Description The associated Character for My Arm Cannon Technical Diagram; Cyborg NaN (Not a Number) AKA Nathaniel Adams Norton, Inspired by the Magical Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Numbers.
Full disclosure, this was based Heavily on Various Concept art for Megaman Legends/Rockman Dash 3.
I then cut-and-pasted, recoloured and tweaked it to Match more with the Numbers colour scheme, including an attempt at the distinctive Bodysuit. The shorts got added later because I didn't like how the Bodysuit left that area and felt the character would similarly feel 'exposed'; also, Pockets are always appreciated.
Altering the Arms over the original Concept inspired me to attempt the Arm cannon diagram, wherein I built the internals to fit the external shape and solve the Hammerspace-hand issue.
Background wise, he is the predecessor of the Numbers, gaining abilities not through genetically altered acceptance of implants, but rather, brute force prosthetisation that Jail could study to identify the breakdown areas and discover the necessary Genetic modifications need to create the numbers. Jail constructed him from a braindead Cadaver acquired off the Black market as a disposable research asset.
 Installing a Rudimentary Computer Device to replace lost Brain matter (approx 2-4/5 of original Brain tissue) Allowed Jail to Puppet the Body using outside Commands enough to run the subject through physical test series.
Never intended to survive the test process (it was a test-to-destruction process), He was lost when the Same Black Marketeers who provided the Corpse came after Jail for Payment, sending underworld thugs to Raid Jail's off the books Lab; Jail naturally had it rigged to self Destruct (because that's how Mad scientists roll) and recovered his critical data and equipment via contingent teleports, but NaN, being non-essential, was left behind and lost in the detonation.

 Following being Blown up and buried, however, the same Micro-scale reconstructive tools Jail had used to operate on his structure to install and monitor the Prosthetics served to slowly, painstakingly rebuild him far beyond the original bounds of the experiment - including reconstructing lost brain matter and Functions.
