Doctor Armstrong

Doctor Armstrong is an award-winning roboticist, best known for his contributions to the development of GPAs, namely the Megaraph computer. He was introduced in Spark the Electric Jester, testing the determined jester that he had been watching over the course of the game. He hacked into Romalo, Megagram, Seam, and (presumably) Kerana to assist him.

Appearance
Dr. Armstrong is a small, scruffy, brown Formie. He is one of the older characters, with wrinkles and bags around his eyes. He has blue eyes and matching blue antennae. An uncommon trait on Formies, he has a pinkish red button nose. Underneath, he has an unkempt dark brown mustache. He has large, bushy, dark brown eyebrows.

He wears a red turtleneck sweater. Over it is a white labcoat with gray buttons, and yellow and gray accents. He wears plain brown trousers. He has white sneakers, with similar colors to his labcoat. He finishes the look with simple white gloves.

Abilities
Dr. Armstrong is highly intelligent, able to create advanced robots and devices that are autonomous. However, he seems a little forgetful, as he doesn't program his robots with limits on their goals, seen with the defection of Clarity and Freom. He seems to enjoy self depricating humour.

Spark the Electric Jester
Sometime before the event of the game, Doctor Armstrong began building Megaraph, a powerful supercomputer capable of building many GPAs effeciently. The doctor realised that the computer was always vulnerable to many dangerous threats, and so he built Unit-0, though he quickly realised that his versatile prototype was not powerful enough to protect Megaraph effeciently, and so he began working on it's sequel, Unit-1. Things took a nosedive for the worst however, as Unit-1 had a destructive way of achieving complete protection of the computer, that being the destruction of all life in the Moon, by destroying the artificial atmosphere ring around it. Unit-1 created and launched a virus on the net, to which most GPAs were connected to at all times, giving him full control over them, and so created his army to achieve complete protection of Megaraph, calling himself by a new name, Freom.

Doctor Armstrong does not appear in the game until much later, where he was set up for a meeting with Spark by Romalo, whom the doctor fixed and freed from Freom's virus after he was damaged by Kaw-Man. Doctor Armstrong explains the situation to Spark, with some self depricating humour on the side. The Doctor notes Spark's illegal activities as of the time of their meeting, though promises to deal with the legal usues himself. He considers Spark's actions as a job of sorts, and considers him hired with confirmed payment for his work, overjoying Spark.

Trivia

 * Dr. Armstrong's name could be a reference to the final boss of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Senator Steven Armstrong. Both characters have goals that they think will benefit people and their world, but have skewed ways of achieving it. Besides that, they have little else in common, however.
