Profile

Name: Spark

Gender: Female

Type: Basic

Function: Outlands Exploration

Affiliation: Appears neutral, secretly fights for Flynn against Clu.

Weapons/Vehicles: Highly skilled with the Identity Disk, some skill with the Light-Staff and Light-Katana. Carries two batons, each with several special subroutines: Off-Grid Light-Cycle, Normal Light-Cycle, Light-Jet, prototype ‘Shadow-Cloak’ for each vehicle.

Appearance: 5’6’’, medium-length black hair (falls past the shoulder blades, always braided, most of the time it’s a simple braid, but sometimes she does it a little fancier), deep blue eyes(that always have a liquid shimmer to them), black outfit, blue-white circuitry. Her helmet can become opaque at will and is often worn that way.

History: Spark was created by Kevin Flynn about a cycle after the ISOs started to appear. Her function is to explore the Outlands and gather data and to report any anomalies that she finds there. She reports to Flynn directly, or to Tron if Flynn isn’t present. Designed to survive the low-energy environment of the Outlands, and to be able to find and use whatever natural energy sources are out there. Was a friend to the ISOs, especially the ones who inhabited the Bostrum colony. Was one of the few Basics who were allowed to visit the colony on a regular basis.

Spark was on her way back to Tron City to make a report when the coup took place. She was at the Bostrum colony when Abraxas attacked, and helped Flynn escape from there. After, she helped Flynn find the place for his safehouse - giving him a list of possible locations that would be ideal. She brought Flynn news of what was happening in Tron City, and taught Quorra how to be inconspicuous. After Abraxas' first appearance at the co-administration ceremony, Flynn thought that a program who often went alone into the Outlands might need some protection from possible infection, so he used an experimental encryption cypher on her disk. That encryption gave her enough protection from Clu's repurposing so she could vanish.

After the purge, Spark’s forays into Tron City became even shorter and less common. She would stay long enough to hear news, then leave again. Clu did not know that she helped Flynn, and when he questioned her, she told him that she wanted no part in his power games. She would not hinder him, but she would not help him. Clu was unwilling to derezz her at that time, thinking he might find a use for her later, and did not have the time or energy to try and break Flynn's encryption right then, so he let her go, planning to recapture her at another time. Spark anticipated this, and dropped out of sight as soon as she was free. After the reintegration, Spark’s visits to Tron City have increased again, but she is still wary.

Personality: Very much a loner, Spark spends most of her time in the Outlands, whether she’s on duty or not. Even before the coup, Spark rarely stayed long in Tron City, or any of the other major population centers of the Grid. She would come in, deliver her report, and vanish again. Even when she was in the city, she preferred to stay in the background, and was easy to miss. She is kind, yet somewhat distant. It takes a lot to earn her trust, but once earned, she is a loyal friend. Break her trust, however, and your chances of earning it back are close to zero. Make an enemy out of her, and you won’t survive very long if she decides she wants you gone.
