7?

7. Do you have any physical ailments and if so, how have they impacted you? Have they weakened you or strengthened you? Were you created with these ailments or were they forced upon you?

When damage is inflicted to the spark chamber, death is usually not long after. When the spark itself is even moderately damaged, it snuffs out almost immediately. Mine was nearly split in two by a well-aimed strike. Surviving that was not meant to be possible. As such, my recovery has not gone without consequence. Feeling certain things like anger too intensely puts a strain on my core, and I’m a bit more prone to overheating than I once was.

Even so, I do not count this as a weakness. To allow myself to recover, I have had to learn to maintain a sense of calm. I’ve been able to think more clearly than I have since the war’s inception. (grin) In a way, I’m more dangerous than ever.

However… there are other choices that I made that I am yet paying for, too.
