Profile


The Pyrotechnician of the Builder's League United.

The arsonist is a Native American (Ojibwe) woman with heavy facial scarring and terrible social skills. She is a pyromaniac with scars to match. Physically she's a good bit stronger than the average person, and has fairly typical Native facial features, with the exception of her very blue eyes. Her hair is always an unfortunate thing to behold: it can be drawn as a shaggy crop or as a slightly less shaggy crop with a longer back that's pinned up (reference). Typically wears a green M-65 field jacket and jeans. Time period is anywhere from 1967-1972.

Scars:  Pyro's scars consume most of the left side of her face, resulting in her left eye stuck in a permanent squint and the eyebrow halfway burned off. This scar extends down her neck and onto her ear. If wearing a short-sleeved shirt, other burn scars are present--see the art references in the gallery for an approximation of these, but they aren't set in stone. Finally, she has two white lines of scar tissue across each palm, criss-crossed.

Brief background: History of social isolation that ultimately culminated in an accident that gave her PTSD and memory loss, along with badly healed scars. The arsonist is snarky, paranoid, and superstitious, but has given up on trying to outrun herself and is working on being a better person. Closed body language like narrowed eyes and hunched shoulders are common, but she is working on that, too, when she remembers.

The arsonist is the main character of There Is A Season, a four-part story set in the Team Fortress 2 universe.
