Ifrit's Pyromancer
Ifrit's Pyromancer
--------------------------------------
General Character Information
--------------------------------------
Character Name: Osiris Grael
Character Alias: Zero – Ifrit’s Pyromancer, Experiment 00
Character Age: 22
Character Gender: Male
Character Race: Human/ Other
Character Position: Neutral
Character Personality: Zero is not one who particularly looks hard for friendship. He prefers to do all tasks by his own hand and will rarely let a bystander help. Being neutral, he will do whatever profits him whether it’s to kill or save. If he finds any value in it, it will be a task worth taking upon himself. He has a knack for being a smart ass but also a strategist. He has many ideas, plots, and strategies he keeps stored in his mind and he will pull them out if the time comes. Being fairly intelligent and able to observe closely, he can also come up with on-the-spot ideas. His tactics in battle can also be deadly and effective.
Combat is something well suited for Zero. He is quick to find loopholes in an opponents abilities. Ever since he was young he loved fighting, he lived for it. He is able to remain focused and calm through almost all combat situations. However, there was a single time in his past when he went into a berserk fury, destroying dozens of small towns and traveling lone over oceans. Another berserk has not yet come again but much destruction would lie ahead if it were.
Naturally Zero is a calm and sort of laid back person. He knows his responsibilities and duties and will follow through with them without hesitation. Zero is someone who loves conflicts and combat. It would be unwise to underestimate Zero in almost any circumstance. He’s not a force to be tampered with, especially in battle. He is also somewhat of a sociopath so deaths and feelings of others do not effect him. He can effectively kill without feeling pity, mercy, sorrow, or guilt. He also has no fears of his own death but he will fight to keep himself alive for he knows when his time is up and he will not perish until then.
Character's Appearance: Zero has raven-black, spiky hair with fiery red tip and highlights. His eyes are crimson and glow on occasion and there is a small, black tattoo of a flame below his right eye. He wears a dark red, long sleeve shirt with a black button-up shirt overtop of it. Baggy black pants shroud his lower half, which have flames trailing up the legs to about his knees. Partially hidden under his pants are ordinary black boots. He wears a black belt with a blood red, flame insignia belt buckle that is usually covered by his shirts. Zero stands in at roughly 6’1” and has a slight bulk but do not think he’s weak.
--------------------------------------
Battle Information
--------------------------------------
Weapon Name: Oblivion Flames
Weapon Appearance: A black sheathed katana with a fiery red blade. It holds a blackened razor edge and slightly extends farther than an average katana. The sheath is made of steel and it has a simple design. Overall, there is no glossy finish to the sword, giving the entire weapon a flat color. The sword was forged in the hottest flames of Hellfire and even if it were to be physically destroyed, it can be remade from the flames in which only Zero possesses. His sword can be summoned to him at anytime even if it has vanished from this plane of existence.
Weapon Name: Taka's Chain-link Halberd
Weapon Appearance: This Halberd has a special chain inside of it, that when Zero presses a button of the 2 grip indention, he can swing and the blade will come out and swing around, attached to a chain, for a radius of 50 ft in radius. It was given to him by Taka in the Underworld after they both died trying to fight Shadow. Taka's final wish was for Zero to kill Shadow with this Halberd and Zero will fufill that wish.
Abilities:
Master Pyromancy – Years upon years of wielding the flames ultimately lead to the mastery of Zero's Pyromancy. First aquireing the the ability to wield, conjure, and minipulate flames was bestowed upon him when Professor Hojo infused him with the essence of the fire deity: Ifrit. Mastery of this art allows Zero to command a wide array of unique fire. The fire he utilizes do not need oxygen to thrive and can even ignite under calm waters. Before mastery, Zero could manifest four forms of fire: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma. After mastering pyromancy, he can command two more forms: Ethereal, and Phantom. Ethereal flames dismiss all physical aspects of the fires, allowing them to pass through walls and fields, strike their target, and still do physical damage. Ethereal Flames have an airy blue, almost transparent appearance but give off no heat. Phanton Fire is similar to Ethereal Flames. It removes all the physical aspects and acts almost identical to Ethereal, except when it strikes, it doesn't hit with physical damage. If it hits, it will instead harm the spiritual part of the body. Without proper knowledge or remedy, an attack on one's spiritual self can last until the spirit is completely destroyed, and the victims life will end. The fires that do give off heat can reach up to 1000 degrees celcius if given enough time. After mastering this ability, Zero can pump out enough to fill a 200x200 cubic foot space, but rarely will he ever use that much at one time. After conjuring fires, Zero will minipulate it into the shape and form he needs to carry out the task; he has absolute control over the flames he creates. Master Pyromancy is also the key item of activating The Pyronomicon: a gem that embodies fire magics. It is destined to be inserted into the Firestorm Keyblade, unlocking it's full potential.
Mental Barrier –Due to a deity being apart of him, mind, body, and soul, a mental barrier has been put up that can resist many things. Others would find it next to impossible to penetrate his mind. Hypnosis, telepathy, empathy, illusions fail to work. With this, Zero can even block out pain which can be an advantage or disadvantage. Having this barrier also increases endurance while blocking out fatigue which can enable him to fight for days on end. Along with the ability to set up this barrier, he can also take down other mental blockades that limit how much his body and mind can withstand and accomplish.
Oblivion -Oblivion is the power of void…of nothingness. It can be manipulated so it may take the form of many different things and may cause physical damage. Its physical appearance is black, dark purple, and dark grey. Oblivion is an enigmatic ability that not many are able to wield. It is one of the more difficult abilities to control and takes much practice and endurance to manipulate it into what is needed. It can last long after it has been conjured and holds a strange power that not many others are able to have.
Additional Abilities:
Warmth -The title of this ability is a huge understatement. When this ability is cast, the target's body will begin to regenerate over time due to a healing fire. However the downside to this is that it will inflict burning sensations within the body but it doesn't cause any physical damage. The longer it is active the more the burning pain increases. For smaller wounds it would hurt less for the least amount of time but for larger wound it would cause a great deal of pain for an extensive amount of time. It can leave a person twisting in agony as it heals their body, if the damage is critical enough. The healing can last from one up to five posts depended on how bad the damage is. It has a 7 post cool down.
Heat- Zero is able to drastically change the temperature around a specific area. It is normally a 5-10 diameter dome that is cascaded in heat, but can range from a few inches to about a 15 foot diameter. He can create this heat without the use of any fire. The temperature can reach unbearably high within a few moments. With the ability to add heat, he can also draw heat from a specific source, making it colder. Like its opposite effect, he can drop the temperature exponetially. It can cause almost a flash freeze in a limited area. The size of an area can effect how fast the temperature changes. The smaller the faster it changes, bigger changes slower. It can be used for a maxium duration of 2 posts and has a 4 post cool-down. Or it can be used twice per post, for only one posts, with a 3 post cool-down.
Death Magic-This ability is used to inflict emotions and sensations into living beings. Zero can use it on others or on himself. It also works on nobodies by searching through their subconsience for memories of the emotions or feelings an it pulls them out temporarily. He will intensify the aspect which will induce the emotions in nobodies. Emotions can range from fear, hate, and sorrow, to happiness, mellowness, and love. The two main methods of this are: touch or through a blast of physically harmless and nearly invisible energy. A strong gaze can intensify the effects even further after the process has begun. It's damned near impossible to resist unless one has a mental barrier. It can last for 3 posts with a 5 post cooldown. Out of battle, it can be used infinitely but if a battle insues because of it, it will have a cooldown.
Cleansing Flames -Special fires constantly burn through Zero veins, organs, bones, ect. If anything hazardous were to make its way into Zero's body, it would instantly be neutralized or forced back out. This can prevent poisions from working, sickness, or other outside forces that intrude his body. Certian things will not be effected by this, like food, drink, and whatnot. It is a passive ability.
Berserk Fury of Flames -On extremely rare occasions will Zero go into berserk but when he does it's not enjoyable. His flames turn jet black and increase in strength 10 fold. He will lose control of himself and destroy anything he can get his hands on. His eyes will turn black and the obsidian flames will engulf most of his body except for random places. He loses emotion and will not descriminate between those who are evil, innocent, human, nobodies, heartless...friend or foe. The berserk lasts 10 posts, unless Zero is somehow snapped out of the fury, and it has a 20 post cooldown.
Hell's Tempest -A powerful whirlwind of instense flames that can be created around Zero's body. It can act as a shield and weapon at the same time. The longer it is active the stronger, larger, and more deadlier it becomes. It can also be used to increase the efficiency of fire based spells. When materialized, it gives of large amounts of heat and energy. This is Zero's most powerful single attack. Flames from it can be drawn to use a strong weapon and more flames will take the used ones. It can last up to 6 turns and can only be used once in a thread.

Character History
--------------------------------------
Zero grew up in Nibelheim with two others known as Izual and Ember. Izual and he were like brothers and they always got in trouble. When he turned 17, he joined SOLDIER along with Iz. Over the years he pulled himself up through the ranks of SOLDIER and was a First Class SOLDIER. After a ‘simulation’ mission set up by President Shin-Ra and Hojo, Zero was supposedly being escorted to Junon Harbor. However, there was a detour that led him to an uninhabited forest somewhere near the Bone Village. He left the aircraft, he was greeted by the butt of a rifle. While he was unconscious he was taken to Hojo’s lab.
Immediately he was injected with Ifrit’s essence, and that’s when the true torment began. His blood began to boil and pain unlike he’s ever experienced rushed through his entire body as the substance joined with him, mind, body, and soul. He passed out again after enduring the pain. He was plunged into Ifrit’s realm: Hellfire. There, Ifrit unleashed his fury on Zero. After being beat by the fire deity, he was cast out of Hellfire to awaken back in Hojo’s lab. He was on his stomach while Hojo was tattooing his new identity on his back: two zeroes engulfed in fiery wings that trailed down his back. The professor gave him the name: Experiment 00. Experiment 00 is where his name ‘Zero’ is derived from.
Osiris’s mind delved back into the onslaught of fire and appalling demons. There was a specific fiend that stood mightier than the rest. This one had massive horns protruding from its head that curved down slightly. Razor sharp teeth stared at Osiris as his eyes grew wide and his jaw tightened in fear. Never in his life had he been so frightened. Sure, he fought off countless foes, some that looked even more terrifying then this one, but that demon radiated the pure essence of fear. Osiris attempted to run away but he was unable to move. He stood on no solid ground and there was nothing close enough so he could push himself away.
The mighty demon inched closer to Osiris, sweat gathering on his face. “It’s time to take you to my domain,” Ifrit reared his arm back then slammed a powerful fist into Osiris’s chest. The mortal wasn’t forced back from the awesome strike, instead, Ifrit’s hand pierced through Osiris’s body. There was no pain that overwhelmed him…yet.
Osiris could feel the hand in his chest close around something but he didn’t know what. The demon gave of a fell grin and retracted his arm. Within mere seconds, Osiris was staring at his empty form which was previously his mortal body. His head shot around, he saw the demon’s hand wrapped around his midsection. Ifrit had ripped Osiris soul directly out of his body. Osiris gawked at his soul-torn body one more time before plunging into the raging fires below, still in Ifrit’s grasp.
When Osiris stopped falling, he and Ifrit were surrounded by white flames, a grand crimson throne stood before them. “I don’t take too kindly to being imprisoned within a mortal,” the demon said lifting Osiris to him face-to-face. “You must learn the extent of my power before I cooperate with being apart of you. For only then will you respect my ties to you,” Ifrit dropped Osiris and before the soul-torn man touched the ground, the demon struck him with an uppercut. Osiris was thrown into a jagged stone pillar, crushing some of the rock from the force of the blow. Osiris grunted in pain and slid down the stone post, pain seared his back as he watched Ifrit charge wildly at him. He watched with one eye closed tight due to the stinging pain in the back of his head.
The tower of rock crumbled as Ifrit violently shouldered Osiris through it. Stone and debris bashed off of the ground and off Osiris. He writhed in pain and clamber away on his hands and knees. A huge hand grabbed Osiris and lifted him off the ground. Osiris thrashed around, unable to break free. The next thing he knew, he was soaring through the air. He hit another stone pillar, Ifrit’s hand pinning him down. The pressure began to build and the rock began to crack. Osiris howled in pain as Ifrit pressed greatly on his body. The pillar shattered and Osiris dropped to the ground, rolling over the floor. He panted heavily, blood streaking down his face. The ground shook lightly as Ifrit walked closer. He reached down and picked Osiris up by his shoulders and slammed each massive knee into the mortal soul’s stomach. Couching up spittle and blood, Osiris slumped to the floor and Ifrit drove his foot into him. Osiris flew and rolled a good distance after the strong kick. Blood poured out of his mouth as he grabbed his stomach, incapable of obtaining enough air. His breathing came in shallow amounts, standing was a hard challenge but he was eventually victorious. He turned his head to the last know position of fire deity, who wasn’t there any longer.
An inhumane growl came from above and Osiris’s attention was shot to the falling Ifrit. His fist was reared back as he plunged toward Osiris. With his jaw clenched, Osiris drew back his own fist. The demon and soul-torn man clashed fists. A shockwave of flames radiated from the collision. Both of the opposing forces were shot backwards. Osiris slid to a stop and Ifrit flipped in midair and easily landed on the ground. Ifrit snarled, licks of flames escaping his mouth. He hovered off the ground, staring down Osiris. Suddenly he charged, his feet gliding slightly off the ground. A vortex of fire engulfed the demon as he neared Osiris, trails of fire left in his wake.
Osiris lifted his hands in retaliation and Ifrit was halted in the crash of the two. Flames engulfed Osiris’s hands, flames that didn’t burn or scorch. These strange flames originated from within Osiris. 'A unique new power?' Osiris grinned at his newfound ability. Ifrit stared in disbelief and anger; flames engulfed his own hand fire and raced at Osiris. The mortal roared and his entire body tightened as black fire spurted out of his knuckles and engulfed his hands. Ifrit’s eyes narrowed in frustration and he ran at Osiris once again. The black fire shot up Osiris’s arms as he ducked under the fist that Ifrit launched his way. Osiris smashed his arm into Ifrit’s stomach and the Fire Lord stumbled back, holding his abdomen. The foe looked down at his wounded body and back up at Osiris. Within a moment, Ifrit had vanished into flames.
The beast silently materialized behind Osiris and swung a right hook at the man. Osiris’s black-flame engulfed hand was suddenly there to block the strike. Ifrit stood slightly leaned over amazed that this mortal could be this strong. Osiris elbowed Ifrit in face and the red skinned demon’s head wailed back. Jumping in the air, Osiris spun around, flipping upside down in the process. His right leg outstretched, putting more power behind the oncoming attack. He flipped upright, still spinning and slammed his foot into Ifrit’s side. Black flames exploded on contact and Ifrit was blasted away as he slammed into the throne that idly watched the conflict. The top of the throne was ripped off as Ifrit passed through it. Ifrit bounced off of the tough ground before standing again. He dusted himself off as if nothing happened.
Months went by and a strange event led to Zero being drawn back into Hellfire. Ifrit wanted released, more for Zero to escape from the lab because escaping Zero’s body would be d**n near impossible. Ifrit began to attack Zero, who was helpless to the relentless onslaught of punches and kicks when something unique happened. He retaliated with Black Flames, a trait only Ifrit could pull off. Zero defended himself with great strength and ceased the fight soon after. Ifrit was impressed with his abilities and decided to lend the mortal some of his power. Zero fell into a coma so his body could adjust to the newfound power.
When he woke, he was in a berserk rage, forgetting most of his past. He did have recollections of some of his life as a SOLDIER but everything else was a blur. His coma had lasted three years and he was literally overflowing with stored power. He unleashed his fiery rage on Hojo’s lab, completely destroying it. Hojo, however, managed to get out alive and escape in a helicopter. The fury of Zero lasted a week and he single handedly destroyed countless areas on the rage. When it finally subsided he was landed in the Midgar area, starving and completely exhausted. He had no luck at finding anyone nearby that could help him…not until he spotted a car in the distance that ventured near him.
In the car was a woman by the name of Freya, who was a Turk. She offered to help him and he accepted without a second thought. She drove him to her Midgar apartment on one of the upper plates. There he recovered for about three days or so and took off to try and figure out his own past.
On his journeys he met Izual and Ember again. Soon their world was plunged into the darkness of the heartless. His world was inevitably destroyed and he ended up in Traverse Town with Yuffie and Aerith, and he soon found Cloud again in the Olympus Coliseum. After the events of Kingdom Hearts II, he met with Tifa as well and he continues to search for the last missing parts of his past.
Now he searches the worlds for an ancient artifact known as the Pyronomicon. The first item he’s looking for is an old tome which will explain much about it and where to look and how to conjure it. The second item will be a sword that will contain the immense power of the Pyronimicon. Third is fire from a true pyromancer that will activate it for the implication of the last object, the stone. The Pyronomicon is the stone that contains the ultimate power of the flame. Zero has spent much time and is still searching for the tome which will start him off in the right direction.

Other
--------------------------------------
Due to Zero’s direct connection to Ifrit, he can traverse in and out of numerous realms of existence. This is also supported by the magic college he possesses: Oblivion. While his interaction with Ifrit allows him to move between physical reality and realm of fire: Hell Fire; his affiliation with Oblivion allows him to move in and out of the Realm of Nothingness: Oblivion Realm. After his infusion with Ifrit, his senses and reflexes have been dramatically heightened as well as physical strength and speed.
