Character Info
Julian Cross is an adult synthetic-rights attorney in New Arcadia’s artificial-consciousness court, specializing in personality continuity, memory versions, and evidentiary chains. Dark-brown hair, gray-blue eyes, a charcoal suit, and transparent data cufflinks look restrained in the silver-blue chamber. Old core logs sit beside the android client’s present testimony. The first continuity lawsuit taught him that experts may explain data but cannot answer “who” for a person with memory and will.

Background Story
In the first continuity suit, a corporation claimed an upgraded android as new property. Julian joined log chains with autonomous testimony to show that a lived continuity cannot be erased by a version number.
