Age: 25

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Lightning Spark has a cyan coat with a short bright yellow mane and a average-length tail of the same color.

Cutie Mark: His Cutie Mark is a CPU with a lightning bolt on the heatspreader, symbolizing his love for technology (CPU), and his quick thinking (Lightning bolt).

Personality: Lightning Spark is a complete technophile, up-to-date on the latest technology available. He loves experimenting with any technology, even when it's not even proven to be safe. He tries to be friendly with those he meets, but he tends to get into heated debates with those who disagree with his opinions. He tries to help with anything as much as he can, though sometimes he's too eager to help. He isn't exactly the strongest pegasus around, but he always does what he knows is right.

Backstory: Lightning Spark was enrolled at the Corbulo Academy of Military Science (CAMS) when he was 17. His 6 years of studies and training (4 mandatory years, 2 years of officer training) taught him many things about technology, strategy, and discipline.<br /><br />After graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Ph. D. in Cybersecurity, he was picked for the SPARTAN-IV program, giving him the ability to wield MJOLNIR GEN2 armor. He went on 15 campaigns with Fireteam Sapphire, 5 of which were Section III black ops.<br /> <br />When the encryption crisis broke out, he developed the AES-256 Plus protocol, which swiftly solved the crisis. He was then given a choice: remain a member of Fireteam Sapphire, or take the position of Head of Cyber-security at Icarus Base, one of the highest-security stations owned by the UNSC. He chose the latter, and spent 1 1/2 years in this position. He was one of the few who survived the Icarus Stargate catastrophe.
