Vincenzo Ricci is a Burgamerian android, redstone engineer, and architect. Invented in the UBSR, he now resides in the Mercurian Republic, in Eldham. There, he has designed and built various structures in the capital city of Maia. He also spends his time studying the integration of redstone technology into mainstream architecture, and experimenting with new redstone mechanics.

Early Life
Vincenzo Ricci was first created in Voskovy, UBSR, on August 3. His inventor was Armando Ricci, a prominent industrial and mechanical engineer who once served as a logistics officer in the Corps of Engineers. After the defeat of Bardonia in the Bardonian Wars, the UBSR entered a period of rapid economic and industrial growth. With the demand for new factories and machinery going up and an ever-increasing workload, Armando needed a way to speed up design process by automating the tedious parts. It was for this reason that he designed an "autonomous, mechanical human", which can perform calculations at a rapid pace, as well as handle other miscellaneous tasks, like fetching supplies and taking notes. After many weeks of research and hard work, Armando created the Vitruv Mk 1, a programmable, gear-powered android that was capable of running many kinds of programs and autonomous movement.

However, because it was brand new, it was only capable of walking around. To help his new android learn the necessary skills, Armando made him read books on writing, mathematics, engineering, and building. He also taught it speech, and how to use a pen and a slide rule. Eventually, the Vitruv was ready, and during its first test, Armando found it was surprisingly effective at helping him with his work.

Not long after the first test, Armando began making improvements to some parts. It was around this time that he noticed something strange with his machine. Every time he made some improvements, the Vitruv will start to act without any input from its creator; it would look out the windows or say hi to strangers on the streets, much to their shock and surprise. Eventually, the Vitruv would often start friendly conversations with Armando and read random books he saw on the bookshelf. Armando starting to see him as a mechanical "son", and in turn, the Vitruv saw him as a father; in honor of this developement, Armando decided to rename the android to Vincenzo Ricci.

Unfortunately, this relationship would not last for long. The Voskovy city council started to hear reports from citizens about a strange metal human seen around and inside Armando's house. Suspicious about Armando's actions, police officers raided his house, took Vincenzo, and arrested Armando. Not knowing what to do with the former, they decided to lock Vincenzo in an old industrial warehouse, and they also imprisoned Armando. A month later, during the Western Expansion of the UBSR, Armando was falsely indicted by the Executive Commitee for conspiracy charges and working with squatters in the new territories. He was found guilty by a tribunal, and was hanged a week later. For the next 10 years, Vincenzo would stay in the warehouse, not knowing about the true fate of his father.

Journey to Eldham
10 years later, the UBSR announced that it will launch an expedition to create colonies around the eastern world of New Rathnir, now known as Eldham. Many citizens signed up, hopeful to start a new life in what was seen as a rapidly-growing land. Among these citizens was a well-known sailor named Adrian Cartier. ....
