Comaetho

The Roman Republic (509 BC – 27 BC). Magic exists, but is rare enough to come across that it is discarded as superstition rather than a living force. The gods are a well-forged belief, that by the presence and actions of the seemingly impossible, often prove their existence true.

The world is moving at a satisfactory pace. Imperial rule is on the horizon following the soon-to-be death of Julius Caesar. While to mortals it will shake the foundations of their current society, to other beings which function outside of their perspectives, it is prescient knowledge. Cruel, wicked hypocrites, the gods. Priding themselves in their divinity whilst committing subconsciously human decisions they consider beneath them. Blind to their own inevitable undoing. The funk of word spread by mouth and the forces in the air have drawn in many from the depths of Mount Olympus' shadow. A time to scourge and befoul what is to befell, and spread ruin in the earth and hearts. - Comaetho's affinity with fire grants him immunity to being scorched or burnt by it. Instead, if such a thing is to occur, it will empower him. He can apply his heat manipulation to anything, and can allow it to reach temperatures hundreds of thousands of degrees. However, Comaetho cannot manipulate fire itself. Instead, he can siphon its heat, or disperse it using his teleportation. - Divinity Comaetho, or someone of his ancestry, has stolen a supply of ambrosia from Olypmus. However, ingesting it does not make Comaetho a god. Instead, the ambrosia bestows to him his divine beauty, hundreds of years upon his life (but not quite immortality), and traces of ichor within his blood. The reason it is not fully ichor is due to Comaetho not having ingested it for the millennia the gods have. - Relationship with fire Comaetho becomes fire momentarily when he teleports. If he wishes, he can move solely as fire, completely shapeless; though, if he does this, cannot technically teleport. In this form he cannot be physically harmed by anything, and cannot physically interact with anything either (aside from burning it). He cannot remain in this form for any longer than a few seconds, allowing him only to use it sparingly. The transformation and withholding the form do not cost him any strain- rather, the consequence is magical in that he is tied to being a physical being and this form is a temporary escape from that. Being purely fire, Comaetho can shift around with unbounded agility and seamless fluidity through the air, and even the tiniest of cracks. Comaetho can charge manifesting into flame before the transformation. This means that it can be used to increase the "flash" effect that surrounds him. At a maximum charge of being held for several seconds, the subsequent flash will become a brilliant explosion that erupts in a devastating, circular wave. Comaetho will become the explosion itself, then coalesce back into his physical form immediately after. By charging the effect, he cannot teleport. He can only teleport if it is uncharged.
