Summary
KOS-MOS is a Light Element Rare Blade appearing in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She can grant tremendous power to her Drivers, Rex,  Nia,  Zeke or  Mòrag Ladair, and their allies.

History
Her history before bonding with her current Driver is entirely unknown, even to herself; as such, it is not known how many cycles she had lived through, or what Titan she was born from.

She was bonded to Rex or a member of his party at some point following the Reawakening of the Aegis, and fought alongside them as their Blade.

She and her allies found the 7th Perimetre Skyport of the World Tree infested by Blade Bots, and in order to protect the other nations, they decided to try to fight them off. KOS-MOS destroyed them efficiently, but even after her attack, many more swarmed the Skyport, so the party decide to go to Tantal to warn King Eulogimenos of the threat.

In Theosir, they find a young girl; Astelle, who turns out to be Zeke's cousin; at the Royal Audience Hall, who demanded that she be allowed to travel with Zeke and that Kos-Mos would protect her, Eulogimenos reluctantly agreed.

Together they went to Mor Ardain to warn Emperor Niall, and destroyed the Blade Bots at Hardhaigh Palace. Which deeply excited Astelle and caused her to ask Kos-Mos many questions and if she could experiment on her, but Kos-Mos disagreed as she wasn't her Driver. Following this, Astelle begs the party to take her down to the Land of Morytha for research purposes, which they reluctantly agree to. They were attacked by Guldos, which they managed to fight back.

After this, they returned to Theosir, and Astelle asks that KOS-MOS come and see her, and found that she made Kos-Mos an upgrade that allowed her to function at a higher capacity. Following this, they agreed to become friends.

She went with them to the First Low Orbit Station, and explained to them the nature of Low Orbit Station and how it was constructed. She herself admitted that she does not know why she is knowledgeable on it, despite Blades forgetting everything when they return to their Crystal; she said that it was something that just stayed with her, much like her name.

Personality
She has an undying devotion towards her Driver, and holds the protection of her Driver above that of any other people, including herself. She fights due to a mix of feeling that it is what Blades are created to do, and out of a desire to protect. She also thinks that her purpose in existing might also be to seek the answers that she does not have.

Despite her deadpan manner, she cares about her appearance, and requests cleaning if she deems her "appearance parametre" as diminished.

Due to her robotic and blunt nature, she tends to take things very literally, and does not pull punches in her conversations with her allies, often coming across as quite rude, even though it is not her intention.

She believes that her powers are needed to create the future she believes in.

She loves Staple Foods and Board Games; with her favourite staple food being Master's Curry, and her favourite board game being Gladiator Wrestling.

Astelle
Astelle finds her fascinating.

Following the incident in the Land of Morytha, and Astelle making her an upgrade, they decided to become friends with one another.

Her Driver
Whoever her Driver is; be it Rex, Nia, Morag, or Zeke; she feels a deep obligation to protect them and serve to their whims above all else, even her own safety or well-being.

Sheba
Like with many female Blades, Sheba finds her "ravishing". Kos-Mos does not appear to reciprocate her attraction.

T-elos
The two hate each other for their differences in viewpoints and in the methods they see proper to deal with situations. They agree that they will never be able to see eye-to-eye.

Speed:

Range: High (She makes use of long ranged weaponry in her Ether Canons); Higher with Sniper Cannon or The Longstone

Ether Cannon
Her weapon of choice, a large portable canon which can be used to take in Ether and shoot it out as powerful blasts of energy.

She can install various Core Chips into her weapon to alter various aspects of it, such as stats, appearance, or name. With certain chips adding further special effects to it. '''

Immortality
As a Blade she has a form of limited immortality, wherein she will live so long as her Driver survives, even if this means living for centuries, as seen with Blades such as Sever, Obrona, or Cressidus. Although once her Driver dies, she does not necessarily "die", but instead returns to her Core Crystal to be awakened once again.

While they die alongside her Driver, they are still able to survive for a short amount of time after their Driver perishes.

As a Core Crystal, she can resonate with another Driver, and be reborn once again; albiet with each rebirth she loses all of the memories of her previous life. The amount of times this cycle can potentially repeat are seemingly indefinite, lasting until she eventually becomes a Titan.

If her Core Crystal is destroyed by a strong enough force, she will perish without any chance of resonating with another being; therefore suffering a final death.

Radar
She has a radar that she can use in order to scan the area for hostile forces, and can make out their location and quantity quickly and seemingly with ease.
