Description

Created by Kevin Winnicot and administrated by Chief Engineer Shion Uzuki, KOS-MOS was developed by the interstellar conglomerate Vector Industries First R&D Division for the Galaxy Federation's Zohar Project. She is the magnum opus of the eponymous KOS-MOS Project.

hardware

She is composed of entirely mechanical parts, a rarity in the age of advanced Realian technology which have replaced androids. KOS-MOS' existence is both anachronistic and futuristic. KOS-MOS has an advanced CPU (central processing unit). KOS-MOS has long blue hair, red eyes which occasionally turn blue, and a layer of realistic-looking artificial prosthetic skin. The source of KOS-MOS' power comes from U-DO by using the original Zohar as a door. Unfortunately, this means that every time KOS-MOS uses her abilities, Shion reacts to U-DO and loses her life force.

personality

KOS-MOS is equipped with a "Simulated Personality OS", or artificial intelligence (AI), to aid in communication. Though her speech conveys her role as a robot in service to humans, the basic tenet to which she adheres is based on logic, probability, and completion of her mission above all else in all situations. She also unconditionally protects Shion. The algorithms she is programmed with do not support the comprehension of illogical human thought. KOS-MOS also possesses a wireless U.M.N. connection and can instantly answer any question asked - for example, if KOS-MOS is asked what the capital of the Galaxy Federation is, KOS-MOS will reply "Fifth Jerusalem". During the dive into MOMO's subconscious domain, Shion is confused about how Albedo could've been attached to Jr.'s back during fetal development, and KOS-MOS explains that occasionally conjoined twins can share portions of their internal organs.KOS-MOS's elemental data structure duplicates that of a human brain. She appears to be emotionless, but throughout the series, evidence indicates that this is not entirely true. A predetermined set of emotions has been hard-coded into her emotion module to better facilitate interactions with humans. She will emit an expression such as sadness only when that response is deemed necessary. However, if the emotion module of her program has determined that it is not currently necessary, she will not emit an expression. KOS-MOS has AAA class encryption. It is a designation given to areas requiring the highest levels of restricted access. As one of the highest classified components of Project Zohar, KOS-MOS falls under this designation. KOS-MOS' importance to this project is evident in Jr.'s comment that the only other entities with that class of restriction would be the "Federation government's motherframe, or the U.M.N. operating system.

combat abilities

KOS-MOS has significant powers believed to be superior to all other party members, with the possible exception of Jr.'s Red Dragon Mode. In addition to superhuman strength and speed, her body is formed from some sort of highly advanced nanomachines that allows her to morph parts of her body (specifically her arms) into various energy projectile and melee weapons. This body is also able to self-repair and is very durable though not indestructible, and she is also protected by a force-shield.She also possesses the ability to summon specialized weapons such as the F-G-SHOT gatling guns and her famous F-SCYTHE and equipment without the use of the U.M.N., due to the usage of a Transfer System. She has a long-range sensory array, the D.S.S.S. (Double Slot Sensory System, read as "D-triple-S") and CPU that either rivals or exceeds even those possessed by 100-Series Observational Realian. The D.S.S.S. detects Gnosis in the imaginary realm.She also possesses the Hilbert Effect, which is used to draw the Gnosis into the physical plane, allowing the party to be able to physically combat them. Once the Hilbert Effect has dissipated, any Gnosis previously affected will return to their state of invulnerability. Ultra Wide-Range Hilbert is the deployment of the Hilbert Effect over an extremely large area. Ordinarily, the range of KOS-MOS' Hilbert Effect is set to cover a radius of about 300,000km. However, when Shion witnessed the impending massive swarm of Gnosis, she decided to enlarge the effective range to a radius of several hundred AU (astronomical units). KOS-MOS has a Secondary Weapon System which is KOS-MOS's main combat equipment; this refers to her current armament, frame material, and substitute armor materials. The Secondary Weapons System made experimental use of a PT cartridge-type phase transfer cannon; the limited unit size, however, meant that the places and situations in which it could be used were restricted. For this reason, the Tertiary Weapons System, with a phase transfer unit installed as standard equipment, was produced on Second Miltia.KOS-MOS has one last optional weapon system called the Tertiary Weapon System, which is seen periodically throughout the series. It was designed by Kevin while he was still alive and built at Vector Second R&D Division on Second Miltia. They consist of a set of energy wings, a pair of energy cannons and other attachments meant to be fitted onto her, with the wings and cannons being part of a Phase Transfer Cannon. Because the phase transfer cannon units are made to be as compact as possible, the recoil when the are fired is very high; the Version 2 KOS-MOS Combat Frame is required to fire these weapons. The PT cartridge-type phase transfer cannon used by KOS-MOS when the Song of Nephilim appeared had been created as a test bed for these cannons. When the cannons are fired, a cooling field in the shape of glowing wings is created behind the unit. While wearing this gear she is shown in a premonition flying through space at sub-light speed and then confronting U-DO above an unknown planet (presumably Miltia) and the exchange that follows destroys many galaxies. The "Third Armament" as it's also known makes a real-time appearance in Episode II on the Omega System. KOS-MOS uses this equipment to protect Shion and the party from a U.M.N. Phase Transfer Cannon fired by Proto Omega.

blue eye'd kosmos

A human-like alternate persona appears occasionally in the form of a blue-eyed KOS-MOS. Blue-eyed KOS-MOS appears to be more powerful than red-eyed KOS-MOS and talks in a more human-sounding voice. This form of KOS-MOS only seems to appear at times when the player character is in extreme danger and plays the role of player characters guardian.
