[b]Background:[/b]
The Phoenix has no set story, varying from culture to culture. However, there is one universal constant binding together each story of the legendary bird. The bird is reborn from the ashes of itself. Many cultures equate the Pheonix to the sun, connecting the two together. While the overall picture changes, the underlying details remain the same. The truth is that the bird is indeed linked to the sun, just as the legends say.

Blessed by the stars themselves, the Phoenix is capable of both higher thought and speaking. Only a select few have heard its voice, as it has usually been silent. It has been vanquished in the past, having its ashes locked away and eventually destroyed to prevent it from arising once again. As a result, it has been absent from the modern world, until it has been summoned.

[b]Personality:[/b]
The bird is a creature of few words, rarely speaking. It is also highly cynical, tempered by thousands of years of existence. Further, it is also very grandiose, preferring awe-inspiring displays of power and imagery worthy of song and poem. This creates an interesting mixture, a soured temper with a need for the spectacular.

It also takes pleasure in both creating and destroying. It destroys what it considers the old and rusty, to replace with the new. It would rather live in a dystopia of destruction than a stagnant utopia.

[b]Class Skills:[/b]

Landscape Manipulation (Support, Anti-Army) C
It is capable of bursting out flames, ashing away trees, grass, animals, or otherwise anything in range that cannot handle the heat. The result of this is often scorched landscape, surrounded by massive wildfires.

Creation of Artifacts (Support, Offensive, Defensive) C++
It can create many artifacts based on fire, by siphoning off its own fiery power. This can range from a great lance capable of launching fireballs, to a shield that burns away anything that hits it. The unifying concept of all these artifacts are that they are fire-based.

[b]Personal Skills[/b]

Rising from the Dead (Support) A+
It is capable of arising from its own ashes, as long as there are enough ashes. Ashes that are locked away magically or otherwise destroyed weaken its new form, all the way to the point where there aren't enough ashes left to rise from the dead. It's generally hard to catch and seal away these ashes, making this an extremely potent power.

Inspiration (Support, Morale-Raising) B
It is capable of divine levels of imagery, inspiring those on its side greatly. This allows for the formation of armies that are incredibly hard to break. With the belief the sun itself is on their side, the soldiers will often fight to the death. On the other hand, it's only really useful once an army has been assembled, and is best used with obsolete military formations, where tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of men are in the same place.

Heat (Defensive) A
Due to the ambient heat of the Phoenix many traditional weapons and projectiles melt and burn upon contact, without harming the bird itself. Magical weapons are a different matter, however. This also goes both ways, as it can burn both allies and enemies.


[b]Noble Phantasms[/b]

Power of the Sun (Offensive) B
Capable of drawing upon the powers of the stars themselves, it can fire intense blasts of fire that burn away many, leaving naught but a shadow and the pungent odor of intense heat.

Wreath (Defensive) C
It is capable of drawing upon great amounts of fire, wreathing itself in a cocoon of flames that deflect all but the sturdiest of weapons and spells. The heat is so intense that everyone and everything in close proximity is often burnt away, no matter who's side they are on.

Speed of the Cinders (Support) B
Drawing upon the light of the sun, it is capable of high speeds, traveling across Judea in a matter of minutes. It is wreathed in the fire of burning atmosphere, burning everything in its path.
