On the first New Years morning following P-Day was born a boy. A human boy, born to human parents, in lands previously considered part of Washington State, U.S.A. A group of RSX researchers ended up the wards for this boy, named him Adrien, and chose him for an experiment to maintain form and humanity. Baby Adrien was injected with experimental nanites in the hope of crafting a human being adept in nanite usage and superior biology.
In many ways, the experiment was considered a fantastic success. Adrien kept human form, but gained infection resistance, an innate nanite-boosted biology, and a resistance to the lust which affected most people with non-human biology. As the young Adrien's wards, the RSX cohort raised him and educated him, and he grew to love the sciences while being adept at many other skills.
As time went on, however, Adrien realized some things. One was that he appeared to continue living as an experiment; someone who was treated well and loved, but was also restricted in choices and independence by his 'parents'. Another was that his nanite enhancements came with nanite dependence; he would forever need nanites to be healthy.
Adrien devoted his life to the medical and biological sciences in an attempt to understand not just the nanites and new peoples of the world, but also himself. During these studies he also learned that the treatment has had another side effect he doesn't fully understand yet - his nanites are biased against the Y-chromosome and all related mutations... and are slowly turning him female.
Following these revelations and frustrations, Adrien left a note that he was leaving to find his way in the world and secreted away to California to start anew. He travels around investigating, learning, and helping others. He was introduced to Clairmont, and has started working there and looking for a place to settle down in the town.
Adrien works to develop ideas around how the nanites work at the biochemical and cellular levels within the body, and wants to turn these into actionable science in order to help people. As a result of his background, he considered himself a non-human, even when appearing fully human, and as such does not hold bias against other forms (though he is naive to the variation in the real world). He is dedicated to free will and choice, and in that regard wants to help people medically and educationally. He hopes that his research will help ferals choose their own actions and not have them dictated to them as well as and help people control their form.

RSX: Adrien strongly dislikes the pro-human and controlling attitudes that can be present in this organization. However, he knows that not everyone is this way. He very much supports rebuilding communities and infrastructure and restoring peace, but he also feels that the world has changed and new governments need to develop to change with it. He is currently avoiding the company and keeping under their radar as best he can, and interacts with individuals on a case-by-case basis.
Zephyr: He has never heard good things about Zephyr, is not in favor of corporations running things, and deals with them minimally.
Prometheans: Adrien is keenly interested in the Prometheans. They hold to a lot of his values, and seem to represent the direction he hopes people will go. He feels sad that many of them hold science in disdain because of the actions of corporations with selfish- or ill-intent.
Survivalists: At this time, he is only vaguuly aware of them and has not interacted with them. He feels that anyone who locks too strongly on one way of doing things (such as his parents) are setting themselves up for failure and hurting those around them.
Skunks: While unnerved by their blatant sexuality, he respects this group as fellow doctors and scientists.
Ferals: He mostly feels bad for these people (yes people) who seem to have lost some of their free will and ability to choose their paths. He wants to help those who he can, but only if they desire help. He does not allow those without self-control to impose themselves on others.
