Name: Aedan
Nicknames: "Smokey", "Ash" (neither of which he particularly appreciates.)
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Faction/Race: Hellhorse (He'd fall under demons, I think.)
Personality: Somewhat solitary (as a general rule, he can take-or-leave company, although if given a choice, he'd choose to be in the company of others), he's got a chip on his shoulder. Very proud, it's a constant, not-so-private source of shame for him that he lacks control over both his temper (at least, at times..particularly when his flammability is brought up) and his fear...he sees it as a constant failure to live up to what he feels his potential should be. As a result, he tends to overcompensate by taking on way more than he can really handle, and often trips himself up and causes himself a ton of unnecessary stress--very much has issues accepting constructive criticism, or asking for help.
As a result, he can
come across as something of a perfectionist, and more than a little bit on the a**l side. Definitely not very good at cutting loose, or just sitting back and enjoying the ride, so to speak. He is loosening up a bit, and is able to (occasionally) make fun of himself, or his shortcomings..but it's still not a comfortable thing, for him.
Not overly studious, although that might come across as surprising--he takes on more than he'd prefer because he feels like he needs to compensate and cover up his shortcomings, not because he feels some overwhelming need to be top of the class/whathaveyou.
Because he's not a social butterfly, and finds it difficult at times to nerve himself up for casual conversation with those he doesn't know well, he's pretty loyal to his friends. Honest and fairly plainspoken--if he's asked an opinion, or given information, he's of the mind to respond with his thoughts, even if they don't align with the person he's talking to.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? His parents are tired of paying to replace things that he randomly lights on fire--if it were deliberate destruction, that would be one thing, but the accidental torching of all and sundry is a bit much.
FEAR: He can light his horn on fire, and use it as a sort've flaming lance. =D. Take that as you will~ ;D. Currently, it just gets hot enough to sort've glow (can we say rudolph of the unicorns?)
Innate Ability: Fiiiire. Unfortunately, fire without much control. He can heat things up until flame spontaneously appears (where there's fuel, obviously--he can't create it in something like a vacuum, or under water)..unfortunately, he has very little/NO control over this power, at the moment. He's thus far burned his favorite poster, singed the ends of his hair on countless occasions, and nearly suffocated from smoke inhalation, to name a few notable incidents. Emotional turmoil seems to make it more likely that things are going to catch fire...unintentionally. That said, he can't start huge fires, or heat up large areas--while flames can spread, he can only cause small fires..and currently (mercifully) only one at a time.
His natural state would also be...equine. If equines were on fire.
