Neon J. used to be someone who created small toy statues, and was noted for both his craftsmanship and resourcefulness. At some point, he enlisted in what he calls the "Border Wars," in which he served for many years. It is unknown whether or not he had been fully human at some point. Neon J. seemingly lost many people in the war, and when he came home he aimed to bring the people of Vinyl City a sense of safety and happiness. With this goal in mind, he created 1010, and eventually used their talents to be recruited into NSR.
