Name: Joshua Fischer
Age: 25 years
Sex: Male
Species: Human
Ethnicity: Mixed; Connlaothian & Serenian
Height: 5'7"
Occupation: Migrant Blacksmith
Residence: Connlaoth
Physical DescriptionJoshua is small, delicate by the standards of his peers. However, his small frame belies his wiry, lean muscle, built by his career of metal working from an early age. A head of lightweight, brown-black hair helps to reinforce his status as an outsider, though a pair of pale gray eyes indicates some Connlaothian heritage. His grey eyes are set deep, obscured in the shadow of a pair of prominent eyebrows, giving him the look of a man deep in thought.
His features seem almost fae, with a narrow nose, jaw and lips. However, his Serenian heritage is controversial given his career (controversy he fully dismisses due to the widespread use of iron products throughout Serendipity).
When it comes to fashion, he favors simple wool tunics and leggings, closely fitted to save on resources. When needed, he also dons a heavy woolen cloak to ward against the cold while traveling. He is not fond of leather, given its extravagant cost and lack of utility; such materials are best suited for belts and shoes.
PersonalityFrom a distance, Joshua appears to be a nervous sort of character, the type of person who sits in the corner, one foot always primed for a sprint. His tension makes him hyper vigilant, making it difficult to ambush him. However, this tension makes it difficult to trust people, leading to a life of solitude and secrecy.
Magic Abilities- Pyroturgy - Literally "Fire Working." What he lacks in raw power, Joshua more than makes up for in adaptability. He mainly uses it to add heat to his iron works, though he can use it for self-defense by setting nearby combustibles alite.
- Pyromancy - Literally "Fire Divination." Joshua's affinity for fire and heat gives him the ability to sense it in the world around him; both, to gauge the quality of his work as well as detecting living threats by their heat signature.
- Iron Immunity - It is unknown whether or not Joshua is part Serenian; however, even if he were, he would not be vulnerable to iron. The Serenian distinction between "iron" and "steel" is purely memetic, both absent from other cultures and largely imperceptible to his pyromancy.
- Pyrophagy - Literally "Fire Eating." The ability to absorb fire and heat from the world around him; this gives him an unnatural immunity to the harm that fire and heat can cause, effectively making him immune to burns.
- Metallurgy - Metal Working; Though he heavily relies on his magic to support his craft, Joshua is still a highly competent iron worker in his own right.
