Race: Basan

Abilities: Joseph is able to use "Ghost fire", a special type of fire that does not burn or produce heat the way normal flames do. It is extremely precise and orderly (only burning the selected target), can not be seen by most eyes, and produces no heat whatsoever, making it extremely effective when catching enemies off guard, though like a normal fire it can be extinguished by the same things such as water or high speed winds. Another special ability that he poses is invisibility, though this most often only affects humans, some half-humans who are weak against magic can also fall victim to this ability.

Strengths/Weaknesses: When in normal human form Joseph is mostly a one trick pony, and is unable to use his invisibility, though his flames are just as powerful as if he was in his Yokia form. The major side effect to using "Ghost fire" while in human form is that it leaves him extremely tired and cold, so much so that he may end up unable to move, the only way to prevent this is the consumption of coal, charcoal, or chard wood. While in his Yokai form he is able to use both of his abilities to their fullest without the major side effects of his human form (though he still needs to feed on coal or other flammable objects occasionally). When he is in his Yokai form he does have the ability to use his sharp talons (able to cut through steal with enough force) to attack enemies as a last resort, but it isn't exactly an effective strategy due to its ability to leave him stuck and unable to move, and the awkward maneuvers he would have to preform in order to even attack with them. Lastly, though he is not completely immune to fire, his body is extremely resistant to it, often able to survive in temperatures three times that of a normal human, and is unable to survive in cold environments (anything below freezing temperature has a high chance of killing him).

Bio: Joseph never knew his real parents, and thus was raised by a small time king pin based in New York, named Tino Richardson. His father from what Joseph understood, was a close friend of Tino, and felt that he could be trusted. Though Tino often used Joseph's abilities for malicious gain, they grew a strong bond, sadly though being the person Tino was it wasn't a lasting relationship. At the age of eighteen Tino went missing and was later presumed dead. Soon after Joseph quickly gathered what little money he could from Tino's home, and quickly left New York City. After years of constantly traveling, Joseph eventually stumbled across The Landlord, who offered him a home in exchange for his services as a bodyguard. Having little else left for him in the world Joseph accepted, hoping to finally have found a new home. 

Other: He often wears multiple lairs of clothing even in warm temperatures
