SMELLS OF :: heated sulfur; smoke; iron; other noxious chemicals.
ALIGNMENT :: doesn't understand the concept yet
VOICE COLOR :: Lava (
#CF1020)
SET :: Golden Butterfly pelt and Swan Antlers
APPEARANCE ::
Highly viscous (thick, oozing) lava and hardened igneous make up the body.
Smoke constantly rises from the superheated portions of his body (excludes the hooves and antlers)
Gas bubbles occasionally form and pop on the surfaces that are still flowing with hot lava. Drips with the stuff. Any lava that falls onto land cools into smooth, grey stones.
Horns and hooves are formed by the cooling of lava which hardens into blackened, peculiar (mostly pointed) shapes. The direction of the wind and his position relative to gravity determine how they will turn out to look like.
His 'eyes' are merely gas pockets that have popped, leaving behind craters, and not what he perceives the world though.
At night, his body can light the ground around him in a 15 ft + radius.
Doesn't require sleep to function. As animals consume food, he consumes fire [whenever available to him].
CHARACTER ::
Pros

Extra
-Doesn't understand why life was given to him
-Doesn't know if there are others like himself
-Harbors a small, but growing irrational fear of mini deer
-Enjoys curling up in areas of stony ground in the birch forest
DEVELOPMENT ::
- ♦ Retains a semi-human consciousness
- ♦ Isn't physically or mentally capable of speaking in a language, despite his intelligence.
- ♦ Doesn't think in words. Instead - images, scents and sounds.
- ♦ Incapable of facial expressions; he doesn't have muscles. He may look angry, or sad, but not feel that way. Gravity pulls at his lava, sometimes giving him a 'turned-down' mouth.
- • Capable of emotions. Learning to grip them firmer.
- • Idle/content- scarce flames; retains a constant certain brightness.
- • Sad- core of the body becomes darker with reds, oranges and dirty yellows.
- • Irritated/surprised- body becomes brighter
- • Angry- flames come under his control; he levitates them in a ring, circling his head
- • Happy- flames cloak the body
- ♦ The color aspect of his vision is corrupted by a thin red haze over everything he sees.
- ♦ Physically capable of making his own sounds. bubbling, muffled moans is all he can muster. the sounds he does make can be compared to that of "Zombie Pigmen" from Minecraft
- ♦ When the mouth is opened, hot fiery liquid and chunks of igneous rock flows out.
- ♦ Immune to fire, but weakened [and risks death] by coming into contact with water. Cold temperatures also can weaken him.
- ♦ Anything casted onto him will either burn up or become a part of him, unless the item has been enchanted with a fire-protection spell.
- ♦ Refrains from touching living beings because he doesn't want to hurt them.

The idea of a smoldering deer
I'll keep this in my 'track' section.
Hah..I didn't know this was a
Ird would love to meet this
I'm sure he would enjoy
Ird was lonely, even more so
(This is Ird, sorry this took so long to start ^^)
Hi. I'm trying something
*******
The reek of sulfur gas and burning wood drifted on forest breeze to greet the senses of Ird.
From where it rested inside a huge, elderly oak, it could make out movement in the distance. It wasn't long before Ird realized that the movement was falling trees. Puffs of black smoke polluted the sky there, and angry red flames tore their way through the brush like claws of an animal.
In the mess of fire and suffocating smoke plodded a melty, dripping beast. Weakened from events earlier that day, he let the hardened stubs of cooled lava he used as legs drag on the dirt floor. Finding his way around the forest was difficult; he wasn't created with a great sense of mapping.
Behind him, the pencil-thin trees snapped and fell over with thudding as the fire spread up their trunks. Bushes became flaming chunks of shrubbery in an instant. Forest creatures fled in terror, some shrieking their danger calls. Before him, there was more forest.
More forest to unintentionally burn to the ground...
But something caught his eye - a tree with girth wider and branches loftier than any other he'd ever seen. The beast stopped to gaze up at the wonder that caught his attention. And the sound it made!
He couldn't tell if the humming was really emanating from this tree, or elsewhere. This was extremely curious to him, but seeing things go up in flames at his touch made him think about staying where he was. He didn't wish to be the cause of hatred and sorrow among the deer people.. the tree looked important.
Yet, he was mysteriously drawn to it... A bit of poking around wouldn't hurt, would it?
He deviated a little from his path of scorched grass to take a look.
It huffed quietly at the new
Every crack and pop of burning wood brings anxious squeaks from the small being. Finally the source makes itself known in a flaming mess of a deer, certainly taller than Ird was. It let out a quiet hoot of amazement at the fire one and for the moment stayed were it was. When the other got closer it couldn't help but shoot over, moving alongside the tree's hollow trunk until it was close enough to be seen.
"Oh woah! Be kinda careful please! Ird don't know how hot the humming oak can get sir. Ird knows that forest fires actually make the forest grow back stronger but well, that's the heart tree of this forest." It called out, blushing at the fact that the other might think it was scolding them. It wasn't! Just trying to save the great tree....or trying too? It wouldn't be suprised if the oak was fire proof after all. This forest was still strange to it.
(sorry this is so late, had a lot of homework to do)
Hey, it's not a problem.
*******
The elemental halted at a sudden motion near the base of the tree giant. He turned his head in that direction, staring, scanning for anything more. Two oozing globs of lava lifted above his misshapen, black antlers, functioning as ears and picking up sounds for him.
In a few seconds, a deer shyly stepped into view, one that he hadn't seen before. It seemed that each deer he saw looked very different from the last...yet similar in that they all communicated in a way which he was unable to. This one was bleeding from its face, belly and flanks...from....cuts?. The sight of it caused a dubious, but hopeful excitement that maybe this creature could perhaps communicate with him, seeing as it was flowing and drippy a bit like himself.
Although, as it began to create sounds using its largest face hole, as he had seen Ahtun do before, the young lava felt frustrated in his lack of understanding.
He listened, though, with agog interest at the sounds and the tone of voice. Ignis detected a few emotions, the strongest one being fear. And picked up distress from it's body language.
At this, he lowered his head slowly until all one could see were those twisted, smoking antlers.
He looked up again, blankly staring at the deer with the face like that of a melting wax figure.
The beast meant to show humbleness (bowing the head) and that he 'comes in peace' (despite his horrible appearance plus the whole forest fire deal).
"Hhhhrrrrwwwu", bellowed he, patiently waiting the other's reply.
(another super late reply,
It blinked at the other and slowly started to smile at them, they look different but felt the same. A quiet click and it comes a little bit closer, as far as it can anyway.....the barrier isn't letting it through. The new one seemed nice enough even though they were very much on fire. Hey, at least the old oak wasn't going to burn now and that was bound to make the Twins pleased! All things considered, the idol spirit thought that this would be a good meeting and maybe a friend would come of this.
The small one bobbed its head and pranced a bit out of excitement. "Well hello there! You sayin hello or somewhat right? Hope so cause Ird wouldn't be making sense if that was a question!" It exclaimed and gave the fire a quick bow. It made a noise like leaves in the wind and wondered if they would understand or come eat it. Or both?
