His hair for the most part is silver, with few traces of the once blonde hair he had. His eyes are a sea green color with a hint of hazel noticeable at times. His everyday appearance has him wearing a plain white t-shirt, a pair of loose fitting work jeans and belt, and a pair of steel toed boots. When it's time to be put into action he switches his casual wear for a hooded gasmask, heavy gear that involves an armored tunic and leggings, and his prized flamethrower to burn down the opposition.

His quick temper gets the better of him at times which can lead to some awkward moments of him shouting for no real reason or grumbling to himself. While it isn't that good to have his outbursts in public, on the field he channels it to terrify the enemy as walls of flame spew in front of him.

He discovered his love of fire after his first camping trip with his father at the age of seven. How the flames flickered and danced into the sky fascinated him. When he got the chance he stole matches he could find just to watch that orange glow for the briefest of moments. In his teen years his pyromania got him into trouble even mistakenly setting a warehouse on fire. This landed him some time in prison but didn't stop his devotion to the coveted flame he enjoyed ever so much. As time moved on he grew up, working pretty much anywhere that had him working in flames before settling with a mechanic job. His life for years was that simply going to work and using the occasional blow torch that satisfied his love of fire. It was a simple life for him, all the while his sister became more of the brains of the family and his brother unfortunately became the outcast which broke any bond he and Gudluag had in their youth. When the war began he signed himself up for the army ready to fight the emperor and all those that supported it. When the Norwegian border was encroached upon Russian forces, the battalion he was part of never gave an inch fighting to protect their land. That day had him start with a sub machine gun but it ended with him picking up a flamethrower from a fallen soldier and burning any opposition that dared try to cross. He became captain of his own squad of men and led victory one after another. Eventually it must of caught someone's eye for he got invited to the Sentinel Program where he got his codename of Scorch. He continued on his way with new gear but the same tactic of using fire to drive forces back. Those were the good old days until the program shut down. He returned to being a mechanic but it was never the same as the glory days, and the occasional relapse of more disturbing moments of the war made him put down the tools. For a year he was a drunk until his sister knocked sense into him. He restarted his life and went into blacksmithing to the present day. Being asked to return to the Program was a dream come true and he dared not to refuse.[/indent] [color=maroon][b][u]Place of Origin[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Oslo, Norway[/indent] [color=maroon][b][u]Family[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Johannes Eirikson- His younger brother that he hates an believes him nothing more to be a no good lieing thief, which he is. Currently serving a few months in prison after being caught. Karin Eirikson- His younger sister. Currently lives a pretty much calm life back in Norway.[/indent] [color=maroon][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Fireball: Gudlaug shoots a ball of fire out of the flamethrower rather then just the usual spray of flame. This drains his ammo though faster then spraying does only able to do it twice before reloading. Mine: He places a mine on the ground that if the enemy steps over, explodes doing significant damage, the explosion also has a small radius so anyone else around it will get splash damage if they are close to it. Ignition Strike: His ultimate quite literally causes him to burst into flames as he lights a match and turns it on himself. His clothing is flame retardant luckily enough to allow this. Any enemy to close is sure to get burned. Not only that but he puts a mixture of napalm solution into his flamethrower and sprays it causing the area to which the fire lands to stay on fire for a short time and if lands on the enemy does more damage then the usual flamethrower does.
