Codename: Conflagration
Civilian Identity: Brandeis Johann Lorenz
Nicknames: Blaze, Hot-head, Brandie (hates this one with a burning passion), Deis, Johann
Gender: Male (Which is why he hates the[in his opinion] feminine nickname Brandie)
//Description
Age: 16
Apparent age:19
Hair: He has shaggy, black hair that falls into his face. There are some days he does spike his hair up, but generally he leaves it alone.
Eyes: He has pretty amber colored eyes.
Height and weight: Brandeis has a medium build and is 5’11. He’s rather tall and weighs 156 lbs.
Appearance: Brandeis is a tall kid with shaggy black hair that always falls into his deep amber eyes. He has a burn around his right eye and cheek, a burn on the left side of his jaw, and another burn on the right side of his neck, going to his shoulder. He normally wears a tee shirt, a hoodie and a pair of blue jeans while he’s acting as a civilian. His costume is a dark black suit with red and gold flames on it. It’s fireproof, and so is his mask, which covers most of his face. He wears fire proof goggles over his eyes, and his red gloves and boots are fire proof as well.
//Abilities: Meta and Natural
Meta Abilities
Pyrokinesis: Has the ability to create and manipulate fire.
Natural Abilities
Pyrotechnics: Does well with fireworks, can’t create them, but he’s no idiot with them.
Bomb building: He can build a bomb, not his favorite hobby, but he’s learned how to make them.
Equipment: Bomb building equipment. He’d be an idiot to go anywhere without it. Yes…it’s fire proof. Pre-made bombs in a fire/heat proof pouch. First aid kit specializing in burns: He needs it…
Origin of Abilities: CADMUS experiment
//Weaknesses
Limited control: He can create flames no problem, but controlling them is a whole other story! He can’t control a flame bigger than a small campfire…a small fire. Because of this, he accidentally set a small ware house on fire…well…two or three of them. There were no casualties, but severe burns to himself, and someone else.
Angrophobia: He’s absolutely TERRIFIED of going into a rage out of fear he would kill everyone with an uncontrollable burst of flames. He’ll actually run away at the slightest notion of losing even the smallest amount of control.
Atychiphobia: Because of his fear of his own anger, he will not tolerate losing things lightly. He needs perfection with himself because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone again.
Chemophobia: He has slight case of chemophobia, considering that’s what started the ware house fire. He was a little mad, and on his way out the door he got a little too close to a certain chemical and BOOOOOOM!
Dystychiphobia: Again…he set three ware houses on fire….by accident. He nearly burned someone to death…on accident. The guy doesn’t like accidents! He hates them, and fears he’ll create more accidents.
Iatrophobia/ Nosocomephobia/ Pharmacophobia/ Tomophobia/ Trypanophobia: I’m going to group these together and say, he’s scared shitless of doctors, hospitals, medicines/drugs, surgery, and injections, anything medically involved.
//Personalty
Brandeis is a psychological wreck. After being experimented on, he developed phobias of doctors and hospitals. He’s a perfectionist who needs to have order. He’s a little stiff, but he’s really a good guy. His fear of anger, accidents, and chemicals is purely his desire to keep everything in control so he doesn’t harm anyone.
Once Brandeis is a friend, he’s always a friend. He’s bitterly loyal towards the people who try to understand him. Those who reach out towards him will always be considered his allies and his friends. He can seem very distant, but because of his lack of control he tries to push people away. After nearly killing his best friend in a fire, Deis can’t stand to see anyone in pain, or have anyone close.
Brandeis has unlimited patience considering his condition. He doesn’t take kindly to people harming others, and will risk his life to save the people who matter the most to him. But when Deis is angry, watch out! He can barely control himself and needs to be talked out of it before he explodes in flames. He is afraid of burns because he himself can get burned by his own fire. His lack of control is what allows him to get burned. He panics and doesn’t think about protecting is skin, so that’s why his entire body is covered by his costume.
//Background
Brandeis Johann Lorenz was born on July 23 to Gretel and Hans Lorenz, who were of German decent. It is unknown if he had any siblings because as a young child, probably three in age, was kidnapped at a local fair. He was taken to a top secret facility (CADMUS) where he was experimented on. Deis doesn’t remember a lot of it, but can remember fragments of it. He remembers the antiseptic smell and the operating table. He associates them with doctors and hospitals, in which his fears had developed. At the age of twelve, there was an accident, in which Deis was able to escape.
Deis, who barely knew who he was, ran and ran until he met an old neighbor. Deis looked exactly like his father, so the woman believed he was his father Hans. When Deis expressed confusion, the woman tried to remind him of what happened. She told him about how they mysteriously disappeared after they received a tip on where they could find their baby boy. Deis shook his head in confusion. The woman than realized if he wasn’t Hans, he must be Brandeis! She taught him what little he knows about his family and his origins.
It wasn’t until the woman’s house burned down, that Deis realized he had a super power. He was able to get the old lady out of the flames, but his entire body was on fire. The firemen tried to put him out but couldn’t put that little boy out! He ran away that day. He ran until he met Rodger Clemms. Rodger was a bomb-building expert and a runaway himself. Rodger and Deis hung out until he caught the ware house on fire. Rodger had been working with a large amount of lithium compound when he made a crack about Deis’s family.
Deis was calmly making his way out of the ware house, his body heating up, when suddenly the lithium ignited. Deis managed to drag Rodger out, giving him and Rodger third degree burns. After the second fire, Deis told Rodger they couldn’t be friends anymore. Deis didn’t want to see him hurt, and chose to go solo. At least alone, the only person he could burn was himself. He’d been on the run for a while and stopped to rest in another abandon ware house. The only problem was that apparently it belonged to someone else. Deis was awoken by a screaming man, demanding to know what he was doing there. Startled, Deis’s body went up in flames…and unfortunately the building followed. Deis saved the man, caring for him with a first aid kit he carried around with him.
Deis was found by Loretta McKay. She was able to provide him with the fire proof fabric and goggles. He was forever grateful to the woman who was trying to protect him. She didn’t scream at him when he burned the carpet. Instead she talked to him and told him he needed to relax. It was the first time Brandeis ever felt accepted in his life. He eventually left Loretta, fearing for her safety after nearly setting the curtains on fire.
He took up the name Conflagration and began to fight for the better good. He did it mainly in secret, going into burning buildings to save people, and attempting to control fires before they grew too large for him to handle.
