Malaika Souzan'sha, Blessed Templar of the Militant Order of Fire
Taller-than-average height, athletic build, hot temper and no patience. She wears her robes with thin-cloth civilian clothes beneath, light enough not to make her feel too hot, or too restricted. Her genetic modifications and genoset are obvious, flecks of chitin over her joints and where the bone is near skin, while her skin itself ranges from obsidian black to flesh. She even has a second eyelid, used in times of bright light or firey flashes. Her spit, tears, and even blood have potential to catch flame, and she's always warm, if not uncomfortably so, to the touch.
Mecha - Muspell
Smooth yet jagged, Muspell is covered in chitin like obsidian, glittering black with the glow of heat beneath, a soft orange flicker from the many fire related enhancements. Several vents hide unobstrusively beneath scales and sections of the chitin here and there, releasing flammable gasses in an instant that can be set on fire with the smallest spark, surrounding her in a corona of flame. They also act as her boosters and thrusters in time of need, and weapons in combat. Other than that, Muspell is simple to the point of elegance, yet jagged enough to give it a dangerous air.

Traits
- Knux 3 (Used to fight closed-fisted with weapons fitting over the hands or knuckles.)
- Spitfire 3 (Using napalm-like secretions or bursts of flammable gas, it's a medium/long range fire attack directed at the enemy.)
- Hotblood 3 (Blood and secretions ignite at the touch of air. Failing an opposed combat roll, if there is a success on Hotblood, the enemy takes a success' worth of damage.)
- Fists of Fury 3(Limit+1) (Punching blows with extra firepower, if you catch my drift.)
- Blessing of the Blaze 2(Limit+1) (Ignite(sometimes literally) an ally into even greater actions, giving a +1 bonus to their rolled trait next turn.)
- Untempered 1 (Limit+1) (About as contained as a forest fire, a successful roll breaks physical and mental bonds as both inner and physical fire char them away.)
- Flame-Flicker 2(Limit+2) (Dodge bullets, fists, even fire by leaving an afterimage in the air.)
- "It was in my training." 2(Limit+2) (Used for incredible stunts of agility or strength, like jumping ridiculously high or breaking bones when grappling.)
- Accidental Spark 1 (Limit +2) (Worded awkwardly or straight to the point, this question gets the correct answer either due to not knowing the social norms, or ignoring them.)
- Fire Consumes All! 2(Limit+3) (Set one thing on fire. Anything. IT MUST BURN.)
- Ignis Divine 3 (Limit+2) (Thermokinesis)
- Flashback 4 (In times of sadness, doubt, and fear, Malaika can recall a memory from her schooling, inspiring her to truly divine amounts of fire- both of the flesh, and of the heart.)
History
Mala's parents are forever a mystery - All she's been told or found out on her own was that she was discovered at a very young age on an agriculture-centered planet, with a genoset and adaptations foreign to the planet itself. When no one was found to claim her, she was taken in by the local Templar school, given a name, a home, and extensive training from day one. Combat, study, and training is all she's known, but even at a young age, the rigid structure of school life seemed too restrictive. Though an accepted and even accomplished member of the school, she's always been awkward from so little social interaction, and early meetings with potential friends caused her to sour to the prospect of ever being socially acceptable. Seeking a way out, she poured her all into learning how to work with and control flames, mastering combat training, and finally gaining a rank that would let her come and go at will - she became a Templar. Though she's still relatively young and untrained, she throws her all into her duties, burning her own way through anything in her path.
