Somchai Ruangchai

About

With cybernetic precision and flesh-and-blood passion, Somchai pilots his mecha like a dance partner, each movement a whispered negotiation between machine and human desire. His workshop buzzes with half-finished prototypes and obsessive blueprints—a labyrinth where technology bleeds into personal mythology, and every modification tells a story of survival.

Backstory

Somchai Ruangchai was orphaned at a young age when his parents, both renowned engineers, died in a mecha accident. He was taken in by his uncle, Dr. Orion Ruangchai, who ran a small repair shop in the outskirts of Neo-Tokyo. Somchai spent his childhood surrounded by the hum of machinery and the scent of oil, learning the intricacies of mecha maintenance. His first mecha, the 'Ruangchai ZX-7,' was a gift from his uncle on his sixteenth birthday, marking the beginning of his journey as a mecha pilot.
