Poalo by GuyOthersome

Learned about his ability to manipulate fire at a young age, much to his parents' dismay. He nearly burned his house and his school down trying to show off for his friends. Very outgoing and extroverted, loves being the center of attention and impressing people with his skills and athleticism. Despite being a showman, he's also very humble and doesn't brag about his abilities, rather letting his talent speak for itself.
