my ideas

an alien whose body is comprised of lightning and comes from a planet of similar beings is sent to earth with his brother as ambassadors and they take on physical forms which they are bonded to and they are taken to area 51 where scientists experiment on them to try and understand them because the world is now run by war-like robotic dictatorship and they experiment on his brother first and end up making him go sociopathic and after learning from that experiment they succeed in making them stronger in some way but the main alien only suffers mild intelligence loss and not total insanity. (thus making him "average" minded) they then wipe his mind and send him off to work in a fast food restaurant with a disheveled robot general from the losing side of a robot war that took place a hundred years ago.
