## Overview

Sparkstar is a former power cat with the power of material transmutation and is a former Leader of SkyClan.

### Appearance

Sparkstar is a white tom cat with sectoral heterochromia, his eyes being green (after his father) and blue (after his mother) and he has a light pink nose. His pelt has spots that have black and numerous shades of gray that are splotched, spotted and speckled. He has tufted ears and has a specific gray spot over his left eye. He has many scars from battles, training, and Auburnstar's 'sessions.'

### Personality

Sparkstar can be a rather serious tom, but always make an effort to joke or smile or just have regular emotions. He was trained by Auburnstar to only be serious or angry and Spark is always trying to pull away from that mindset. He can be reserved at times and can get lost in his own thoughts. Despite all of this, he is caring and loyal to those he is close with and would defend them with his life. He is loyal to SkyClan and wishes beyond anything else to protect it from Auburnstar. He wants to prevent another dictatorship for the clan and wants it to be left in peace.

### Power

Spark's power is called material transmutation and he can turn his whole body into what ever material he touches. He can do this how ever many times he wishes. He can become numerous materials and change how much of a certain material covers his body. He only has to touch the material once to be able to become it but he also has to have touched the material he wants to become within 24 hours. His weakness is an 'Achilles heel' scenario where one spot on his body isn't the material. If that spot is damaged, he feels double physical damage and his body turns to completely normal again, making it much harder for him to turn into materials again. It takes a lot of energy mentally for him to be able to do it again. This spot appears randomly every time he turns into a material no matter how small the portion is on his pelt, the weak spot changes. If he only partially turns into material (let's say he only turns his paw into material) the rest of his whole body that is regular flesh is the Achilles heel and if he were to be scratched on the back, whatever material he has on his pelt would turn back to normal and he would feel double damage to that scratch and it would be harder for him to turn into material again.

## Detailed History

### Early Life

Spark was born to Raccoonleap and Quietskies of SkyClan. He was born on the border of Tribe and SkyClan and couldn't be a SkyClan cat due to Auburnstar. Lunarstar had appeared before Quietskies beforehand and Quietskies wanted her kits to be safe. Lunarstar said her kits would be safe but in return, both Raccoonleap and Quietskies would owe her a favor that was to be named. When her kits were being born, only one survived and that was Spark. Lunarstar said that she protected one for they were all to be stillborn. She also gave him a power, her 'protection.' Spark was taken away to Tribe by Raccoonleap and he grew up as a loving and playful kit with Eagleteller as his adopted father. He had many siblings and parents due to Eagleteller's polyamorous relationships and Spark loved each and every one of his family members. Spark had bonded over many cats including Carving, Thawspring, Cat, Harmony and Zeppelin. Because of his powers, Spark was able to go to the Celestial Council meeting at a very early age as Eagleteller and Zeppelin knew about it and told Hyena and Thawspring. He met most of the council members there but didn't really know what was happening and for the most part tuned everything out. All he knew was that he was 'special' and had a 'power.'

### Apprenticeship

When he became of age to become a To-Be, his assigned mentor was Hyena that Cackles at Dawn who was the Head Prey-Hunter of Tribe. Hyena and Spark easily clicked well with each other and became quite the pair. Spark wandered near WindClan and met Threepaw, another cat who had a power, but unbeknownst to Spark. The two became friends and met frequently at the borders. Spark told Threepaw about the Celestial Council and how it was a place for power cats upon seeing Threepaw able to grow a fourth limb. Threepaw only had three limbs and was missing his fourth but was able to grow a limb to replace the missing one.

Spark was attacked by a rogue named Venomstrike who attempted to kill him and he was able to protect himself by using his powers and turned his body into water. The rogue freaked out and turned tail and ran, leaving Spark adrenaline rushed and frightened.

Spark one day wandered near SkyClan on his own, wanting to explore the territory for himself. He came dangerously close to the SkyClan border and tripped into the territory. Auburnstar who had happened to be there and watching him closely took this as an opportunity to attack and did so. The newly made apprentice tried his best to defend himself but Auburnstar was far more experienced and was able to easily land hits on him. Spark's powers activated when he panicked and Auburnstar realized he was one of the freaks of nature. Thinking on this, the SkyClan leader knew what he could do and knocked Spark out upon uncovering the power's weakness. The leader took the young cat to SkyClan as a prisoner and over the course of many moons, Auburnstar tortured Spark. Spark was very strong-willed and despite what Auburnstar was doing, he continued to try to power through it. The young tom luckily had cats there to support him, like his father, Raccoonleap and a former SkyClan cat named Wiltedwillow who fell under Auburnstar's claws. Wiltedwillow visited Spark in his dreams and comforted him and Raccoonleap healed Spark numerous times after Auburnstar's sessions. His father soothed him when Spark was distraught or traumatized.

Auburnstar saw Spark and Raccoonleap sharing tongues and being much closer than he would've liked and attacked Raccoonleap, almost choking him to death. The only think Spark could think of to save Raccoonleap was to give in to Auburnstar's wishes and join SkyClan as his apprentice. Pleased he finally won, Auburnstar spared Raccoonleap and renamed Spark to Infernopaw. Auburnstar made sure Infernopaw would become his mindless weapon and continued to torture him and train him, grooming him into a SkyClan elitist. He made sure he would hate all cats that were of rogue blood or who were rogues. Auburnstar made sure Infernopaw would obey him without a second thought because if he didn't the consequences would be dire. Auburnstar also manipulated Infernopaw into thinking the only thing to prevent his power from destroying himself was to eat a certain herb that only grew where Auburnstar knew. Auburnstar had snuck poison into his prey to make him very sick and gave him the herbs to make Spark think he was getting better and that it was a cure for his swiftly growing power.

Infernopaw brain was so traumatized that it forced it's own memory to forget certain things to protect himself. He forgot things like the happy times with his family and friends, how Auburnstar found him and attacked him, and his nice moments with Raccoonleap. Auburnstar made up the excuse that Infernopaw was attacked by a puma at the Tribe border and he saved him. That his brain was so horrified at what happened that Infernopaw became a savage and attacked whoever came near him. Auburnstar said he couldn't allow a 'savage' roam the area so he took him prisoner, saying he did Infernopaw a favor.

With all of this in mind, Infernopaw was easily manipulated and fed into Auburnstar's propaganda and lies and slowly became an Auburnstar loyalist, exactly what Auburnstar wanted him to be. He felt very indebted to Auburnstar due to him 'saving him from the puma' and he found his goal to be to only make Auburnstar happy. Infernopaw thirsted for praise from Auburnstar and would go many lengths to receive this praise. Auburnstar had captured another Tribe cat named Catastrophe, also known as Cat, and tried to make him into a mindless weapon as well. Cat soon became an Auburnstar loyalist and joined Infernopaw under the name Volcanopaw. Infernopaw was an isolating cat, only ever wanting Auburnstar to be happy with him and rejected anyone else in his life. Volcanopaw attempted to be friends with Infernopaw on numerous occasions but Infernopaw was too focused on his one goal. To serve Auburnstar.

Auburnstar and Simmerstar formed an alliance called StormClan and combined the territory together. Infernopaw immediately jumped onto the gun of supporting whatever Auburnstar wanted. Infernopaw continued his intense training and Auburnstar decided to take him out one day on a StormClan patrol. They stumbled upon a rogue and Infernopaw immediately attacked him as the rogue threw insulting words at him while trespassing. The rogue and Infernopaw fought but Infernopaw had the upperhand with his powers and overpowered the rogue. The rogue threw more insulting words that triggered Infernopaw's deep trauma and the young tom killed the rogue then and there on StormClan territory. Auburnstar praised him well and decided to make him a warrior. He named him Infernostrike, after his own previous suffix, Auburnstrike. Proud and happy to be a warrior, Infernostrike took his warrior ceremony easily in stride.

### Warrior Life

Later in his life, Infernostrike found out Spectrepath has a power by her revealing to him deep in SkyClan's woods. Surprised and angry she hadn't told Auburnstar immediately, Infernostrike demanded she reveal to their leader. Spectrepath explained her situation and he didn't seem to understand it. Due to how Auburnstar taught him, Infernostrike deliberately ignored all the truths about his leader, thinking they were lies. Spectrepath told him that if she did reveal to Auburnstar, he could've killed her. Refusing to believe that, Infernostrike didn't know what to do and Spectrepath convinced him not to tell the SkyClan leader. This led to Infernostrike and Spectrepath having something in common and they went out often to train and hone their skills and powers. This was mostly done in secret.

Infernostrike's fame in SkyClan rose quickly and not only in his own clan, but the clans as well. Auburnstar's newest pet and weapon was no secret, but his powers only revealed to those Auburnstar wanted to see. A cat who so desperately wanted Auburnstar's attention was someone named Blackfeather. She yearned for the attention that Infernostrike received and didn't understand how he got it. He did so much as lift his tail and received Auburnstar's praise while she tried so hard to train as hard as she could to even get the leader to look at her. This sparked a new rivalry between them and a new anger in her. Infernostrike didn't care as for such rivalry and only knew his purpose was to serve Auburnstar. Blackfeather often spoke down to Infernostrike due to his impure blood as he came from Tribe, a group of rogues pretending to be a clan as Auburnstar liked to call them.

Later, Auburnstar and Simmerstar decided they wanted to join forces and territory and wanted the other clans to do so as well. They formed a new clan called StormClan and disbanded SkyClan and ThunderClan. In disagreement, the clans refused to join and thus made tensions rise during gatherings and border patrols. This also caused the other clans to worry about this newly formed clan, knowing all too well that Simmerstar and Auburnstar were greedy for power and territory. War then broke out between StormClan versus Tribe and RiverClan. StormClan fought hard and was able to fight them off and win the battle. Another battle arose with StormClan but this time, ShadowClan and BloodClan joined in to break up StormClan's forces and were able to win the battle, disbanding StormClan and returning the two clans back to ThunderClan and SkyClan.

During a border dispute, Auburnstar took advantage of RiverClan and kidnapped their medicine cat, Cloverdove. The leader seemed to have hit her head too hard for when she came to, she didn't seem to remember her name or what happened. This worked perfectly into Auburnstar's plans and gave her a new name, Morningpaw. He gave Infernostrike a duty to train her and take over. Cloverdove at first didn't question what happened but over time she started to ask more and more questions and considered if she should trust Auburnstar or Infernostrike at all. RiverClan, determined to get Cloverdove back, fought SkyClan and won, returning Cloverdove back to her home and where she belonged. Cloverdove was able to get her memories back. Auburnstar also kidnapped a ShadowClan she-cat named Soleil and imprisoned her as well as some other ShadowClan apprentices.

Infernostrike later on overhead Owlscar and Auburnstar discussing their thoughts about new warriors. Wanting to please and surprise Auburnstar, Infernostrike decided he would deliver. He found Spiritbrook, an open supporter of Auburnstar and awkwardly asked her to be his mate and give Auburnstar kits. She agreed and the two slowly started to spend more and more time with each other. They eventually fall in love with each other and Spiritbrook reveals to Infernostrike that she is pregnant. Excited and filled with happiness, Infernostrike immediately wishes to tell Auburnstar. The two of them make their way to his den and reveal to him that she has Infernostrike's kits. Auburnstar had been hearing Infernostrike's deviant questions and finally caught on that it was Spiritbrook filling those ideas in his head. The furious SkyClan leader, knew that with a family to now focus on and protect also knew that he would slowly lose his grasp over control over the tom. The leader instructed Infernostrike to kill Spiritbrook and his unborn kits. Infernostrike was utterly shocked and said that he did as Auburnstar asked, brought new warriors and he told him that he loved Spiritbrook with all his heart. Auburnstar refused his disobedience and went to attack Spiritbrook. Infernostrike immediately defended her and continued to ask why he wanted to kill her. The leader didn't give him a straight answer and managed to get past Infernostrike and kill Spiritbrook and his unborn kits himself. Broken into pieces, Infernostrike was unable to function as he lay with Spiritbrook's corpse and he was dragged away to the prisoner's den. Quietskies had seen enough and declared that she was no longer to be deputy and finally told Auburnstar her true and final thoughts to him. A murderous and horrible leader to SkyClan. Auburnstar had suspected that she would turn on him and she ran far and away from SkyClan, trying to escape. The leader instructed his warriors to go after her and Blackfeather immediately followed after her, getting ahead of herself. Blackfeather was able to catch Quietskies but with some convincing, the warrior let the former deputy go and Quietskies lived. To Auburnstar's satisfaction, Blackfeather came back to camp and declared that she had killed Quietskies and disposed of her somewhere where she wouldn't be found.

Heart shattered, Infernostrike stayed in the prisoner's den and couldn't bring himself to move, eat or drink for days. Wiltedwillow helped Infernostrike heal and guided him. She revealed to him Auburnstar's true nature and the truth behind what happened to him. Infernostrike had a new plan and a new vision. His mind was clear and his soul was cleansed.

ShadowClan battled SkyClan a second time and SkyClan won and ShadowClan was able to take back . During this battle, Infernostrike was able to escape the prisoner's den as the guards were busy fighting ShadowClan warriors. He broke free and went straight for Auburnstar who was battling Lakestar and told him his feelings of betrayal and emotion. Infernostrike reclaimed his name Spark back and disrespected his name given by Auburnstar and took one of Auburnstar's lives. He fled SkyClan and offered Spectrepath to join him. They both changed their names to rogue names, Spark and Spectre and they met Quietskies and Raccoonleap as loners, living together. They revealed they were Spark's biological parents and they apologized for not being able to be there for him, they left him in Tribe to be protected from Auburnstar. Spark forgave them and he and Spectre were invited to live with them and Tumblebee, RiverClan's former medicine cat.
