Spark

Spark, the electric mouse.

## **General information**

### **Character Design**

Spark is, for the most part, a typical pikachu. She was born as a slightly lighter color of the race, her fur being a cream/light yellow. Her cheeks are the typical shade of red, with brown eyes, and brown stripes. Like other females of her kind, Spark's tail is cleft, resembling a heart shape.

### **Personality**

Spark is a curious adventurer, always seeking to learn more about the world, willing to poke her head in places she likely shouldn't. However, she's *typically seen*as somewhat calm, and even polite. However, looks can be deceiving, as she certainly has a somewhat split personality.

Spark likes to explore the world around her, and always takes both, mental and physical notes of her surroundings. She's both, willing to talk for hours on end about something, and listen to someone speak for a long time. She finds passion in learning, always willing to try something new. However, this can be both, a positive and negative attribute for Spark. She can often tend to put exploration in front of safety, going into clearly risky situations on purpose. Her mentality is essentially, *"What's an adventure without at least some form of risk or danger? Otherwise, it sounds rather boring and uneventful in my eyes~"*

### **Attributes & Skills**

**Exploring + Investigating**

Spark, having been a member of the expedition society for several years, is a highly skilled explorer. She has a very photographic memory, and is able to recall locations she's been, even trails that may not differ much from others in the area. As a side effect of being skilled at exploring, she's also, in turn, excellent at investigating. She can easily point out oddities in a scene with one eye closed, and isn't afraid to talk to passerby. However, her best trait by far is being able to explore and find new places, or learn more about pre-existing places.

**Crafting/Engineering**

A small side-hobby of Spark's, she occasionally makes small contraptions or machines. She's certainly not an expert on it, and can't quite make anything overly advanced, however, she's still capable of making small things. Her most notable project, is a looplet she modified to absorb the essence of one's soul, forming artifical emeras, which she gave to Sani before he left.

## **Backstory**

Compared to, say, Sani, Spark has a fairly simple backstory. She had never left her planet until joining MROU, and still hasn't seen quite a bit of her own world, letalone the other places she's been to, such as Neo-Earth or Gensokyo.

#### **Pre-PMD:RoN Arc**

Spark was born in Post Town, as a pichu, a lone pokemon without any certain parents. She does have parents, however, Spark nor any of the other townspeople have ever actually met them. Either way, the egg was left there, and Spark was left to be raised by the townspeople. She became, rather than simply one or two pokemon's child, essentially the child of the whole town, learning from the various shopkeepers and residents about different skills. The one she had the most admiration for was by far **Vaniss,**a luxray, whom was also the mother of **Flash.** Vaniss was a nurse and partial scientist, who also explored quite often. They told Spark about science and the mystery dungeons that their world holds, which intrigued her quite a lot. Spark became obsessed with learning more, and started reading several books, but to no avail. She decided she'd have to take manners into her own hands, and started learning from Vaniss how to properly explore. The two trained for a long time, learning all the essentials of exploring. Spark, however, was too confident in her skills (still a pichu at the time) and attempted to enter a mystery dungeon, **Frost Forest.** She simply wasn't strong enough, and got chased by a beast that wasn't of their world. As she fell, and wasn't able to run anymore, Sani showed up at just the right time and helped her up, briefly giving her his name before making a run for it. When Spark returned, the pichu was expecting to get yelled at by Vaniss, but she simply laughed and told Spark that it was perfectly alright. Spark didn't understand at first, but now she does, and holds Vaniss' words close, making them one of her life mottos, even.

After this, Spark and Sani both became very close friends. Spark shared her knowledge with Sani, and told him everything that was on her mind. The two started living with one another, and eventually became known as an unbreakable duo in the years to come. They grew up for several years, Spark becoming a pikachu in an incident in which she saved Sani's life. However, something was amiss in the seemingly perfect world for the two. There were strange disappearances taking place slowly, day by day. The two promised the people of Post Town that they would find an answer to what's causing them.  Besides this, a young shinx, by the name of **Flash** looked up to Sani and Spark, wanting to go on adventures with them, partially gaining his mother's passion for exploring. One day, the two agreed to do so, and let Flash go with them to Frost Forest. However, they disappeared suddenly, and the duo came back without a shinx by their side. The townspeople were outraged. They thought it was all a big plan, and Sani was murdering innocent pokemon. Spark kept her calm, and tried to explain that it simply wasn't true, but to no avail. It ended with Sani being forced to leave, and Spark giving him her unfinished but greatest creation, her unity looplet.

After Sani left, Spark became mostly independent for a while, and kept her promise that she made with Sani. She was accepted into the expedition society as an environmental scientist and explorer, which she took advantage of. Spark used the equipment that they had to do immense research on the disappearances. After 3 years of research, she found the answer. Negate realms.

### **PMD: Realms of Negation Arc**

Spark was writing down her final notes, when suddenly, the expedition society base was attacked by three mythical pokemon. She grabbed her bag (of which Sani gave her long ago), and fastened it tight, before running away straight into Frost Forest. She made her way into the blizzard, finally ready to do what was right and keep her and Sani's promise. However, upon making it to the core and entering the negate dungeon of shiverburn woods, she was hit by a violent amount of force, rendering her unconscious and "fainted" in the snow for nearly 2 months.

When MROU made their way to the pokemon world *(PMD:RoN Arc),*they encountered Spark in the snow, in a critical state, nearly dead even. The only thing keeping her alive was her heal scarf she was wearing at the time. The group took her back to Sunsia Village, then let her recover. When she did, Spark met the group, and told them everything. She asked for their help, and they agreed. Together, they went to the negate realms, and destroyed the cores, saving the world, or so it seems. When they defeated the corrupted lugia, they were all sent back to Neo-Earth, Spark included. Spark now stays primarily in Gensokyo, however, everyone has access to the pokemon world via portal now, with the catch of them becoming a pokemon when visiting.

## Possessions

**Poke+ Bag**

Spark goes nowhere without her bag. While seemingly very basic, it has several organized pockets for storing different types of items, and can hold quite a bit. Spark wears it around her bag, similarly to a backpack. It was something that Sani bought for him and her with his (P) back when the two were still an expedition duo of sorts.

**Devices/Gadgets**

Spark keeps several strange gadgets and contraptions in her bag, most of which are useless outside of her world. Some of these include a GPS-like device, listing out the maps of floors of mystery dungeons, communication devices (small speakers in which two-way voice travel is possible by pressing a button), and more. She rarely has any use for them outside of her own world.

**Research Materials**

Spark has dozens of notebooks with her, full to the brim of adventure logs, research, and more. They're hard to read due to the sheer detail in them, but they provide some insight to the world she came from. Besides this, she keeps the essential on-the-fly lab equipment in her back as well, along with a pair of reading/writing glasses and lab goggles to keep in handy.

## Relationships

**Sani**(Best Friend)

Spark's closest friend. She never forgot him after he left, using the pain of loss to fuel her fire for finding out more about the world they live in, opening her eyes. Unlike Sani, she isn't overly emotional about their friendship, though. Despite this, she still cares just as much about him.

**Volt + Nexie**(Parents)

Spark never met her parents. They were running from the very monster that chased Spark when she was a pichu, and made a plan. Volt diverted the beast from any towns, while Nexie ran off with their child (Spark, who was in an egg) to quietly drop them off at a safer place, that place being Post Town. Nexie quickly left, while Volt continued his run. It's unknown if either are still alive.

**Twitch**(Adopted Child)

Twitch mistakenly looks up at Spark as his mother, despite the two technically not being related whatsoever. Despite this, however, Spark still decided to become his caretaker of sorts, and play along for the time being. She tries to teach him *very* similarly to how Vaniss taught her when she was young. (Note: It isn't necessarily that odd for pokemon to have children of different types. For example, a pikachu can have a pichu with nearly any fairy type.)

**Flash**(Apprentice)

Spark acted as Flash's apprentice of sorts for a while, teaching him how to properly explore dungeons alongside Sani. After the incident and his return, the two are distant, and haven't talked since.

**Vaniss**(Mentor)

Spark's mentor and teacher, who taught her quite a lot of what she knows today. Vaniss also happens to be Flash's now-gone mother. Spark and Vaniss were fairly close and had a passionate relationship of learning/teaching one another. Spark found Vaniss in a dungeon some time after the flash incident, and was unable to save her. Vaniss died in Spark's arms, and it's affected her deeply ever since.
