## Powers and Abilities

Pantaro has a lot of skills from mastering all fighting forms he's come across to his Fire Aether.

**Physical Prowess**

From a young age Pantaro has been learning and mastering martial arts. With this training his speed and agility have surpassed the norm by a sizeable margin. With this prowess he has developed multiple counters and submissions that can mangle people however he wants.

**The Bull & Wolves**

Due to his deep connection with nature, Pantaro has learned how to conjure animals from his Fire aether. He has developed two main techniques based on what he deems most useful. The first technique is the bull; typically conjured in secret, the bull then charges and rams the foe, flinging them in the air and sending them a good distance away. The second technique are the wolves; serving as a pack to keep Pantaro safe, the pack is about 4-6 full sized wolves. The pack is a perfect balance of defense and offence, using both their speed and aggression to help him out.

**Quadramand**

Pantaro can form two arms of fire under his real arms, spanning half his arm's length, making his reach farther than his normal. With this ability he can also hold smaller things, such as an extra pair of tonfas. Anything larger would take too much energy to maintain.

**Fire-Fighting**

Pantaro can use flames to enhance his moveset. Examples include putting people in chokeholds and setting his arm on fire, or kicking people and leaving a burn mark.

**The Last Hoorah**

Nearing the end of a long battle Pantaro can conjure a large bestial anomaly that covers his whole body. This beast is around 13 feet, appearing as a dark red raging fire emanating from Pantaro. His movement is limited whilst covered by the anomaly, however, he is nearly untouchable due to the intensity of the beast. The beast can then go on a rampage destroying everything around it. However, he can control the beast as it is formed from his aether.

## Weapon:

**Tonfas**

Tonfas are Pantaro's weapons of choice, as well as the first ones he ever got his hands on. He also has bladed tonfas.

## Equipment

**Big Slime**

Big Slime is an aether beast that takes form as a large turtle that has a deep connection with Pantaro. Big Slime let Pantaro build everything he needs on his back.

## Backstory

As a child Pantaro was unordinary, being much larger than most kids around him in his youth. His parents could not keep up his needs for food, as they were poor village people. At the age of 5 he was given to an orphanage where he would spend the next 9 years. Pantaro spent his days outside the orphanage in the nearby woods. Due to being outside so much, he developed a love for animals and the outdoors. This lifestyle was simple and even manageable for him. However, one day on his trek in the woods, he heard stomping and felt earth tremors. He quickly sprinted to see what could be on the other side of the trees, emerging out of a brush to find a large turtle. At first he was in terror, thinking that he was the great beast's next meal. The turtle moved its head in close, and Pantaro cowered and closed his eyes, thinking he would be consumed. He waited for what felt like a whole lifetime, but nothing happened. Upon opening his eyes, he found that the turtle leaned his head in to be patted, and so Pantaro did. From that day on the two have been inseparable. Pantaro named the beast "Big Slime" because he thought it was funny. He began traveling with Big Slime right then and there, thinking no one from the orphanage would notice and knowing he had nothing there that was important to him. From there on he traveled and trained under every master of martial arts he could find. He chose to be a fighter because he knew he would need money and trusted his capabilities.
