Phoenix
The Phoenix are a race that exist in two worlds, one that is fire and the power that comes with it and the other is that of a mortal with the power of fire at their command. Originally the Phoenix were fire elementals given a pleasing shape by the fire dragons as a way to assist them in their duties but about the time that dragons came to Yalanze (1000 CE), the Phoenix split off from their masters and formed their own species.
Phoenix live an odd half life. They can be forged in the fires of volcanoes or born when two of their kind choose to mate in the air or, a Phoenix may live as a human for a span of time and procreate in the normal human way. In any case, the birth of a Phoenix is a rare and beautiful thing and one that no Yalanzen has seen thus far.
Phoenix powers shift and change throughout their lifetimes. Like the fires they come from a Phoenix is anything but constant. Their power base is contingent on whether they are in their fire form or human form predominantly. The phoenix people are generally not found in coastal areas due to the fact that the water vapor found in the air hinders their powers.
Basic Phoenix Powers:
- Flame Burst (Teleportation) – The ability to teleport from place to place via a burst of flame.
- Pyrokinesis – Control over the element of fire. Since this is inherently what a phoenix is made of they can use to with skill and accuracy. This can be used to increase their size in their fire form but it does not increase their mass in human form.
- Form Shifting (To human form) – The ability to transform from the natural phoenix state to that of a human being. This rebirth can be exhausting and leave them vulnerable to attack.
- Flight (In Phoenix form only) -- The ability to fly through the air in the native phoenix form.
- Primal Screech – The ability to summon other phoenix when one is in trouble. This tone can injure those who have sensitive hearing.
