PYRALIS

Facts
Pyra's hooves leave ember hot prints; strangely, they seem to disappear after a given amount of time instead of scorching into the ground.
A constant warm body temperature, even in cold weather. Snow melts before it touches him.
Pyra's eyes are burning. Even with the mask on, flames lick from his eye sockets when he is in good health; this flame dims in bad condition, and is less intense when he is relaxed. As well as that, his tongue is made of fire, which honestly raises a lot of questions about how he manages to eat.
Cannot be burned by fire; being in contact with significant amounts of water, however (for example, jumping in the pond) will jeopardize his health and will bring him extreme pain.
His voice is very deep and almost raspy at times.
The forest is not his first life; he died as a human in a fire of his own creation. Pyralis's past life is a mystery, but it was probably riddled in crime.

Hatred:

Pyralis looks mostly like his in-game appearance. His fur is a soot-smeared dark brown, and there's embers and coalish lumps mottled to his pelt (thus the speckled and crackling appearance); some completely dark, others glowing with heat. Despite this, his fur isn't scorching to touch, for whatever particular reason. He does, however, give off heat that can be rather overwhelming.

His tail is that of a normal deer's, if not somewhat longer; it can occasionally fling (harmless) sparks around if he flicks his tail. The forest seems to absorb them, rather than ever smoke or give notice. Pyralis's hooves give the impression of gleaming coals, glowing and pulsing in various shades of orange towards the inside.

His eyes seem to give off a flame that is rather dim and unnoticable when he's content, and rather volatile and licking out of the mask whenever he's anxious or irritated. His mouth, as well, seems to flicker with a tongue of flame; this is much smaller in nature. It is, however, able to sear others, which would give one a very good reason to stay away from Pyralis's mouth in a fight.

Upon further inspection of his mask, one would make the grotesque realization that it's completely seared into his face. The mask keeps him completely unable from ever setting flame to the forest around him, with rare exception. Trying to take it off is a very gruelling, painful, and infuriating process that he's attempted many times before, but failed due to the bodily harm.

And, finally, Pyralis's antlers; they're generally unremarkable, but have a larger size than what you see in-game, as well as having candles melted into the crooks of them. They are constantly lit, but seem to almost completely flicker out when in close contact with something, rendering them useless in terms of a source of fire.
