OneShot: The Solstice Route

Niko is very cute. Also to be the savior or messiah. She likes pancakes too. Always filled with hazelnuts. She also dreams too. Like it would be yesterday's dream or today's dream. She is also cool too. Probably Nine.

Niko is kind and caring. Being the messiah that the prophecy has foretold, they became determined to reach the Spire and bring the sun back to it in order to save the World, even despite what others say that the sun won't stop the World from dying. Niko is also helpful. A few instances of their helpfulness are seen in the game such as where they repair the row bot at the dock part in the Barrens and volunteer to find Alula and return her to Calamus. Upon reaching the Refuge, they began to express indecisiveness, as seen where they have trouble choosing whether to bring back the World's sun but risk losing their only chance to return to their homeworld or whether to shatter the lightbulb, destroying the World instantly and for them to return to their homeworld. Niko also tends to be curious. They often turn to the Player to ask questions, most of them are regarding any information about the Player.

Silver is the head engineer of the Barrens robot team, and one of the main supporting characters in OneShot. She is a tall robot with a thin build, red hair and a purple robe.

Silver is an important character in Niko's journey, as she provides them with information on how to get out of the Barrens, as well as giving them the amber necklace required to activate the Tower. However, she does not show enthusiasm about the Sun, as she believes that restoring the sun to the tower will not save the world from its decay and destruction.

According to Kip, Silver was an effort to make a Tamed robot using the former as the template for her design. However, due to complications and contradictions in the code, Silver became unstable and went rogue (assumed to mean disobeying the three laws of robotics). This lead to an incident which made her damage something (or hurt someone) severely. Due to this, after the Author managed to stabilize her, she was transferred to the Barrens to replace the head engineer there. News of the incident managed to reach far as a note from one of the previous workers in the Barrens complains about Silver being the replacement of their head engineer. Kip laments that Silver probably eventually became aware of her abandonment and therefore stopped responding to any attempt of keeping contact. Since then she has stayed in the lookout point in the Barrens.

Calamus is one of the two children residing in the ruins, the other being his younger sister, Alula. He wears red clothes with what appear to be red feathers on his hands and clothing resembling a bird's face on his head.

Magpie is the trader found in the Glen. He's known to love glass so much that he has amassed enough to set up the trading post to make room for other things.

Alula is a cheerful young girl, often being very calm and positive in most situations as well as making many jokes. Contrasting to her brother's timid and concerned nature.

The Lamplighter (or Plight as referenced by file names) is the maintenance worker of Refuge. He's mainly tasked to replace the red phosphor found in Refuge's lights. He is the second character (next to the Red Guardian) that Niko and the Player meet in Refuge.

Kip is a scientist in charge of making robots in the factory. She was also the template used to make Silver in an attempt to make a Tamed robot.

George is the head librarian of the library in Refuge. She has six different personalities that you can possibly meet (correlating to the six faces of a die).

Ling is a person working at the cafe in Refuge. He gives Niko pancakes when they visit the cafe out of hunger.

He's a robot that is mostly light blue and dark blue, with the exception of his eye, which is yellow.

Cedric is The Author's son. He helps Niko go from the Glen to the Refuge with the flying machine. He has white hair, a black hat with a feather on the left side, a pair of goggles with green lenses over his eyes and a smaller pair wrapped around his hat.

Rue, similar to Niko, is kindhearted and caring, talking to Niko in a friendly manner even though they usually don't remember her. After the Equinox Update, she is also shown to be obedient and loyal as she followed the Author's written advice despite such likely causing her loneliness.

Prophetbot is one of the first characters Niko meets on their journey. Their appearance consists of a light grey body wearing a long white robe. Their head is cubic - sporting a single, large camera for an eye, along with two red antennae, one on each side of their head.

Maize is a powerful plant spirit who used to protect the Glen until the sun died, causing her health to deteriorate, according to Calamus. She went to the ruins and caused vines to block doorways and paths, but they disappear after Niko gives her the Sun.

Rowbot #310 is one of the multitude of robots that is attached to a boat, known as a Rowbots. Their primary purpose is to transport people across the ocean from the Barrens to the Glen and vice versa. They have a built-in navigation circuits which allows them to calculate the path and shortest route between the ports in the Barrens and the Glen. They also have the ability to trace materials from their source locations, which in turn activates their backup tracking system. This backup system is used when Niko presents the amber that Silver gave to them to the Rowbot. They are powered by the electromagnetic field of the generator in the Barrens.

The Green Guardian is the Guardian in Glen and is in charge of not letting Niko go the Refuge unless they have a pen

The Red Guardian is the Guardian in Refuge and is charge of not letting Niko go to Garden unless they have the Sacred Kernel.

The World Machine is a simulation of the world itself. It could be considered as the spirit of the world. It was created by the Author in order to recreate the old world in a simulation, but it deteriorated itself over time.
