Fuego Firebrand is the god of flames and the concept of death and reincarnation. He is the husband of Questette Firebrand and the father of Felicia Firebrand. He is also well known for being the Grim Reaper and is the first and only director at the No Regrets Funeral Parlour. Being a part of the God Tiers, his role is that of divinity to many but he has many flaws that don't make him perfect. His main ability is to use any kind of fire in his disposal and is capable of ripping the soul out of anyone via his giant scythe. He's best at fighting while alongside Chikyū, Aqua and Vincent. Since they are all linked to the One.

## **Appearance**

Fuego is the largest of the dragon gods if one doesn't count the Grimdark in their well known corrupted form. His appearance is meant to resemble a calaverian, a rare species exclusive to his own family. Calaverians being humanlike creatures whos skins are a dark grey colour, having permanent face paint meant to resemble the ones seen on a calavera (their namesakes) and having skeleton arms that go from their hands up until their elbows. Regardless, Fuego still features scales near his whole body if he was exposed but normally it's seen on his forehead, with the only difference being that his face paint covers it's potentially red-ish hue. He is factually bald if one manages to even remove his hood and like all the dragons, he has yellow eyes but when he activates his alterrarge, his eyes become engulfed in flames. Finally, he has two thick and red dragon horns meant to resemble horns on a bull.

His attire is a extremely baggy black hooded outfit with red accents. In the center of his outfit, there's a pattern that's meant to resemble a spine that goes all the way down to his pelvis. As for the lower parts, he wears baggy black jeans with matching boots that have red cloths all around it. All in all, he is meant to look very intimidating, which suits his personality. What also suits his often intimidating appearance is the black smoke emanating from his lower body. Which tends to appear when he's about to reap a soul but does appear 24/7.

## **Personality**

What you see is pretty much what you get for Fuego. He is pretty much a brooding, stern and sometimes grumpy man. But he is shown to be calm, collective and understanding. And this is mostly due to the fact that he is a dragon god who is pretty much the only one who questions his immortality.

Having the ability to see restless souls, especially his own wife and daughter, really gave him a lot to think about. Which results in him knowing EVERY detail of how one person dies. Like how their colours become colourless when their soul has left their bodies or the mere fact it's impossible for them to pass on without his help. But despite everything, he isn't depressed. He just understands that death is just something that happens to mortals naturally but regardless, he wants to help those who have died. Hence he made the funeral parlour and is pretty much Wowlife's depiction of the grim reaper, gathering the innocent souls to the Godly Realm. But he doesn't forgive evil souls and he will banish them to the underworld. Even when he does this, he regrets doing this to evil spirits because the underworld is the Drowned Crypt, the Grimdark's realm. But if anything, he sees it as not a objective but as a means to a end, though this opinion can also be pointed towards his opinion on combat.

Even if negative emotions don't fill his mind as much, he still wonders what death is truly like because even if he knows everything about it, he still has yet to experience it.

### **Might of the Aether**

Fuego is the only one who pretty much uses everything that makes him a dragon god besides being immortal. Such as flight and fire breathing, with his very soul being that of never-ending flames.

### **Divine Firebending**

It's no surprise that Fuego's flames can scorch pretty much anything. His flames also resist water entirely and he can even infuse them with water like what he does to Aqua's Black Whirlpool.

* **The Dragon's Eternal Soul That Burns:** Fuego has many kinds of flames at his disposal. Regular flames, hell flames, blue flames and soul flames. Soul flames being part of his very soul that represents the soul of the One. Whether he fires these flames from his mouth or from his hands, it's no surprise that Fuego's flames can burn at a alarming rate and seems to go on forever until he disperses it himself. He can wrap himself up in a fire cloak that does injure him but it causes him to become stronger.
* **Whether Or Not You Survive Doesn't Mean You Won't Burn:** Infusing his scythe with fire, he slashes at his opponent and it causes their soul to ignite and burn up to the point where it affects them on the outside too. After this happens, Fuego reaches out and causes the burn to explode into a massive flame pillar and seriously wounds the opponent with burns and those who don't resist it will be incinerated from body and from their soul.

### **Nether Reaping**

Fuego is known for being a angel of death. And it's not surprise he is capable of handling one's soul to some degree besides guiding them to the afterlife.

* **Let The Flames Consume:** Faego has a tendency to grab onto his opponents for one reason. He janks their soul out of their body, ignites it with his firebending and slams it back into his opponent, causing it to detonate like a bomb. It's definitely one of his coolest attacks.
* **Beyond Reason, I Cannot Die:** Also referred to as the Nether Cloak, he disappears using his cloak. He then becomes ethereal for a couple of seconds and attacks with a lunge punch. Only people who can see souls, such as mampires, can see him when he is ethereal.

### **Aether Resonation**

A link that the dragon god's have with the one. If they are teamed up, they notably gain perks. Like gaining relics of the one. The flames of Fuego's own soul is dependent on this very power.

### **Alterrarge**

The alterrarge ability is a dragon's divine power that has been unleashed to it's perfect form; which is shown visually by the user's eyes glowing a bright colour. It also allows the users to look into the past and future, just by touching something. It's very handy for Fuego since he will figure out what killed the corpses he finds.

### **Ascension: The One Above Us All**

The dragon god's combined ascension where they create a projection of the one in the form of a huge warrior. The warrior has different colours around them to represent the relics of the one. Fuego's soul represents the very projection's body itself, also referred to as the soul of the one. It's believed that this projection is supposed to represent what the one actually looks like but this is untrue, as the one doesn't have a physical form.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

Fuego is one of the 5 dragon gods born within the Godly Realm. This was via a egg that hatched into the prime universe. Being the oldest physically, Fuego was by far the one who is the most sensible and still to this day, he's the only one who has control over his powers and hasn't disobeyed the One in any way.

One day, Chikyū came up with the idea of creating a whole new world for everyone to live in. Everyone was sceptical at first, mainly The Grimdark. But the One saw this as a start to creating a chapter for mortals. Chikyū ended up creating earth and many other planets and when the time was right, she and 4 other dragon gods would finally roam the unfamiliar realm. Fuego was quick to live among mortals mainly because it's the order given to him by the one. It's where he would find love via Questette, who is a calaverian, a species Fuego took the appearance of when he was created. Fuego was happy being where he is now and promised to never leave.

Years pass and Fuego would marry Questette and have a daughter named Felicia. But one day, tragedy struck when Questette became the first ever mortal to die. She died due to a accidentally killing herself with a axe. Fuego went looking for Questette only to see her corpse on the ground. Fuego became so upset that he burst into flames, burning down the shed where he found Questette. Chikyū sensed this and went to where Fuego is. She looks in horror as Fuego is seen moving out of the shed, carrying Questette's now singed corspe. Aqua, Vincent and The Grimdark also arrive and see that the corpse turned grey as Questette's soul exited her body. Fuego was surprised to see his wife as a ghost but he knew the meaning of death and knew that he had a new duty given to him by the One as soon as he touched Questette's corpse, causing his Alterrarge to activate. After Fuego and the other Dragon Gods mourn over their lost, Fuego guided his wife to the afterlife in the godly realm. With a final goodbye and a wish from Questette to take care of their daughter, Fuego leaves and from this day forward, he would dedicate his life to helping the dead the best he can. Giving them proper funerals and guiding their souls to the afterlife.

When Fuego was on his way leaving, he would bump into The Grimdark who seemed upset. He asks him what is wrong and why he is back in the godly realm. The Grimdark would look at Fuego with a furious look and says that there's no point living in a place where mortals exist. Fuego was confused but before he could ask a question, The Grimdark runs off. Fuego sighs and thinks he is upset over witnessing Questette's death like the others, so he goes back to the mortal realm and continue his duties of helping the dead and taking care of his daughter.

Fuego would eventually learn his mistake of not going after The Grimdark when suddenly he felt a disturbance. He sensed The Grimdark's soul became corrupted and wanted to go to the Godly realm but a powerful magical barrier prevented this. When the One banished The Grimdark from the Godly Realm, Fuego quickly rushes in to see a giant pitch black three-headed canine monster coming towards him as he dodges and fires flames towards it. He looked around and saw every soul someone injured. Enraged over this sight, Fuego attacks the canine with a powerful fire attack that burns him badly but causes strong damage to the monster. During the fight, Fuego would get into contact with Aqua and Chikyū, telling him that the mortal realm has been invaded with pitch black monsters and that they need his help. Fuego knew he had to return but this monster is causing a huge problem. The One would speak to him and state that the Godly Realm is now dangerous and that he needs to evacuate the rested souls to the mortal realm for now until this problem is dealt with. Fuego understands and grabs each soul one by one and teleports them to Aqua, who is currently evacuating everyone to the Liquid Depths. Even though Aqua cannot see the dead, Fuego trusts Aqua to take care of everyone when this is happening, this includes Questette, who makes sure to say goodbye to Fuego as he rushes to Chikyū and Vincent. Chikyū came up with a plan to recruit Terios Nightingale as one of the three original heroes destined to stop The Grimdark. After years of preparation, things turn bad when Terios fought against The Grimdark. Resulting in Terios winning the war but he would make the mistake of touching the staff meant to seal The Grimdark away, corrupting him and turning him into the new threat of Wowtopia.

During the Guardian Era, Fuego wouldn't make any major involvements. Now mostly doing his duties at his now recently created Funeral Parlour called "No Regrets" and taking the souls to the Liquid Depths since the Godly Realm is currently still being invaded by the powerful three-headed spawn. He would also continue to raise his now teenage daughter, who would home school her due to the recent events happening. When the Guardian Era ended and after the Guardians' 10 year break, Fuego would try to get involved with the Calamity War by taking the innocent souls to the Liquid Depths when they meet their demises during the war and before all that, he would train Chikyū's son, Ace, to use his firebending more effectively. Fuego wanted to fight in the war, especially because Felicia would get involved with the war and would fight herself. Becoming one of the strongest of the guardians' allies by demonstrating her fiery demigod prowess that she learnt from her father. Fuego was happy to see the war ended and that his daughter is safe. Even if the war ended abruptly and Ace went missing, Fuego was inspired by his daughter in creating a new line of heroes to take down the Grimdark once and for all.

And thus, the Dragonkin warriors were born. With Fuego's dragonkin being Felicia herself. But this plan for the second set of heroes ended when Dare came and killed all of the dragonkin, including Felicia. Fuego wouldn't get this news until he senses Felicia, now as a evil reanimated lich, attacking the godly realm and freeing the three-headed canine spawn, now named Kage, from the one's seal. Fuego couldn't believe this and was enraged but he knew he couldn't intervene. That's where Huella, one of the dragonkin who became reanimated to but somehow had control over herself, came in and stopped the other dragonkin and Kage, finally freeing the Godly Realm from the Grimdark's influence after many years.

Fuego mourned over Felicia's death and since her soul was corrupted, he had no choice but to take her soul to the underworld, where evil souls go to rest and is very much the Grimdark's own realm that he was banished to. He gave the news to Questette upon returning to the Godly Realm and vowed that the Grimdark, The Grimdark, his close friend that he considers a brother, needs to be stopped once and for all.. not to take revenge for Felicia but to show that a soul doesn't deserve this corruption.

Fuego would again, return to his duties but corrupted souls became so common that he was always forced to visit the underworld, now referred to the Drowned Crypt, just to banish those who were corrupted. Fuego wants all of this to end and hopefully he will do something about all of this in the current era.

## **Relationships**

### **Vincent, Aqua and Chikyū**

Being with them since birth, Fuego loves the all of the other dragon gods, seeing them as his siblings. Being the only one who has never denied the Ones' orders, he does feel upset over Chikyū, for example, disobeying orders but even if this was the case, he will support everyone not as a dragon god, but as the oldest brother of them all.

### **The Grimdark**

The Grimdark is also another one that Fuego considers a sibling but after everything he's done, Fuego just cannot forgive him. As he is responsible for almost completely destroying the godly realm and killing his only daughter. If Fuego had the chance, he would fight The Grimdark for corrupting everything but he knows that he is beyond dangerous and the only way to stop him was fated mortals, such as Huella and Ace, are the only ones that can stop him.

### **Questette Firebrand**

Questette is Fuego's lumberjack wife. They met during the beginning of time era. When she died, that's where Fuego started to question his immortality because he imagines that could spend time with her more in the afterlife but he knows he's immortal and his duty is to help the dead. He made a promise to her that he will defend their daughter, Felicia.

### **Felicia Firebrand**

Fuego is very protective to his daughter. He knew she will become a strong warrior because she is the first ever demigod to ever exist and even carries powers of a dragon like her alterrarge. But even if Felicia proves she can fight, Fuego worries about her and his worries came true when she was killed and reanimated by Dare and Terios. After her death, Fuego would continue to try to defend mortals the best he can because of his failure of not saving his daughter.

## **Trivia**

* Fuego's first name means fire in Spanish, basing on his "day of the dead" inspiration, which is celebrated commonly in Mexico. His last name "Firebrand" is well.. fire obviously. And brand can ALSO mean fire. So add all of this together, Fuego's full name is "Fire fire fire". Which can be humorous to some.
* Like many others, Fuego is yet another subject originally made for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. To Con Air's knowledge, he was a rogue and was pretty much the definition of lucky. Having high rolls constantly and like in Wowlife, was pretty much a broody edgelord but in Wowlife, he's more unlucky than his DND counterpart.
* His likes consist of:
	+ Ambrosia
	+ Having Company
	+ Reading Novels
* His dislikes consist of:
	+ Those who disrespect the dead (Such as Necromancy)
	+ His reasonably bad luck
	+ Feeling lonely
* Fuego was featured in Con Air's playthrough of Sims 4 as the Grim Reaper's non-canon replacement. Though the only thing Con Air considers canon in his own Sims lore is pretty much anything involving Horatio's counterpart in that series.
* He was more thinner in early concepts. He eventually became more bulkier when he was repurposed into Wowlife.
* Grim Susie originally served the role of the grim reaper during early Wowlife development but this was changed to what she became now in current Wowlife, with Fuego now serving the role now. The remnant of her origin role is via her nickname and the fact that she has definitely met Fuego when she died.
* Despite having a moustache in his face paint, he doesn't actually have one. In fact, he has no hair in general, being the only dragon god who has this trait.
