Blaze

Blaze is the protagonist of *Prodigy of the Elements: Indignation*, an upcoming action RPG by Sauce. He is a 17-year old fire elemental from the planet Pyro. Blaze plays an all-rounder class, but specializes in counters and attacking. He's a big fan of Tacorita's, and has gone out of his way to become Caliente's best customer! He's usually out cracking jokes or mocking villains, but his temper does get in the way sometimes. His biggest weakness is his anger, but it's also his greatest strength. Depending on the scenario, it could either save his life or ruin a relationship. If only Blaze were more careful...

## Backstory

Blaze had always wanted to be a pilot. Since he was a little kid, he loved seeing planes fly over the skies of Pyro. When his mother passed, Blaze's father decided that he wanted to connect with him by taking pilot lessons alongside him. The two were great together. Although Blaze was the youngest in his class and his father was the oldest, their bond could not be broken. They were united under a shared interest: flight.

As Blaze tends to act without thinking, he answers the teacher's questions before anyone else can. He blurts constantly, and is generally much more outgoing than the other students. He has a tendancy to act more passionately to situations than anyone else. One student, Char, hates the way that he does this. He keeps it to himself for a few months, but he couldn't help himself from gossiping about him to the other classmates. It catches on to hate Blaze because of that. Everyone begins to treat Blaze differently during school, all except for his father and one curious student. Kindel was a sweet boy. He saw the best in him. He wasn't the nicest, either, but he respected Blaze nonetheless. The two do not become friends as Kindel had wanted, but they do form a mutual respect for one another.

It wasn't until Blaze took a round-trip across the galaxy with his father that Blaze started to fall behind in lessons. The stress of trying to stop being hated combined with the stress of catching up to current studies begins to weigh on Blaze. He *hates* this. All of this leading up to one fateful day. It was a day unlike any other, for it was the first Master's Minion attack on his planet. Evacuation ensued, and he and his class rushed to a nearby cave. A stray blast knocks rubble in front of the entrance, creating a cave-in right before Blaze's father could get inside. He rushes to get out, but another boulder falls right onto his left arm. Kindel tries to pull him out, but Blaze tries to get through. He has to save his father. The stress has built up so much that finally he snaps. Enraged, he forces his arm out of the rubble and pushes Kindel to the ground. With his working hand, he picks up Kindel by the neck and swings him so hard into the wall that his skull caves in instantly, killing him. With this newfound strength he explodes through the rock wall and rushes to help his father, but it was too late. He was nothing more than a pile of ash on the ground.

His act of malice spreads around, and soon nobody likes Blaze. They're disgusted by him. With this hatred within him, he swears to never stop fighting until he stops the Master's Minions once and for all.
