While he can walk through a burning building, he still needs air to breathe and is otherwise mortal. His body temperature is always at about a hundred and five without harm to him in his normal form, this makes him stick out easily on thermal scans. [b]Defining moment:[/b] The first life he saved. [b]Bio/short back story:[/b] (You can combine this with their defining moment) To know him you must know the goddess Brigid. Brigid is considered the patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other livestock, and spring. Along with these attributes, she also is associated with fire. Any type of fire symbolism, including light, candles, illumination, heat, warmth or sunrises also belong to this goddess. Arrows, bells, thresholds and doorways are also included in Brigid symbolism. Several animal correspondences are also tied to Brigid, particularly ewe, dairy cows, bees, owls and serpents. In the Middle Ages, the Celtic Goddess Brigid was syncretized with a Christian saint. Christian monks took the ancient figure of the mother goddess and grafted her name and functions onto her Christian counterpart, St. Brigid of Kildare. St. Brigid was associated with perpetual, sacred flames, such as the one maintained by 19 nuns at her sanctuary in Kildare, Ireland. The sacred flame at Kildare was said by Giraldus Cambrensis and other chroniclers to have been surrounded by a hedge, which no man could cross. Men who attempted to cross the hedge were said to have been cursed, go insane, die or be crippled. Over a hundred years ago, there was a man who engaged himself on 'ye ole panty raid' to see these nineteen women. He entered the hedge maze and came upon a gorgeous woman whose hair was like flame, she offered to lead him to the women if she did a favor for him. He shook hands in ready agreement before even asking the cost, and was made her paladin/guardian/avatar. When the bones of St brigid were taken to Igreja São João Baptista (Church of St. John the Baptist) in Lumiar in Portugal, his family line was freed to leave ireland as well so they came to america, sadly this is where things take a turn for the worse. The powers of brigid were growing weaker by the generation as the faith waned, and being imune to fire won't put food on the table outside of a carnival sideshow and so his grandfather became an arsonist for the irish mafia. His son, Edans father, tried to make up for his fathers sins and became a fireman which is a tradition that has come to him now, unfortunately, the blessing of brigid can't be divided, it can only be inherited upon the fathers death. The moment of his fathers death was the first time Edan went into a burning building to save a woman, It was an elderly home where a grandmother had gotten stuck in the bathroom. She stayed alive by turning on the shower to ice cold and stayed low with an open window too small for anyone to get through. In the middle of the blaze he found himself facing a beautiful woman wearing a flaming hospital gown unharmed by the heat all around. She asked if he wanted the power to safe the womans life and he agreed without asking the cost. She renewed his bloodlines pact eight times thinned to its full power once more and every flame for a mile, from fireplace to forest fire went out all at once. He rescued the grandmother who had kept herself rather safe waiting for him to open the door from the other side, it was then that he met her granddaughter and fell in love at first sight. [b]Insight to personality:[/b] He 'felt' the scream of a woman in trouble, more-so that it was a natural redhead in growing trouble. Edan looked on to see a man goring increasingly belligerent, it seemed that any sort of conflict was doomed to failure. He kissed his wife on the cheek and walked over to the man. "Dude! Where have you been? Give me a hug man." He moved in faster than the balding guy could react and crushed him in a great bear hug, arm with gun stuck between the soft gut and the rock hard body of the fireman. "Oh hey, I got that hundred I owe you, you cant believe how much it saved me. Here let me get these groceries for you and i'll give you the change, sound good man?" The man was too flustered to do more than numbly nod as Edan helped pack the mans groceries and escort him out the store with a grip that could break wood. "I know its bad man, but It gets better. Take the money, get a hotel, get sober and a good meal. Everything is better with steak and eggs, If not, go to any firehouse and ask for Edan."
