[@neogreggory][@Cruallassar][@Myr] And here's my little [s]sadistic[/s] [s]domineering[/s] perfectly friendly Fiery fire demon for you guys. I will clarify and answer/change anything that is needed!~ [hider=Najwa Attar] [center][img]https://safebooru.org//images/2199/f5ee12d7d04f89047778c513eb9709fddc52e3d3.jpg?2291414[/img][/center] [color=d76317][h3][center]"Oho...aren't you adorable, thinking you compare to me? I shall grace you with my name, human...you may call me Najwa. Make no mistake, I am a proud being from the few remaining Ifrit tribes and will suffer no insult at the hands of your kind. I however, am not as...domineering as my tribesmen, so I will tolerate your funny little presence so long as you remember your place. Do make it entertaining, hm?~"[/center][/h3][/color] [b]Name:[/b] Najwa Attar [b]Race:[/b] Ifrit [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] Naj stands at a fairly tall five foot ten, about the average height for men in some areas. Naj is also surprisingly light for her size and build. She has long black hair that falls to her back and by most standards would be considered to be quite attractive. Shapely legs, a fairy impressive hourglass shape that is free from any blemishes. She has bright green eyes and is often seen wearing a confident, somewhat smug smirk or knowing grin. Her skin is a lighter shade of bronze, suggesting some middle eastern origins. A few tattoos cross her facial area, noticeably under her eyes and forehead. Her clothing, most would find to be somewhat extravagant and luxurious looking. Light, soft silken fabrics adorn her upper body, with long tassels and adornments. Typically, green, gold, and white in color. Various expensive looking pieces of jewelry can typically be seen adorning her hands, neck and ankles. On her legs, she typically doesn't wear much. Stockings and comfortable to move in shoes, with only short pants covering her legs that do not extend past her thighs. A series of cloth belts and loops are the only other coverings on her legs. Oddly, she never seems to be cold, and the area around her seems to be around five degrees warmer, and a times little sparks of fire can be seen coming from her hair. She often smells of some spicy scent, to those within a foot or two of her and is uncomfortably warm to the touch. This however, is merely a human guise developed to help fit in with humans. [hider=Ifrit][img]https://safebooru.org//samples/2127/sample_4b5eebc3ab665d192d67a398d119f1d427a84425.jpg?2218360[/img] Naj is a young Ifrit, a creature born in ancient times of a devilish flame, and her actual appearance tends to strongly indicate her less than human and more demonic nature. Long, black hair falls from her head that never seems to settle and disappears into smokeless flame. Red colored demonic eyes with flame leaking from the edges of them watch the world curiously. Two massive gold colored horns jut from the side of her head, making a 'v' shape. Her arms and legs are made of a scale like material, and are adorned with sharp talons. A long sinuous tail extends from her backside, capable of being manipulated as easily as another arm. It should be noted, as a being made entirely of malleable fire this is merely the appearance she feels the most comfortable in. She however, has yet to 'earn her wings' so to speak, so she is currently incapable of manifesting her flame fully as her brethren might. [/hider] [b]Magic:[/b] N/A [b]Schools:[/b] N/A [b]Abilities:[/b] Ifrit's are always created with several innate abilities, though some do not always manifest until they are older and more powerful. Young ones such as Naj for example, can't manifest their ability for flight nor can they manipulate their flame to appear something that isn't at least human in some aspect. Still, even young ones boast some fairly powerful abilities once they have decent control over their abilities. Naj herself is young for an Ifrit and is not entirely fully capable of controlling or manifesting her ever growing flame and is one of the reasons she is at school - to learn more about humans in hopes the remaining Ifrits who wish, would develop a better relation with them and as to control her abilities much better. However, because of this they also are created with several weaknesses as well - specifically weakness to magic, and a clever mage could easily make use of this or force a magic contract of sorts onto them should they be beaten. Or perhaps, willingly or unwittingly enter into one. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Mundane Resistance[/i][/u] Most conventional weaponry made of steel, iron, or other things are well, fairly ineffective against Ifrit. While older ones boast complete immunity, Naj isn't quite there just yet. However, she does have quite a bit of resistance to normal weapons such as swords, guns, knives, unless they are possibly enchanted in some way. They will still damage her, but do not expect her to bleed - only spew fire from her wounds. If one could harm her physical shell enough with normal weapons, her flame wouldn't be able to sustain itself however, and be able to drain her strength. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Malleable Body[/i][/u] Naj is able to at least altar her appearance somewhat at will. While she can't take completely inhuman forms with her flame as of now, her flames are able to change shape ever so slightly to suit her tastes or what is needed. Facial features, eye color, height, body build, etc. Once her flame grows in strength however, it will actually be more difficult to maintain a more humanoid appearance. She will eventually default to more inhuman ones in private, as well as be able to take much more inhuman and likely more demonic looking forms. She is still fairly easy to identify in any form however - the area around her is noticeably warmer thanks to her flame, and small embers can sometimes be seen floating from her shell. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Infernal Strength[/i][/u] Rather oddly, or perhaps not so odd, despite being a physical manifestation of fire she is naturally much stronger than humans could be without the aid of magic. She is easily able to lift around 300lbs (136kgs) fairly easily without breaking a sweat, about the average human weight lifter. With her current strength, she could lift up to somewhere around 600lbs (276kgs) - around the average human strong man with great difficulty. So yes, she hits rather hard and would require some superhuman feats of strength to match her, or some sort of magically enhanced physical ability. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Infernal Fires[/i][/u] Rather expectedly, she has fairly good control over her own flame. She can't create flame from nothing, but rather can control any fire from her own soul as well as absorb most forms other flame, natural or magical in origin - so long as it isn't being directly manipulated by a mage more powerful than she. As a young Ifrit her fire is not extremely strong, nor does she have it in vast amounts. She can exhaust her own flame and weaken herself by expelling vast amounts of it. At times, it could look like she's manipulating wind as well, but she simply has full control over her own fire and is able to manipulate it as long as it's within a certain radius. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Infernal Winds[/i][/u] Fire and air typically go hand and hand, at least a little. While Ifrits are not by no means master of the element, they are born with a natural affinity for it. That said, most don't grow into this ability until long after gaining fairly decent control over their flame. Perhaps it's not wind at all, but rather manipulating their flame to create air currents to carry their own flame and to fly. Either way, while she can theoretically do something such as this she is far, far, from able to do this. [u][i]Soul of Flame: Mana languor[/i][/u] Unfortunately, for all her strengths she has nearly just as many weaknesses. While mundane, non magical weapons will almost always fail in effectiveness...magic of any sort will find itself being much more effective than they think. All Ifrit have the unfortunate side effect of being extremely weak to most forms of magic. As they are basically an incorporeal being made of nothing more than a soul and fire, Mana has a tendency to react much more potently against them. Ironically, Pyromancy would be the most effective form of fighting them - so long as the pyromancer is clearly stronger than the Ifrit. They could easily wrest control of the infernal creatures own flame from them, and either use it to bend the Ifrit to their will forcibly or extinguish its flame altogether. Even if they're not clearly stronger, an Ifrit can not control flame outside of the fires produced by its own body while a Pyromancer would likely be able too. Once the flame leaves the Ifrits body and control - the Pyromancer has just been given free ammo. The next most effective, would be Spirit magic. As a purely spiritual being their souls are large and quite...malleable. A strong enough spirit mage could easily use that to their advantage - going so far as to forcibly bind, seal, or force the Ifrit to serve them. This also holds true for most forms directly damaging magic. [b]Bio:[/b] Naj's history begins in the remnants of what was once the Middle Eastern countries, many years after the Divine War ripped the earth to shreds. But to gain a bit of understanding of Naj and her upbringing, you must understand what Ifrits are. In ancient texts, most are well known for being creatures of vengeance, cunning, strength, and trickery. Wicked, Ruthless, Evil and the most powerful sort of Djinn in existence in their ancient culture. Of course, there are exceptions and not all followed this rule. There are tales of them being benevolent, as well as believers in God. That said, when the Divine War began, many Ifrit tribes were the first to lead the charge against humans. Driven by their desire to dominate humans and bring them under their rule. As most Ifrits are resistant or downright immune to conventional weaponry due to their slightly incorporeal nature, and are only able to be contained or permanently harmed with magic. Most humans hardly stood a chance against a single one. Thankfully, Ifrits and their cousins never were large in number and a small group of decently skilled mages could take them down easily enough. Unfortunately, while they contained or destroyed ones fire, another was wreaking havoc elsewhere. Needless to say, during the war Ifrits caused much destruction and violence. Being killed by one was a blessing - those they took prisoner and hauled back as magically bound slaves was a fate no one wanted. By the end of the war, many humans that were left and mages wanted to nothing more than to eradicate these beings. Even to this day, the horrors some of the Ifrits put people through are recorded, though not well. In the final days of the war, the Ifrits retreated back underground to their lands and tribal dwellings, their already small numbers and tribes diminishing even further, to barely a handful left in number. Ifrits are not the type to have children easily. In fact, most are too proud to ever even consider the notion. After all, more Ifrits that exist mean more competition for power. Not to mention, there was no telling what exactly the child would even do. Young Ifrits were difficult to deal with. Often times, their fire was sometimes too difficult for them to deal with and at times could go out of control - and that would be something that could only bring Ire to them after the war. However, a council of the few remaining Ifrits left was held a number of years after the war. After their subsequent losses in the Divine war, either those fighting with the humans to protect them or those fighting to enslave and dominate, there simply weren't many of them left. So after some lengthy discussions (including a few fights and displays of power and dominance in their culture) and talk, they decided they would slowly raise their numbers. Eventually, Naj was 'born' some seventeen years ago. As all Ifrits are not physically born, but rather made of the same smokeless fire that they were birthed from initially. Typically by way of one Ifrit diminishing their own flame temporarily and using various ancient rituals to give the parted flame new life. Most, are indeed birthed fully grown. And just as some others feared, she had terrible control over her flame for most of the start of her life. Explosions, fiery tornadoes, sandstorms, and she even once blew up an entire dwelling. She had power though, that was for certain. Many feared what she might do with it, however. She spent most of her first few years attempting to get some semblance of control over her flame, and otherwise pursuing academic subjects. Math, history, and other similar things. Thankfully as time went on and after careful tutelage she was able to gain respectable control over her flame. That said, she still had incredibly far to go. Most however, agreed that it was perhaps time the Ifrits and their cousins came out of hiding. Test the waters to see what had become of the world, as traveling to the surface had been restricted for a time. After a bit of investigating, it was discovered someone was running a school for humans with the ability to use magic, as well as any creature that wished to attend. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity for both diplomacy as well as getting information about the world, they decided to send Naj to attend.
