Chris Wellington

Chris Wellington, officially Wellington Robotics Android #9, is an android and one of the main characters in. As a creation of Andrew Wellington, he is unique due to the ability to feel emotions and is constantly hunted down by Alchemilia Corporation in Season One as a result. He is a member of the Port City Eight.

Appearance
Chris resembles a human boy in his mid-teens with peach-colored skin, messy brown hair, and blue eyes. He stands 5 feet, seven inches tall. Chris' usual outfit consists of a white shirt, a red and blue jacket, and some dark jeans.

He has an alternate attire consisting of a black t-shirt and sweatpants, provided to him by Samuel Brownlee.

While on the run in "The Less I Know the Better", Chris disguised himself with a white toupee, glasses, a blue t-shirt with a skull on it, and baggy yellow shorts. He keeps on the latter outfit for the remainder of Season Two.

Background
Chris was created on Centenus 20th, 5993 AT, and was the last of the original nine androids Andrew Wellington created after he stole blueprints from Gabriel Alchemilia and lost his job at Alchemilia Corporation.

After returning from a trip, Andrew discovered that the other androids had destroyed Chris and he decided to rebuild him using a beta blueprint his new company, Wellington Robotics, had drafted. Once completed, Chris was capable of something no other android was: He could feel emotions and think for himself. Andrew was very pleased at this, and it gave Chris a special place in his heart.

He would continue to build more androids off this blueprint and enjoyed newfound success. Due to such, Andrew hoped to reconcile with his ex-wife, who left him and took their children after Andrew lost his Alchem job. However, due to the start of the second Great War, Wellington Robotics suffered from an attack and the factory was destroyed. Losing almost all of his models, Andrew was forced to close his company.

After hearing about the brutal murder of his wife due to demons and his children rejecting, Andrew moved back to his old farm in Gladea and brought with him the only thing he had left - his original nine androids. Feeling renewed anger and hate at his former boss and believing him to be at fault for the mess that ruined his life, Andrew attempted to reprogram all of his androids to take down his former boss Gabriel.

This dream never came to life, due to how hostile his androids became after their reprogramming. After Charles tried to destroy Chris yet again, he was banished to the old Wellington Robotics factory and programmed to do maintenance work there. Upon learning that his daughter, Hailey, died in an angel attack, Andrew finally broke down. Repairing Chris and removing the hostile programming from him, he took him to a barn down the road and shut him off, covering Chris in hay.

Returning home, Andrew lit his farmhouse ablaze, destroying his remaining androids and killing himself. Chris remained in the barn for over three hundred years, until his system rebooted upon the presence of Atticus Anoethite, Melissa Devlin, and Savannah Whitesmith.

Abilities
Unlike Gabriel's androids, he has the ability to smell and also has a gun hand and steel sword, as well as enhanced intelligence and enhanced strength. Chris additionally has the ability to display human-like emotions if he wishes. While he was originally made with a plasma sword, Chris surrendered it to Nabi and her army when they were about to be imprisoned in Remnant Rock, though Tetsu Iwanaga provided him with a suitable replacement while at the Chang Monastery.

Trivia

 * Due to having emotions built into his programming, Chris can fear things such as fire and (until his waterproof upgrade) water.
 * However, he is unable to feel pain or love, as Andrew did not wish to include either of these due to Chris's origins as a battle android.
 * Chris has a tendency to go on short, verbose tangents on subjects, usually when he is not that familiar with the people he is talking with.
 * He is unable to understand slang and swears as they were not registered in his database.
 * Andrew nicknamed him Chris after his late father, Christopher Wellington.
 * With Steven dead and Melissa gone, Chris was the only non-human member of the Port City Eight for much of Season Two.
