Name - James Natchgale

Alias - Scourge

Age - 20

Sponsor - Red Tornado

Personality - Kind, Charismatic, Happy

Powers - Fire manifestation and manipulation as well as smoke manipulation. He can also raise his body temperatures close to supernova with no harm to his own body other than physical exhaustion (the hotter his body gets the more exhausted he gets he is prone to bad fevers when physically exhausted from this ability). Can also absorb flames into his body though this will also cause his body temp to rise resulting similarly to the above complicating.

Weaknesses - Water is an obvious weakness, with his raised average temperature being introduced to the cold to quickly will put his body into shock. Also anything that kills or injures a normal human kills and injured him other than fire and breathing in smoke (his lungs are used to breathing it in)

BRIEF Bio - James grew up in a normal home, though when his powers first started developing he used that fact that he could raise his body temp to his advantage, often using it skip school. Though as more of his abilities began to surface his body began to inexplicably smoke or catch fire. This, of course, caused him to drop out of school all together though it didn't effect him much as he was at the top of his class anyway. James went into Firemen training after gaining control of his ability and after landing a job as a fireman he secretly used his ability to subside or even completely put out the fire, depending on the intensity of the flame.

Sample Post - It was a normal day at the fire station, a couple small house fires but nothing that one or two men couldn't handle. Those at the station had settle down into a game of Texas Hold-em. Either that or they were idly chatting on the sofas around the lounge area. Nothing to interesting had happened in the past week or so, giving the men and women who worked at the station a nice break. 

The calm of the station lasted until about half past midnight. It was then the alarms sounded, signaling an all hands fire. The once calm station burst into a bustle of bodies and noise as they set to the tasks they were assigned to. The loud speaker blared announcing what they were dealing with. A lab fire on the outskirts of town. It seemed the fire had started from a small burner being knocked over but with the amount of chemicals that had been used in the room, everything caught quicker than they could stop it. 

The preparations ended and they headed out to the lab. They arrived there quickly and they unloaded, quickly getting to work. They found that several people had been trapped in the building so a team was assigned to go in a get them. Within this team was James. 

Heading into the building he and two other men split up to find those trapped inside. James found a pair of researchers in a matter of minutes. He turned to head out of the room with them but the ceiling collapsed in front of them. James, being in the front, took the brunt of the flames that shot up at them from the falling debris. Taking no notice to the flames that burned his suit he turned to look for the closest exit, this being a window, though only the two small researchers could fit through it, he was a little to big to get through. Smashing the window he prompted the two to exit, and only after that had gone did he start using his ability. After a moment he managed to clear the debris from the doorway and head out. 

When he exited the building he heard hollers about something explosive. And a couple of the others on his team mention not being able to put the fire out before it exploded. Grunting he used his power, to reduce the flame no nothing but a small smolder easily put out. 

After vigorous questioning he was brought to the attention of the Justice League, where Red Tornado had decided to sponsor him, though at first James had little knowledge of this. It wasn't until a week or so later that the Tornado himself came to speak to him. Explaining the situation, and how he was now sponsored by him.
