Spark Traits

This lists all of the traits that sparks can have in the Dawn Collection.

# Clan

* **Description**: Defines the rarity of the spark, and the Flux Power awarded to the holder. (Flux Power was used by holders in the Vault of the Ancients prologue to vote on the outcome of the story). The clan of a Spark defines which options for each trait are available. Ascended Sparks have completely unique traits (Legendary 1:1s). Ancient Sparks have exclusive masks, backpacks, cans, collars, and floaties, while Relic Hunters are able to get body & background graffiti traits that Network Disruptor’s cannot have.
* **Options**: Network Disruptor (60%), Relic Hunter (35%), Ancient (5%), Ascended (0.1%)
* **Community** **Speculation**: The Clan of a Spark may refer to its experience, age, or power in the universe. It is speculated that Network Disruptors are fairly new or young Sparks, while Ancients and Ascended could even be immortal. Are Ancient Sparks the same Sparks that created the Vault of the Ancients?
* **Other Information**: All Ascended Sparks are hand-crafted from head to toe by Anthony Chong Jones (Aka RobotPencil) https://twitter.com/robotpenci

# Build

* **Description**: The physical size and masculinity / femininity of the Spark
* **Options**: Art3mis (33.5%) — Feminine, Taph (33.4%) — Large masculine, Kay (33.2%) — Medium masculine
* **Community Speculation**: In the Vault of the Ancients (VOTA) audio drama, Art3mis, Kay, and Taph are mentioned as legendary sparks. Could each build resemble the physical appearance of a legendary character?l

# Faction

* **Description**: The core political beliefs or alignment of a Spark. A 50/50 split. Are you a Fyat, a group of anti-technology sparks who are often labelled as religious zealous, or a Lux, a rebellious spark who believes that bringing back ancient technology benefits mankind.
* **Options**: Fyat (49.6%), Lux (50.4%)
* **Community Speculation**: Could the Fyat be trying to save humankind by restricting use of technology (Like Skynet from the Terminator Saga), or are they an oppressive force that needs to be stopped? Is this a classic good guy bad guy story, or is Fyat Lux a more complex world full of nuanced motivations?

# Palette

* **Description**: The color of clothes a Spark wears. Four colors are reserved for the Ancient clan (Death, Akira, White Night, Gold Charm), four are for Relic Hunters (Taffy, Forest, Green Velvet, Militant), four are for Network Disrupters (Angel, Pearl Ranger, Bananas, Violet Storm), and one being shared by Relic Hunters and Network Disruptors (Cold Blue). Along with the uniform this trait gives a Spark most of its appearance.
* **Options**: Cold Blue (16.6%), Angel (13.3%), Pearl Ranger (12.9%), Bananas (12.3%), Violet Storm (12.1%), Taffy (7.3%), Forest (7.0%), Green Velvet (6.9%), Militant (6.6%), Death (1.3%), Akira (1.3%), White Night (1.3%), Gold Charm (1.1%), Other Ascended Palette (0.1%)
* **Community Speculation**: Could a Spark’s Palette represent the House/Family the spark is from (Similar to Game of Thrones)?

# Uniform

* **Description**: The style of clothes your spark adorns. Combined with the palette, this is the primary outward appearance of a spark. A spark can gain unique colors within it’s palette depending on its uniform.
* **Options**: Fisherman (10.0%), WiFi (9.8%), Death (9.7%), Sevens (9.1%), AJ (9.0%), Street (8.9%), Runner (8.7%), Two Face (8.4%), Militant (8.0%), Game Day (5.2%), Camo (4.8%), Plebe (4.7%), Hold (2.3%), Panda (1.4%), Other Ascended Uniforms(0.1%)
* **Community Speculation**: The Death uniform is perhaps the most mysterious in the Fyat Lux universe. On the front of the uniform there is the unexplained number “1435”. On the back is the word “Runner” along with multiple tally marks. Could these tally marks represent the number of deaths the Spark has incited?
	+ On the back of the “Runner” uniform, the words “True 317” are written. Could 317 refer to the area code of Indianapolis, Indiana, the home of the Indianapolis 500 race? On the arm is written “Lies”. What does this dichotomy with “True” represent? Over 90% of the “Runner” uniforms are donned by the Lux faction, could this be a clue?
* **Other Information**: The “Panda” uniform is a favorite trait of the Panda Crew, a popular Fyat Lux sub-community

# Graffiti Art (Background & Body)

* **Description**: A floating graffiti painting that is worn either on the Spark’s body, or one that hovers behind the character. These traits are not available on the Network Disruptor clan.
* **Options** **(Background)**: None (68.3%), Barcode (3.3%), Smiley (2.7%), Marked (2.5%), Heart (1.9%), X (1.9%), No Peace (1.8%), XOXO (1.8%), Triangle (1.7%), City Line (1.6%), K (1.6%), Circle (1.6%), Skull (1.6%), Splatter (1.6%), Explode (1.5%), Skull Face (1.3%), Mustache (1.1%), Bunny (1.1%), TicTacToe (0.7%), Smilesss (0.6%), Other Ascended Backgrounds (0.0%)
* **Options (Body)**: None (69.9%), Smiley (2.9%), Marked (2.7%), Barcode (2.4%), Skull (2.0%), XOXO (1.8%), No Peace (1.7%), K (1.7%), Triangle (1.7%), City Line (1.5%), X (1.5%), Circle (1.4%), Heart (1.4%), Splatter (1.4%), Explode (1.3%), Skull Face (1.1%), Mustache (1.1%), Bunny (1.0%), Smilesss (0.7%), TicTacToe (0.6%), Other Ascended Body Art (0.0%)
* **Community Speculation**: Some consider graffiti the symbols that a Spark chooses to display. It may be their beliefs, their clan or gang, or a symbol to subtlety communicate to other sparks. Could graffiti like the “skull” indicate the Spark is deadly, or the “heart” represent they are in love?
* **Other Information**: The “Face Mask” Chtara acts as a 3rd graffiti art, allowing a mere 100 sparks to have three Graffiti art displayed
	+ The “skull face” and “skull” graffiti look identical, and it is unknown why they are named differently

# Chtara

* **Description**: The head covering that all Sparks are forced to wear to inhibit their abilities. Sometimes the Chtara can be seen on the Spark, while other times the Spark covers it with a mask. Chtaras are often passed down through bloodlines.
	+ “All Sparks must wear a Chtara — a face covering that inhibits their ability to interface with ancient tech.”
	+ “A Chtara’s complexity varies from Spark to Spark. Each Chtara incorporates relics from the (g)oldworld and its front mask and floating adornments vary depending on the Spark’s power, status, role, and lineage Options: AJ (10.2%), Rebel (10.1%), Simp (10.1%), Fyat (9.9%), General (9.0%), The Mark (9.0%), Militant (8.9%), Robocop (8.8%), Street (8.6%), Death (5.2%), Hold Fast (5.2%), Panda (4.8%), Other Ascended Chtara (0.1%)
* **Community Speculation**: There has been much community speculation and debate on what would happen if Sparks no longer wore their Chtara. Are the Chtara in place for everyone’s safety, or are they another form of control from the oppressive Fyat?
* **Other Information**: Both Fyat and Lux factions wear each basic Chtara. Fyat are twice as likely to wear the Fyat and General Chtaras. Lux are three times more likely to wear the Street Chtara.
	+ The AJ, Death, Militant, Panda, and Street Chtara all have a matching Uniform. The Panda combo is the most rare, with only 6 sparks having it. The “Panda” Chtara is a favorite trait of the Panda Crew, a popular Fyat Lux sub-community.

# Mask

* **Description**: A face covering that hovers in front of the Chtara, likely chosen by the individual spark. Ancients have special “infused” versions of certain masks, indicating they may have extraordinary power. The mask trait has created numerous community sub-groups.
* **Options**: None (12.2%), Visor (4.9%), Bon Bon (4.9%), 20/21 Vision (4.8%), Wings (4.7%), Gas Mask (4.6%), Masquerade (4.6%), Ancient (4.4%), Baseball (4.2%), Militant Prey (4.1%), Sharp Teeth (4.1%), Face Paint (4.0%), Joker (3.9%), Guy Fawkes (3.9%), Rat (3.5%), Puppy Skull (3.5%), Drone (3.5%), Pig (3.3%), Anubis (3.2%), Crow (3.1%), Punk Rock (3.1%), Vejigante (2.5%), Kor (2.2%), Bob Bon Hunter (0.4%), Crow Hawk (0.4%), Anubis Prime (0.3%), Bon Bon Infused (0.3%), Crow Infused (0.3%), Baseball Tribal (0.3%), Sushi Fox (0.3%), Wings Infused (0.2%), Anubis Infused (0.2%) Other Ascended Masks (0.0%)
* **Community Speculation**: There is high specialization in the masks a Spark can wear, perhaps indicating this is one of the most personal choices a Spark has.
	+ The “Wings” masks have different versions that look like flapping wings when combined together. Could the Wings mask be activated to move by the Spark wearing it?
* **Community Subgroups**: Rat Pack (Rat Mask), Anubis Clan (Anubis, Anubis Prime, Anubis Infused Masks), Chaos Club (Gas Mask, Drone, and Sharp Teeth Masks)
* **Other Information**: A typo was made on the trait “Bob Bon (Hunter)”. It should have been named “Bon Bon (Hunter)”

# Backpack & Accessory

* **Description**: Objects a Spark carries with them to perform day-to-day activities. Sometimes they are useful items like a light beacon or canteen, other times it’s a mysterious item like an MRI, floating orbs, or a jetpack. Like masks, Ancient clan Sparks can have an “infused” backpack that may have extraordinary power.
* **Options (Backpack)**: None (11.7%), Suitcase (11.3%), Jets (11.1%), Hoverboard (8.9%), Drums (8.4%), Puppy Bag (7.7%), Beacon (7.6%), Cubic (7.6%), Orby (6.0%), Bat (3.3%), Bon Bon (3.2%), Speakers (3.0%), Primal (1.6%), Atari (1.6%), MRI (1.4%), Orbies (1.2%), Rings (1.2%), Electric Four (0.5%), Hard Nails (0.5%), Teddy (0.4%), Donut (0.3%), ETH (0.3%), MRI Infused (0.3%), Hard Nails Infused (0.3%), Electric Four Infused (0.2%), Donut Infused (0.2%), Rings Infused (0.2%), Other Ascended Backpacks (0.1%)

* **Community Speculation**: Many of the abnormal items a Spark carries could be useful technology leftover from the ancient (G)old World. Some of these items could be weapons, but others like the “Jet Pack” or “Hoverboard” are likely advanced transportation devices.
* **Other Information**: The community subgroup “Teddy Crew” are fans of the “Teddy” backpack & accessory. Members of the community group have speculated the “Teddy” is actually a robotic self-defense device, and have made a tongue-in-cheek commercial for it

# Front Floatie, Side Floatie, Cans, Collar
