Model Zero
The only thing he remembered was the word "Man" upon awakening. Referred by the scientists as 'Zero', the android was found in a test lab as accustomed when under maintenance. The android was equipped with a new weapon: The Saber, a sword which only responds to his code and capable of slicing through any die. It consists of a single mechanical handle which generates energy for its owner, forming a sheet of green translucent energy as it is pulled out from its sheath. A few surprise test-runs were applied, but Zero passed with flying colors.
Unhatched the Hushed Casket
The scientists in the Medical Bay of Alpha Prime bring in a chamber which had fallen from the sky, much like Man had not too long ago. Inside lie a being later known to be an android, but this 'android' was peculiar and different from the rest. Man accidentally released him from his eternal slumber and the creature crawled out of his coffin asking about the time and his father. Soon enough the scientists returned and began to examine him when the unidentified android went ballistic and started attacking everyone. It wasn't long before the day turned into a chase across the corridors of the institution as it tried to escape to the outside world. Man, of course, went in pursuit and engaged in a full-out battle, the hardest yet. In the end, the android broke through the metal walls and sky-rocket into the air and out of Model Zero's grasp. Man was too injured to continue and was stopped by Ivan, his master and lead scientist, who then promptly shut Model Zero down by the click of a button and began working on repairs and reprogramming the android so he'd forget about the events which had transcended;that day. Mission Failed.
Observing Snow and Frigid
Man learned of a phenomenon called "entertainment". He could not understand it clearly, but apparently, people enjoyed watching two individuals fighting. Ivan presented his creation to King Arctic and his Queen for the first time while witnessing the battle between Snow and Frigid. Ivan exited the room reluctantly upon the King's request. When asked for his name, Model Zero responded "Man". King Arctic did not like "Man" and suggested the name "Zero" instead. Man thought they were in trouble and would have interrupted the competition if not for the King's reassuring words that they had been fighting out of "sport". Man thought it was pointless because power-level indicated who the winner would be. In the end, Frigid won the match as Man predicted, but not for the same reasons. He was surprised by Snow's unexpected transformation, changing his perception of the battle. Yet, he lost due to discreet rules of the tournament. "If you go out of bounds, you're disqualified." Man learned that power-level was not always the deciding factor between a winner and a loser; that, although an opponent seems weak at first, they can still rise beyond their boundaries; that, sometimes, outside factors effect the outcome of battle -such as going out of bounds. King Arctic found Ivan's creation to his liking and decided to grant the scientist funding for further development. Their goal? Alpha Prime.
Chasing Time
After meeting King Arctic, Ivan tasked Man with a mission to gain information about a dangerous bio-android named IIshavoh that escaped their laboratory recently. Ivan gave Man explicit orders to not engage the bio-android no matter what. Lurking within the shadows, Man learned many things about IIshavoh but he also witnessed Queen Akassa and Celeh for the first time. He experienced a strange disturbance on his chest after watching the bio-android increase its power-level by assimilate another life-form. Unaware of his actions, Man crushed the metal bars beneath his hands while Celeh described android's as tools with no emotion. Man meets Lord Prometheus Zex and his brother Wrath for the first time as they enter the scene. They take IIshavoh under their custody. Man follows.
Wont you come in?
Man follows Prometheus Zex to his manor. He uses one of the bypassing servants to infiltrate the compound through the ventilation system. He detects violent activity and sudden vibrations from the inside. Two power-levels fluctuate; one belonging to IIshavoh and the other unknown. There was an explosion. IIshavoh's power-level disappeared all of a sudden. Man thought this was strange. When individuals die, their energy signature gradually fade; however, the bio-android's signature was wiped out of his radar without a trace and the antagonist's power-level increased. Man learned that the bio-android had somehow been bested by the mysterious voice of whom he was unfamiliar. Zex called him "Mr. Watson". Mr. Watson's mother was ill and so requested Zex's aid, in return, Mr. Watson was employed by Zex to do his bidding. Man inferred that the bio-android's demise was the closure of said contract. He learned that Lord Prometheus Zex intended to form some kind of group to investigate a potentially dangerous place, which would be spearheaded by Mr. Watson as his agent. Man retreats to chase after Mr. Watson's power-level in search for answers. As he does, the last words Zex uttered in secret to his brother rang in his mind: "Alpha Prime is just the beginning..."
Mouse Trap
After witnessing bio-android IIshavoh's disappearance, Man chased the power-level of the individual responsible. Man decided he must not provoke the man as he proved to be a capable fighter. Ivan had warned Man not to engage the bio-android because he was too dangerous, if Mr. Watson defeated him so quickly, angering the man would not bode well for Man. When Mr. Watson noticed his presence, Man revealed himself and told the truth. IIshavoh was a dangerous bio-android that escaped their facilities and he was tasked with capturing the individual. Man's honesty gained Mr. Watson's cooperation and the android learned that IIshavoh had, in fact, been put out of commission. What was strange is that Mr. Watson himself did not understand what occurred, and although he claimed to have hidden the bio-android's body in some bushes, Man had not found any trace of it promptly after their fight. IIshavoh's story was now complete and the identity of "Drandos" would probably never be revealed. However, Man had found interest in a new individual, Mr. Watson.
Observing the Dawning of the New Age
Man spectates the deciding battle between a blue-haired saiyan named Conri Lane and the icejin he watched fight alongside King Arctic earlier. The saiyan released an energy ball-like beacon into the sky which seemed to attract the android for reasons unknown. Man witnessed the first saiyan transformation as Conri Lane towered in his ape form; a similar visage intruded Man's mind and caused him to lose consciousness. When Man awoke, the battle had ended with both fighters unconscious. Man wondered what those images represented and why the ball triggered them.
A Champion is Crowned
Conri Lane is declared Champion of the Intergalactic Tournament. He announces his intent to form an organization of the strongest fighters in the universe.
Model Zero Meets Lord Zex
Ivan presented his creation to Lord Prometheus Zex, vouching for Man's exponential growth and the benefits he may provide the Lord. Claiming the android to heed his every command, Lord Zex decides to test Man on the spot and order him to dispose of his brother; a death sentence. Man informs the Lord that such a task was beyond his ability but he does not refuse. Man attacks Wrath as commanded. Lord Zex finds Man to his liking and decides to fund Ivan's project with the condition that Man is to give priority to all and any of Lord Zex's needs. Confirming their agreement, Man and Ivan leave and report their assessment of Lord Zex and Wrath to King Arctic. The scientists are excited. They obtained the support of both of the Collective's biggest individuals. They can't help but wonder... How far will Man go?
Fighting Against the Champion
Thank's to the Intergalactic Tournament, Alpha Prime was bustling with an unusual crowd. With so many fighters roaming the streets, Ivan took initiative of exploiting their talents to test Model Zero; of course, the ambitious scientist would not just settle for any. Conri Lane, the new Champion of the Intergalactic Tournament accepted his invitation and soon found himself at their doorstep. The saiyan requested that they fight without lights and increased gravity five times greater than what Man was used to. Man learned that there were other ways to detect an individual's presence. Although the saiyan could not sense or see him, he was still able to defend himself against the android by using his ears and vibrations in the air. Ivan decided to taunt the saiyan. Conri Lane had been holding back and he wished to aggravate him. Ivan succeeded. Conri Lane requested Man to standby while he prepared a never before seen technique. Man obliged and they entered conversation instead. Man learned a lot about himself from the saiyan, but one question remained unanswered. Conri Lane asked Man, "Do you consider yourself a warrior or a fighter?" Man answered, "A soldier." Finally, the battle ended with the saiyan's most powerful attack yet, which devastated the lab and nearly destroyed the android. Man never had the chance to ask... What's the difference between a warrior and a fighter?
Android=Gladiator?
Ivan approached Vespasian, Arena Master of Alpha Prime in an attempt to have him train Man and hasten his progress. However, the scientist had chosen a less than tactful method and gained the gladiator's scorn instead. Man faced against the hulking beast in defense of his master and was nearly destroyed by the encounter. Vespasian warned them to never show face again.
Unlimited Potential?

The Departure
Upon Prometheus Zex's command, six individuals assembled before him: Kurosanai Muzai, Conri Lane, William Watson, Banduk, Frigid, and Man. The group was to travel to the Vatican System in search of a lost crew Zex had lost contact with. Little did they know, the party was walking into the mouth of the beast.
