Sarah Stark

Sarah Stark is one of the two main protagonists of Wastes, along with her younger brother, Luke Stark. Unlike other protagonists in the Fireside Universe, Sarah dies traumatically in the finale of the Wastes series, and thus does not re-appear in Age of Reclamation or Age of Imagination. Too make up for this though, Sarah is the main protagonist of Wastes, with Luke acting more as a secondary protagonist.

Sarah is the daughter of Jack Stark and the great-great-granddaughter of Andrew Stark. She initially lives in Fireside City with her family, but due to an unexpected mass event, Sarah and her brother are placed in suspended animation by their father. They wake up one hundred years later in a world that is half-civilized and half-apocalyptic wasteland.

Due to specific experimentation performed by her father, Luke is the only person in the world capable of fully harnessing and using the Relics of the Old World, powerful technological devices that can be used for a variety of purposes, from things like exploring people memories to resurrecting the dead. While others can use these Relics, only Luke can unlock their full potential and combine them to create the Relic Armor. However, he can only find them with the assistance of Sarah and her mysterious Locket.

Wastes
Sarah and Luke awoke from suspended animation one hundred years in the future, and became involved in the political and militaristic battles of the Fireside Wasteland as they searched high and low for the Relics of the Old World. At the end of their Journey, the pair managed to collect all the relics but Sarah lost her life soon after, leaving Luke to lead global re-building efforts.
