Blaze Salamander
Elijah Ridley (a.k.a. Blaze Salamander)
Blaze Salamander is a temperamental embodiment of rageful aggression and prideful arrogance. Originally a spiritual offshoot of Stardust Phoenix created by Kaleidoscope Breathing, he now has his own body, and roams around TGC.
Blaze manifested as a half-human, half-Dragon boy. His eyes appear reptilian, and he has sharper canines than most humans.

Physical Description
Special abilities
Jade Flame: Blaze can generate a jade fire in his hands that can be manipulated in multiple ways. This flame is special as it contains traces of dragon spiritual energy that give it its unique color and a few unique properties. Jade Flame cannot be absorbed/neutralized by human opponents that have an immunity to fire because it is not an ordinary fire that can be created by humans.
Blood of Bahamut: Blaze is able to transmute parts of his body into draconic equivalents. He can harden patches of his skin into scales to lessen the impact of an attack, he can grow wings from his back, he can transform his hands into claws to use them to attack, he can turn his feet into claws and use them to grab others, or he can grow a tail to use as an offensive measure. However, Blaze is not able to transform his entire body into a draconic form. The more of his body that is currently in dragon form, the more of a strain it puts on him and wears out his endurance. The key to using this ability successfully is quick transformations back and forth when necessary. As an interesting passive effect, Blaze is able to converse with any sort of reptilian or amphibian creature.
Eyes of Tiamat: Blaze's eyes are highly developed and allow him to see in severe darkness and through extremely bright lights.
Lung Haze: Blaze can release an opulet mist from deep within his lungs around himself or in an area surrounding him. This mist is highly explosive and combusts when fire is mixed with it. This mist also is corrosive to many types of metal if they are left exposed to it for too long. The color of this mist resembles the color of a particular gem, referred to as Dragon's Breath Opal.
Power Scaling: A trait of certain dragons, Blaze has the ability to gain some of an enemy's techniques and learn their fighting style after defeating them. However, Blaze does not care much for using premeditated abilities and often does not find techniques that match up with his particular style, meaning that more often than not, any techniques that he learns will be irrelevant.
Mark of the Lindworm: When Blaze touches an opponent's flesh with his bare hands, he can choose to leave behind a brand that takes the form of a dragon insignia. This burn will continue to affect the one branded with it until it is removed using some sort of healing magic, traditional burn treatment cannot remove the Mark of the Lindworm. One affected by Mark of the Lindworm cannot use fire-based magic or abilities of their own while the mark remains seared into their flesh.
In addition, Blaze has developed a few techniques he can use in combat.
Knucker Knuckle: Sometimes, the most effective attack is a simple punch to the face and Blaze is not above this. After igniting his fist with his Jade Flame, Blaze slugs his enemy right in the kisser.
Dragon's Air: Blaze uses his Wyburner to generate an explosion beneath his feet and uses this explosion to propel himself upwards very quickly.
Jade Emperor: Blaze turns his entire body into a weapon by covering it in his Jade Flame.

Apparel & Accessories
Blaze dresses in a jade green jersey with a large white #1 embroidered onto it, along with a pair of dark blue denim jeans. He wears a white leather coat with a fur collar and fur cuffs over his top. He wears a pair of brown boots with fur that matches the jacket. He wears his hair in the style of cornrows/braids that go down his neck. He has a choker in the style of a golden ouroboros on his neck.
Specialized Equipment
The Wyburner: Blaze's signature weapon, a large fire lance. Though a seemingly primitive weapon, Blaze has found it quite effective in dealing with adversaries such as swordsmen. The head of the lance resembles the head of a dragon. Blaze can shoot fireballs from the head of his lance or generate explosions with it which he uses to force swordsmen away from their comfortable range. He's developed a special fire to use on those who are normally immune to fire-based techniques. When all else fails, he can rely on The Wyburner's size and use it as a blunt clubbing weapon to inflict quite a bit of pain
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Blaze was born from Stardust utilizing a lost and forbidden form of meditation that he learned of from the teachings of the Kazehana Dojo. This was conducted as a way to finish his training and to ensure he would be able to kill Juan Santiago with a clear mind. Born as a result of separating his "competitive, aggressive" spirit from the rest of him, Blaze may resemble Stardust physically but he is a very different person mentally. Blaze never had a proper childhood as he was born at the age of 17 and a mindset to go along with his physical age. Blaze has continued to age and mature while begrudging his "brother", Stardust Phoenix. Stardust has regained the portions of his identity that he split into individual persons but has vowed to never use the ability again as part of him feels sorry for the nature of Blaze's existence. Blaze went off on his own to make a name for himself and to prove that he was his own man once and for all.
Employment
Freelance Mercenary
Social
Contacts & Relations
Allies= No one. Blaze is incapable of truly being friends with anyone or trusting another due to being born from feelings of competition and rage. He can form temporary alliances but his hotheaded egotism ensures that they will not last.
Enemies= Anyone that fucks with him. Blaze is not above cutting down anyone or anything that stands in the way of his current goals. He has something of an inferiority complex regarding Stardust Phoenix and desires nothing more than to prove himself better than his "brother".
Social Aptitude
Blaze is crude, abrasive, and easily agitated. He speaks his mind at all times with absolutely no concerns for how it will impact others or if he's out of line. This is a result of his birth. Blaze realizes that feeling an entire range of emotions is impossible for him but he doesn't care. He feels no remorse for those harmed or offended by his actions, the only person in the world that matters to Blaze is himself. He figures that if he was made to care about others, he wouldn't have been born from feelings of aggression and competition. Blaze is unable to express love so instead he acts off of lust derived from his feelings of superiority. While unquestionably crude, do not underestimate how capable he actually or mistake his crass tone as ignorance.
