Physical Description
In his human form, Mal is a tall, lanky young man with fair and freckled skin and a mop of messy scarlet hair shot through with streaks of gold. His eyes are gold as well, though a much brighter shade.

As a firebird, Mal is about the size of a small dragon with the general shape of a bird of prey. His feathers are mostly shades of red and orange edged in gold, lightening more toward yellow on his tail and the tips of his wings.

Personality
Mal has a happy nature, if a bit easily distracted. He’s eager to please and likes people, but also has a bit of a temper. In a lot of ways, the best word to describe him is simply “young”.

Magic/Abilities
Mal has all the magical abilities any other member of his kind would possess, but he’s never really learned to use them- mostly because he doesn’t actually know he has them. He is aware of and has some control over basic fire magic however.

Due to his heritage, his upbringing, and a few other accidents of magic that have affected him throughout his life, Mall has a bit of an odd quirk to his lifespan: like all firebirds, he doesn’t “die”—he is reborn. How we, unlike many of his kind, rather than relive his entire life from childhood to adulthood, when Mal’s physical form is consumed and reborn in fire, he is left in his true form: that of the Phoenix. He will keep this bird shape for years, until his power has grown strong enough for him to claim his human avatar again, but he will not regress in age or loose memories of his passes life.

Relationships
Family: Adrian Denan, Mal’s adoptive father, is a mage who found a rare treasure while exploring the Thunderblacks. What he at first took to be a dragon’s egg actually turned out to belong to a phoenix. He took it home and hatched it, placing a spell on the chick to bind him to his human form so he would be easier to raise and- hopefully- so his power wouldn’t become too much to handle.

Of course, he still hasn’t told Mal any of this…


History
Because he was spelled into his human form basically moments after he hatched, Mal has lived his whole life believing he is a human mage. He knows Adrian isn’t his real parent, but the man has been a good father to him and he loves him dearly.

He made friends easily growing up in the Serendipity Riverlands, but always had a bit of wanderlust. Now a grown man, he is chafing more and more under his “father’s” insistence that he shouldn’t set out on his own until he has better control of his powers.
