Biography

Early Life

Sparkus was born somewhere in the south of Gaushan, although where exactly is unknown. His Father, a fisherman, died whilst he was young and left his Mother to raise him. During his infancy, his mother travelled all across the continent avoiding the ongoing destruction caused by the Elyrian-Entente War. Searching for a safe place for her to raise her child, she heard of a settlement on an island just across the ocean. They called themselves The Anglers and were a group of fishermen. Believing that to be her safest place to raise Sparky, she worked hard day and night to earn enough for a boat to sail to this island. On the day that she planned to leave, a group of mercenaries caught up with her. It is not known why she was being hunted down. In a hurry and knowing she would not make it off the coast in time, she placed Sparky in the boat pushed it out to sea, hoping that he would land in safe arms. Afterwards she fled northwards and it is unknown what happened next.

Arriving at The Anglers

By a stroke of luck, Sparky's boat landed on the shore of The Anglers settlement where WilkoAC, the leader of the town, noticed the boat floating without any direction. After swiftly retrieving the boat, they noticed the child sound asleep in the hull. From that day forward, Sparky was brought up by the fishermen at The Anglers until his teenage years.

Teenage Years

After realising his profound crafting abilities, Sparky decided to build the settlements first tavern, the Sirens Wake. There he offered his services as a barkeep, speakeasy and also provided rooms for weary travellers. As the war progressed, it found itself on their island. Once the fighting was over, an Elyrian soldier of high status came to their town to offer their apologies for bringing their problems to the island. This apology came with a bar of refined Netherite alloy. This sparked an interest in Sparky; the more he studied the material, the more he longed to venture into the depths of the Nether to retrieve more.

The Nether Accident

Upon learning how to access the Nether, Sparky spent day and night to fashion his own glass portal to the Nether. As he stepped inside, something went wrong and the portal imploded on its self just as Sparky had entered, trapping him in some in-between world of dirt and darkness and leaving him arm-less. After days of looking for a way out, he heard whispers much like his mothers and before he knew it he was brought back into existence, laid on his floor amongst the shards of volcanic glass. Days went by as the distraught young man slumped into a depression until one night he was awoken by the sound of footsteps in the tavern. Rushing to his sword, he jumped into the hall to halt the intruder only to find no one there other than a crumble of obsidian and the smell of his mothers cooking. This feeling of homeliness drove his decision to find his mother from that day on. He purchased the schematics for a mechanical arm from a wandering trader and crafted himself a new arm.
