Name: Basil Wright
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Physical:
A tall man in appearance. He appears stretched, with long legs body and arms, and no muscle or fat to build up the middle to appear normal sized. His fingers are long, but now rough from small burns that only get layered with more burns. Eventually, they could all heal, if they had the chance. On other parts of his body, especially his back around the shoulder blades, there are burns as well. The parts of him that are not burned are soft and fair and show no hard labor. Some of his thinness has resulted from malnutrition and starvation. Which causes some weakness.
The most predominate part of Basil his his green eyes which is how his parents dubbed him a herbal name. His hair is naturally black, and is long. however, he dyed the tips a faded blond and it is more heat resistant then the rest of his hair due to being in close contact with fire constantly. The back of his neck near his hair line has serious burns that impedes hair growth(main reason his hair is long in the back and never pulled up high).
His wardrobe is very bizarre, never has he worn what others wear. His most worn outfit is the 'fancy' look. Nice black pants, spit shined shoes, a button up white shirt with a black string tied around the neck, and a black vertical lined vest. If he feels like really standing out he wears a giant black tattered top hat with horns growing out from the band. The horns are thin and mostly fake due to breaking.
Personality:
Basil is very diligent and stubborn. If someone says don't do it, he will do it even more. As long as it is logical, dangerous, and not illegal. Because of this he became a pyromaniac. Even when times are hard or it seems like a failed point he sticks with it. This also results to him being a very sore loser.
Like most guys, Basil is attracted to the girls, especially the pretty girls. But he is kind to all, even the ugly. Though, as a part con man, he uses them to sell cosmetics that have a good chance of... not working.
All together, Basil is a kind man. And is soft on children that is having hard times due to his own experiences. He spends any spare money he has on making candies.
History(opt):
The Wright family was a family of four... of three, that was suppose to be four. Basil was the youngest of two sons. Basil was a premature child and because of complications in child birth his mother died while in child birth. He was always put at fault for their mother's death by his big brother.
When it comes to comparing Basil to his bother they were the exact opposite. His brother was short and muscular, Basil was small and thin. When it came to sports Basil always came back with bruises or bleeding and his brother was completely fine. Fights were even worse, and every time Basil threw the first punch.
Because he never could do sports, he didn't get along too well with the other boys of the town. So he went to teasing the young girls, with spiders and worms and the occasional rat or mouse if he was lucky to snare one. And when he became older he couldn't do much work around the town, other than watch the shops when the owners do errands, or do errands for the shop keepers.
But his life changed when the family house burned down, with him as the only surviver. Basil's hair was always on the longer side, though never as long as it is now. The biggest burn he received was when his hair caught fire and he didn't get it put out till it started burning his scalp.
After that, he became obsessed with fire... And studied in the only effective way of creating it quickly. Alchemy. No one in that city ever saw him talk to another human again.
Only when he was able to control the fire from transmutation circles on his palms did he suddenly disappear.
