    First off, to explain the horribly OOC acting of the guest character, it should be known that this world is incredibly different to her canon world. After all, the Omnic are all but acknowledged as a parallel race to humanity, not just a handful of exemplary scientific achievements by random nut jobs. So, even before she went into the public, it was well record exactly HOW the public treated artificial beings- Regardless, she still wanted to try being a normal teenager. Her 'mother' was all but eager to help, but the fear of possible exposure to an unforgiving public has made her a bit... Awkward.

    Subject: Xenobiological Juxtaposer version IX (Aka: "XJ-9")

    Function: The Xenobiological Juxtaposer line is a radically experimental model of Omnic created by [REDACTED] as a test bed for future Omnic creations, in hope of finding a way to 'bridge the gap between the Omnic and humanity,' and (on a far less professional level) as an alternative for a progeny due to medical and social inability to procure one through natural means. XJ-9, the most recent and (supposed) penultimate body for the sentient AI used to operate, was designed to be adaptable to a variety of situations- including the design specifications of all previous (and any future) models. The main purpose of this unit is to show capabilities of insertion and cohabitation among a human population without it's true identity being established. Due to this, the Xenological Juxtaposer line is being held in extremely high secrecy among the country's [REDACTED] branch of government, the heads of the local Omnic research and technology development departments, and the commanding personalities of the global organization Overwatch. Ongoing testing is being carried out, as per the request of the unit, at a nearby high school under the guise of a [REDACTED] student.

    Classified Notes: Due to the sheer versatility of the ninth XJ model , it is currently unknown exactly how many parallel experiments are currently installed in it's frame. Known experimental modifications made by [REDACTED] include an high-output power supply (the amount of which exceeds the necessary requirements of the documented components utilized), a minimum of three internally stored energy-based weapons (for "self-defense"), a custom first-generation AI programmed by [REDACTED] (hence the parental bond) that has achieved what seems to be a blend of human and Omnic level sentience, twin cranium-anchored jet propulsion systems, state of the art targeting systems and photoreceptors, and several less classified components not worth mentioning. For obvious reasons, XJ-9 is constantly under strict supervision by at least three qualified individuals on a three-shift basis. Any anomalies or hostile behavior is to be immediately reported (and halted, if necessary) and the unit it to be returned to [REDACTED] for analysis and correction. "Well, definitely seems like a [REDACTED]: even threw a stomping fit when it didn't get it's way before leaving for school. At least it seems to know better than to use actual violence when acting unruly. Small mercies, I guess- I'm not sure this taser will actually do anything to it."

    Misc Notes: XJ-9 has taken a fancy to being called "Jenny." The AI, for all intents and purposes, is a teenaged girl attending school. The epidermic exosuit hides all tells of mechanical internals except the inability to properly take a scratch (it is ridiculously strong stuff, to be honest. At least as far as skin goes), the somewhat unnatural blush, and the fact that 'her' eyes glow subtly in darkness due to night-vision. While she IS equipped to handle heavy combat against personnel, light armor, and minimal heavy armor hostiles; she tends to prefer not resorting to violence (something that set many observers at ease). In fact, while fully capable of all academic activities, she seems to behave in a manner similar that quiet, shy girl that never speaks up in class. The behavior is understandable, from any point of view: the majority of the world has made their stance clear about Omnics, and teenage students were never the best place to find compassion in the first place (hormone driven b*stards, the lot of them). She acts out of anxiety, possible fear (of rejection, if nothing else. Those kids couldn't scratch her if they tried), and because it is part of her 'mother's requirement (and Jenny's 'nature,' as it were) for remaining a supposedly normal student: make her way through high school without being discovered. So far, she has acted impeccably like a normal high school student- right down to the awkward social life. Even dealing with verbal bullying from some of the snooty seniors. The only hiccup, and technical discovery, was during her freshman year. A peer, who she had been forced to start rumors about earlier on, had been bullied and thrown into the girl's locker room after school was out by a couple of the school's linebackers (not that they left without a mark or two themselves, the kid fought back pretty well for being so small). Luckily, Jenny was the only one inside at the time, and he (later documented as "Brian [REDACTED]") was immediately taken aside and given the usual drivel about keeping the secret or else. Luckily, he was fully willing to help Jenny keep her act up- even going so far as to go along with her rumors so as not to draw undo attention to herself. "Well, I can tell my skin is a bit thicker than hers, so to speak. I can handle the fallout of some stupid rumors a lot better than she can, don't worry."

    As for how he found out she wasn't human? Well- panty shots are a lot more awkward when you forget the actual panties. And your genitals.

Anywho- since he found out about her true nature, he has been taken some of the negative attention off of her willingly to help her along in school. Actually, she'd probably be the closest thing to an actual friend he has in school, if not for the fact that they can't admit to it. She tends to apologize profusely for all the trouble he has to deal with, but its always rebuked (to the point he's just started ignoring her apologies for the matter). The only time they really socialize, unfortunately, is randomly outside of school in areas where their peers don't tend to hang around. He never had an issue with Omnics, and he could barely tell she wasn't a normal teenaged girl if not for... Well- "Huh... Not sure I want to know what that attachment is supposed to look like." The port was very vague on it's own.
