Here's what I have so far for my fire element character! I'd appreciate any feedback or thoughts on it :) Name: Drake Furon Element: Fire/heat element Age: 21 years old Race: Regrettably human Gender: Male Appearance: *Picture to be added soon* Character’s Build: Drake has a decent build for a young adult, with broad shoulders and evenly toned muscles which he gained from long hours of welding. He maintained his physique at home by wrestling with his younger brother. He’s usually sporting some dark facial scruff but never fully grows it out merely because of the slight fear he has of looking like an overgrown dwarf. Eye color: The inner ring surrounding his pupil is a soft earthy green that spans out into the outer blue that envelops the remainder of his iris. Hair color: His shaggy black hair has natural tints of red and dark brown. Skin color: Drake’s skin tone closely resembles the color of cinnamon which darkens each time flames cast shadows along his dark skin.. Height: 6’2 Scars: Drake has a scar from a knife wound on his shoulder. Wardrobe: He typically is very laid back with what he wears. He commonly is dressed in full length brown pants with a fitted white shirt, and a mid-length black dragon skin coat with deep pockets on the inside to carry his concealed weapons and tools. Nature: Drake is a quiet, even-tempered man by practice. Others oftentimes interpret his demeanor as stand-offish and hard, but he just prefers to mostly observe and keep to himself. His temper rarely flares, as it was stressed in his home to be collected at all times despite anger, but when there is what he deems injustice or excessive pride, his self-control is known to slip. He is truly a soft hearted individual who makes a valuable and loyal friend. Backstory: Drake was born into a prosperous family in Jeorva that also miraculously balanced a happy home life. He is the first born within his small family, made up of his parents and 13 year old little brother. He was raised to show respect to everyone and be cool tempered even in the most stressful situations, which he still struggles with today. After moving closer to the college in Jeorva, shortly after his 17th birthday, he worked in his father's metalwork shop to support himself. His hard work in the metalwork business paid off and allowed him to begin his own business. While working alongside his father, he found that he seemed to be drawn to the flames used to bend and shape the metal. He somehow felt a gentle pull from the flames, beckoning to him. Drake would generally ignore these feels being under the assumption that the heat was causing confusion and exhaustion. But that soon changed the night he discovered his ability to manipulate flames. When he was out late, Drake and some friends were attacked at knife point by a drunken man. His attacker lunged for him but only managed to gouge his shoulder (which later left a 3 inch scar covering the top of his shoulder). Drake, who was always quick on his feet, disarmed his assailant and retrieved the knife. Without intending to, he seized energy from a nearby street fire and struck his assailant. It was in this infinite moment that the realization of his connection to fire was made known to him. Astonished by this experience, he further explored his abilities by routinely attempting to control the fire instead of allowing it to control him. Through many years of vigorous training, he managed to gain better control over them. Goal: Drake wants to create a comfortable life for himself and his future family. He imagines himself living a happy life running his trade business with his brother and parents actively involved in his life. His ultimate goal is to eventually raise a family in a safe place where he wouldn’t fear for the lives of his future wife and children. Inventory: Switchblade Drake acquires this on his 18th birthday and is never seen without it. Tinderbox For obvious reasons, Drake carries this around to always have a source to power his element. Journal This is where he documents his triggers, boosts, and limitations that he discovers while building his control.
