[color=F7630C][b]Name:[/b][/color] Elijah “Eli” Phlogiston 

[color=F7630C][b]Age:[/b][/color] 18

[color=F7630C][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] The way Eli looks isn't all that remarkable. The only things that stand out are the odd bandages or scrapes on his face or arms - but for the people that know him well, it's not an uncommon sight. He has small almond shaped brown eyes and his hair is a muddy reddish brown in color, usually with a comb hastily run through it to no avail. He stands a 5'11'' (182cm), and his body frame is boxy. He is by no means an athlete but keeps in decent shape. His personal style favors function over form, but also includes a lot of comfortable clothing. 

[color=F7630C][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Even as a kid, Eli has always been described as down-to-earth. He is a straight forward kind of guy, prone to taking the path of least resistance. He isn't easily stirred to intense emotion, but is capable of displaying it if really pushed. Despite the easygoing nature, Eli does have an adventurous heart. His hobbies are hiking and urban exploration, as well as trying out new things. He isn't stubborn, but neither is he a quitter. He is just as likely to gradually chip away at something if he can't get it the first time as he is to drop it for a new approach or a new adventure. For the most part, Eli goes with the flow. He doesn't usually sweat the small stuff. 

With both friends and strangers he is casual and direct. He is an extrovert that feeds off of positive energy, so he does best in a group and usually seeks out companionship whenever he's alone. He is both trusting and trustworthy, accepting everyone as they are. One major thing about Eli is that he is clumsy or otherwise seems to have bad luck, which is why he's always covered in little nicks and bruises. He's also not particularly good with his hands, so dexterous tasks are beyond him. He has gotten pretty good with first aid though.

[color=F7630C][b]History:[/b][/color] Eli's life had been pretty average up until the camping trip with his friends. He grew up in a rinky-dink little house with just his mom - single parent, no siblings. They didn't have a lot of money, but they also didn't want for much either. 

It was a happy household for the most part, but with his mom working nights and himself in school during the day, Eli was left to his own devices for a lot of the time. He had to find something to do when he was alone, but instead of studying (he gets by fine with his grades as is, only really struggling with some maths and sciences) he took to trying to insert himself into as many different social circles as possible. The more friends, the more stuff he'd have to do so the less bored he would be! It was good in a lot of ways, he learned a lot and got used to talking with people of all stripes. He was hardly ever lonely either. But it also meant a lot of double booking, hurt feelings, peer pressure, and some close calls with more dangerous "friends." The only time he ever remembered his mom yelling at him was one day a police officer had dragged him back home with only a warning. 

After that Eli remained friendly with pretty much anyway, but he chose his actual friends a little more seriously. He filled his free time with other random hobbies and a lot of exploration. He'd pretty much memorized the routes of the city's few nature walks. He still never took his schooling seriously though.

Eventually he met a real interesting bunch that all bonded well together despite their differences, a group that he seemed to really click with. He'd pretty much never been happier, but now with graduation and everyone talking about going their separate ways for college, Eli was left questioning what his own plans were. He couldn't exactly tag along with someone... or could he? He had no idea what he wanted to do with himself. The one thing he does know is that he wants to spend as much time with his friends as possible while they're all still together.

[color=F7630C][b]Element:[/b][/color] Fire

[color=F7630C][b]Magical Form:[/b][/color] Eli transforms when a burst of colorful flames engulf him. When the fire stops he appears with his wounds and body fat burned away, in peak physical condition. His hair becomes slightly longer, spikier, and more deeply red while his eyes glow orange. He outfit he wears comes across as something a fictional, sensationalized martial would wear: dogi pants, slippers with a hard sole, a waist cloth, half vest, and impractically long scarf all in varying light and dark shades of red. The look is accented with bronze and gold bangles, belt cord, and stud earrings.

[color=F7630C][b]Weapon:[/b][/color]  A pair of tight leather-like finger-less gloves, deep mahogany in color. There are studs on the knuckles matching the bronze-gold accessories of his outfit, and the palms of each glove feature two different curious rich red symbols.

[color=F7630C][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] Eli can conjure flames in a variety of colors, temperatures, and sizes, and wreath himself in them without being harmed. The bigger the fire the more fuel it needs, using his stamina and breath. If he can't breathe, he can't burn. He can control existing fires of a non-magical nature, extinguishing them or making them dance. He can heat up his body in general, including on a cellular level to power up and move faster. Finally, Eli's abilities give him robust regenerative properties. As long as he doesn't take a fatal wound, he can burn energy to heal himself from even the most grievous of injuries. Like all his other abilities, the more severe the wound, the more energy the fire needs to heal it over by making it anew. Unknown if he can extend use of this healing factor on others.

[color=F7630C][b]Name:[/b][/color] Fenghuang 

[color=F7630C][b]Appearance:[/b][/color]  She takes the form of a small bird, more like a chick than anything, less than a foot tall. Her plumage is vibrantly colored in reds and oranges, with some feathery spots appearing iridescent. Though she is lacking in tail feathers, she still looks very regal. 

[color=F7630C][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Fenghuang wasn't surprised about being trapped in her current body, but seeing that it is a great inconvenience to her she is eager to get the boys to hurry up and finish their quest so she can get back to normal. On top of being pushy, she is stubborn and convinced that she is always right. Fenghuang was revered as one of the oldest and wisest sorceresses in the land, and she is not above throwing her experience and rank around to convince others that her way is best. Even if she's proven wrong, she will rarely ever admit it. She is quite a proud bird, and once she gets to know others she grows extremely protective of them.
