Blaze the Cat | Sonic the Hedgehog

[curseofflames]

CHARACTER NAME: Blaze Verulia
CANON: Sonic the Hedgehog
AGE/AU AGE: 14 / 15
HERO ALIAS: Burning Blaze
OCCUPATION: Student (Hero)
PERSONALITY:

• Takes heroism extremely seriously, and carries herself with a solemn, dignified bearing well beyond her years.
• Reserved and aloof; avoids social contact and insists on working alone. Tends to speak bluntly.
• Has no patience for fooling around and can be rather judgmental, scorning those who engage in what she deems pointless frivolity.
• Has zero mercy for villains. Goes all out in every fight she's in.
• In stark contrast to her apparent stoicism, she's inwardly highly emotional, something she struggles to repress.
• Extremely headstrong. Once her mind's set on something it's nigh impossible to persuade her differently.
• Has a seriously fiery (...sorry) temper, which can drive her to act recklessly if it gets the better of her.
• Socially awkward due to both a lack of interpersonal contact as a child and just being a naturally shy person. Despite striving to maintain a distant civility, she's easily flustered or irked.
• Quite lonely, deep down. In her heart of hearts she considers her Quirk a curse that has prevented her from ever getting close to anyone.
• Ultimately a kind soul. She genuinely cares about protecting people.

HISTORY: The only daughter of two accomplished pro-heroes, Blaze has had it drilled into her since the moment she first manifested her Quirk that it is her duty to help the innocent. She initially struggled to control the flames, which fluctuated wildly depending on her emotional state; this made her a pariah among her peers, which coupled with her strict upbringing meant she spent precious little time around other kids growing up.

Though with only the best of intentions — unlike others we could name, they're good heroes, genuinely invested in justice and the welfare of the people — Blaze's mother and father placed such severe pressure on her to follow in their footsteps that she... can't really be said to have much of a childhood. She quickly learned to put a tight lock on her emotions, focusing solely on her duty as a hero.

By the time she is enrolled in UA, Blaze has already spent years both honing her physical abilities and practicing the use of her quirk under her parents' guidance. Quite frankly, she's impatient to get what she views as the formalities out of the way so she can start doing some real good.

QUIRK:
Sol Flare
A pyrokinetic Quirk passed down through Blaze's family that enables her to generate intense flames from her body. The hands and feet make for convenient focal points, but any part of her can expel scorching heat. It also allows her to bend naturally-occurring fires or even those born of other quirks to her will or quash them entirely.

Combining the power of her quirk with her natural grace and agility and near-lifelong practice, Blaze can deliver swift and destructive flaming kicks and even turn her entire body into a whirling tornado of fiery death. She can use jets of fire from her feet to propel her forward at great speeds, boost her jumps to incredible heights, or hover in the air, slowing her descent to a controlled glide (true flight is beyond her capabilities).

The primary limitation of Sol Flare is that it is strictly close-ranged in nature. Any projectiles like fireballs that Blaze creates will peter out after traveling only a moderate distance, and manipulating other flames likewise requires her to get close enough to touch... which is a dangerous prospect. While the quirk does grant her significant resistance to heat and fire, she is by no means immune, meaning that she can very easily injure herself should she use her powers at their full capacity without special protective gear. Like many fire-based quirks, intensive use also runs the risk of overheating her body, leaving her weakened.

Furthermore, it is something of a volatile quirk. If Blaze isn't careful, it may flare up without her intent should her emotions grow particularly strong. (Her resultant repression of her feelings has unfortunately only made the instances in which this does happen all the more severe.)

Yes, it's an elemental quirk. Fire is her thing. It's, y'know, in the name and all. I like to think I've done enough with it to make it interesting, at least?

COSTUME: Something at least aesthetically similar to her canonical outfit, perhaps closer in colors to her Burning form. Maybe drop the heels, though. As suggested above, her hero costume is made entirely of highly flame-resistant material.

Even out of costume, she always — always — wears custom-made gloves and shoes. Just in case.

Considering I know the character rather well, I like how this is basically pretty close to canon while still giving her some inhibitor on her quirk. Works out nicely, I think! Also accounts for the thing Sonicverse just ignores entirely like WHY AREN'T ALL THE CLOTHES ON FIRE, WHY CAN WE BREATHE IN SPACE, etc. You're set!
