Blaze

Blaze is a recurring character in Fable Flees the Coop & one of Omen's subordinates.

## Blaze

#### Creation & Conceptualization

Blaze is based off of Magma Admin Blaise from Pokemon Adventures' RSE & ORAS arcs. He is not intended to be Blaise as a talking animal, only shares a name with him & has a different demeanor entirely. Blaise only serves as inspiration for the furry.

Blaze was created almost out of nowhere, in September 2022. I knew I wanted him to be yellow, but wasn't sure where to take the design. He ended up becoming a golden tabby.

He was originally intended to be Omen's boyfriend & third wheel of their group, but this didn't end up really working.

#### Basic Information

Blaze is 5'4", 25 years old, & has no recorded weight. He is shown to be pretty bashful & shy. He doesn't like to be forward & assertive, & would rather act as a third wheel. He is pretty similar to Kaile for these reasons, except Kaile is more bossy & more assertive than Blaze ever could be. He is friendly, sure, but it takes him a while to open up.

###### Biology + design notes

Blaze is golden, with darker ombres on his arms & legs. He has a few tabby stripes on his arms & legs, & the tips of his paws are white. He has dark pawpads. His horns don't point upward nor do they curl.

#### Biography

Blaze met Omen by pure chance, in a supermarket of all places. Blaze was originally a Hive trainee, & Omen took note of this, offering him a spot in her & Habit's group. It took Blaze a while to consider, but he ended up joining, as the thought of becoming a Hive soldier scared him.

Omen took a liking to Blaze, as she'd been feeling lonely ever since Limbo left. Blaze didn't want anything to do with her romantically, as she was still pretty young. This made Omen very angry, & she took the liberty to start mistreating him, too. Blaze had been closer with Habit anyways.

Blaze stood behind when Omen confronted Fable. He refused to fight, & Harvey took notice of this & used it to his advantage. Omen also noticed this, & ordered her trio to back off before the coywolf could hurt her precious subordinate. After this confrontation, Omen scolded Blaze, telling him he had to toughen up if he wanted to stay in her gang. Blaze took liberty to do so, coming to Habit to see if he could help him toughen himself up.

At the end of FFTC, Blaze had toughened up, & took part in the fight against the Hive. He grappled with Braise before Habit ended up hauling him out a window. Blaze also took down many Hive guards & soldiers. When the dust settled, Omen praised the little tabby very highly, & even gave him a stolen medal, stating it was a personal medal of honor.

#### Post-FFTC

Blaze split apart from his friends after FFTC. He stated he loved them both very much, but their intentions just weren't for him anymore. He was the first to leave the group, & left for Dreles to seek work.

#### Traits & abilities

Blaze is very masterful in close combat. Once he learned how to, he was shown to get up in his opponents' faces & take them out by the head. He isn't very strong, but is strong enough for his build. Other than this, Blaze has no magical powers, & is not a magical entity.
