Sparks

Sparks are a relatively new species of Demihumans, representing the  Shaper of Energy. After all, it was hard to become the Demihuman of a Power without using their Lore, and it was hard to use their Lore if you didn't know they existed.

They got the name Sparks because the first Mages and Cultists to become them represented the Aspects of Light and Electricity and the term was coined before the other varieties were documented but by that point, it stuck even though the connection to sparks were weaker.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Sparks look human, but that is only surface level. Beneath their skin is the energy of the Aspect they represent. Depending on the Aspect, it is possible to see, hear, or otherwise feel the type of energy the Spark is made of.

Biological Traits

Their bodies are made of paramaterials consisting of solidified energy. The type of energy depends on the Aspect of Energy they represent. Sparks of the Aspect of Electricity or Light literally discharge sparks of energy constantly, hence why the Demihumans of Energy are called Sparks. Sparks representing the other Aspects of the Shaper Energy do not discharge sparks of energy as often.

Ecology and Habitats

Sparks are most commonly found in cities or their  Alternates as that's where they'll most easily find their main sources of sustenance.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Sparks need energy. Unlike other lifeforms, they feed of the actual energy, not food that mundane bodies process to draw chemical energies from. They also don't actually use their mouth to absorb energy. Instead, they simply absorb the ambient energy of their Aspect from the environment they're in through their bodies.

Behaviour

Their behavioural instincts vary depending on the Aspect the Sparks represent.

For example, Light Sparks, in direct contrast to  Darklings, actually like light pollution and stay close to sources of bright lights.

For another example, Sound Sparks love finding sources of noise pollution and attend all sorts of concerts. For them, musical ambience is not just part of the experience of eating, it is how they eat.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Sparks have an innate feel for the very energy whose Aspect they represent.
