The shard
Where Ember comes from
The spark that left the kiln entirely — briefly the brightest thing in the room and then, very suddenly, not. Ember kept the whole of that: the flare, and the part immediately afterwards which most shards had the sense to leave behind.
How Ember races
Ember hits the first booster and detonates. For four seconds nothing on the track can live with it, places arrive in handfuls, and then the account is settled with exactly the same violence in the other direction. An Ember race is a firework: you are not really watching for the result, you are watching for the bang.
The full burn off the first boost box — and the four seconds afterwards, which are the same length and go the other way.
The voice
Hear Ember
“wi-wi-wi-wi-WHEEE!”
A firecracker fuse: five fast climbing squeaks and a whee off the top. Pick a mood and Ember says it that way.
In the race mix: G5, 784 Hz. Four notes climbing away. The fade plays the same four a semitone flat, which is the whole character in one gesture.
Rivalry
The Bill
Ember Racing teammates. One borrows enormously. One only works once it is broke.
Ember's four seconds end and the repayment begins, and the field comes back past it in a rush. Rust is somewhere near the bottom of that field, working hard for the only reason Rust ever works hard, which is that it is last. They pass each other going in opposite directions about twice a month, and neither of them is having a good time.
Neither can help it. Ember's power is a loan with fixed terms and Rust's is only ever issued in last place.
