[BARRACUDA] (Scytair)

They / Them



Masterlist Entry!

Barracuda is an eccentric Scytair with a very, VERY apparent love for fire. They enjoy setting things alight and then watching them go up in flames, living for the unrestrained chaos and destruction of a spreading inferno... It makes them feel alive in a way nothing else comes close to. Unfortunately, most people don't share this appreciation for widespread arson, and they've probably gotten in trouble for this little habit numerous times. Aside from that, on a more legal note, they're a bit of a DJ and love to make dubstep music; the loud and obnoxious kind that'll probably hurt your ears if you listen to it for too long. In general they're just a very loud, excitable person and they love meeting new people, but often don't have a concept of "personal space" until it's THEIR space being invaded. They're very affectionate, especially with friends, but they get uneasy if anyone messes with their mask. They won't explain it to strangers, but close friends know it has to do with an incident from their past that left their face badly burned. They simply feel more comfortable wearing it.

Unfortunately for anyone against Barra's burning habits, they have the ability to use their fingertips like a match and strike a fire anywhere they choose by swiping against a dry, rough surface. Arson is so much easier when you don't need to buy matches or anything. They'd use the fire constantly surrounding their mechanical legs, but through some form of Scytech Co. wizardry it's kept at a safe temperature. This means they can still sit, lay down, all of that without having to worry about accidentally burning everything to a crisp. Despite that, most people aren't willing to stick their hands into magical fire, so it works as an excellent scapegoat or excuse if their fiery tendencies backfire around people who don't know that.

They have a cat named Wubbzy that they love very dearly. Whenever Barracuda feels upset or stressed, he's a pro at keeping them grounded. Who could resist that cute little face? Certainly not Barra. He's not a furry little arsonist, but he still fits with in with their chaotic nature, often laying in places he knows he shouldn't be- like on top of their mask when they take it off to sleep, despite Barracuda's protests. They often have to clean the fur off of it before they can put it on in the morning.

Barracuda and Clue are best friends, for better or worse. They both love causing issues in different ways and their combined prowess can easily strike fear into people who aren't prepared for the chaos. They will make their existence EVERYONE'S problem.
