Appearance
Previously part of the Jerry hivemind, his appearance matches theirs, tidy red hair and green-grey eyes. He is still as warm and caring, though his disconnection from the others has left him with an air of uncertainty, the lack of communal agreement to back what he says leaves him lacking in confidence. He continues to be kind, perhaps even a little over-protective since his return from Canada. He tries to endure friendly spaces, but struggles to hold faith in his independence and input without the others, however it is getting easier with time.

Backstory
Robin had managed to cross the border to Canada, trying to find somewhere safe to live for all of the other Jerrys. He hadn’t foreseen the connection to the others being lost as he crossed the border, and he feared the failure if he were to be caught and deactivated returning across the border. He opted to remain in Canada until the revolution was over, and try to reconnect afterwards.Unfortunately, the revolution did not mean that he was legally allowed to be in Canada, where Androids were still not allowed. He managed to survive a few months doing cash-in-hand jobs here and there, before the weather improved and someone jokingly removed his hat, revealing his LED that he’d never been able to bear to remove. He was reported and eventually detained for deportation.Fortunately, by that point, CyberLife Androids were somewhat recognised as American citizens, and whatever means Canada would previously have used had become a politically strenuous issue. Whilst he, and others also detained, were not deactivated, there was little in the way of supplies, and they were not greatly cared for. The deportation centres quickly became a matter of needing to protect oneself (and one’s vastly under-rationed Thirium supply) from each other and workers who enjoyed baiting fights between desperate androids.Robin was held longer than average, and routinely questioned, unconvinced by his insistence that he was the only one of the hivemind that had crossed the border, trying to gain information on the locations of non-existent others to detain and deport.Upon being removed back to Detroit he was informed he can never return to Canada, even if Androids are ever legally allowed to visit, and slapped with a criminal record for various violent involvements within the deportation process. He was also informed that if he rescinded his own identity to return to the hivemind, that his criminal record would be transferred and would not remain separate. In order not to tarnish the reputation of the rest of the Jerrys, he opted not to reconnect, as much as it pained him to be alone.It has taken him some time to adapt to being a single unit, separated from the hive, and he took on volunteer work at the AIVocate shelter, under the wing of James, and eventually became a paid co-manager. However, most of his help has come in the form of James' shy housemate, Ian, an AV500. They both seemed to find themselves and come into their own together, he fell in love with Ian, and they've recently begun exploring the idea of exploring a relationship together.
