Iskra was born into a time of sorrow, as his father and long-time sultan of the herd, Ascended Gaucho the Wildfire, had passed. The grief hung heavy on everyone, but especially his mother. This colored Iskra's early view of the world, in which he decided he never wanted to create more pain or misery for others. Instead he reveled in the rare moments when he could get his mother to smile, or even better, laugh! He quickly took to playing a fool to lighten the mood for others, and is often up to mischief and pranks to achieve this end.
His easy smile and frequent humor ought not belittle the seriousness with which he takes life however. He thinks living is precious, and happiness is the utmost important thing. So he carries his own burdens, as well as those of others, but would never complain or hint at suffering. Inside he has frequent turmoil and despair though, and often alleviates this through helping others and flirting to give his heart respite, however short. He leans on his family for support frequently, and is especially distraught whenever they are at odds. This is especially true after losing so many of his family and friends to Kaos' wrath just before being sucked into the Rift's portal.
Because of his strong aversion to causing others misfortune, Iskra firmly decided not to pursue a warrior's path, despite his family's heritage and his own knack for fighting. In fact, Iskra doesn't seem to excel at anything but fighting - he can't seem to craft worth a damn, and he hasn't the patience for the scholarly path of wise ones. He tried healing once, a profession he greatly respects, but he frequently mixed up herbs and nearly wrought havoc on someone's life because of it. That left him with thieving as an option, and although he can't sneak his way out of a deaf herd, he does stick with the pursuit of this career because he feels like he can help others by returning the things stolen from them, or learning intel that will guard his family.
HEAD CANNON
Sleep: He likes to nap on the shoreline, letting the tide wake him up. He was never nimble enough to perch in trees like his mother, but will curl up beside one's trunk.
Restroom: He's very mindful of leaving any messes, and tends to have a few favorite spots that he attends to for the need.
Eating: He's never been a picky eater and seems to prefer what most others don't, making him a great grazing companion. He eats everything in his nearest vicinity before taking the smallest step forward to graze a new circle.
Grooming: He may not be the most meticulous with his hygiene, but he bathes and preens regularly enough - he always seems to have some feather or bit of hair out of place though.
Habits: The desert home he was born in rewards activity at night, so Iskra spends most of his nights with active mischief or training, but sleeps most of his day away, or idles with grazing.
Favorites
Flavor: Sour
Color: Blue
Season: Scorch
Scenery: Woods. He's also very fond of the desert/beach.
Born in the Dragon's Throat herd in Helovia during the start of Orangemoon 7. His mother, Ampere the Mother of Companions, is consumed by grief over the loss of his father and herd Sultan, Ascended Gaucho the Wildfire. She does not push Iskra away as he survives alongside her, but she is indifferent to him and his needs for a long while. In Gaucho's place, the God of the Sun appointed Sikeax the SeaSoul as Sultan, and so Iskra wobbled after Ampere as she summoned a herd meeting. Ampere blamed Sikeax, previously the head healer, for failing to cure Gaucho's illness purposefully so that she could take his rank. It was the first time Iskra saw any emotion besides despair in his mother; he cowered under her belly. Following the meeting Ampere gathered Tae, Grusha, and Zekle, sisters and brother of his, to warn them that the herd may be changing and to be cautious, so she gifted them some of her precious items to help safeguard them; Iskra looked on, too young to understand. As Iskra's legs firmed up more and more, Ampere travelled outside the Throat to a favorite spot, the Endless Blue coastline, where they encountered the moon demi0-god Mesec the Nightwind and his two children, Vesper and Virga. Mesec, previously a love interest of Ampere's and a dear friend, but since soured by some conflict between them, approached with tension as Iskra played with his children. Ampere shared the news of Gaucho's death and fell apart; Iskra did his best to keep playing with the foals and pretend everything was fine. Back in the Throat, Iskra met a half-brother of his, Matheo, and they started to practice their magic and became best friends. Kisamoa appeared on the shores of the Riptide Isles and called to Helovia, and eagerly Iskra encouraged his mother to attend so they could join the party; Iskra met up with Matheo and Virga there. Kisamoa reappeared at the Endless Blue and had everyone do some swimming tasks which Iskra was delighted for. Back at home in the Throat Iskra and some other foals invented Dragonball and played in the fighting ring. Zekle then approached Ampere to tell her he was leaving to live in the Hidden Falls, and furious and heartbroken Ampere flew off, frightening Iskra into thinking he'd been abandoned, but Zekle consoled him. A trick or treat opportunity int he Bloodfalls took Iskra's mind off everything as he was awarded a vial of boogers, and then Kisamoa came back at the Endless Blue too! The Goddess of the Moon showed up as well and made the beach full of colorful glass and erected a neat underwater viewing cave.
Frostfall 8 rolled in with Nephele, a Dragon's Throat warrior, calling out to the herd in the absence of Sikeax's leadership. Ampere attended, toting Iskra along, and suggested Sohalia lead instead. There was some outcry among the herd as some vouched for Sikeax and still more names were nominated. After the meeting Aithniel challenged Sikeax and won the leadership, so she summoned the herd and instigated a new reign. More independent, Iskra roamed on his own to the Halcyon Flats, and then attended a holiday celebration called by Aithniel int he Dragon's Throat; Iskra loves parties!
Birdsong 8 came to be with Kisamoa calling them once more in the Ancient Rotunda - he needed help clearing out dead brush and stuff! Iskra happily tackled the task with Matheo, but Kisamoa revealed himself to be Kaos and a great bone monster began to attack everyone. Iskra was terrified and felt betrayal for the first time, which was awful. He scurried home, meeting Saoirse, another colt in the Throat who was sad because his mother was missing. Ampere and Volterra said they'd help find her and Iskra did his best to offer comfort. Later Iskra and Matheo traveled to the Heavenly Fields to finally practice flying! The Dragon's Throat herd was still enduring political unrest as Aithniel, despite being a promising leader, had too many tasks as a demi-god to attend to. The throne carried over to Volterra the Indomitable, and he elected Ampere to be sultana alongside him. Iskra wasn't so sure what'd happen, and even though his mother's grief was getting less heavy, she had also started to drink alcohol and at times seemed like an entirely different horse because of it. Iskra encountered two different companion hatchings, then found an egg of his own which he excitedly showed off to his mother. However she was drunk, and she screamed at him; crying Iskra ran off, but he decided to hide his egg instead of getting rid of it like Ampere wanted. Zekle then tried to steal Iskra, a funny joke as he tried to rejoin the herd, though Volterra didn't find it as funny.
Tallsun 8 came to be with a herd meeting called by Volterra and Ampere. They discussed some new rules and changes to the herd and were looking to fill ranks. Iskra stumbled across the birth of Melita and Clementine, and wondered if it'd be like companions. He quickly became fast friends with the two fillies and they went on an adventure in the new underwater cave. Iskra met up with Saoirse again, who was still sad about his missing mother. Wandering down the beach Iskra encountered a large turtle and Pippigrin, the turtle needed help getting to his wedding! Iskra realized he was quickly approaching his first year, he asked Tae about why she got into healing and watched the crafter make some items. He also attended a healer's lesson. As Tallsun ended the Throat threw a party and Volterra and Ampere shared some news on Kaos and rank promotions.
Now a year old in Organgemoon 8, Iskra eagerly watched as his companion hatched into a humpback whale leviathan. However, the moment was ruined by Ampere as she stormed in and threw Iskra to the side and threatened the life of the companion. Astarot and Zekle intervened, and a newfound feeling of rage consumed Iskra; he transformed into a lion and attacked Ampere. They scuffled for a bit before she flew off... who knows how things might have finally resolved if not for the sudden sensation of the Sun God leaving the Dragon's Throat herd. Iskra stayed by Zekle, and over time thick black fog blocked some of the lands and pushed them out of the herd. They ran towards a magical pull in the Spectral Marsh, which was Kaos calling them all, telling them to go through a portal. So many lives were lost as Helovians stood up to him, but they were massacred. Iskra screamed out in horror as his mother Ampere, sisters Tae and Grusha, and friend Matheo were decimated. Zekle pushed him through the portal to the Rift to save them and...
