I am an ARROW. An Application Retreival/Rehearsal Operation Worker, modified version.

My brother is one year older than I. He would like me to record data for him, because he is unable to do so himself.

He was the original, or basic ARROW. We are, genetically, very similar. The differences between our genetic codes comprise fewer than fourteen base pairs. We were, however, built differently; grown in different solutions with different nutrients and stimuli. As our creation method was new and imperfect, we both experience a variety of deficiencies and abnormalities, Barrow moreso than I.

At least, that's our theory. Our creators refuse to reveal accurate data on the subject, so we've been forced to compile as much as we can through trial-and-error. Listed below are deficiencies we are certain of and have tested in a reasonably controlled environment.

Barrow:
Cannot process vertical lines
Highly dyslexic
Hearing range slightly smaller than normal
Constant, low-level pain
Sensitivity to chemicals in the enviroment; psuedo-allergic reactions
No sense of attraction
Prone to cardiac arrhythmia
Slightly rounded facial features

Myself, Marrow:
Hearing range slightly smaller than normal
Sensitivity to chemicals in the enviroment; psuedo-allergic reactions
No sense of attraction
Slightly rounded facial features
High level of anxiety
