“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
Humans are wonderful little things. They live very short lives, sometimes much shorter than even they had envisioned, but some of them manage to pack a lot of meaningful living into that short period of time. Some like to explore, some like to just enjoy their life, and some....well, that's the part that dismays Sark.
Sark is a protector and a watcher. The world has gotten cold and painful as humanity has grown, and while many of Sark's kind have given up on this world and moved on to the Umbra and the astral realms beyond, Sark feels compelled to stay. He knows very well that if humanity as a whole finds out others like him really exist, it will bring back the era of pitchfork and torch mobs again, only this time it will be nuclear weapons and tanks, so Sark has gotten very good at hiding and appearing non-threatening.
Sark has studied Prospect enough now to think he can try throwing his own weight around a little to compel humanity to treat itself better, but he knows big changes dont happen overnight, so he seeks out projects he can assist such as homeless shelters, humanitarian programs, and the like. If you're in trouble, he's quite likely going to try and help you. If you get to know him well enough that he can trust you, you have an ally of surprising capability, but keep in mind, the list of humans he has been able to trust so far, he can count on one clawed hand.
You will most likely see him as a young, barely-old-enough-to-drink blonde-haired man, because he knows most people will disregard a teenager as non-threatening and 'just a kid', and he likes that just fine, because he has seen from experience that how people treat those they don't think are important, is a good indicator of how they really are. Or you might see a red-tailed hawk pestering someone important to him, because how people treat animals is another good indicator of their nature. And in his case, someone is always watching and judging.
Are you a 'good guy'? Sark will probably like you. If you can tolerate his overabundance of energy. He might have a new addiction to espresso. And doughnuts.
