They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home.
Name: Sephyr de’Oraelis Power Source: Fire Elemental: Dragon Gang Affiliation: Cerberus Age: 22 Birth Date: 11th of December Occupation: Owner of Dusk Residence: Condominium Towers
Physique: Sephyr is everything that one might expect to find in a former dancer. She is a little more athletic than curvaceous and a little on the thin side, one side effect of running a too warm, fast metabolism. At 5’10” tall she can stand out in a crowd, and if that were not enough her length of deep crimson hair and golden eyes suggest she is anything but ‘normal’.
Personality: In a word, Sephyr is passionate. She has an opinion about everything and everyone, though she usually keeps it to herself. She also exerts more self control than one would otherwise expect, highly intelligent, confident, rational, calculating and fiercely loyal. She is, if anything, extremes. If Sephyr comes to believe in something, that belief is absolute.
Personal History: Born to a prominent French politician, Sephyr’s life was isolated, kept from the public eye at great financial expense. She grew up in various secluded chateaus around Europe, tutored in history, arts and literature, though never staying in one place very long. Great care was taken so she knew nothing of her heritage and birthright until her early teens. However, when the truth came to light, it was beyond what anyone had expected. Her father’s elemental legacy was born in his daughter in the form of a true phoenix. She was able to shift between a physical and pure elemental state, but at great cost. The first time she shifted almost killed the adolescent, expanding more energy than she could control and nearly burning out from it.
As the girl became a woman, a life of seclusion and running was not an appealing one, instead she found her way to Niwa. It was, after all, the only city on earth where she could blend in and vanish.
Gifts / Skills / Abilities / Powers
Elemental Form
Sephyr is capable of shifting between her physical state and that of a full elemental essence. The elemental form is not limited to shape, only rough size, though she prefers to take on a feline shape in closed spaces or a phoenix in the open, which would also grant flight. The transformation itself creates a violent firestorm. The shift is also time limited by the ambient temperature. Maintaining a full elemental form during the middle of a hot summer day is something she could sustain for an hour or more. While the freezing cold dead of winter, would see her burning out within as few as five or ten minutes. Both the Phoenix and the Fire Cat forms are close to Sephyr in mass. The Cat would be close to mountain lion proportions while the Phoenix would have a wingspan up to 6meters (18 feet) wide.
Firestorm
Is the ability that always precedes shifting from physical to elemental states. The Firestorm is a violent eruption that would harm, burn or kill anyone within a 5 meter radius when she shifted – friend or foe. The Firestorm only occurs when she shifts. Also flames caused by Firestorm would be considered natural, but unless they came into contact with a flammable material, the effect would burn out at the end of the transformation.
Burning Out
Every fire has its life expectancy, and Sephyr is no different. Her powers and physical both will give out when that energy is expended. If she was in full elemental form she will return to her physical state by default, but reaching that stage will leave her weakened, unconscious or possibly near death.
Immolation
Sephyr is able to set any flammable material alight at a touch, the flames becoming natural for the sake of her fire mastery. This effect would be an uncontrollable aura in elemental form and contact with any flammable substance would result in natural fire.
Fire Mastery
Any natural flame will bend to her will within a reasonable distance, ten to fifteen meter. Providing that it has the fuel and oxygen to burn she can control it indefinitely with little to no conscious thought.
Fire Born
Being of an elemental nature, she is physically immune to all forms of fire and heat.
Molten State
Sephyr is able to reduce most metal items or objects to a molten mass with prolonged contact. The denser the item the longer it takes to melt.
Items/Equipment: Sephyr tries not to get attached to flammable objects.
Additional Information: None at this time.
Introduction RP:
The base reverberated through the very air of the nightclub, it was so loud she could barely make out more than the repetitious beat. Which was exactly why she was there. The deafening roar, the press of bodies on the dance floor... the beat! It was impossible to think of anything else. Only she was not on the dance floor anymore, she was elevated above it on her own podium. A ‘gift’ the bouncer, who had waved her in for her third night in a row, had claimed. She had played this game before, first it was drinks on the house, then a stage. She knew the owner’s invitation was coming, if only he behaved himself... or herself. Sephyr had not bothered to ask before deciding on that particular night time destination.
As though on cue, the very same bouncer was standing before her platform, holding a hand out to help her down. She politely slipped her hand into his, allowing him to guide her through the throng. His path took them past the Dj and the Nightclub proper to a private lounge. At least here the music was definable as music. The man who caught her eye as she entered sat in the midst of four women, attractive in their own right but none held a candle to Sephyr. A lifetime of sophistication was not dismissed so easily as she stood before him, eyed over like a some kind of treat.
“What brings you to my nightclub?” The man purred at her, the other women turning to glare at the red haired temptress. And tempting she was, her crimson hair was unbound, cascading over her slender shoulders in soft curls, her golden eyes regarded the man across from her with complete indifference. Her dress was too elegant to be considered provocative, but it was revealing enough. Her height was made even more predominant by a pair of 3” heels. It was no accident. She was almost of a height with the bouncer, who still stood beside her.
“I am here.” Sephyr stated in her charmingly accented tone. “Because you want to offer me employment.” Across from her the man raised his eyebrows, the glass halting on the way to his lips.
“Is that so?” He challenged with a chuckle, the woman around him chiming into his joke with almost practiced timing.
“Indeed.” Sephyr informed him, managing to brush her hair behind her shoulder and draw his eyes down the length of her figure all in one. “We can pretend for the next hour that you don’t want me, that you haven’t wanted me from the moment I walked in your door. But we both know it will be a lie. I want to dance and you want me reminding your patrons why they come here. When you decide on exactly how much I will be worth to you, I’ll be down on the floor.” Sephyr did not even wait for a response. She graced him with a satisfied smile before she turned to show herself back to the main club.
Oath: I, Sephyr de’Oraelis, promise to always beg forgiveness rather than ask permission.

Approved, have fun!

Explanation: It was a part of her original character application linked to a metal manipulation ability that was discarded. I would love to see her retain the ability to smelt someone's favorite gun, even if she can't do anything with it afterwards.
