Lava

(Ignis)

Name: Wouldn't you like to know

Nickname: Lava

Appearance: Very tall. he stands proudly on 210cm | 6"11 ft. Skull and neck are white with dusted dark marks, near black. From his clavicles and down his bones become black, covered by a athletic build of bright orange and yellow ectobody, seeming molten lava itself.  Have dragon feet with three fingers and a talon. they are black on bone, but Lava often "protects" them with ecto aswell. The gloves he use are to protect others from his claws, hot as fire. they are thick like a smith's protection gloves. Chooses to wear black whenever he can. The corset-like vest is always on. A reminder of sorts. Maybe someday he tells you what it means to him.  His cape is on solely for more formal reunions, along with his golden leaf crown pin. They are family symbols. His scarf was a gift from Mikel. Don't touch it unless you want a very irate dragon.

His tail, wings and back are laced with tiger stripes in black. The tip of his horns may glow from time to time, and despite they having colors of fire, they aren't as hot as his ectobody can become. Lava is unnaturally warm being a fire dragon. His body might glow when he's angry. The freckle-like markings on his cheeks never glow, but they are very sensitive. 

His entire red, orange and yellow aesthetics clash against his oddly calming clear blue eyes. He have a curious spark on them, wishing to find anything in life that hinted to him of something new. Something more.

Bio: Lava is the only son on his family. At a very young age he witnessed his father being mistreated by his partner to point of physical abuse. Both his father and he were left broken when his 'mother' figure left the house in a police bag. His father found himself on the dyre need to defend himself and accidentaly killed his partner in self defense. Lava was eleven years old. He healed alone, trying to help his father to cope. Then, a friend of his father - one he called brother - had also divorced his wife, leaving his mother and cousin. His couisn was seven, and his mother too proud to propperly help the child. Lava decided to care for Mikel since then, and until now cares for his cousin's safety. Then he witnessed his best friend suffering through heart ache, being forgotten by his mate.  He tried to help Azu the best he could, being witnessed the same tragedy over and over again on his years on earth. 

Lava is an adult man whose heart is so scarred by love before even having the chance to fall in love himself. Perhaps due his skepticism about love, perhaps he's subconsciously always aware that love is as mortal as every living thing. Others more frail than others, but all of them doomed to die. He can't see it the same anymore witnessing so much destruction love had caused to others. Believes  that love can and will be used as a weapon, mainly against those who fall in love. The only two people the truly love are his cousin and his best friend. He quickly grow detached from other people, either consciously or not. Always running away from what he believes to be a hazard. Something that grows on you, make you dream, and believe and be happy - then rip your heart, your dreams and your happiness away. And you get to watch as it slowly rots away and decays in your hands. Scars way too deep to heal. Too deep to ignore.

Is rather nihilistic. Will be a sweetheart to you if he sees in you something worth of having near him. He can support, be friendly, be caring, be funny and laid back. Until "relationship", until "love" comes up. Then he'll get nervous and drop the convo, or try to change the subject. Also, touch his scarf and/or Mikel and you'll be bad enough not to be able to drag your sorry ass around for a few days.

Habilities: Fire dragon with a small earth link. Can control fire quite well, and enough to create lava, but can't control it.

Connections:

Cousin: Mikel! Always looking after his little cousin. Very protective.

Best friend: Azure! They hang whenever Azure is back on shore. They met once during Lava's accidental night shift, and became friends shortly after that. Lava is always waiting for his friend to bring news. Always with something to say himself.
