Name: Fontes Makua
Occupation: Apprentice Pyro Martial Artist
Nationality: Portugal
Race: Biological research result
Height: 6feet / 1,80m
Weight: 80Kg / 160lbs
Age: 21
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Dark Brown/Red
Appearance:
Human: fontes-makua.deviantart.com/art/Fontes001-61570971
Makua form: Blue skin, red eyes, and also, his hands and feet grow up to unproportional levels.
Personality: He normally has absolutely no problems in talking to someone, always doing it in a happy tone of voice. However, sometimes, he has a short fuse, specially in his Makua form, so it's better for people to be careful, not to say something that might offend him.
He can also be very stubborn, at times, always trying to get a way to prove he's right, even when he knows he isn't, which might result in internal conflicts, when in a group. Other times, he just feels like submiting himself to whatever he's been told, which sometimes, might lead himself to trouble, for no reason.
However, he's a very loyal person and trustful, who will do anything for the ones he cares about... Even give out his life, if that's what it takes.
Also, he's a bit of an outlaw, mostly when it comes to software. He always gives priority to getting something for free, or cheaper, instead of buying it for full price, even if he has to "dodge" the law...
History: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!
Style: His style, always having hand-to-hand combat as it's base, depends on which form he's in. If he's in his human form, he can ignite flames from his hands and feet, sorta like a fire enchantment. On his "Makua form", though, he acts different, both physically, and strategically, being capable of using Chi, to power up his strikes, and defense.
Also, due to his childhood, he gained some self-taught knowledge on making simple gadgets, with materials he finds in the battlefield, or anywhere else. No electronics, just traditional "gear-like" mechanisms. This might become useful, in certain situations.
Strengths:
- Usage of fire magic, as a human, making him able to do any kind of pyrotechnical juggling.
- Usage of Chi energy, on his makua form, which gives him the ability to do some weird tricks, besides strenght power-ups.
- His small knowledge in gadgeting might come in useful.
- As a makua, his hands and feet get bigger, up to twice their human size. This is an obvious advantage, for his hand-to-hand combat, since he can grab his opponents much easier. Also, his fists act pretty much like clubs. And with wider feet, he gains more balance, making him harder to throw down.
- The only ranged combat he possesses comes from his human form, which is fireball throwing.
- As a makua, he can use his Chi to accelerate his body's healing rate. It's no instant recovery, but it helps.
- By having two separate forms, this results on the possibility of having more skills than other people.
Weaknesses:
- Although having two different forms might come in handy, one of his weaknesses (possibly his main one) is the transformation itself. It takes about 30 seconds for him to change between forms. Also, it requires some concentration, for it. If he needs to change during battle, he'll need to hide, or someone to back up for him. If he gets hit during transformation, or distracted, the changing will reset, and he'll need to start it all over, again.
- In his makua form, although he has bigger hands, that will actually reduce his speed significantly, something like less 20% speed. On these times, he'll mostly rely on his endurance.
- As a makua, he possesses no ranged attacks, whatsoever, so he'll always need to be face-to-face to his opponent.
- Even if he can do some ranged combat as a human, truth is that the fireballs he can throw aren't THAT strong, doing not much more than just stun his opponents, for a short period of time.
Spell List:
Human:
- Heat Up: flames appear on his hands and feet, kinda like a fire enchantment.
- Blazing Sphere: Shooting a weak fireball, which does not much more than stun. Can be used mostly as a distraction.
- Shotgun Fist: By concentrating enough energy on his hand, Fontes then releases it with a punch, causing an explosion with a 2 meters area. Of course, this one requires some time to focus, as well as a significant amount of mana.
Makua:
- Life Support: Accelerate by 50% the natural recovery of wounds. In battle, this could be used to help endure pain, on more serious damage. Of course, this skill is used mostly when recovering, after a mission, in order for Fontes to be ready for the next mission as soon as possible.
- Pushback Palm: By focusing Chi, and for a certain period of time, Fontes' melee strikes gain the extra ability of knocking back the oponent, slightly stunning them.
Ouen!: This isn't really a Mana required skill, neither it requires any of the 2 forms. Basically, Fontes starts to do a cheering dance, pretty much like the japanese male cheering squad do. This increases the party's morale, therefore, increases their battle performance. For more information on these japanese cheering groups (Ouendan), here are a few links:

Either this really cheers someone, or it will make the people laugh, which raises up their spirits, one way or another.
Weapons/Gear: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!
Items:
- Nintendo DS + M3 acessory (he downloads the games for free, instead of buying them), with a 2Gb SD card. Not only roms, but this can be also used to play music, which is what Fontes uses it for, most of the time. He also uses it to play music, while he's cheering on someone, with his "Ouendan" dancing. He keeps the games hidden inside the mp3 folder, disguised as another music album, like any other. Just in case...
- Whistle, which he uses for his cheering.
Notes:
- Pet Raccoon, named Ikunat.
- The "Father help me!" form should be used for RP purposes ONLY, not being used in battles, whatsoever.
