About
Firecrackers likes cursing even more than Sparky does. It's better when he's directly speaking to you; he would only stick a lot of middle fingers at you. But when he's texting, you can expect a curse every sentence. He also likes telling jokes. When he's not telling jokes, he's reading jokes from joke books.
His dad runs a little grocery store, and he often manned it for them during his spare time. His mom was missing, and his dad won't tell him where she is.
He was drafted into the army during the Fantoni invasion despite his muteness, because he didn't have a disability certificate given out by a hospital that can prove it. He was killed during battle by one of the spells Qibli sold to Fanton.

Relationships
Sparky (friend)
What's the difference between their cursing? Sparky does it unconsciously; she treats curses like like normal words. But Firecrackers curses intentionally, just to piss people off.
Sparky had always whether intentionally or unintentionally tried to offer Firecrackers money, be it spare change or buying a lot of stuff at his parents' store, for which they need to pay Starcorp rent. Sparky had tried and failed to convince Peacock to lower rent for Firecrackers specifically.
Qibli (friend)
Firecrackers and Qibli met because they got assigned to sit next to each other. Jam made the whole class learn sign language to understand Firecrackers, and while other people are still grasping it, Qibli could do well in translating the signs to them.
Sky (friend)
At first, Sky was annoyed that he had to learn sign language to understand Firecrackers, and insisted that he just doesn't have to listen to Firecrackers. But then he realized he was missing out on all the jokes Firecrackers told, and with that Sky warmed up to him.
Pinecone (mother)
Firecrackers barely remembered Pinecone, as she was gone when he was 6, and hasn't contacted him since. He might as well not have a mother. His sister convinced him that Pinecone was in jail.
Trivia
- Firecrackers is mute, if you haven't noticed.
- If he had a lusus, it would be a golden retriever.
