Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Septima: Explosion=
A fairly common Septima. It's capable of manipulating thermal energy, typically by condensing it to form flame. Its much more versatile than one would think. Viper is capable of condense the flames into explosive bombs, enhancing his physical blows with fire, and even able to created platforms of heated air to jump off of.
|-|Notable Attacks=
*Fire Pillars: Viper creates fire pillars in the area as his opening move, preventing his foe from escaping, thus, creating a close quarters cage match of fire.
*Slide: Viper does a sliding kick, sometimes preforming multiple in a row.
*Angry Bombs: Viper shoots three explosive orbs of fire.
*Unicorn Drop: Viper somehow jumps off of the fire pillars, raining down Angry Bombs on his foe. Should he run into an enemy, he will kick off of them like a wall.
**Volcanic Axe: Viper preforms an axe kick out of Unicorn Drop.
**Feint Assault: Viper uses Unicorn Drop like normal, then proceeds to jump directly at his foe and fire three Angry Bombs point blank.

*Refulgence: Viper jumps into his fire pillars back and fourth, before jumping out over his foe as a massive ball of fire. He then proceeds to shoot countless small fireballs at his foe. This attack is very difficult to dodge.
