House Igneus are true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where they’re out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, they are perfectly capable of this. Rather, it’s that they use aesthetics, design and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. House Igneus enjoy upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behavior – chances are, they’ve expressed more than once the phrase "Don’t box me in!"
They live in a colorful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. House Igneus take joy in reinterpreting these connections, reinventing and experimenting with both themselves and new perspectives. No other type explores and experiments in this way more. This creates a sense of spontaneity, making them seem unpredictable, even to their close friends and loved ones.

House Igneus live to find ways to push their passions. Riskier behaviors like gambling and extreme sports are more common here than with others. Fortunately, their attunement to the moment and their environment allows them to do better than most. They also enjoy connecting with others, and have a certain irresistible charm, always knowing just the compliment to soften a heart that’s getting ready to call their risks irresponsible or reckless.
However, if a criticism does get through, it can end poorly. Some can handle kindly phrased commentary, valuing it as another perspective to help push their passions in new directions. But if the comments are more biting and less mature, House Igneus can lose their tempers in spectacular fashion.

House Igneus are sensitive to others’ feelings and value harmony. When faced with criticism, it can be a challenge for people to step away from the moment long enough to not get caught up in the heat of the moment. But living in the moment goes both ways, and once the heightened emotions of an argument cool, they can usually call the past the past and move on as though it never occurred.

The biggest challenge facing House Igneus is planning for the future. Finding constructive ideals to base their goals on and working out goals that create positive principles is no small task. Unlike some, House Igneus don’t plan their futures in terms of assets and retirement. Rather, they plan actions and behaviors as contributions to a sense of identity, building a portfolio of experiences, not stocks.

If these goals and principles are noble, they can act with amazing charity and selflessness – but it can also happen that people within House Igneus establish a more self-centered identity, acting with selfishness, manipulation and egoism. House Igneus use their strengths to pursue whatever they’ve come to love.

The Igneus hide deep in burning volcanoes absorbing the heat coming from its core. Join them if you have a burning desire to serve your clan in battle as a swift, hot-headed warrior.

## Other Houses

House Igneus believes in actions, not words, but they are a laid back and spontaneous group. They tend to get along best with House Dynami and House Gryffindor, who share their love for adreneline rushes.

House Igneus' relaxed, non-judgmental attitudes make it easy for them to get along with others, but it’s not always the same way around. The more judgmental or demanding Houses such as House Glacius, House Lucian and House Yaksha would be hard pressed to get along with House Igneus.
