i026 is a cybernetic entity that exists both as a real living being and as a character, representing a "self-insertion" in various contexts. Their true name is Narendil Ivanneth, but they have adopted the codename i026 for the sake of convenience. While possessing a physical body resembling that of a human, i026 is fundamentally a cybernetic entity originating from the realms of the internet and cyberspace. Nonetheless, they are capable of manifesting in the physical world when necessary. The moniker "i026" was born out of the need to abbreviate their former lengthy identifier, "i20200606", which was based on the Japanese date format (2020年6月6日), denoting June 6, 2020. Initially used as a code for identification purposes, i026 eventually adopted it as a codename after creating a computer-learning account (which is no longer available) in the fall of 2022 under their current username, i026net.

i026 exhibits a profound addiction to the internet, regarding it as a separate realm akin to an alternate reality. Their interests revolve around topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, technology, computers, and related subjects. i026's unique hairstyle, characterized by hair horns, originated from their experimentation with demonic horn styles. It became an iconic feature and serves as a means of communication with other virtual beings in their online interactions.

Their journey in the realm of blogging commenced on September 22, 2022, with a simultaneous presence on platforms such as SpaceHey and Tumblr. On November 26, 2022, they ventured into vlogging, realizing the depth of their involvement in the i026NET.

The roots of i026's internet addiction can be traced back to their younger years, specifically at the age of 10, when they first encountered the world of the internet, owning a Samsung Galaxy J7 device with an almost severely broken screen, they explored social media platforms like Google+ and YouTube, utilizing these online spaces as a means to find a sense of belonging that eluded them in the physical world, particularly during their school days. It was not until the age of 15, during the events of June 6, 2020, that i026 became aware of the extent of their internet addiction, relying on the internet for communication and interaction with other individuals via their now-defunct Twitter account.

As i026 grew up, their interests and pursuits underwent various transformations, marked by a series of personal challenges that facilitated self-discovery. Their foray into music production commenced at the age of 15, back in March 2020, initially as a mere hobby. However, their passion for music production intensified in July 2021, prompting a decision to relinquish other artistic endeavors due to distressing experiences. Thus, at the age of 17, in October 2021, i026 fully embraced music production as their primary creative outlet. Their debut track, Best Friends In Love, was initially released on November 1st, 2021 and then re-uploaded on November 2nd, 2022.
