C0-D3 is a Spark, a small UFO-like creature who arrived from space a short while ago. They are easily recognizable by their X-shaped-eye. A reserved little creature, they are generally friendly - but tend to be very frank with their observations.

Having only spent a short time in Einquell, they feel more at home here than they ever did back in space...

## Personality

C0-D3 is very empathetic, observant and polite - but not above dishing out some sass. Having spent their formative years working in the same boring role, they have come up with many ways to amuse themself while they work. This includes eavesdropping and gossip - but their favourite thing to do is sing.

When they worked as a Sprocket in the Great Machine, they never saw anything beyond the gears they worked among. Therefore, Einquell's variety of sights and sounds can be overwhelming to them, and they can tire quite easily during an outing.

C0-D3 is very supportive of friends and allies, and can generally read others quite well. However, they do not think highly of themself, and believe they are quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things. They are confused when told otherwise.

## Appearance

C0-D3 resembles the classic UFO. The saucer-shaped-ship is coloured bronze, with a pale turquoise green ring around the center. Two turquoise bulbs are situated to either side of the center, and four more to the front and back of the ship. There are also two loopy decals on either side of the center - given by Blink Lightly.

In the center of the saucer is a glass dome. From inside the dome is their head, a black orb with one bright turquoise eye. Their right eye is an X, and they only have their left antenna remaining - causing their head to resemble a semiquaver music note.

When C0-D3 is in need of their hands, they shift into their Winged Mode. Their saucer ship splits into six pieces - four wedges and two strips - and form four wings and two arms, respectively. The Blink Lightly decals are located on the back of their arms. Their domed head is revealed to be in a glass bubble helmet. A little black core serves as the torso, and three-digit hands form at the ends of the arms.

## Backstory

C0-D3 was manufactured as "C0-D3 Sprocket Class" in the Great Machine. They were immediately put to work assisting in powering the machinery in the bowels of the engine, and rarely saw anything beyond the walls of their workplace.

Though they were diligent, C0-D3 was often seen as an oddball. They were easily bored with their duties, and took to eavesdropping and listening to gossip among their fellow Sparks. It wasn't long, however, before they took to singing instead - something unheard of among Sparks in the Great Machine.

**(Spoilers from 'UFO Sighting' onward)**

One day, C0-D3's singing attracted the attention of M1-A Sentry Class - who was stationed nearby. Expecting to be told off for making noise, C0-D3 was surprised when M1-A simply asked what they were doing.

While the two UFOs remained committed to their duties, C0-D3 and M1-A bonded over mutual fascination with 'song.' C0-D3 began to spend time making melodies for the Verses of the Great Machine - poems that informed Sparks of their Roles and how important they were. M1-A would often report to C0-D3 about their role as Sentry, and the many things they had seen from the viewing ports of the Great Machine.

One day, M1-A stopped visiting C0-D3 altogether. Accepting that M1-A must have moved on to more important duties, C0-D3 continued on with their own. But despite their best attempts to continue on unaffected, they were saddened by their friend's departure - and began to sing louder and louder in the hopes that M1-A would at least hear.

Soon after, the pincer mechanisms of the Great Machine's frame seized C0-D3 and informed them that they were to be disposed. C0-D3 was shocked and terrified, but accepted their fate as they were carried towards Disposal - believing the Great Machine must have had a good reason for their decision.

To their surprise, M1-A intervened - pulling them from the Disposal compactor before it could complete its act. In spite of this, C0-D3 was horribly injured from the incident and rendered helpless. They were carried away by M1-A to an escape pod, and they flew away from the Great Machine. The two Sparks would come to crash land near the coast in Einquell.

When their ship was washed away, M1-A managed to find a nearby field and shack for C0-D3 to rest in. After it became apparent that C0-D3 would not be able to recover with rest, M1-A set out on their top-secret mission: They would find a way to restore C0-D3 to functionality, return home to the Great Machine, and sort out whatever strange error had landed C0-D3 in disposal.

However, C0-D3 did not believe that the Great Machine wanted them back. They chose to kept that fact to themself, hoping instead that M1-A would be accepted back home into the Great Machine when they had fulfilled their mission.

C0-D3 would spend many months being too tired to move or do too much of anything, due to their injuries. However, they would always look forward to M1-A's daily reports, and would come to grow more and more curious about Einquell, itself.
