It is just a picture to help with visualization.[/sub] [color=f7941d]Name[/color] Ciara Smith [color=f7941d]Age[/color] 16 [color=f7941d]Gender[/color] Female [color=f7941d]Ethnicity[/color] Irish [color=f7941d]Height[/color] 5’0” (little over 152 cm) [color=f7941d]Weight[/color] 124 lbs. (56.3 kg) ------- [color=f7941d]Mutant's Mark [/color] Ciara’s whole body is her mutant mark. [color=f7941d]Appearance[/color] Ciara’s mother described her to be living fire, both in its best and worst form. Overall her shape is human with a thin and light build. But that’s where her human similarities seem to end. Her hair seems to be a pixie cut most of the time but lengthens when angry. At her default mood, her skin is primarily black. There are yellow and red magma veins running over the cracks on the surface. These lines give off a faint glow in the darkness. Her hair is lazy smoke rising and appears to be a short cut. Her pupils and irises are the same color, being a bright yellow. The eyeballs themselves are a deep red. Her ears curve into forked pointed fashion, attaching the bottom to her jawline. Large patches of her body are a slight off black in color, every single one a scar from her abusive past. At her angriest, Ciara’s fire engulfs her whole body and burns everything away. She still retains a human-like appearance, but it’s more like a living flame than blood and flesh. Her veins seeming to hold no blood at all when she bleeds. It still weakens her when she is hit and suffers damage. Her usual outfit are on practical and traditional unless she’s working in the forge. When traveling, she’ll wear plain white and brown dresses that fall down to her feet. They are firm fitting to her body enabling mobility as she works. On her feet are well worn and second hand down boots. In the forge, she switches out her dress for a tunic and breeches. Often she’s covered in soot due to her fire element. [color=f7941d]Personality[/color] 🔥Short Temper: Ciara has a short, Irish temper like her father. It doesn’t take much to get her started, but she quickly burns out. She doesn’t hold a grudge against others. She struggles the most with this negative trait of her personality since it’s not hard to get her riled up. 🔥 Mask: Ciara doesn’t let her sorrow or pain show past her demeanor. She tries to be an assertive and strong type, but it’s not easy. Especially when trying to do it every day. Most know her to be a bundle of energy and a little moody. 🔥Craving Normalcy: Ciara wishes she could have a normal life and carving the simple things. So any time she can practice or receive it, she is grateful. Even if she doesn't say so. There is a small acknowledgment at the back of her brain that she knows it won’t last. 🔥Emotional: Ciara’s emotional state can flip between hot and calm rather easily. She can burn hot and fast one moment, then chill the next one. Most describe personality as being extrovert since her emotions affect her drastically. When she’s angry to sad, you can easily tell it based on her reactions. ------- [color=f7941d]Everyday Skills[/color] 🔥Cooking: Ciara has a pretty good cooking skill and improved by the academy. With each meal, she puts great pride in it. It shows since she’s made many simple, but delicious meals. Her favorite dishes happen to be spicy or roasted. 🔥Cleaning: Being heavily independent, Ciara has learned to keep a certain level of cleanliness with her things. This includes the forge, kitchen, and her own room. Sometimes she’ll help others for a small fee or favor. 🔥Basic Sewing: After flaming her clothing so many times, Ciara has learned to make her own clothing. Else she would be running naked around the academy for everyone to see. 🔥Black Smithing: Ciara did gain some basics in blacksmithing when her father made her help him around the shop. At this point, she’s still a very young apprentice, but her skills are edging to a craftsman. In the following years, she has learned to make lots of things. From common tools like nails and horseshoes to weapons like arrowheads and swords. She takes great pride in this. 🔥Basic Survival Skills: She has a basic idea of how to survive in woodlands, snowy landscapes, and deserts. Granted, she will admit she needs help in remembering the information. 🔥Basic Reading, Writing, and Math: All students learned this, but Ciara never enjoyed the math part. She needs others to double-check her addition or subtraction because the numbers are rarely right. [color=f7941d]Combat Skills[/color] 🔥 Close Quarter Combat: Thanks to the teachers at the school, Ciara has learned a style that fits her. It mixes martial arts, common brawling, and her fire traits into an offensive style. [color=f7941d]Equipment[/color] 🔥Leather satchel: Large over the shoulder bag for carrying things. 🔥Sewing Kit: Bone needles, catgut thread, and other equipment to patch up rips and tears in clothing. In emergencies, it can be used to stitch up wounds. 🔥2-3 sets of similar clothing: A precaution since her temper can get out of control and result in unwanted exposure. Ciara might not be ashamed of her body, but she’s not the type to flash everyone her goods. 🔥Blacksmith set: A simple hammer, pliers, and few other hand tools for any smithing occasion. ------ [color=f7941d]Powers[/color] 🔥Creation of Fire: Ciara is a human embodiment of fire thus enabling her to create her own fire. She stores inside until she calls it forth with her fire manipulation. As a result, her body temperature on average is hotter. Her surface ranges from a heated stone to produce flames strong enough to make 3rd-degree burns on contact. She is not harmed by outside sources of fire. She can touch, walkthrough, and stand in open flames without it affecting her. 🔥Fire Manipulation: Using the fire she creates and expels, Ciara can mold it into any shape or direct it however she wishes. The fire bends to her whims to a certain limit. She often uses her hand gestures to direct her flames than her mind since the latter is more difficult. She can also increase or decrease the power of a flame by focusing her emotions into it. Emotions like anger and happiness will result in a flame growing stronger. Emotions like fear or sorrow will shrink them, eventually dying out. [color=f7941d]Weaknesses[/color] Creation of Fire 🔥Water on her skin is like acid. It both damages and prevents the fire from sparking until dried. Submerging or drowning her in large amounts could possibly kill her. 🔥Extreme cold drains away her energy, leaving her weak and tired. This will put her to sleep if she can’t manage to keep warm. Weather can cause her to expand her energy more than usual which means she burns out faster than normal. 🔥Preventing Ciara from getting air will cause her fires to shrink and fade. Naturally, after so long, she’ll pass out like a fire snuffed out by being under a glass jar. Fire manipulation 🔥 Ciara can only manipulate her own fire, not outside sources. This means any fires that aren’t sourced from her, can’t be stopped or redirected in any fashion. 🔥Fires sourced from Ciara are connected to her. Influenced by her status, meaning if Ciara is put down (knocked out or massively hurt) then her fires instantly burn out. 🔥Ciara needs to keep her emotions in check. Too much anger or fear could cause a wildfire to break out and cause serious amounts of collateral damage until she can get it back under control. With the lower end emotions, she finds it hard to get her fires to build quickly or at all. 🔥Even though she can manipulate it, fire is still fire. It will burn an ally or foe if they come into contact with it. She can not stop that. Trust Issues 🔥Ciara doesn’t like opening up to others. She won’t share her personal struggles with her emotions or issues, causing her to put them off over and over. This can create issues much later down the road with her abilities. Even emotional outbursts. Fears 🔥She doesn’t like to feel weak or get pity from them, even when she has gotten close to them. It’s painful to consider how they might see her and how it might not match up to the strong image she wants to show. So she seeks out isolation during these times, but she doesn’t understand how to resolve these issues due to her past. Quick to Burn, Fast to Burnout 🔥Ciara’s emotions are fast to spark and heat up, but they burn out fairly quickly. This means there are lulls when she uses her fire abilities in combat as she needs to build things back up. These leave her open to attack if she's not careful or overuses her fire ability in combat. Not Immortal 🔥 While fire can't affect her, Ciara isn't immune to damage from blades, arrows, and other weapons. She can still feel pain and suffer even if the weapon isn't immune to the fire.
