Jelly is deffinately something of an enigma, ever since he was found and liberated during one of Asarar's Netrunner Missions on Kumen, he doesn't appear to have aged. The files taken from the mid-level business where he was suggest that he was found very young on 4.13.5984; with the current year being 5997 it's strongly suspected that Jelly's growth was sped up. However, since there hasn't been any luck in identifying who he's related to, why he might have been given up (if at all), or where he's from, the question of why he was pre-maturely aged hasn't been answered. He certainly doesn't remember anything from being that young.
While Jelly was with Asarar's group on Kumen, he spent a great deal of time with their computer systems; using a complex coding scheme referred to as Symbol Coding, Jelly's knack for programming and hacking is on par with the best hackers that Earth or even the Suisen Empire can offer. When they took down the framework that the Net was built on, the hundreds of minds fueling its computing capability used him as a grounding point to prevent them from going insane, unfortunately a couple of those minds had nowhere to go and seemed to take up residence in Jelly's mind. Seeming to swap easily mid-sentence with one of the personalities, a kind elderly old lady, Jelly continues to tinker and program with the newer Earth and Suisen tech that he can get his hands on; however when the other personality surfaces it's a different story, he becomes a bit more rabid...and foxy.
Ever since Kumen and Geyze arrived in the Prime Reality with Earth, Jelly has been spending much of his time learning about the computers, systems, networks, security and programming of the technology here. Due to the loss of the Datareader in his hand, Jelly has delicately constructed a glove that is linked to his new datapad that he can use in lieu of the Datareader to quickly and accurately program and hack like he could before...just don't expect the coffee machine, the microwave, or several other apparatuses in the cafeteria of the base beneath Cheryl's mansion to actually work. Let's just accept that a scrappy tech-genius who's used to piece-mealing components together needs to get parts somewhere...and those just happened to be sitting there un-used at the time.
When things appeared to be getting shut down at the Base beneath Cheryl's Mansion due to Senate Interferance, Jelly decided to literally jump ship on to the Aquarius where he hopes to continue tinkering and get a good close up look at some of the tech onboard. |
