## Character Bio

### Appearance

Flamethrower is an average-sized orange anthropomorphic *Charmander*. He resembles a reptile such as a lizard, but he especially can be said to resemble salamanders due to *Charmander's* name having the world "salamander" in it. A light orange diamond sharped marking can be seen on Flamethrower's forehead along with a long row of yellow circular bumps which goes all the way from his forehead and down to his tail. Next to the marking on his forehead are dark orange spots. He has a heart-shaped nostrils similar to Flora the Bulbasaur, and also similar to her he has two fangs protruding from his mouth, and they're still seen when his mouth is shut.

Two dark orange spots the same color as the one next to the light orange mark are located on his cheeks. Flamethrower has a yellow stomach, his hands and feet have claws, although the claws on his feet are white unlike the ones on his hand. Flamethrower has a long tail with a light orange underside, the most noticeable thing however is that at the tip of the tail is red, orange and yellow-colored fire. This fire is actually his life source as it can also express his health and emotions. The flame becomes larger and heats up more when enraged.

### Pokédex (Character Bio)

Flamethrower's power/type is **Fire**. He's very playful as he always seen interreacting and playing with other character. However while playing he may of course lit other things on fire due to his fire tail, he could also either burn his victims or burn them to death, it depends if Fire normally damages them, if they're weak to it or immune to it, in which cause they won't be burned at all. Flamethrower is shown to be adventurous and is easily amazed by most thing, sometimes he may go into positions or situations that could go terribly wrong with fire involved. For example, if there were poison gas all over the area spread around in the air by a **Poison**-type Pokémon and he were to walk into the area out of curiosity. Every single thing and everyone in that mentioned area will be burned to dust due to the poison gas would turn into fire. Flamethrower can run very quickly, but while running his tail may lower down, causes the fire to lead a long big trail of slowly-growing fire.

Flamethrower is very protective over the fire on his tail tip and may actually show a rare sign of aggressive and hostility when one gets too close to it. He's aware that the fire burning on his tail is his life source, therefore meaning he'll protect it at any cause meaning he'll actually attack and fight others who attempt to extinguish it for whatever reason. When it rains he takes shelter under any thing protecting him from the millions of water drips falling onto his body, especially his tail. Sometimes he's shown to get angry, when angered the flame on his tail grows brighter and larger, this could be an issue considering the fact that due to his curious personality he often gets into situations involving a lot of other characters. If he were to become enraged in that scenario, everyone around him would be severely burnt or killed.

## Relationships

### Flora the Bulbasaur

They're both great friends and play with each other a lot. However Flamethrower seems to not really notice the fact that he's never allowed around Flora's garden due to her worrying that he'll burn all her plants down.

### Squirt the Squirtle

He's friends with him, but since Squirt sometimes goes around bullying others along with his Squirtle Squad is what makes Flamethrower not very fond of him.

## Trivia

* Flamethrower being curious and easily amazed by thing is based on how *Charmander's* expression in the official *Pokémon* artwork which depicts it in an amazed, curious and playful emotion.
* He's named after the Fire-type Pokémon move, and is one of the few Pokémon characters to actually be named after Pokémon moves.
