because of his upbringing, most of lirio's magic is combat-oriented and rough. there's no elegance or refinement in his spells. his raw power in general is above average but he lacks precision and control.
eideann caligo [ ▮▯▯▯▯ ] IGNIS
by transferring his own body temperature, lirio can alter the heat level of his surroundings. repeated and extended uses can easily cause fatigue, heatstroke, hypothermia, frostbite and other temperature induced effects. it can be used to :
- ignite something by concentrating the spell’s aoe on one place
- induce fatigue or drowsiness
cast time : 1 minute (igniting dry paper) - 1 hour (heating up a large item but he'll probably pass out before finishing).
cooldown : 10 minutes - 1 hour depending on how much heat he used.
calor nebulo [ ▮▯▯▯▯ ] IGNIS, SOMNIUM
a specific form of heat manipulation. it amplifies temperature differences in the air to create shimmers and skew one’s depth perception. however it can’t be used in cold weather and the illusion fades when getting closer.
cast time : 10 minutes in ideal weather conditions or more.
cooldown : 30 minutes or more.

competitive | short-tempered | petty | righteous | reckless | hard-working
lirio is first and foremost a fighter and one with a very short fuse to boot. it's not that he's a bad person and more like he's signed a non-aggression pact with the entire world that could be broken at the first questionable behaviour he witnesses. he finds it hard to forgive and forget, everything is either black or white with no shades of grey and more than often, he resorts to violence when words fail him. on the upside, he doesn't lack courage and would do anything to keep innocents out of harm's way, which gets him in trouble more than often.
emotional | socially awkward | independent | unrefined | easily flustered
while not a people's person in general and being fine on his own, lirio doesn't necessarily avoid company and his difficulties in making friends stem from a combination of his own bluntness, social ineptitude and tendency to act on his emotions. he's not used to having to interact with strangers on a daily basis and ends up being self-conscious about it, frequently coping with nervous almost-yelling (especially in formal settings). that being said, he does relax when hanging out with people he's familiar with, displaying a less serious, more playful side of him.
| likes ; - romance stories; he read one by curiosity and now he can't stop, please save him
- nice naps in the grass; he has trouble sleeping at night and needs to take a break every now and then
- sparring; he finds challenging himself to be fun
- tech and machinery; he finds their noises comforting and they remind him of home
- exploring new places; he's curious about the world and enjoys learning about it
- high places; he enjoys the view and fresh air
| dislikes; - cold/humid weather; he's a summer child
- formal clothing and social gatherings; they make him uncomfortable
- injustice; he'll step in even if it's none of his business
- being left behind or taken lightly; he hates feeling useless and being patronized
- anything that requires him to be elegant or graceful in general; he's so bad at it
☆ b i o g r a p h ytl;dr lirio was born and raised in the war-torn continent of urdavir where dragons, vampires, elves and other mythical creatures rebelled against humans who treated them like monsters. as he grew up surrounded by fighting, he had no choice but to pick up his sword as well and started practicing magic at a relatively young age. his mastery was still very questionable though and as his emotional side started to put him and his family in increasingly more dangerous situations, his parents ended up sending him to luna arcana to protect him and hopefully, teach him how to control both his magic and himself.
lirio doesn’t like looking back.
and to be honest, it’s not like he remembers much anyways. there’s no dipping in his memories and gently going down the river, it’s deep-diving in a whirlpool of scorching blazes and warm embraces to collect bubbles, fragments, missing links and he’s not sure where’s up, where’s down anymore.
still, it’s fine by him.
i. forward
it’s a word he recalls hearing a lot. he likes it. forward is a lot of things. it’s warm hands holding his frostbitten fingers, a promise of safety, swords and bullets carving out a path, a promise. but above everything, forward is hope.
and hope was the only constant he knew growing up.
ii. family
when he thinks about it, he was lucky enough not to lose his parents to war. they could’ve died, like many others did but they were there for him. they were an ordinary couple of fire mages but they were his one and only family and he’ll always be grateful for everything they gave him.
but what if they were gone when he comes back?
iii. noise
he needs it around him, needs the noise, needs the action. he has to give himself something to think about or he’ll pad the silence with chilling screams and deafening explosions. sometimes he doesn’t even find sleep at night and it’s a bit pathetic, he thinks, how he runs away from it all when he should be out there, fighting.
after all, he should be used to this now.
iv. warmth
he hates it as much as he loves it. warmth too is a lot of things. hands and flesh and smiles and corpses and chimneys and wildfires — he’s not sure where he should draw the line anymore, lets it swirl into a messy, nonsensical meld,
he was always bad at letting go, both the good and the bad.
v. safety
that’s what he’s been craving all his life and yet he didn’t want this. it’s wrong, being the only one escaping is wrong and he lashed out, please, i don’t want this. but he knows that’s the reason he has to leave, he’s all emotion and no reason.
he needs to learn before he can go back.
and maybe luna arcana is just the right place for that.
