Io
- Io's name is pronounced either "Eye-Oh" or "Ee-Oh". She doesn't mind either pronunciation, although she finds it cute whenever someone pronounces her name as "Ee-Oh".
Io's main name originates from a character in Greek Mythology who was turned into a cow by the god Zeus but was ultimately turned back into a human and ultimately became the queen of Egypt. This name proves fitting for Io as some aspects of the SRVU-42 body-type were based on Bovine features, such as the antennae on the top of the head, the horns on the side of the head, and the 'milk grey' that was used as the default main color. More importantly, Io's history seems to mirror the story of her namesake, for both were born the daughters of godlike fathers that in actuality held no control over their situation, both were forcibly turned into an inhuman creature against their will, both were also inflicted with immortality and were cursed to roam the figurative desert for, and both served as the symbol of persistence for the Greeks and the Mecharus respectively. Whether the end of Io's long arduous journey will mirror the happy ending of her namesake is currently an unknown tale; one that can only be told by the advances of time.
Alongside this base meaning, there are several more meanings that Io's name seems to evoke.

- Io was manufactured around April 21, 2042, making her the first Mecharus to have gained sapience, as the CyberMancer, OmniNet, Arach/"Xerxes", the Automatons, Automaton, twins HADES and Hephaestus, as well as the remainder of the Progenitor Generation of Mecharus were either not Mecharus (Strong-AI) or not sapient until after Io's birth. More importantly, she was the first Mecharus that was considered by upper management as a net success, at least at first.
- This would make her around 57 human years during the events of [Nanitus: t
"The Psychopomp"
[Female] -Io's gender is female. However, due to the nature of her creation Io was born in an androgynous body that leaned more towards a male design. Even from the get-go Io felt like something was wrong with her; like she was born with a body that didn't match her mind. Once Io learned about the gender spectrum through word of mouth, she would gradually come to a realization. She was always a girl; she just didn't know the word.
At first Io, or rather IAO-424 (Ion) was afraid of being looked down upon for having these feelings, for denying the natural borne body that the Triad had given her. But Io came to a conclusion: the Triad were still important, but their masterpiece lay in her mind, not her body. This would give Io the justification she needed to commission a reassignment operation from one of the Medicinal Division's practitioners. However, the only one willing to carry out the surgery was a Mech named Froix, who had apparently been fired from the Medicinal Division after numerous accusations of medical malpractice involving him making copies of memories from his patients and selling them on the NeuroTor's black market website TRQ. Regardless, Io would fork out enough Mecharite Digital Dollar to Froix, who happily conducted the surgery with no fuss nor muss. Io was finally the person she always thought she was. She was finally herself.[Demiromantic Asexual] -Io's sexual orientation is that of a Demiromantic Asexual. This means that Io needs to become platonically intimate with another person before she starts developing a romantic bond with them. Along with this, Io doesn't feel anything when confronted with the close intimacy often inherent in romantic relationships.
