Profile
Mahli (Salamander)
About
His real name is Mahli, but he is most commonly known as the Salamander due to his job and abilities.
Mahli is often found at the scenes of burning buildings, but not because he's responsible for it. Because of his resistance to flames, he's either hired, requested for, or simply appears at these blazes. However, many people avoid him due to his and his family's old connections with shady organizations. An accident caused by one of these organizations gave him the nickname "Salamander," since he survived the violent flames closing in on him like what was once thought about legendary salamanders...though not without injury.
"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."
Combat
Mahli uses his speed, small build and fire abilities to avoid contact from debris, or escape from opponents while maximizing damage.
Fire creation
Mahli can create and manipulate (to an extent) flames very close to him. It often comes from his tail, causing it to look like a large blaze. His ability also offers him moderate protection from his own flames, and some from external flames. He doesn't always have full control over his flames, particularly from his tail, which may combust with a swing of his mood. His body temperature is also higher than usual.
Turnout jacket/hoodie
Gives Mahli protection against strong flames and heat, with reflective material as trim.
Personality
Mahli is often aloof and seems almost protected, but his temper can flare as quickly as the flames he creates.
direct | hot-headed | prudent
His resting face may look angry even if he is completely calm. Because of this, others tend not to approach him unless they know him well.
Design Notes
- There are burn scars under the bandages and on his back, and his salamander tattoo is only on the back right leg.
- The rings on his tail and the blue strips on his jacket are reflective.
- He typically only wears the turnout jacket, as being fully covered often causes him to overheat.
Likes
- The cold
- Iced drinks
- Silence
Dislikes
- Overheating
- Burning bedding
- Reckless burning
Trivia
- He has relatively poor eyesight.
- He is likely to overheat if he uses his abilities in an extremely warm environment.
- He avoids easily flammable items when he sleeps in case his tail flares and catches something on fire.
