= Facts =
*Origin: Zero was grown in a tank as a '''corporate-manufactured lifeform''', for later training/programming and sale. She has some built-in technology (effectively a flashlight, smartphone, and computer), but is more quasi-organic than robotic on the inside. The Corporation kept her on as an office worker for several years before a buyer was found. Uses: Knows a fair amount about robots and artificial life, is familiar with corporate jargon and culture, and the psychology of dehumanization.
*Training: She was "employed" for several years as an '''exo-archaeological explorator unit''', digging through derelict spacecraft and ancient ruins. One day she encountered a shard of the Cosmic Prism, which broke her programming locks and gave her a spark of divine power. Uses: Has a smattering of knowledge of many ancient cultures, can tell valuable from worthless artifacts, is pretty good at jury-rigging, breaking into vaults, and finding and removing traps. 
*Relationship: Former property of the '''Hades Recovery Group'''. Zero was an extremely valuable unit to start with, and they believe her to be in possession of a a priceless artifact (in fact, she is not.) They have posted a significant bounty for her return, and may well raise the value of it if early efforts do not meet with success. Hades is old-money by the standards of non-Ancient Humanity, and have accumulated a great deal of wealth and power by raiding the ruins of fallen civilizations.
*Public Persona: Melody has become a singer/songwriter on Athas. She uses music to tell people's stories and rouse the hearts of her listeners to strong emotions. 
*Goal: Evade Capture, Make New Friends, Explore Freedom.
