"Well, if we're all going to introduce ourselves, then I might as well. I am Singed "The Great And Powerful" Strange! You may have heard of my many exploits of sciencing! However I must ask you all to hold your applause and shrieks of girlish delight." Singed told them. Then, turning his attention to one of the gargoyles, he marched up to it "and you! What did I tell you last time Steve!? Do not interrupt me with sounds of combat!" Using his tail, he sketched out a shape in air with lava. A few seconds later, it sprang to life in the form of a Turtle
"Hello!"
"Assistant Steve, take a note; this one goes on the list" he said the last word while giving said gargoyle a nasty point blank stink eye.
"Hello!"
"No you fool! Not that list, the other list!"
"Hello!"
"Of course not! You know how I feel about the color periwinkle! Maybe next year" Singed then noticed his hoard of Squirrels staring at him with their soulless eyes "well!? What are all of you waiting for!? Back in the box!" he commanded them, and just like that, the rabid beasts scampered back into the box. "Honestly, I shouldn't have to micromanage them like that. And don't think I didn't hear that Steve!" Singed bellowed, staring at a tree
Being both Fire and Water Type, the flames of the Arcanine would barely scratch him. Because of this, he decided to bear the brunt of his attacks. Charging at the other Fire Type, Kamina used his massive girth to force the other Pokemon to the ground. While the Arcanine couldn't do much damage to him, the reverse was also true; since his only offensive attacks were Fire Type, there wasn't much he could do to harm him. However, unlike the other Pokemon, Kamina wasn't alone. As long as he held the Arcanine, the others could damage it enough to end this fight. "I'll hold him here. Hurry, attack him!"
--- Tini
"Ma'am!? Do...do I really look like a woman?" Tini's father questioned
"Oh it's okay papa, Bonnie just has trouble telling what a person's gender is." Tini reassured his father. Then he leaned in closer to whisper to him (although everyone could still hear him) "in fact, when we first met she had to ask me if I was a boy or a girl."
"Oh, well that's reassuring" his father replied, no longer feeling threat to his masculinity. "But it's just so exciting to met my baby boy's little friends. Ohhhhh, come here!" he flew over the counter and scooped up his son, as well as Bonnie and Eralion into a big hug. Putting them back down, he rushed to get his camera. A few seconds later, he was posing the three of them; Bonnie and Eralion side by side, with Tini wrapped around them like a scarf "oh don't you three just look so precious!" He cooed as he took his pictures
"Gentlemen...behold!" Singed called out to his audience of exploding lava turtles, amidst the forest trees. "They said it couldn't be done, they called me insane...yet here I stand today. I have successfully crafted a home made megaphone out of only a beaver, some string, and a megaphone!" He cried out as he held aloft a megaphone with a beaver tied to it.
"Hello!" One of the countless Turtles greeted
"Well yes, I suppose it is time for the Q&A session. Alright then, ask away"
"Hello!"
"To be completely honest, it had more to do with budget issues then anything else"
"Hello!"
"Well of course it does! Why else would the beaver be such a vital component!? Quite an obvious answer, but still, it's good that we got it out of the way"
"Hello!"
"Ha! They wish. After how they slandered me, no amount of begging could convince me!"
"Hello!"
"Ah, now there's an excellent question! I was wondering if anyone would ask. Well you see, the reason is-" However he was cut off by the sounds of fighting. "Who dares interrupt my press confreres!? Clearly, this is a problem that only extreme violence can solve!" Turning back the the assembled Turtles, he spoke to them "my sincerest apologies, but it seems that I will have to cut this short." Grabbing his megaphone and a nearby box, he made his way to the sounds of combat. When he arrived, he saw gargoyles attacking some other creature. "I should have known! Those gargoyles are still after me. Well I'm prepared for them this time!" Pulling the lid off the box, Singed shouted "go my children, attack the winged vermin!" Rabid Squirrels rushed out of the box and to the phoenix "no you fools! The other winged vermin!" Pausing, the Squirrels, looked over at the gargoyles, and after a beat they pounce on them. Biting into their bodies.

Speed: C
Abilities:
~Air Render~ (Tier 1, Physical) The user punches forward with such force and speed that they generate a small wave of compressed air in front of them. The wave travels quickly, but has limited range and carries only the force of a strong punch. Hitting with the initial punch makes this a brutal combination attack, as the target feels the force of both the strong punch and is then carried back and damaged further by the ensuing air-wave.
~Chakra~ (Tier Two, Magical) The user enters a meditative state, channeling the regenerative forces of the ether around them into their body. The user completes their meditation feeling rejuvenated, healing themselves of minor wounds and clearing themselves of status ailments. This technique is not advised for use in battle unless the user is actively being protected by an ally or has found a great hiding spot, as it requires total focus and leaves the meditator completely defenseless while they attempt to channel the energy.
~Voidspeaker~ (Passive, Tier 1) Your character is in tune with their spiritual energies and is capable of communicating with ghosts, the undead, and other beings outside of the material plane. Most spirits will only linger momentarily after their bodies are slain, but if a spirit has reason to remain in the material plane, your character will detect their presence and be able to hear their words. Spirits that have left the material plane will need to be summoned by a spirit medium or a summoner.
Personality: Chapel is a good guy, and that's not just his broad moral affiliation, it's his entire character. He's compassionate, loves to help others, hate's to see people in pain, ect. Despite having a body trained to straight murder folks yo, he's a martial pacifist. So while he doesn't like to fight and prefers to solve problems with words, once he feels he has no choice but to fight, he will fight
Backstory: baby Chapel was found by a group of Monks, along with his dying mother. Before passing on, she entrusted her only child to them. The Monks took the baby back to their monastery, to raise him as one of them. Chapel spent his entire childhood and teenage years within the monastery, learning the Monk's ways. While fighting had always scared him, the other Monks assured him that it was a good thing; Because if he really disliked fighting that much, then it meant that he would never use his powers to abuse the weak.
Despite having a happy life at the monastery, Chapel always wondered what the outside world was like. He kept his dreams of exploring the lands beyond the monastery quiet though, to avoid offending the people who took him in and raised him, however they could easily tell what was on his mind. Now that he was an adult, the Monks thought it time for him to make his own place in the world, and sent him off. However, they made sure that he knew that he would always have a home there.
Name: Singed Strange Age: 39 Gender: Male Species: Dragon
Bio: Based on his appearance, one would assume that Singed was some sort of brutal monster, one with little brain mass who fought every chance he got. This would be wrong. He is, however fucking nuts. For his entire life, Singed had always been a special child. One that would have made for prime bully fodder...if the bullies weren't terrified of him. One of the first really blatant signs of his insanity was his inability to remember the names of anyone, and instead choosing to call people either by their title, or Steve (for males) and Jenny (for females). Now you would think, you'd really think that with a mind this messed up, he clearly had to come from a broken family, but nope. His family was mind numbingly normal. Worried about their poor insane son, Singed's parents took him to counseling. Not even five minutes later, the therapist ran out of the room screaming. To this day, no one is entirely sure what happened in that room. And so, Singed's childhood continued without any attempts to 'fix' it, mostly because he had been blacklisted from every psychiatric facility
Despite having a natural affinity for Lava magic because of his heritage, Singed ignored it in favor of Obscurity, because, in his words, it would make him one step closer to godhood. Using his affinity for Lava magic with Obscurity magic lead to some rather unique results. Which the general public still hasn't decided if it is a crime against nature, or just mind numbingly weird. As scary as he was, Singed wasn't violent at all. In fact, nothing short of an attack on his person could get him to respond with violence. This was the sole reason why he hadn't been locked up for public safety.
Singed spent most of his life learning how to use his Obscurity magic, neglecting his Lava magic training in the process. This has left his skill with his natural magic nearly nonexistent. His many experiments have also left his neighborhood deathly afraid of corn. He insists that he's a scientist, yet he doesn't act like one. all of his experiments seem to have no greater purpose, and in fact look more like some who's board just messing around. While one might jump to the conclusion that these 'experiments' are just a front to hurt people, said argument would quickly fall apart upon learning that Singed's most request test subject is himself. He might be crazy, but he's still harmless enough to leave alone. If anything, he makes the neighborhood safer. Not many are willing to rob someone who's so close to that crazy guy and his corn...not after the last one.
One of his more crazy forms of crazy is his talking to inanimate object. He will sometimes have complete conversations with them, and sometimes even get into arguments with them. This can lead him to destroying said object over whatever insult he believes it gave him. In fact, he once tried to torture a garden gnome, because he thought it was a forward scout for the cookie elf branch of the Candyland army. He tried all sorts of things; from locking it into a box, to locking it into a box with the corn, to playing good cop bad cop with Turtle, to exposing him to music by teenage artists, yet nothing worked. Eventually, he realized he wouldn't be getting information out of him. So while he greatly respected him, Steve the elf/gnome died hot lava. After that, Singed found the Candyland army's forward base (a small patch of plants growing near Magma) and killed all of them with corn and spiders.
Even though he was full blown crazy, his parents never resented Singed for that. If anything, they were more worried about him then their own reputation. This was something that Singed easily took notice of, so he still retains a healthy relationship with them to this day. Despite never having any sort of official job, Singed always seemed to have enough money to feed himself. Singed being Singed, no one was brave enough to ask him where he kept getting money. If someone did work up the nerve to ask him what he was doing with his time, he would answer with something along the lines of 'unlocking the secrets of the world' although he wouldn't go into detail about just what that entailed. Eventually one day, he packed up his things and left his life long home of Magma. When asked where he was going and why, Singed would simply reply by calling whoever asked an ignorant fool and go about his business.
Elements; Lava/Obscurity
Corn: Singed's favorite ability. drawing a 3D image of a small pile of corn with lava. This drawing will then change into an actual pile of corn. Singed can then order the corn to either 'feast' or 'mate'. What difference there is between these two orders (if any) is unknown, but they make the corn shoot at the target and burrow into them. Once inside, the corn will begin to expel lava.
Turtle: By drawing a 3D image of a turtle with lava, Singed brings to life a cute and friendly little turtle. Once stepped on however, the turtle will quickly say 'hello' before exploding into a plume of lava
Squirrel: By drawing a 3D image of a squirrel with lava, Singed brings to life a fluffy squirrel...who will turn into a rabid monster on command. Once he has ordered it to, the squirrel will maul it's target, it's eyes red, and breathing lava.
Spider: By drawing a 3D image of a spider with lava, Singed brings to life a tiny spider...that shoots out lava instead of string.
Mundane object creation: Singed can also use his Obscurity magic to make more mundane things. However, he can't make anything to mechanically complex that he hasn't made a special spell for.
Weaknesses: His elemental weakness is Ice, however his other weaknesses are much more note worthy. They include, but aren't limited to; the number four, butter, orchestral music, getting stabbed in the eye, foreigners (sometimes), being killed, and bubbles.
