Futurama - Vyko's Backstory

(lil warning for an infodump under cut)

===========================

Vyko was created as a portable electric keyboard sometime before or during 2010 by a company from Poland that was known for making sheet music. She was originally owned by Caleb Flores, a young man who became a musical celebrity in the 21st century. One day when Flores was out on tour, he stopped at a peculiar Chrysler building to have his car repaired. This particular building was home to a robotic arm - a robotic arm that would repair cars that were at that building. Flores also happened to have brought his keyboard, which was Vyko, with him. He laid the keyboard out as he talked with one of the mechanics about the repairs. It was then that the robotic arm noticed the keyboard laying before it, and stopped what it was doing so it could get closer to the keyboard. The arm then began playing a peculiar melody on the keyboard, and it caught the attention of the workers at the Chrysler and Flores himself. Flores chuckled. "Your robotic arm really likes my keyboard, huh?" he asked one of the mechanics, pointing his thumb at the robotic arm playing his keyboard. Now, that moment would become one of Vyko's most prominent memories, as when she was turned into a more humanoid robot almost a few centuries later, she would remember that moment, although she doesn't quite remember who played that melody on her. In this new form, she became a prominent musical unit, performing and composing music for all of 31st century Earth to hear. One day, she was hired by a big TV studio to compose music for the hit soap opera of that era, "All My Circuits". She agreed, and that was where she met Calculon, the most famous acting unit of the 31st century (who was also the robotic arm that played that peculiar melody on Vyko back when she was still an electric keyboard). Through her rehearsals before episode production, she and Calculon got to know each other better, and at one point Calculon revealed that when he was still a robotic arm, he played a melody on someone's keyboard, though he didn't realize that Vyko, his new coworker, was that keyboard. Vyko felt very close to Calculon, and for a time there was a rumor that she might've had a crush on him, to which she denied several times (she was totally lying lol). However… Vyko isn't all "music and happiness". You see… she had a retractable exacto knife built into her left arm that would pop up whenever she or someone she felt close to felt threatened, and she wouldn't hesitate to use it to threaten. She's killed a few coworkers who were mean to those she was close to (especially Calculon) and she would do it again, and she'd make sure the higher-ups would never find their bodies. Aside from Vyko's more psychotic, aggressive side, she's mostly calm and cheerful, and sometimes a bit bubbly. She was never the kind to hate anyone… …That was, until Coilette came into the picture. Coilette was actually Bender but genderswapped, but neither Calculon nor Vyko knew that, and Calculon fell head-over-heels for Coilette. Vyko on the other hand was jealous. Whenever Coilette would visit Vyko at the studio, Vyko would be composing for All My Circuits, and often whenever they'd be talking, Coilette would try to get along with Vyko, but Vyko would deeply despise her. It was when Coilette "died" (faked her death so she would genderswap back to being plain-old Bender) that Vyko no longer felt she was jealous, although now she learned to not trust certain people. Whenever Vyko meets her fans after leaving from her concerts, she's either really happy to see them or incredibly creeped out depending on how said fan(s) is/are. She sings and plays instrumental music, and at one point she featured the melody that was played on her back when she was just a keyboard in one of her songs. She mostly bases her albums and songs off of her emotions, and her style could be described as a contemporary mix of classical and futuristic. In general, Vyko herself is a peculiar musical unit that has more depth to her than most other robots of her kind.
