Name: Phoenix Jamston, but mostly goes by Nix.
Age: 21
Birthday: June 30th, 1998
Gender: Male
Species: Human/Mage (Fire)
Category: Student (College)
Career: Nothing at the moment, hopes to work in a bakery part-time.
Appearance Description: Nix previously had dirty blonde hair but recently has dyed his hair a vibrant crimson, and his eyes are forest green. He has a tan complexion, due to being out a lot. He stands at about 5'6 and has an athletic build - from playing soccer and fighting people who wanted to hurt him. His style usually consists of plain t-shirts and jeans, although recently he has taken to wearing a dark green sweater. He keeps a backpack on him, for emergency healing stuff and storage. As for special markings, he has a few nasty scars on his hands, and one on his torso - all from his time spent in the cave.
Personality Description: Nix is a really jokey, funny character (well, he tries to be, anyways - it usually works to varying degrees) - EXCEPT WHEN HE'S ANGRY. Usually one can find him near people, cracking terrible jokes and wolfing down any sort of salty chip he can find, and drinking all the coffee in sight. However, while he might be a little brash and hot-tempered, he's also very justice -oriented, meaning that he will always do what he PERCEIVES to be the "right thing". Of course, this is from making several mistakes himself over the years. Usually this is well-meaning but misguided. He's also a huge klutz and will trip over literally anything. When it actually comes to meeting people, Nix will try his best to make them smile, whether that be through flirtation, jokes, or just plain reassurance. However, he has really no idea how to maintain a conversation without, in his words, "doing a word-vomit type-thing.". He rambles on a lot, and is easily swayed by emotions of those around him.
When uncomfortable, his hands will spark up, a reflex he's learned via the cave - always be ready. On Manta Carlos, however, it's become more of a nuisance than a protection mechanism.
Lastly, when he does attach to someone truly, he shows them a side that isn't seen n the surface: a protective, ready-to-fight side - ready to face any threats that might hurt the friend in question, even themselves. In this side of him, Nix is constantly, subtly on watch for any danger, also courtesy of his bad experiences in the cave, particularly with his sister.
Active Abilities:
Fire Creation
Able to perform fire magic. Most commonly manifests as either a ball of flame in his hand (about the size of a softball), stove-like heat coming from his palm, or sparks at the ends of his fingers. Increase in size and volatility when angered.
Passive Abilities:
Warm
Constantly naturally warm, a bit warmer than normal humans (not fever-warm, but still a bit warmer than average.)
Weaknesses:
Cold
More susceptible to hypothermia, frostbite, and other illnesses/conditions involving the cold. Even a common cold is a bit worse for him.
Too Cold
As a result of the above weakness, ice magic, wind magic, and water magic are extremely effective on him. While he wil not die from one hit, it will hurt him about twice as much as it would a normal human, increasing twofold when using his powers or when the magic is striking the source of his fire.
Common Magical Items: None Equipped
Biography: Nix was born June 30th, 1996, to Lena Jamston and her husband, Arnold. For the first sixteen years of his life, he had to deal with the fact that since his mother was just getting the bakery started and his father was a slacker, they'd been pretty tight on money, and so he didn't really keep up with most of the trends of the schoolyard, always looking a little disheveled. His twin sister, Amelia, had dated and then dumped a flurry of guys starting at 12, until she met Kevin, who basically treated her like trash - he would smoke and drink and swear, and thus got Amelia into smoking. The worst part? Her father was totally fine with Kevin treating his daughter like trash, and her mother was too busy trying to provide for the family. Eventually it ended up being that Nix got into an argument, and then a straight-up fight with his father to protect Amelia, who ultimately lost and left for California, halfway across the States. Him, Amelia (called by Nix as Lili to disuse her father's name for her, Ame,) , and their mother ended up staying at the bakery, which had finally got its roots down and had been doing pretty well. Nix got lost for a time in a strange place - a cave on the outskirts of a mountain - and developed his fire powers there, with the help of another person lost in the cave, fighting his way through everything from sentient skeletons, to his first girlfriend, to stupid little experiments involving ridiculous amounts of deadly poisons and acids. He found his way back, but because of his power over fire, he was first used, then abused, and finally cast out because he was sick of being used for a human lighter. Nix ended up using a LOT of his concentration to form a habit of dampening his fire powers, which ultimately backfired on him, weakening his powers almost irreparably.
Five years after he came back up from the cave, he got an invitation from Starlight Academy to join the College sector, and he happily agreed, vowing that one day, he'd take his sister to live with him.
Having had his sister come to the Island in recent weeks, he has become a bit more happy and is very protective of her.
Resources:

Allowances - mailed monthly from his baker mother, to supplement his college education.

Active Abilities:

Able to perform fire magic. Most commonly manifests as either a ball of flame in his hand (about the size of a softball), stove-like heat coming from his palm, or sparks at the ends of his fingers. Increase in size and volatility when angered.
Limits:
Cold
Nix does not like the cold. It affects both his Fire ability and his passive Warm ability, which diminish proportionally to how cold he is (by about 5 percent for each degree below room temperature the area is).
Anger
While his Fire ability is strengthened, it is also more unpredictable, and sometimes ends up hurting Nix himself rather than his opponent. (40% self-strike rate.)
Usage
Using his power over extended periods of time can cause it to fizzle and burn out, making it difficult to battle with.
Passive Abilities:
Warm
Constantly naturally warm, a bit warmer than normal humans (not fever-warm, but still a bit warmer than average.)
Weaknesses:
Cold
More susceptible to hypothermia, frostbite, and other illnesses/conditions involving the cold. Even a common cold is a bit worse for him.
