RELATIONSHIPS

Misha Misha was a young child that he met when he was 21 who was living on the streets after having lost his Nana, his last living family member. After being continuously hounded by him, Adrian relented and let the child travel with him under the promise that he would be able to keep up. Over the next few years he grew attached, seeing him as a son he didn't really ask for. However, Adrian had to steal a lot more frequently to provide enough food for the both of them, attracting the attention of the kingdom's guard. A search was eventually put out for Adrian's capture and arrest, and eventually they were found and Misha was taken away from him. He managed to escape, leaving him Wanted for capture in Perovskia. He harbors animosity toward the kingdom and its rulers to this day. Misha's status is currently unknown.


Formerly human, Adrian has been cursed since the age of 12. He used to live with a large, extended family of pyrokinetics on the outskirts of a moderately wealthy kingdom known as Perovskia. He ran away from home following the curse- which was cast on him via an item he stole from the black market- for fear of being persecuted by his family for his new, terrifying appearance. A few months later he was eventually forced to return, only to find that his family was gone. The status of his family is currently unknown.

Adrian lived on the streets of the kingdom for a few years, doing what he could to get by. Taking up odd jobs was nearly impossible due to his new form, though sometimes people would take him in on occasion. However, due to the unfamiliarity of the extent of the new abilities his shift in biology had granted him, Adrian's pyrokinesis was unstable for many years, leaving him unfit to work in places he could unintentionally destroy by burning to the ground. His misfortunes turned into deep bitterness for the place he once called home as he wandered further and further away, toward the forest lining the kingdom and the desert beyond, where he lives now.

On the surface, he seems very irritable. He has a difficult time trusting people due to prior experiences, and holds a particular animosity toward royalty of any kind. He absolutely hates magic and does not trust anyone who practices it. He has a soft spot for children and has a big heart beneath his veneer of roughness and attitude.

POWERS
  • PYROKINESIS Has the ability to control existing flames and conjure them. He is resistant to extremely high temperatures.
  • TRANSFIGURATION Mild trans-formative powers. Cannot change into the appearance of someone else, but can alter his own appearance at will. (IE changing the size of his wings or removing them altogether). Other minor changes include the length and sharpness of his fingers and toes, as well as making his appearance overall more bug-like. Antennae and second pair of arms are permanent, and he has yet to learn how to hide them, if possible. [X]
  • FLIGHT Has the ability to fly using wings that manifest at will. Stamina required to fly is great, and he can only fly for short distances at a relatively low altitude. Ability to fly farther for longer has improved over time, as during the first few years of transformation he could not fly at all. [X]
  • SENSE Antennae are super sensitive and are able to detect minute vibrations in the air, as well as certain pheromones. He can’t smell with them, exactly, but like most insects they enable him to see very well in the dark. Unlike an insect, eyesight is normal; having antennae gives a sort of night vision, much like a cat using its whiskers for navigation in the darkness.
  • SPEED/AGILITY Lacking in any sort of super human strength, yet gained the ability to run faster and jump higher than any human can. Reflexes also heightened. [See: Sense]
WEAKNESSES
  • WATER Minor contact with water results in sluggishness. Any further amount of contact can potentially make him ill and unable to use his pyrokinesis. If left unchecked, prolonged exposure can be fatal.
  • COLD Similar to water, low/freezing temperatures can lead to bringing down his core temperature to the point where his abilities are suppressed due to his altered makeup. Prolonged exposure can lead to illness or fatality.
  • SENSITIVE Wings and antennae are incredibly sensitive. Wings are coated in small scales that aid in aerodynamics. Removal of scales is not fatal, but wings can be easily damaged if not handled carefully. Generally keeps them hidden when not in use for this reason. Antennae are less fragile but still very sensitive and can easily be damaged.
  • DIET No longer able to consume meat. Strictly vegetarian. Listed as a weakness due to the difficulty in which he is able to find food due to this, thanks to his desert home. Frequently forced to resort to thievery or foraging in the forests for food.
ABILITIES
  • AMBIDEXTROUS In the most literal sense, the ability to control and use any of his four arms for any task.
  • SURVIVAL Knowledgeable in basic survival skills, including the ability to construct a livable shelter in nearly any environment.
  • SWINDLER Master of charm and fake smiles, he can distract his quarry long enough to take what he was after and leave before they were any the wiser. Prefers to take from thieves that pass through the desert, often ones that have already stolen from him before.
