Age: 2 Months (Physically 20)
Hair Color: White
Eye color: Gold
Height: 5'10
Unique Marks: None
Parents: Unknown
Species: Phoenix
Central Pillar: He awoke 2 months ago within the ash of a fallen star. He wandered and survived for a month before being taken in by bandits in the wild lands.
Contrast Pillar: The Bandits called him Ashe because of his hair and his pyrokenitic abilities. He adopted the name Reiji as it's the first word he spoke upon awaking. He uses the name Ashe in memoriam if his fallen surrogate family.
Active Pillar: He seeks answers to whom and what he is. And to atone for what he did.
Crossing Pillar: No one.
Anthem: Phoenix Protocol
He is capable of transforming partially and completely into a Phoenix. He is capable of regenerating missing limbs and recovering from fatal damage. Can revive from death once a year.
Element Natures: Fire and Wind
Skills/Abilties:
Pyrokinesis: Capable of creating and controlling flames and heat with just a thought.
Aerokinesis: Capable of creating and controlling air and oxygen with just a thought.
Enthrall: Combining his natures, Reiji is capable of creating pressure as if increasing or decreasing gravity.
Fractured Mind: Bits and pieces of memories come and go for Reiji, allowing him great knowledge and insight one moment and complete ignorance the next.
Unknown Martial Arts: His body knows of a Fighting style his mind does not. It is tied to the name Reiji that echoes in his memories.
Weapons: Can transform his hands and feet into talons as hard as diamonds.
Bio: His earliest clear memory is of waking up in the ashes of what he believed was a fallen star. The name Reiji echoed within his mind. He figured it was his name...
Yet the bits of cloth with a half sun markings alluded to something else.
Unfortunately, the cloths fell to ash at his touch. With his mind in a haze, he simply wandered. Within the far reaches of the wild lands, he slayed with no regard to right or wrong. It took three weeks before clarity began to form for him to realize the many lives, beast and otherwise, that he had taken.
His mind almost lost to grief and regret, he found salvation in the form of a group of highwaymen. A group of thieves and murderers with a loose but adhered to code of decency. Kill for your protection or others. Accept no disrespect. Take what's needed, nothing more.
The group accepted Reiji almost instantly, admiring his abilities and quick learning. Though his lack of common sense to the ways of the world cost them several scores.
Within the third week of being with the group, Reiji thought he found where he belonged...
It was supposed to be a simple scavenging outing. The whole group heard tales of a massive meteor that descended upon an unsuspecting village in the further reaches of the wilds. The unfortunate souls lost meant more gain for them. But they weren't monsters. They would bury the dead they could find. After looting of course.
Reiji's mind was racing however. The site the meteor crashed into wasn't much further from where he remembered awaking.
They arrived to find almost everything reduced to ashes. A blackened crater with ash falling like snow ; a serene and tragic scene all in one. There were certainly no survivors.
As the group picked through the ashes attempting to find anything of value, he saw it.
Not just a cloth this time. An entire tapestry. With the half sun symbol, now showing with an hour glass behind it. Words echoed in his mind as a piercing headache struck him.
Kaitlyn...
...Nia
Hinata...
...Udia
...
K...
The words echoed as voices all around him. His own name repeated over and over in a cacophony of noise and agony.
His legs gave and he dropped to his knees, the pain too much. Nothing made sense but the names.
He could hear the sounds of bells ringing, of a cage and fluttering. Laughter, screams, moans, and dying gasps. The roar within his mind and soul began to speak out one last name.
'Ku...sa...na... gi...'
His own scream pierced the heavens. Yet it was drowned out by the deafening explosion that rocked the planet with Reiji at its epicenter...
He awoke several hours later, lying haphazardly within the 800 meter crater that now scarred the land with a dark blemish. He held his head as vague memories came back to him.
He gazed around for his comrades... only to find the blackened and partially vaporized skeletal remains of the people he had called family. The pain that struck his mind now clawed at his heart. An anguished scream once more left his soul. His tears sizzled into the ground. Unbeknownst to him, small flowers began to bloom under the ash where his tears fell.
He stood shakily, his mind reset as the first time he had awoken. With no clear goal and nothing to his name, Reiji...Ashe... chose a direction... and began walking
