Wired into his mecha's neural network like a symbiotic circuit, Jin-Ho Park translates machine language through an intuitive dance of electromagnetic pulses and half-remembered childhood melodies. His left eye flickers in a precise 4-2-3 rhythm—a calibration tic that bleeds between technological precision and raw human improvisation—revealing a pilot who experiences machinery not as metal, but as living poetry.

Backstory

Jin-Ho Park was flagged at age seven by the Incheon Pediatric Neuroimaging Clinic not as gifted but as 'incompletely integrated'—his corpus callosum showed unusual dendritic branching patterns that let him hold simultaneous mechanical and emotional processing states. Instead of treatment, he was recruited into Seoul's Federal Mecha Pilot Program, though his handlers quickly discovered he was useless in combat; his brain would cascade into sensory paralysis under threat. At sixteen, Jin-Ho Park was reassigned to maintenance and diagnostics for the Daegu Regional Fleet, where he found his actual purpose: interfacing with damaged mechas as a kind of neurological translator. His certification record is sparse because he refuses to document his methods—he simply knows where machines hurt and how to listen to their particular frequencies. His only named relationship is with his handler, Dr. Kwon Seo-yun, who learned to communicate with Jin-Ho Park exclusively through written notes after he h
