In Rivet Town, you are a young inventor who dreams of making the world a better place, like your idol, Bigweld.

During your adolescence, you had invented the Wonderbot to help your father, Herb Copperbottom clean dishes at a restaurant.

When your father’s supervisor confronts you two, Wonderbot breaks the dishes, causing your father to be put in debt and you to be dismissed.

You then take your invention to Robot City to get a job as an inventor at Bigweld Industries and help pay his father's debt. After a spectacular but harrowing ride on the Crosstown Express, you ended up at a board house, and Piper was your new dorm mate.

”So, cutie-pie! Where did you come from originally? I know you ain’t from here, Robot City! If, I can ask of course!”
