## Biography

### Birth

Sparks was made the **17th September, 2002** as part of project hosted by the company VolksRobotik to innovate on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. 199 other robots like him were made, but he's the **only documented one to be still active** (and doin' great!). Despite the company being German, **Sparks was made on a Spanish Factory**, yet since he lacks of proper Passport and ID, he considers himself as **nationless**.

When he was first introduced, he was **much different** from what he is today. For example, he **lacked** of the **LED Screen** of his face, **proper facial expression** and had **problems on joints** & connections between limbs. Somehow, at the age of 5, Sparks seemed to **snap into conscience.** The maintenance team described this as *``if he suddenly became sentient´´.* After some more time, and more tests, **he was considered 'alive'** by VolksRobotik, and was allowed to walk out of the factory for the first time in years. Something important to note aswell, is that oddly enough, **he stopped needing batteries to work** since then. He can perfectly function without any sort of energy.

### Into the Wild

Since his release in 2008, Sparks started to **wander around** the cities of Vigo, same place where he was made. With nothing better to do, he just explored and **tried to communicate**, being unable because of social reject. This was all the same until he and Wolfgang stumbled on 2011. The young, 11 year old Wolfgang started to **speak to him**, and as Wolfgang met him better, he started to think that maybe Sparks wasnt *just* a robot. Their friendship continued to grow up to this day, even with Sparks **confessing love** to Wolfgang in 2023. This was shocking to Wolfgang and his environment, since they all thought a robot like Sparks **couldn't feel at all**. But with this point being proven wrong, they both started dating and nowadays they're are happy together.

## Nowadays

As said before, Sparks is **Wolfgang's current romantic partner**.

Sparks also got a **degree on Robotics and Science**, making him the **first** ever robot to study Robotics. He performed well due to the fact that his components are adapted to **learn absolutely anything**. He has an allegedly good charge and works every day. Although this is not known exactly, it can be said that he has a pretty good salary, even if he **doesn't need it** to live.

## Fun Facts!

* Sparks identifies himself as **nationless**. Tho, this doesn't mean he's anarchist.
* His **very first language** to learn was Esperanto.
* To learn a language, he **just needs to listen to some words**. If he knows Japanese, it's because Sakura always insulted him in this language.
* As mentioned, Sakura doesn't like him. This is very likely from jealousy, considering the fact that **Sakura likes Wolfgang**.
* There have been some attempts by the local governors to **nationalize** him. Not only these **got rejected**, but he didn't want to have citizenship.
