@Old Amsterdam accepted. I have trouble writing history too.
@Regitnui i would say the ability to create but it would cause a sort of stinging sensation across your body if uses too much, so it is always advisable to use a source rather than rely on creating.
@Zelosse So A:TLA rules with that twist? Like a waterbender could use sweat for waterbending (creating), but is much more powerful surrounded by their element, and can't make the water disappear, only transform it into steam, ice or liquid.
Originally planned on making a calm and level-headed fire elementalist, but seeing as we already have a male fire character I may have decided to do the opposite. Anyway here he is!
Also, apologies in advance for the edgy picture, I've been looking for a good three hours and I need to sleep now so I'm just using this one.
Details: Remove the piercing, collar, and bandage. Hair is a dull light blue
Personality: Silas is hot-tempered and highly competitive, refusing to be beaten until he's given 110%. Stubborn in his opinions and generally headstrong, he tends to come off as rude and uncouth even though he doesn't intend to be. Silas is usually upfront with how he says things, most of the time thinking with his heart rather than his head. Silas is incredibly loyal and protective towards those he cares about, going out of his way to help them if need be.
History: Born the eldest of two sons to an earth elementalist couple, Silas was guarded from the prejudices against elementalists for a good part of his childhood. He'd been fond of both water and the creatures that lived in it for as long as he could remember. Just before his 14th birthday Silas' elemental power over water started to manifest, he was overjoyed and he saw it as the best possible gift he could recieve.
Soon after, people's attitude towards Silas changed as nobody wanted to be associated with an elementalist. "Don't talk to him, he's one of those freaks" Silas would not admit that his powers were something to be shunned, so he was hated by many of the kids, he even ended up getting into one or two physical fights with the particularly daring children. Worried for what might happen if Silas kept getting in fights with other kids over him being an elementalist, his parents sent him away to the Elemental Academy so he could hone his powers and learn some discipline.
