Appearance[break]
Physical Description: Manna's youthful face is framed by a shaggy head of crimson hair long enough to mask his ears. Strands often fall into his face, dangling within his contrasting gaze of hazel and maroon. The point of his chin and the cut of his jaw are newly formed, just beginning to define themselves at the apex of adolescence. Still despite his growth the boys cheeks maintain a childlike fullness, a remaining reminder that he is young despite the strong arms and long legs. His rapid ascent to six feet has left him long limbed and lanky, a frame upon which muscle has only just begun to properly form. His skin is youthfully blemish-less; the scars of childhood having long since faded to a point nonexistence.

[break][break]Clothing: While not particularly concerned with fashion Manna has been known to make an effort when dressing himself for the sake of maintaining appearances. He tends to keep a sporty and active look, often opting for a pair of jeans, sweats, or shorts over any formal wear. He also is almost always wearing a t-shirt of some kind and tends to stick to various pairs of sneakers over other footwear. While Manna cycles through shirts, pants, and shoes, there are two items he is almost never without. His black hooded jacket, and his red scarf. While he wears the jacket simply because he thinks it makes him look cool, the scarf has significant sentimental value to him as it is one of the few things connecting him to his mother

[break][break]Personality
[break]Brash, confident, and independent, Manna is perhaps the prototypical teenage rebel. A lack of respect for authority, tendency to commit petty crimes, and a propensity for loitering, all lend to his reputation as a degenerate. The boys 'too cool' for others attitude and mean mug have dissuaded people from approaching him in the past and so he has not made many friends. Despite his reputation, Manna is slow to anger and can be very patient at times. He picks and chooses when to speak as he does not like wasting words, though he will often make exceptions to deliver a snide remark or two. Manna's youth often shows in his naivety as to how the world truly functions. To say he doesn't work well with others is an understatement as the boy refuses to walk any path but his own. At times Manna even intentionally pushes people away for fear of connection, a byproduct of his parental issues. Often he fails to take things seriously and is pretty unbothered by most situations he finds himself in. Insults, slights, and trauma seem to leave him unfazed, when in reality he simply lacks to maturity to properly express himself in front of others. It is because of this that he's promised himself never to cry again, and will go to great lengths if it means avoiding confronting his feelings. Sometimes this can make him come off as particularly grumpy as the easiest way to deal with his problem he's found, is to hit something or someone. While not entirely irrational when in this state, Manna does not always possess the strength of character to resist lashing out.

[break][break]History
[break]Manna's earliest memories are of his mother. While there is not much he remembers about her; the distant image of a smiling, silver haired, crimson eyed, woman reading to him haunts his dreams. While the memory itself is one of warmth it only serves as a harsh reminder that Manna is alone. For reasons unknown to anyone his mother just simply left one day and never returned. As an accomplished mage and respected scholar it was apparently normal for his mom to leave on adventures throughout the galaxy, however nobody ever knew much about where she'd go. Dead or alive she left Manna alone in the care of elementium miners from a small village in the Isborn-Bellumese Commonwealth. As if losing his one relative wasn't bad enough the boy further stood out for his ethnic differences.
[break][break]Fioran was his first language and Boscan was his second simply because those were the languages his mother spoke best. The somewhat underdeveloped version of Isellium she had initially taught him to speak made him standout amongst other kids in the village. He didn't learn to speak it fluently until he began spending more time in the care of his neighbors, where he would spend weeks waiting for his mom to return from her latest excursion. It was on one of those stays where he first manifested magical abilities and nearly burned down the house in the process. The family he was staying with refused to care for him after that and so his mother would begin to leave him with the local temple instead. There Manna first gained some semblance of control over his magic, and there is where he first began to take an interest to reading. Ultimately the temple gates would be the last place he'd see his mother, abandoned at just five years old.
[break][break]Once the temple realized his mom was likely never going to return they quickly looked to find him a more permanent home. He bounced around place to place as friends of his mother did what they could to support him, but their generosity would only last so long. Inevitably he ended up in an orphanage. Once he turned thirteen he was able to claim what his mother had left to him by birthright, a small house just outside of town and all her belongings. There he would spend many a night trying to understand his mothers writings, searching desperately for a clue as to where she had gone. While he read what he could many of her writings the boy simply could not understand despite trying. The towns library was not extensive and the temple's scriptures had only gotten him so far. At one point Manna planned to move to the big city and hire a tutor to help him understand everything. He even got a job to finance this plan, but was eventually dissuaded by the cost and time it would take.
[break][break]After getting fired from every 'shitty' job he could find in the village Manna took to stealing simply to feed himself. He was caught several times but never faced serious consequences as a minor who everyone knew to be orphaned. Eventually he got pretty good at it and slowly began to move up from shop lifting to home invasion. His magic gave him an edge over anybody looking for trouble and pretty soon he was known as the villages local bully. Nearly everyone was afraid of him and simply walking down the street meant facing hateful stares and petty whispers. Eventually Manna to began to loathe the town and his need to escape it has begun to intensify with every passing day. Once he figures out how to get a star ship Manna plans to fly away in search of his mother and hopefully never look back.


[break][break]Equipment & Items
[break]Emperors Cloak- A Class
[break]A protective aura of flames that cover the entirety of Manna's body; this blazing red armor exists in an almost symbiotic capacity to Manna. While not being a part of him the protective flames do indeed come from within Manna and can be retracted at anytime. Despite being entirely made of fire, the armor is not inherently hot, and in fact does not smoke. The armors flames are not very intense, and are translucent enough to make out the entirety of Manna's form under them. The flames appear most intensely around the boys shoulders hands, and head. This armor is weightless and is able to make b class repairs to itself over a span of three posts. This has a cool down of three posts.

[break][break]Skills & Disciplines
[break]Thuggery: Picking pockets, trespassing, breaking and entering, you name it, he's done it, and on more than one occasion. Far from a master thief however, Manna relies on talent and experience more than any practiced skills. While he is apt at sneaking around Manna would much prefer to operate simply, and because of this he has mastered the art of the stick up. The boy has a knack for intimidation and he wields it as a tool to impose his will on others without resorting to violence.
[break][break]Book Learnin': A book worm in his own right, Manna's always been curious about the world around him. Stories from the past once kept him company at night, and the endless possibilities of magic have always captured his imagination. While books are few and far between, the varied writings, stories, and observations in his mothers journal have proved quite informative in an array of areas. He is well versed in history especially as he spent much of his childhood reading scrolls from his villages temple.
[break][break]Trilingual: Manna's mother spoke many languages however she was most fluent in Fioran and Boscan, and so those were the two languages Manna learned to speak first. The version of Isellium she had initially taught him was broken and somewhat outdated, it didn't become fluent in it until much after he was already reading and writing in the other two. While a bit rusty nowadays, Manna can read and write in all three of those languages proficiently enough to pass as a native speaker, tho he may struggle to hide his accent depending on which language he'd been using most recently.

[break][break]Magic

[break]Name(s): Flame Imperial
[break]Type(s): Fire Magic
[break]Proficiency: 3
[break]Rank: 3
[break]Description(s): True to his roots Manna has inherited a potent form of fire magic from his mother. The full extent of his capabilities remains a mystery as he lacks any formal training, but still he has grown to understand the magics basic characteristics. Manna has come to learn that his own flames do not necessarily behave like normal fire. He can determine who and what they burn regardless of what they touch, and even use them to form limited defensive barriers. Offensively, this is a very capable magic however the high firepower comes at the cost of precision. Many of the magics attacks deal splash damage and while Manna can control what burns, there is always the relatively high potential for collateral damage. However despite being inherently destructive, the magics offense is perhaps over shadowed by its versatility. Through his fire Manna can recover faster from wounds, fortify his body against harm, empower himself physically and perhaps most impressively; imbue others with similar abilities. Tho unable to heal or buff others Manna can bestow his other abilities onto a person in a limited capacity. He has also found that while he is able to manipulate conventional flames, the degree to which he is able to alter a normal fire's properties vastly differs from the degree to which he can affect his own. For example while Manna can manipulate the intensity, temperature, and form a conventional fire takes, he is not able to bestow it with magical properties such as healing or strengthening. These abilities are strictly reserved for the fire he creates. All flames generated by Manna also take on an abnormal color, flickering between hues of purple, pink, and red, which can be a somewhat telling sign that this magic is being used.
