Saturnan, the Spark Shooter, is Plasma Tempest from Cryos. He relies on electrical defenses to lower the damage done to him as much as possible.
Revelation[]
Saturnan was created when Prismod noticed that all the heroes appeared to be from seperate species. So he made a hero who shared species with another one of his heroes, in this case Arelle, the Brawling Bolt. Saturnan was also made to be an opposite to Arelle's offensive capabilities.
Weapons[]
Saturnan wields a gun in his right hand, it should resemble a Heckler & Koch sniper rifle with a blue fire pattern.

Lore[]
Like most members of his species, Saturnan faced strong prejudice throughout much of his life on Cryos. Limited to only a lowly job as a miner, the Feroxisapien still held out hope that society would accept him, so he worked hard no matter how long the hours were, how low the wage was, and how horrible the dark, dusty mines were; he worked to prove himself. One day Saturnan and a fellow miner found a strange black orb in the mine. It puffed out a dark cloud and at that moment Saturnan witnessed his friend turn into a deranged, blue-veined monstrosity. Quickly he fled past his mutating co-workers and out of the mine; he fled home to hide, for he knew this was the start of the supposed End of Days.
Within months Saturnan had barricaded himself in his decrepit apartment with other survivors. Food and water was already running short; someone had to go out in that war zone to get such scarce supplies. Only five volunteered to leave the apartment; among them was Saturnan. The group battled their way into the heart of the city, but were eventually ambushed by a pack of pyrachnids and a lightning juggernaut. As he laid on the road dying from his burns, his one final thought before blacking out was how he had not gotten to achieve anything great or be accepted despite his race.
When he awoke he found himself in a bed in a shiny metallic room; he wondered if this was the afterlife. Soon a giant being dressed in armor and a mask walked into the room, immediately Saturnan asked if he was dead or not. The giant answered that he was not deceased, and noted how the smaller humanoid did not notice the changes made to his body. Saturnan then looked at his hands, they were surging with blue glowing veins. The masked behemoth introduced himself as Ptyron and told his patient that his time for redemption and glory would now start. Over several months, Saturnan was trained into a skilled, deadly, and electrical assasin; he felt this was his calling and that killing off the Darkspore would become his accomplishment in life.
After one of his first missions, Saturnan returned to his apartment with food and water as he promised; what he would see would change him forever. Inside, the rooms and halls were drenched in blood, the corpses of many scattered throughout the building. Among the dead were Saturnan's mother and siblings. Saturnan's mind snapped. From that day he became a man transformed; he has since been much more efficient and serious, but at the same time cold, quiet, and grouchy. He no longer dreams of accomplishment and acceptence, the Spark Shooter now wants the entire hive mind to be annihilated at his hands for what he had lost during the war.
