Cassie was originally a Error: value at cassie.iterations[0] is null, a robot built to Error (2): value at cassie.iterations[0] is null. Like many early openAware robots, though, he 'woke up', and left to live a life of his own.
After some time, they found themself needing to replace parts of their body that wore out or otherwise became damaged. But while some components from himself were off the shelf, most of them were proprietary and not available for purchase. So, he started learning to jury-rig parts from other robots and tech in general onto his chassis.
Not only did he find himself pretty good at it, he liked it. His body - which he'd been fine with, but never particularly impressed by - went from a lump of cold technology to a canvas he could paint on. Body modding became his passion, leading him to learn more about robotics and engineering to facilitate wilder, more outlandish mods. The most outrageous being his modular synthesizer - a compact device built into his body, used to generate his voice, with a mess of patch cables controlling it making up his 'hair'.
But even more than that - he wasn't alone. Plenty of robots out there needed fixing, or parts that weren't available. His skills, Cassie realized, had potential beyond the fun modding he was doing himself. He met another robot with similar goals - MIKO - and the two of them started a repair shop for robots, but also any tech, generally. MIKO handled the management of the space and resources, while Cassie did more of the actual repair work.
