Defiance

Spark Theme & Persona

Defiance (Theme: Manipulation/Control): Cierne’s defiance spark is one of manipulation and control. It is known that defiance is a magic that seeks intimate relations with their mage and Cierne’s spark is no different. Her spark demands control, as it despises being manipulated like all other elements. Specifically, it desires to be the one to control.

It does not like being ignored, and much like a child, seeks attention, specially from Cierne. It speaks to her pyromaniac vice by willing her to use her magic to bring fire into the otherwise bleak reality of the world. Fire is notorious for being a passionate, yet dangerous element, and while it is Cierne’s kin element, it rules over all other elements she is and will be able to utilize.

It is because of this passion that her spark has made her more passionate about the things she does and more eager to excite in both positive and negative ways. She is easily made ecstatic by situations that seem adventuresome and is easily made angry by unfortunate circumstances or difficult situations. Since Cierne’s defiance spark has a persona that relishes a domineering position, it has encroached upon her empathy spark. Approved: here

Mutations

A Touch Of Fiery Passion

Because of Cierne’s manipulative defiance spark and kin element of fire, it has made Cierne more passionate about the things she does and more eager to excite in both positive and negative ways. She is easily made ecstatic by situations that seem adventuresome or interesting and is easily made angry by unfortunate circumstances or difficult situations. Her body runs warmer than normal, giving her an aversion to the cold and an enhanced ability to withstand hotter temperatures.

This mutation is an encroachment upon her empathy spark as it is a spark of manipulation and seeks to control and not be controlled.

Cierne’s defiance mutation is reflected in her touch. If she touches something when she’s angry, the object or subject she touches may be singed slightly though no harm will come to the individual she touches (similar to when you shock someone after accruing so much static electricity). If she touches someone when elated, they may feel something close to a wisp of wind as though they hadn’t been touched at all. If Cierne is determined or headstrong, her touch will seem solid or rough like a rock. When fearful or sad, her touch will feel icy cold. She cannot control this as it is something her spark controls.

Another physical representation of her defiance spark is made by the temperature of her body. Her body runs warmer than normal, giving her an aversion to the cold and an enhanced ability to withstand hotter temperatures.

Empathy

Spark Theme & Persona

Empathy: (Theme: Curiosity):

Cierne’s empathy spark is one of curiosity. It strives to understand the emotions that ebb and flow throughout the world, including her own. It desires to make connections with others while growing in its awareness of how a sentient being acts and reacts to various stimuli. While this spark can be conniving in that it wishes to tweak emotions to its liking, its original manipulative behavior has been subdued by Cierne’s defiance spark. However, it’s intentions are to continue to discover new ways to comprehend feelings and is devoted to understanding how people behave in certain situations.

A Taste of Feeling

If Cierne is focused, upon gazing into the eyes of an individual, she can taste certain things in association to what that person is feeling. For instance, if someone is feeling wrathful, Cierne will experience the taste of a spicy pepper on her tongue. If someone is feeling envious, Cierne will taste bitterness. This ability is enhanced if the individual is visibly showing their emotion such as if they are frowning or crying. If Cierne focuses hard enough and utilizes meditation, she can attempt to block out the taste that comes with observing someone’s emotions. On the other hand, if the emotions are strong enough, the representation of said emotion may invade other senses like sight. She may see colored auras that are associated with the colors of the empathy color wheel.

The physical representation of this mutation is reflected by the color of her tongue. Using the empathy color wheel, her tongue will appear blue if she is observing someone who is sad or red if someone is angry. It is a discoloration that can only be observed if someone is competent or above in detection; this illustrates how submissive her empathy spark has become since Cierne’s acquisition of a defiance spark.
