Character Biography

The future is a place ahead of time with incredibly advanced technology, hoverboards and a dystopia where everything is digital. The Spark AR character is a representation of a person from this same time who is half human, half robot, runs on battery and lives in Cybertron, a utopia set in the year 3000.
The thought process behind my character was fairly simple. The virtual world I always imagined to build was a futuristic one similar to the movie Tomorrowland. It was clear to me that the character needed to have a halo and an LED display in front of it’s eyes. I found an image on Google and thought it was the perfect depiction of the character I had in mind. It finally ended up having a halo on top of its head, a display lens over its eyes, a charging port on its forehead as it was part android and I added a blue reflecting filter over the face since I imagined the natural light in the world to be blue as if mabye everyone lived in a dome. I dont know what it was about the colour blue but it gave everything a futuristic effect.
The character is an android and has a genetically modified face and body and therefore is not represented by my physical self. The character is not me, the design is meant to be one of the more privileged people living in Cybertron who has the Halo on their head. The Halo is not an easy object to acquire in Cybertron, it requires extreme display of skill and sacrifice to be rewarded to someone who receives it personally from the Overlord. I call these people the Watchers. Since the image of the way the Overlord looked, was not clear in my mind, I designed the next powerful person using the software, a Watcher.
