NAME: Pharos Lucent
AGE: "I stopped counting after.... a hundred years or so."
GENDER: Male
SCHOOLING YEAR: Teacher
SPECIES: Some sort of fire creature, he won't specify.
PLACE OF ORIGIN: "I have not a single clue."
OVERALL PERSONALITY: One word can describe the man. Cocky. His many centuries on the earth has made him experienced and he knows it... and will brag about it. His regeneration factor also helps in this, as he has no idea of the meaning of the word 'Punishment'. Laughing at bandits threatening his life? He'll end up dead and just come back. That's why he enjoys a few cracks at everybody. Rumors have it that he even called the Headmistress an Old Hag at one point. He laughs at the rumors, winking and saying 'It's funnier for you to find out.'
Otherwise, he is a pretty laid back guy. A bit stubborn at times, and hot headed to say the least. He enjoys going into other teacher's classes when he has free time to pester those people. Anything to create some chaos actually.
LIKES: The Warmth; Chaos; Travelling; Authority; New kids
DISLIKES: Anything Cold; Being a bore; His tricks getting old
STRENGTHS:
+ His long life over the eras have given him incredible experience in combat.
+ His ability to regenerate so well could make him a great asset to any missions or teams he's put with.
+ His long years of travelling make him less then likely to get lost while travelling... unless he does it on purpose.
WEAKNESSES:
- The random factor in his attitude makes him everything but predictable. It can become very annoying when you're on a stealth mission and he just decides to walk out into the open.
- Apart for his regeneration ability, disarm him and he becomes basically useless in a fire fight. His control over fire not the greatest.
- Put him anywhere near water and he just becomes useless overall.
FEARS:
* Spiders. He doesn't know why, but the eight-legged creeps just terrify him.
* Large open bodies of water. He's terrified of drowning, he's terrified of the disorientation that comes from just seeing so much water around.
POWER(S):
Affinity to Fire: Being what he is makes him attuned to the flames around him. Able to manipulate already open flames to a small degree -could- be considered a cool thing, but his true strength he has with the element lies in the ability of summoning flames on top of himself. He can't hold the coat for very long, depending how much he actually covers himself with the coat. He can also turn the flames against him to kick start his regeneration factor.
Regeneration: Owning up to what he is, this is the only power akin to his brothers and sisters. The power to regenerate unscathed from whatever wound he had suffered previously. This is the pinnacle of his powers, able to reform his body to what he desires. Even able to change gender if he melts to the very bone. This is all well in thought until you think about the fact that he's died more then hundreds of times... always felt death's cold embrace only to snatch himself back from it with great pain. He also needs a flame to start any of his healing factors. The flames could be kind of considered as a sowing machine. Another thing which his regeneration gives him is that when he dies, he melts into ashes rather slowly. He can't really die, but if there is nobody to burn his corpse, it'll do it itself very slowly.
These effects are all negated if his corpse is in a body of water, the flames unable to do their works when under it.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Pharos stands at roughly 6'. This and his hair color are the only two things that keep the same when changing if he does want to change his whole appearance... which has been done. Frequently? Only he may know. For right now, he has short red hair, usually in a mess everywhere. Going down to his eyes, they have the flames of experience if you stare too deep within the man's Emerald gaze. Going lower, his face is finished off by a beard typical to one not accustomed to the cold environments of the north.
As your gaze goes lower, the man's body seems to be rather well built. Either showing a lot of experience in combat, which he has, or that he has something to prove... which most of the times he does. As the School's weapon master, it's his job to be prepared for rather anything.
His clothing could easily be considered random. Usually in torn jeans and a t-shirt, you can and probably will see this man in many different attires that don't match much. Sandals with socks? Why not. Dress pants with a skull t-shirt? Has been done. He doesn't care of what he puts on in the morning and it shows.
HISTORY: It was told that Pharos was born on a solar eclipse during the summer solstice. Or so he tells people. He knows that his birthday is around that time, if not on the day itself. If you think immortals from his time could precisely tell you, they couldn't. For it is said that where Pharos was born burnt down in a terrible forest fire. This is basically all he remembers of his childhood.
At his teenage years, he started travelling. In his travels, he went everywhere during every era. From Victorian England to First Nation's North America, he has been there through it all... either on the side lines or in the middle of it all. His face can be seen in some history books if looked at long and hard enough. Like playing a gigantic game of 'Where's Waldo?'. Other then that, he doesn't talk about it much.
Then there comes his teaching years at Scholae Elementorum. Being buddy buddy with the Headmistress got him in a very high position from the Get-go on his first days at the school. Ask him about his experiences while he was travelling, I'm sure he'd love to tell you.
FAMILY: "Family? The world around you see is family enough to me."
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: For a week, every year, he stops teaching classes. People don't know why, it just happens.
