Character back story (DIX)



 This is a backstory on my character DIX (Named from roman numerals) Untit 509.

The Past
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
On the planet of Iron Star III, the only iron star planet left that hasn’t been destroyed by the ‘Great War’ which has been raging for the last 3 centuries, its inhabitants known only as the Droid race.
A peaceful race of robotic humanoids, The Droids are a race of metallic metal  creatures who dwelt below-ground for thousands of years until the mysterious morbots forced them out of their underground home  years ago. Since then, they have adapted to surface life and quickly established themselves as the most powerful race, until…
An exceptional droid scientist, Dr Volex wanted to evolve the droid race far beyond its capabilities presently, after years of work and research his goal seemed within his grasp. To the dismay of the entire race, Dr Volex accidently created an evil and very powerful robot, this robot towered above every other bot, he was  highly advanced, and he had Templatic metal armour (Templatic metal is the hardest on Iron Star II). The robot later named itself General Alloy, the general went on a rampage and destroyed the lab he was created in, and Dr Volex’s body was never found.
After creating an army to do his will, General Alloy took over Iron Star I and after years of fighting the planet was later destroyed from a brutal battle in the planets core which ended in a large explosion. Iron Star II to the day is used to mine resources by the imprisoned droids which couldn’t fight, both sides decided it’d be best not to fight here, General alloy didn’t want this because his resources could be destroyed, and the rebels didn’t want it because the imprisoned droids could be harmed. The Rebels and General corrosives army are coming to Iron Star III.
Present Day
In the largest city of Iron Star III:  MechaChrome city was the only city left where Droids were free. The robot production line in the SteelCo robot factory in the centre of the city was working hard for the Generals demands of more soldier bots. The newest line of soldier bots, with their advanced technology were going to change the tides of the battle towards General alloys favour.
This is where Unit 509 (DIX) was first created.
The DIX units were in production, the first unit emerged from rising steam and noise, the chrome finish of the armour glistened in the flashing light that twirled overhead.  The alarm had been set off, and the sirens screamed. The huge metal door smashed down, sealing DIX alone. The production line had been shut off. The light sounding of beeping could be heard, it grew louder, and beeped faster. BOOOOOMMMMMPPPHHH! The ground shook. Smoke debris and flames swept everywhere, as the smoke settled, multiple silhouettes could be seen. Now the smoke had totally disappeared there were 4 huge robots.

These bots were droids, the rebel bots were coloured grey, and were heavily armoured from head to foot, much larger and chunkier looking than DIX, a smaller bot emerged from in-between the larger ones, in his metal hand he held a strange device with a purple crystal attached to it. The bot unscrewed the back panel from DIX revealing wiring and ports; he reached into the hole and unplugged a large red wire. He grabbed the wire from the device and plugged it into the empty port, the device crackled with energy, enveloping the device in purple light and static. Everything went dark.
DIX gained conscience the next day…
He sat up, looking into the wall his head turned to look at a sheet of blacked out glass. He heard a voice, a voice he recognised. It was the smaller bot from the previous night. The speaker had told him to be calm and that they were friends. The robot: Dr CILEX had been Dr Volex’s assistant. They said they helped DIX escape and they needed his help. DIX agreed, and became a Rebel bot; the only one of his type, the rebels blew up the factory, leaving the rest of his unit in smouldering pieces of wreckage, along with General Alloy’s re-enforcements.
When DIX returns to MechaChrome city, he is told that a chip exists in MechaChrome city that would allow the rebellion to shut down General Alloy permanently. DIX sneaks into MechaChrome city and steals the chip, then delivers it to the rebels. He then returns to the city, because he learned that Dr Volex is alive and being held prisoner in MechaChrome city. DIX finds Dr Volex and brings him back to Droid Town. Once there, Dr Volex calls for re-enforcements, revealing that he is in control of General Alloy and that he is the one seeking to enslave droid kind.  He Fights Dr Volex in an epic battle, however he manages to escape, and swears his revenge on DIX.
The Future
Things go back to normal, until the rebellion get news Dr Volex is building a doomsday device…
