Ojio's brothers after he yanks them out of their awful nursing home in Damijana, buys them haircuts and fresh fits of their choosing. :)

Special thanks to Raccoon for helping me come up with a new hairstyle for Sanjio!

After Ojio earns big $$$ from his ChroMight profits, he starts a project to help people escape from Damijana. This includes rescuing Damijana prisoners and slaves too. Of course he prioritizes his family first, so Tarajeen and his brothers are among the first waves of folks he yanks out of there.

30 years of enslavement has given Ojio a lot of time to think, and he has come to regret the way he treated his brothers in the past. While he was lying in his cell, robbed of his freedom, he began to empathize with the way Sanjio and Thio must feel imprisoned not only in their own bodies, but in the nursing home he forced them into.

Now that Ojio has the means to help them, he brings them to his property in Zareen Capital and offers to cover all their living expenses, buying them fancy clothes, vacations, and anything they desire to make up for the way he treated them. He even offers Sanjio a Mechaskema so that he can finally have a mobile body.

To his surprise, Sanjio refuses it, explaining that his disability is also his superpower. If he weren't bound to a chair his whole life, he never would have been forced to expand his mind and become the super-genius he is today. He fears that becoming mobile would distract him from his mental pursuits, even telling Ojio, "Your little robot suit would only hold me back from my full potential."

Ojio feels rather insulted and just can't understand his point of view, and the two butt heads over this. Sanjio is still angry with him for shoving him in that horrible nursing home for so long. The brothers continue to have a strained relationship, but Ojio still feels guilty for what he did to them, so he continues to shuffle money at them to make sure they have the best quality of life possible.

But Sanjio does not want a free ride, and he promises Ojio that he will pay him back someday. He does not see this money as a gift, but a loan, and invests it wisely. Ojio is impressed when Sanjio manages to multiply his fortune quickly, and not only pay him back, but start his own charity to help disabled people. Sanjio contributes a lot to the world of academia, eventually getting hired by the World Athenaeum's prestigious think tank. He becomes a world-famous philosopher and philanthropist, meanwhile Ojio's reputation just gets worse and worse as he makes bad business decisions, crashes out repeatedly, gets addicted to drugs, etc.

Ojio becomes an insane coked-out techbro who is always in the news for embarrassing reasons, while Sanjio earns an honorable living contributing to the world of science. Sanjio also lands himself a smokin' hot doctor wife and they have several children together, living happily in a big house with Thio, some hired servants and caregivers.

Sanjio's amazing success makes Ojio terribly jealous and insecure, and he crashes out even more over it. They are both smart men, but they contrast each other in the ways they see the world and how they react to it. Ojio is always asking "how", while Sanjio asks "why". Ojio has more technical knowledge while Sanjio has more philosophical knowledge. Occasionally they join forces, begrudgingly putting aside their differences to accomplish something important, but otherwise their relationship remains pretty strained.
