signs of willingness to learn in that case. As a developer, he has a thirst for new technologies and experiments to the point of regularly dedicating one day of the week (usually the last) solely to learn.
He does get along with most AIs pretty well. He likes to talk to them while developing and troubleshooting their problems.
Special Skills
- Basic handling of handguns (Part of the Basic Training every Solas Tempus Employee receives).
- Technology and Engineering related to AIs and Multinodal Cores
- Organization for a group of 5.
Background
Reuben chose the technical career early on his life. After he went to a high school specialized in education on technology and engineering, he continued this tendency in his undergrad and Master's degree. During his study, he early on gained a reputation of being criminally smart and motivated. The best to graduate in a century. He even managed to graduate one year earlier. After study, he got to select his future employer; amongst those recruiting him was Starfleet, Dark Triad Inc (who, at this point, already stole a project of him and developed it further unbeknownst to him), Excalibur Inc. and Solas Tempus. He ended up choosing Solas Tempus and attended the Solas Tempus Academy, where he graduated after a few years. During this time, he developed his own projects even further and even managed to get some minor contributions to the ATP-Protocol in. Shortly after graduation, he was assigned to the Starbase Tranquility, where he served as an Ensign in a team of programmers and engineers. The team created AIs.
Following the newly arising need of AIs in Schatten System, Reuben was reassigned to Nimbus Station where got his own team.
