🔥Ciara Smith🔥

_{🔥 Location: Silvermist Academy, Dorm-> Baths -> Mess hall
🔥 Time: Afternoon}

---

Ciara curled into a ball. The white ashes, remains of wood and coal, spread across her skin. Her eyes opened to observe her room. Her bedtime fire went out a few hours ago leaving a pleasant but cooling the heat in its wake. Already the red coloring had faded to white causing her to sigh. A mist floated into the chilly air. Casually she pushed herself upright and flipped her feet over the edge. Her feet hissed when they made contact with the cold floor. Ciara’s arms stretched out over her head while she collected herself before relaxing.

She took the measure of her surroundings. Unlike most students, she found it easier to sleep while engulfed by fire. Childhood memories from her mother and being placed in a stoked fire filled her mind. The heat cradled her and soothe her fears, encouraging peaceful sleep. Sometimes she thought she could hear her mother’s sweet voice ring out in the background. Without that comfort, nightmares plagued her. Nightmares led to eruptions and carnage.

Her head shook away the thoughts as she rose to her feet. Dragging herself to the end of the bed, she crouched down by a metal trunk. The lid flipped over with a little effort, exposing her clothing nestled safely inside. Ciara took out a simple loin cloth, breast wrap, dress, and apron. With a quick push down, the lid slammed down when she stood upright. Sleeping naked stopped nightmares from wasting her money.

Taking a sooty blanket, she wrapped herself in it for modesty. She pushed the door open and began to walk toward the baths. Ciara knew being covered in ‘ashes’ wouldn’t do for the cleanliness requirement at Silvermist Academy.

As she began to descendent down the stairs leading to the underground caverns, she entered the pool room. The waters bubbled slightly and heated the cavern. Already some students had stripped then waded into the inviting water. Ciara just shuddered and sped past them. Her ‘bath’ consisted of fire rather than water. Water hurt her in ways it didn’t for others causing scars that took years to fade.

She paused at a small hole. Leaving both the blanket and her clothes on the marble bench, she began to climb down the metal ladder. Her movement caused it to creak on her way down. Darkness crowded her as her veins gave off a faint light, illuminating close proximity. Ignoring her fear, Ciara stepped into the center and sat crossed legged.

A small breath inhaled then exhaled. With a little effort, her core began to heat. The section of her heart glowed orange then turned to white. Flames began to spew from the veins spread across her surface. With each passing minute, the lines grew brighter and wider until it engulfed her in a fire. Light erupted from her surface as it chased away the shadows. When the peak of the fury pass, Ciara’s skin darkened into its default state once more. She gradually lifted upright and walked back to the metal ladder, her surface clean of any blemishes. With a quick motion, she quickly made it to the top to dress.

Now for breakfast, she thought. Ciara dropped her blanket into the basket for someone else to clean and dry later. At least one perk of being so strongly associated with fire, she got out of certain chores. Laundry and dishes being the most notorious ones to her health.

[Korriban, 6 ATC 5] Trial by Sith

Blurb:

This scene takes place a week after Dash's and Mahree's arrival at the Korriban Academy. Two of the overseers have arranged a trial to intro them to the Sith's competitive world using a tomb run. The tomb itself is small and one of the earliest raided, making it a perfect testing ground. Other non-students Sith can join in as long as they contact and gain approval from Mara and/or Corinth.

Players are one of two groups and their goals in the tomb are different. This scene will encourage character conflict, sabotage, and interaction with all involved.

Students

* Survive the challenges within the tomb
* Retrieve a single baton from Mara and keeping it until they reach the end

Non-Students

* Stop or prevent the students from crossing the end with the baton
* Are not allowed to seriously damage, maim or kill students directly- each other is another story

Students who fail to deliver the baton will result in two types of punishment:

* Immediate: A quick lightning force from Mara
* Long Term: Gardening work for her Alchemy infused plants

Tomb Layout

The only exit is the S near the 10th room. I do not own the map and only using it as close reference to the tomb's outline.

Mutant's Mark

Ciara’s whole body is her mutant mark.

Appearance

Ciara’s mother described her to be living fire, both in its best and worst form. Overall her shape is human with a thin and light build. But that’s where her human similarities seem to end. Her hair seems to be a pixie cut most of the time but lengthens when angry.

At her default mood, her skin is primarily black. There are yellow and red magma veins running over the cracks on the surface. These lines give off a faint glow in the darkness. Her hair is lazy smoke rising and appears to be a short cut. Her pupils and irises are the same color, being a bright yellow. The eyeballs themselves are a deep red. Her ears curve into forked pointed fashion, attaching the bottom to her jawline. Large patches of her body are a slight off black in color, every single one a scar from her abusive past.

At her angriest, Ciara’s fire engulfs her whole body and burns everything away. She still retains a human-like appearance, but it’s more like a living flame than blood and flesh. Her veins seeming to hold no blood at all when she bleeds. It still weakens her when she is hit and suffers damage.

Her usual outfit are on practical and traditional unless she’s working in the forge. When traveling, she’ll wear plain white and brown dresses that fall down to her feet. They are firm fitting to her body enabling mobility as she works. On her feet are well worn and second hand down boots. In the forge, she switches out her dress for a tunic and breeches. Often she’s covered in soot due to her fire element.

Personality

🔥Short Temper: Ciara has a short, Irish temper like her father. It doesn’t take much to get her started, but she quickly burns out. She doesn’t hold a grudge against others. She struggles the most with this negative trait of her personality since it’s not hard to get her riled up.

🔥 Mask: Ciara doesn’t let her sorrow or pain show past her demeanor. She tries to be an assertive and strong type, but it’s not easy. Especially when trying to do it every day. Most know her to be a bundle of energy and a little moody.

🔥Craving Normalcy: Ciara wishes she could have a normal life and carving the simple things. So any time she can practice or receive it, she is grateful. Even if she doesn't say so. There is a small acknowledgment at the back of her brain that she knows it won’t last.

🔥Emotional: Ciara’s emotional state can flip between hot and calm rather easily. She can burn hot and fast one moment, then chill the next one. Most describe personality as being extrovert since her emotions affect her drastically. When she’s angry to sad, you can easily tell it based on her reactions.

-------

Everyday Skills

🔥Cooking: Ciara has a pretty good cooking skill and improved by the academy. With each meal, she puts great pride in it. It shows since she’s made many simple, but delicious meals. Her favorite dishes happen to be spicy or roasted.

🔥Cleaning: Being heavily independent, Ciara has learned to keep a certain level of cleanliness with her things. This includes the forge, kitchen, and her own room. Sometimes she’ll help others for a small fee or favor.

🔥Basic Sewing: After flaming her clothing so many times, Ciara has learned to make her own clothing. Else she would be running naked around the academy for everyone to see.

🔥Black Smithing: Ciara did gain some basics in blacksmithing when her father made her help him around the shop. At this point, she’s still a very young apprentice, but her skills are edging to a craftsman. In the following years, she has learned to make lots of things. From common tools like nails and horseshoes to weapons like arrowheads and swords. She takes great pride in this.

🔥Basic Survival Skills: She has a basic idea of how to survive in woodlands, snowy landscapes, and deserts. Granted, she will admit she needs help in remembering the information.

🔥Basic Reading, Writing, and Math: All students learned this, but Ciara never enjoyed the math part. She needs others to double-check her addition or subtraction because the numbers are rarely right.

Combat Skills

🔥 Close Quarter Combat: Thanks to the teachers at the school, Ciara has learned a style that fits her. It mixes martial arts, common brawling, and her fire traits into an offensive style.

Equipment

🔥Leather satchel: Large over the shoulder bag for carrying things.

🔥Sewing Kit: Bone needles, catgut thread, and other equipment to patch up rips and tears in clothing. In emergencies, it can be used to stitch up wounds.

🔥2-3 sets of similar clothing: A precaution since her temper can get out of control and result in unwanted exposure. Ciara might not be ashamed of her body, but she’s not the type to flash everyone her goods.

🔥Blacksmith set: A simple hammer, pliers, and few other hand tools for any smithing occasion.

------

Powers

🔥Creation of Fire: Ciara is a human embodiment of fire thus enabling her to create her own fire. She stores inside until she calls it forth with her fire manipulation. As a result, her body temperature on average is hotter. Her surface ranges from a heated stone to produce flames strong enough to make 3rd-degree burns on contact. She is not harmed by outside sources of fire. She can touch, walkthrough, and stand in open flames without it affecting her.

🔥Fire Manipulation: Using the fire she creates and expels, Ciara can mold it into any shape or direct it however she wishes. The fire bends to her whims to a certain limit. She often uses her hand gestures to direct her flames than her mind since the latter is more difficult. She can also increase or decrease the power of a flame by focusing her emotions into it. Emotions like anger and happiness will result in a flame growing stronger. Emotions like fear or sorrow will shrink them, eventually dying out.

Weaknesses

Creation of Fire

🔥Water on her skin is like acid. It both damages and prevents the fire from sparking until dried. Submerging or drowning her in large amounts could possibly kill her.

🔥Extreme cold drains away her energy, leaving her weak and tired. This will put her to sleep if she can’t manage to keep warm. Weather can cause her to expand her energy more than usual which means she burns out faster than normal.

🔥Preventing Ciara from getting air will cause her fires to shrink and fade. Naturally, after so long, she’ll pass out like a fire snuffed out by being under a glass jar.

Fire manipulation

🔥 Ciara can only manipulate her own fire, not outside sources. This means any fires that aren’t sourced from her, can’t be stopped or redirected in any fashion.

🔥Fires sourced from Ciara are connected to her. Influenced by her status, meaning if Ciara is put down (knocked out or massively hurt) then her fires instantly burn out.

🔥Ciara needs to keep her emotions in check. Too much anger or fear could cause a wildfire to break out and cause serious amounts of collateral damage until she can get it back under control. With the lower end emotions, she finds it hard to get her fires to build quickly or at all.

🔥Even though she can manipulate it, fire is still fire. It will burn an ally or foe if they come into contact with it. She can not stop that.

Trust Issues
🔥Ciara doesn’t like opening up to others. She won’t share her personal struggles with her emotions or issues, causing her to put them off over and over. This can create issues much later down the road with her abilities. Even emotional outbursts.

Fears
🔥She doesn’t like to feel weak or get pity from them, even when she has gotten close to them. It’s painful to consider how they might see her and how it might not match up to the strong image she wants to show. So she seeks out isolation during these times, but she doesn’t understand how to resolve these issues due to her past.

Quick to Burn, Fast to Burnout
🔥Ciara’s emotions are fast to spark and heat up, but they burn out fairly quickly. This means there are lulls when she uses her fire abilities in combat as she needs to build things back up. These leave her open to attack if she's not careful or overuses her fire ability in combat.

Not Immortal
🔥 While fire can't affect her, Ciara isn't immune to damage from blades, arrows, and other weapons. She can still feel pain and suffer even if the weapon isn't immune to the fire.

@Fallenreaper

I didn't specify that, my apologies.

Powers show up early, and just continue to develop through a mutant's life. Considering how every mutant born is obviously a mutant, there is no 'surprise reveal' when their powers happen to go haywire. So, their powers start out when they're little kids, to no one's surprise.

@Shard

I had to ask because X-Men mutants can have big or small outbursts for their powers and can leave some big aftermath. For example, depending on what's possible my firebug can catch her house on fire or just singe a blanket. So I wanted to be sure what was more possible for this world. I guess this means their appearances hints to their abilities?

⚫ The Fates' School for Gifted Monsters ⚫

@Fallenreaper

Thank you for your interest.

As of now, no. The only character which is up and about is mine. No one else has run any ideas by me, yet. You're good to go with whatever comes to mind.

@Shard

Cool, I have a small idea for strong fire starter (fire manipulator) with a demonic look. I'm still reading the OoC, but I'm not seeing when powers tend to show up in the mutants. Might've not hit it or missed it. >,<

⚫ The Fates' School for Gifted Monsters ⚫

It's got my interest perked, but I might need a few days to see if I can come up with a suitable idea. This looks like a bunch of fun. Does anyone already have ideas for their character's powers in the works? I don't want to step on toes and I want to make the group as diverse as possible.
