Kamon Faltrek kay-mon fahl-trek

Phoenix Infused

The phoenix will rise from the ashes even when the ashes have changed form

" Fires can be dangerous, but they can also bring people together around them. Bonfires bitch, boyah! "

Originally born of a mining city Kamon's interests lay elsewhere, an oddity in the otherwise stone-driven people around him. Feeling radical, he did a 180 and took to the seas instead while studying marine plants and animals. From a young age he started as a cabin boy on a trade ship and there he grew up. But it was when he was promoted to powder monkey that he found his true calling, skill with the explosive grey powder.

His skill saw him hired on a prominent merchant ship, one that carried rumoured 'magic cargo' so it was no wonder it was attacked by pirates. It is here, as their ship was knocked about and crates broke around him that he grabbed a strange metal box containing what looked like more of his usual grey powder. So he loaded it up and fired. It wasn't gunpowder.

The phoenix ashes no longer bound in containment and immediately fired upon caused a sort of blast-back explosion that knocked him out. When Kamon came to, rose to his feet, it was with fire in his veins. But the ship was nowhere to be seen, safe to assume only he'd survived and the guilt got to him.

He moved on from the seafaring life to study the nature of what he had become and what he felt compelled to protect, nature and its animals, learning of the cycle that fire brings.

RELATIONSHIPS

Best Friend

Quiver Fernison

He's the extreme extrovert to her extreme introvert. When everyone's talking all over her he's the one to loudly interupt them to hear her imput. When he needs back up, she will gather her courage to back him up, something he is well aware means a lot coming from her. They're quite the dynamic duo and a great example of opposites attract.

Close Friend

Amabel Teltowa

He's a wild card in the group, something she is not used to handling so he can cause her to pull at her hair a lot. However, despite her snapping, she can also see his value for not always overthinking things as she does. Plus he is has a way of making her bellow with laughter and bringing up spirits in a way she knows she couldn't.

CloseFriend

Bear Ursidai

These two are BROS. Which is hard to see when not in action because they are on far opposite ends of the energy expressing spectrum. But when they are in action, it's like they're reading each other's minds.

AUs

AU: DND

Set in the ring world Pennbor. Otherwise just your classic DnD world, filled with the fantasy, adventurous and dangerous.

Was told as a youngster what dwarves often do, and he took that to be exactly what he wouldn't do. He liked getting into trouble after all. Plus he liked living things not the endless amount of stone and coldness.
He was born with a remarkable amount of warmth which he later directs into his magic.
He studied plants and animals, made a plan to travel to go see them in person and then joined a sea crew as a sailor for a number of years doing just that.
Slowly but surely taught himself druidic magic which ended up saving his life when the ship was decimated by pirates and he was able to transform into an orca to escape.
The survivor's guilt eats him up and he vows to live for the crew and take out any pirates he comes across.
