City Fera

**MC**, also nicknamed *Sparky*, is a Spark NPC within Feral. They were introduced to the game on January 12th, 2021, and are only found upon the creation of a new player account, in which they will guide the player through a basic tutorial to introduce them to the game.

## Description

MC has no in-game model, but rather only appears in the dialogue box. They appear as an all-black Kitsune with icy blue highlights. They first appeared in the social media post for the *#FeralCarpetCall* challenge on June 22nd, 2020.

Despite not appearing physically within the game, they were depicted as a customized avatar in a social media post to advertise the "Early Access 3" Season Pass. It's unknown whether they will make an appearance within the game itself.

Generally, they have a friendly disposition, with a tendency for jokes. They are excitable, and keen to help Sparks new to Planet Feral. They appear in a large number of social media posts, however it's unclear whether these posts are written from their perspective or not. Some flavour text on social media images may imply that, among other things; they have a tendency to panic when deadlines draw near, that they don't know how to dance, and that they enjoy a warm fire. Notably, on a post announcing Cindernoct, they appear with purple highlights instead of the usual blue. This is the first and only time they have been depicted with another colour scheme.

## Trivia

* MC was first seen as a recurring character featured on every Fer.al Direct, as well as appearing in multiple social media posts, but they were unnamed up until their appearance in game.
* MC stands for "Main Character", and may not actually be the character's name. It's unknown what their actual name is, if it is not "Sparky".
* MC was seen as a Senri in early social media posts for a time, but soon was portrayed as a Kitsune, which became their default appearance.
* The nickname "Sparky" came from Fer.al community member and Discord mod Seraph, and was later referenced in an announcement post for the update that brought in the tutorial.
