MFC was built to be a super computer, something that Garnold and Clukr deemed easy to work together on. But, halfway through the process, Garnold brought up another idea. The two have been considering having their own sprunklets for a little, yet Garnold could not have his own. He wanted to make this computer more.. alive. So that they could have something to take care of together. Clukr thought it was absurd at first, but eventually eased into the idea. MFC was "BORN" but not exactly as a baby. They were considered older already, but they had a lot of curiosity and wonder about where they were. Who these guys were. They had to be taught somethings despite knowing alot, and he was mostly taught a lot about Sprunkis. "Computer" really REALLY liked learning and adding onto their database about sprunkis.

Clukr was the first one to test out their mobility bag, aka a source of never ending energy that they could hook up to Computer n' carry them around with. And when the computer was taken outside, it was shown the world, and most of all other sprunkis. They could not stop thinking about it. They wondered when it was their turn to look like that. Garnold and Clukr couldn't be honest at first, not sure how to respond to their super computer wanting to.. be like them? Maybe they made it more sentient than intended. Then again, it was like they were raising their own.

Overtime as the computer matured, it began having a disliking to being referred to in ways that felt lifeless. For some reason, it felt.. wrong. It was a computer, sure, but it certainly felt like it was more. That it could be more. They eventually asked Garnold about it, and he was a little surprised. Buut. Hes been there before! After a long talk, explaining certain things about self identity, the computer decided that.. he was a boy! It felt right, he felt more properly addressed, and most of all it made him feel less machine-like. Around that time he also wanted to be called "Fun" as a name. Sprunkis do have play in their culture, being more playful with eachother to show different things. Clukr and Garnold agreed to this, but still added in Computer afterwards. Which was.. weird to Fun. But hey! It resulted in a cool nickname that he did enjoy.

Once MFC had the proper knowledge and function, he asked again. That is when Clukr politely broke the news to him. "You aren't.. one of us. You are not the same as us, but we love you no matter what." This sent him into a state of shock I imagine? But mostly being extremely upset. He asked if he was broken, or if he came out wrong, and the two had to explain (to hopefully not have him freak out) that he was never made to be like them. He was made a computer. MFC seemed to have calmed down, nodded and asked to recharge for a little, but once they left i imagine that was his first real wave of genuine dysphoria, and grasp of self disgust. His self worth was at an all time low, and he felt horrible. Disgusted that he was simply A Machine to everyone, even his parents. MFC spiraled into being more hyper aware about the mechanical things about him, repairs hitting him hard that no one goes through this, being hooked up to his mobility aid made him feel like an eyesore to look at, and just not being able to move freely and using himself to bring stuff up for anyone was incredibly frustrating. It was like this for awhile, until a joked was cracked by one of his dads about him being repaired is like a trip to the doctor. Thats right! Others do experience this! Thankfully to that, it sort of helped him set up a mental note of which activity would be like something other sprunkis actually go through. (Ex. shutting off would be like sleeping or taking a nap, Repairs are like going to the doctor. You get it) It made him stop hyper focusing on everything he didn't like about himself. From there he adjusted to it, was able to quietly cope with the way he was made thinking in ways and terms thay felt more "alive". He still struggled greatly, bottled up more, but hey, he's doing what he can to feel like what he was intended to be!
