Character

General

Burning Passion is a skilled synthesist from Radz-at-Han, the Near East. A savant in the art of all forms of synthesis, he is always more than willing to help others who may lack his own personal expertise. Through his prodigal skills with synthesis, he has also developed a strong knack for various forms of magic, though his favorite is Thaumaturgy and Black Magic.

Appearance

Burning is a Roegadyn and, as such is a very large, very stocky individual. He has darkly tanned skin and vibrant red hair with golden highlights, looking as if to resemble fire itself. He has four parallel scars over his left eye and nose, shaped like they came from a set of claws. He is shorter than most Roegadyn, but also lighter on his feet.

Behavior

Burning is a kind and compassionate soul, though rather quiet. He is very shy around those who do not share his interests and it takes a long time for him to warm up to people. But for those he is close to, he is a beacon of good spirits and optimism. He does not handle verbal conflict well, preferring to shy away from such arguments, and instead preferring to be in the company of people who are, at the very least, visibly happy.

He is a perfectionist and is stubborn to a fault, seeing giving up as the ultimate failure, and seeing any failure at all--even in areas he has weaknesses in--as a reflection of his own self-worth. Constant failure can cause Burning's once bright demeanor to grow dark and depressive, especially if the failure is his own. Despite his lack of patience with himself, he has plenty of it when aiding others with their endeavors, filling the role of the teacher quite well.

Combat

General

Burning's magical prowess is 80% Natural Talent and 20% Training and Combat Experience, and as such is oftentimes overconfident in his own personal capabilities with magic. While he is naturally gifted (though not very experienced) in all forms of magic, his preferential form is that of Thaumaturgy and Black Magic, due to its nature of reliance of self and one's own willpower rather than of nature, of the Arcane Geometry, or of the Stars.

History/Timeline

Burning was born and raised in Radz-at-Han in Thavnair. He discovered his talents for synthetic magic from a very young age and honed them as well as possible under the tutelage of some of Radz-at-Han's finest scholars, some of whom taught him the arts of thaumaturgy.

A few years ago, he had heard of the myriad of guilds in Eorzea who are masters of synthetic magic of a multitude of varieties and, out of an eagerness to study, he set off for Eorzea. Once there, he trained under the various masters of synthetic magic, though his time studying at each guild of craftsmen was short-lived due to his natural aptitude. He even dabbled with the various magical guilds, learning about aether and how each school of magic manipulated it. He was quite enamored with thaumaturgy and trained there extensively, and to the guildmasters' great surprise, Burning had somehow managed to grasp at the great power of Black Magic without the use of a Soulstone. Though his control over such power was strained due to this missing element. It was, in fact, Burning himself who crafted a Black Soulstone through his own prodigal skills with synthesis, which optimized his potential growth with Black Magic.

To this day, Burning seeks to further his knowledge of the arcane and test his power against all obstacles, pushing his boundaries further and further still.
