BASICS
Designation : Sparkflare
Nicknames : Spark, Sparky, Sevens
Past names : Sparrow
Gender : Mech
Home Planet : Cybertron
Home City State : Nyon
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Autobot Leader
Personality : As the new leader of the Autobot faction, Sparkflare is stern and reserved and has lofty expectations when it comes to his troops and be often seen as rigid and strict when it comes to disobedience has he has very little tolerance for it. Whenever Sparkflare is not actively being the big stern leader, he is carefree, jovial and very talkative as he and can have a long, one-sided conversation casually. Sparkflare has a clear dislike for formalities. One piece of evidence to support the dislike is that unlike Skyspray and Vating, he has not adopted the title of Prime and is quick to correct anyone who refers to him as "Prime". Sparkflare can have a brash and abrasive side to him if he is greatly angered by something. He admittedly doesn't like this side of him and does his best to keep it in check. However, if he has got a grudge against something or someone, he can find it very hard to focus on staying calm.
In combat he is usually silent, unless he has to give out order or respond to his troops. His silence helps him focus on the task at hand and doesn't distract himself with useless monologues. Sparkflare is a quick thinker often coming up with a plan and changing it when it is required. Pairing his quick thinking with his experience of being Skyspray's third in command, it is possible for Sparkflare to turn the tide of battle easily if he is able to sit back and analyse. Thanks to his mentor, Nitros, Sparkflare has a soft spot for innovative technology and gear, always trying to find a way to improve upon it.

EQUIPMENT AND ABILITIES
Weaponry :
Spear
> Sparkflare's only straight forward weapon. He can use Half-Spark to conduct electricity through the spear to shock his target upon impact.
Gadgets :
Pointers
> Disc-shaped projectiles that stick to targets. When Sparkflare releases his electricity, it converges to where the released pointer is. The working distance limit is 50 meters. The pointers are able to float in the air to avoid the electricity going into the ground.
Shooter
> A device Sparkflare wears on his right forearm that fires the Pointers.
Optical Visor
> Since the visor was attached outside of Sparkflare's helm like goggles, Sparkflare can use his visor without his T-Cog. Sparkflare mostly uses it to update himself on his pointer's location and select a pointer for his electricity to be directed.
Capture Cape
> The cape Sparkflare wears is made out of a sort of cloth-like material with steel alloy and carbon nano-fibres woven into it. It also has a fire resilient coating to protect it from burning off when Sparkflare uses Half-Flare. He uses the cape to restrain or immobilise his target by having the cape wrap around his target. He can also use Half-Spark to conduct 100 volts of electricity through the cape to tightly wrap around his target. He can conduct a large amount of electricity to shock his captive.
Abilities :
Outlier Mutation - Half-Spark, Half-Flare
> Sparkflare's named his outlier mutation after himself as he could not find a fitting name. Half-Spark allows Sparkflare's right side to emit electricity from his body. Sparkflare can emit up to 10 megavolts. Sparkflare is unable to direct the electricity he discharges. Since he left, he made himself Pointers and a Shooter to help him with that problem. Sparkflare could also discharge his electricity indiscriminately, however this is more effective if he is surrounded by enemies and not team-mates. Sparkflare can use Half-Spark to conduct electricity through just about anything.
Half-Flare allows Sparkflare to emit flames from his left side. Unlike Half-Spark, the flames are easier for him to direct as he nearly needs to point and fire the fire. Flames can appear emitting from Sparkflare's left side just before he is about to use his flames. The temperature Sparkflare can emit is up to 3000 °C. Half-Flare also allows him to heat up his body and the area around him up to 100 °C without consequence as it doesn't require him to produce the flames.
Sparkflare can use both sides at once to create a dangerous burst that can possibly be fatal to anyone caught. The burst strains Sparkflare greatly so he only uses it if he feels his life is in danger.
For each post Half-Spark is used it takes away one usage point and will require two posts to cooldown and regain back the usage point, however Half-Flame won't be affected and can be used.
The only things that won't affect the cooldown is when Sparkflare uses his Half-Spark and Half Flame at 100 volts/100 °C or less as those are rather minimal for him to produce.

History :
4 Million years Sparrow's spark was discovered in the Aylon region of Cybertron, alongside his spark sister and many others. Sparrow awoke in Nyon and was designated the function of a courier. His vehicle mode had big red 7s on the doors, making him very easy to spot. Because of this, Sparrow gained the nickname Sevens As Sparrow was given a body on the eve of war, Sparrow only was able to live in the Golden Age for two weeks.
As the war began and changed the face of Cybertron, Nyon began to decay as Zeta Prime leeched off from Nyon's energon supply to fuel his war machines. The citizens of Nyon learned of this an revolted against Zeta Prime with guerrilla tactics.
This was the first instance of Sparrow's talent in fight began to show. Zeta would catch on to Nyon's "betrayal" and sent in Omega Destroyers to punish the city. Sparrow helped some escape from the Omega Destroyer's onslaught, however that wouldn't stop Slinger convincing Hot Rod that detonating the explosives around Nyon and lighting up the city and its citizens in flames was better than to become Zeta's fuel.
Sparrow would never forget the force and the heat that came from the burning city. This event would traumatise Sparrow for the rest of his life. Once the fires had died down a bit, Sparrow walked around and clawed out the ruins for two whole weeks. The only thing that fuelled him for those two weeks was that someone had to still be alive, someone could be saved. However there was nothing found. Not even his spark sister. Having failed, Sparrow made promise to his memory of his spark sister never let something like Nyon happen again by using Half-Flare at a high enough intensity to permanently burn Sparrow's face over his left optic. Sparrow would then make his long journey south. His failure on his mind, Sparrow walked on for a week, unaware of his surroundings and himself. Sparrow passed out.
When he awoke, Sparrow realised he had been arrested by Autobots for his crimes against the faction during his time as a guerrilla. It was there he met and was saved by Nitros, who offered Sparrow to spend the rest of his days rotting in a cell or work for him. Sparrow chose the latter and was drafted into Sqaud S.
Before Sparrow could go on any missions with Squad S, he needed to gain proper military training from Nitros. During Sparrow's training Nitros gave him the name Sparkflare and the bond between teacher and student was strong. Whenever Squad S were on a mission, Sparkflare did Courier work or try working on making new weapons as Nitros taught and inspired him to an engineer as it may prove useful in later life. When he was officially ready, Sparkflare worked with Squad S. Sparkflare had a talent in fighting before, but with some expert training, he was able to be considered for the Wreckers if enough time had passed. Within a year, Sparkflare made his way up the inner rankings of Squad S, even to the point were he was Second in Command to Nitros. During his time with Squad S, Sparkflare learned how to pilot seeing as the last mech who was the designated pilot was killed in battle. Five years passed and Autobot High Command caught on to Sparkflare's talent and achievements saw fit to relocate Sparkflare to a more brutal black ops division, the Wreckers. When Sparkflare received the order to be relocated, he said his farewells to his mentor forever as the two would never see each other again.
Sparkflare worked within the Wreckers as their weapons engineer and stealth operative. Because of his position, he was sent on the lesser known missions. Never was Sparkflare apart of anything as famous or brutal as Garrus 9 was. Sparkflare was called in when things needed done quietly, but would often end up messy anyway. Everyday Sparkflare lived, he considered to be the lucky one to have not met a brutal fate.
When the core of Cybertron shut down, the mass exodus of the planet Cybertron took place as well as the disappearance of Optimus Prime and Megatron slightly afterwards. When the exodus was considered finished, both Autobot and Decepticon factions spread across the galaxy, fighting on an endless battle ground. The Cybertronian civil war became infamous by organics and mechanical beings alike as it echoed throughout the galaxy as the machines of war carried on. Sparkflare had joined the crew of the Regenesis when the exodus happened. He accompanied the ship on its trip to Nebula where there was a rumour that there was a artefact powerful enough to revive Cybertron on an organic planet inhabited large unintelligent creatures with scales on their skin. During his time serving on the Regenesis as it made its way to the planet, Sparkflare rose among the ranks and earned himself a place within Autobot High Command while also witnessing Skyspray's rise to power as he was made the new leader of the Autobots.
When the Regenesis arrived on Earth, Sparkflare took the form of a 2018 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. Being in High Command allowed Sparkflare to grow in fame and popularity among the Autobots, which gave Sparkflare a slight ego boost and made him slightly cocky at times. A month before the large battle against the Regenesis and the Victory over Cybertron's atmosphere, Sparkflare left to attend to some matters that are classified among himself, Skyspray and Vating.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of three bullets ( Full sentences required ).
- Half Spark, Half-Flame is Sparkflare’s most powerful assest because of its raw strength and the ability to balance out it’s usage.
- Experience working as Skyspray’s Third in Command has allowed him to gain the mind of a stratagist, combine that with his quick thinking, then you have someone who can quite capable of changing the course of battle.
- Perfectly complementing with his quick thinking, Sparkflare has been trained to act quick and light on his feet, this can make great in hand-to-hand combat.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of three bullets (Full sentences required).
- Using one side too much can be problematic for Sparkflare. If he uses his flames too much he could overheat or start melting. Using his elecricity could short circuit his processor, making him fall unconcious, or paralyise himself.
- Despite his potential on being a military leader, if Sparkflare were to get distracted by one of his grudges, his judgement may become clouded and misguided.
- Lacking normal weaponry and a vehicle mode due to a missing T-Cog, Sparkflare is at a disadvantage in long range combat and speed.
