Firebird

*Phoenix "Firebird" Thomson hails from the Land Down Under, the same as certain other 'Stormers in the Festival. He first joined MotorStorm during the time when it was being held in the outback. Having actually done some off-roading several times in the outback, Firebird proved himself to be a pretty good driver. When it comes to raging through the dirt and dust, he is not to be underestimated! Returning for the Festival on Pandrosia, he'll show his rivals that he's got what it takes.*
*"I'll be leavin' ya to eat more than just my dust when I'm through with ya!" - Firebird*

**Firebird** is an OC created by JustAlex93 for The Cherrybomber's fanon universe.

He's a pretty chill guy once you get to know him, but on the track, you'd best hope that he doesn't wreck you. If someone does manage to bring him down, he'll rise again! When he goes off-roading (outside of racing, of course), he feels like he could just leave his worries behind.

Asides from being an off-roading enthusiast, he also has a nose for surf lifesaving, having watched the *Uncle Moby's Cool Conference* competition on TV when he was a kid. Sometime after the Outback Festival, Firebird founded a sort of unofficial surf lifesaving team among the 'Stormers.
