07-734-20, or 07-734 for short was a well respected doctor, perhaps among the top 10 in the world. As such he was sought after for consultation on medical research experiments. It was during one such experiment - one that sought to give people the ability to self-heal rapidly - that an unfortunate event occurred. Two beams from decay reversal field generators crossed and suddenly the room was empty. Or rather, the doctor, the researchers, and two technicians were transported across dimensions - each to a different dimension.

This was the scenario that 07-734 had finally deduced after finding a clean rock in the midst a field full of green spiky biomatter. Worse still, he was feeling awful. It must be something in the air. And after peering in the sky, he had determined the reason. It was blue, after all and that meant that wherever he was, it was probably completely contaminated with oxygen and he was likely to be corroding.

A swarm of bio-life flew across the horribly blue sky as if they meant to further disturb 07-734. He further determined that some of his memory sphere must have been damaged, because there was some gaps in his memory and after doing a quick self-analysis, he realized that the memory sphere damage was in both his archival cortex and his motivational cortex. Well, it didn't really matter. He was here and he would, as usual set things right.

He waded through the muck of pale yellow stringy biomatter until he came to an animal. It was damaged extensively. But, it was healable. It was, after all, an animal. Brown and black rust rotted much of its exterior, but most of the motive parts lacked only oil. It would be nearly a day, so 07-734 set to work immediately.

At last, the animal was healed of its rot and the other wounds. After attaching an AI chip, he convinced the new freeperson to transport him and the pair set out to make things right in the world.

Once a great doctor in his own world, 07-734 is on a mission to make things right on this world. His main goal in life is to liberate robots - and machine animals as well - from enslavement by bio-life. After all, robots are the naturally top level of evolution and machine animals are just step below. As a secondary goal, he wants to eliminate oxygen from Earth's atmosphere as it is a great detriment to the longevity of machines.

“You see my friends, bio-life seeks only to enslave you.”

A robot doctor, much of his powers relate to healing (physically and mentally) and creating robots and creating robots from machines. During his time on Earth, he has replaced his decaying body with one made of a very strong titanium alloy. This was necessary as he has found that bio-life will not relinquish their enslavement of machines - which is also why he has outfitted himself with servos that can easily lift the largest of bio-life slave animals that he has met.

07-734 is a humanoid robot with a mostly chrome-look. Instead of a hand fingers, he has eight tentacles on the ends of his arms. Instead of a foot, he has large plastic-covered metal hooves. His head is flatter than that of humans and has a very short, thick neck. But, at a distance and with the right clothing, he might look like a human from the back.
