Chad

Full Name: Chad Aliases(s): Flambae Age: 36 Sex/Gender: Male Pronouns: He/Him/His Nationality: Afghan-American Birth Place: Herat, Herat Province, Afghanistan Current Residence: Torrance, California (Apartment – frequently smells faintly of smoke and cologne) Voice/Accent: Heavy Sexy Afghanistan Accent + Nasally + Rude + Aggressive + Volatile + Proud + Theatrical + Mocking Species: Human Sexuality: Gay (Out and proud, but open-minded and flirtatious) Affiliation: SDN-T (Superhero Dispatch Network - Torrance Branch) + Phoenix Program + Z Team Occupation: Superhero + Z Team Member + Former Supervillain Crimes: Arson + Assault + Vandalism Superiors: Robert Robertson III (Z Team Dispatcher) + Blonde Blazer (Branch Leader) + Chase Z Team Teammates: Sonar + Invisigal + Punch Up + Prism + Malevola + Golem + Coupé Height: 6 Feet and 4 Inches (6’4) Eyes: Orange Eyes Hair: Long Greasy Dark Brown Hair that’s pulled back into a Ponytail with a single Forehead Lock on the right side of his Forehead Skin: Light Tanned Skin Features: Missing his Pinky and Ring Fingers on his Right Hand + Stubble + Long Sideburns + Light Chest Hair Body: Broad and Tall, Muscular Body Outfit: Black Skintight Sleeved Bodysuit with a Deep V Cut that exposes his Upper Chest and Upper Abs. The Bodysuit has a Flame Design along with Collar and Arms + Orange Boots with a matching Flame Design Powers: Flambae has the power to generate flames from his hands and body without incinerating his skin, something he enjoys telling people with the phrase ‘I control the fire and the flame. And my skin does not burn’. He can shoot heavy amounts of fire from his hands, incinerating objects and people without much difficulty unless they have some sort of protection on. He can also fully engulf his body into flames without burning his skin, burning anything close to him from the fire. With the flames from his hands, he can propel himself into the air and fly at extremely fast speeds, allowing him to get an edge in combat as well as fly to assist SDN callers, significantly reducing his travel time to calls. Lastly, his skin doesn’t burn from fire, so he can easily traverse through flames that aren’t even his with ease. Abilities: Flambae has exceptional combat skills, and some of the best on the team, being able to handle and defeat villains with ease and without much assistance or difficulty. He also has great mobility, his pyrokinetic flight allowing him to fly and get the edge in combat against grounded targets, his flight speed also allowing him to get quick hits in without having to stay too long to get damaged back. His endurance is alright, with nothing too negative or positive going on in that region, similarly to his charisma skills which are okay. However, he does lack intelligence and is one of the dullest on the team next to Golem and Punch Up.

Goal: Succeed as a hero and rank up to the highest on the SDN-T leaderboard.

Personality: Flambae is a very short tempered, rude and egotistical man with anger issues as well as a funny sense of humor. Flambae is very egotistical and thinks he’s better than just about everybody, minus Prism, who he gets along with exceptionally well since they’re both egotistical and proud. Flambae has even taken pride in causing Z Team’s last dispatcher to quit two days into their job after he burned their car. When looked down upon or insulted, Flambae angrily defends himself. He is also rather confrontational, having confronted Mecha-Man at the superhero-only Crypto Night bar because the hero had locked him up prior to his current tenure as hero, though it would only end up with Flambae hurting himself. He’s even antagonized Waterboy, a shy and nervous person, after he accidently threw away his noodles in his janitor cart during lunch, insulting him before Robert had to step in, tossing a bowl of spaghetti at him which also happened to be Blazer’s lunch. When confronted by his mistakes and faults, Flambae is rather dismissive towards them, like when Robert had asked him if he started a fire which he replied no to, even though his dot on the map was right next to the fire. Flambae is notably very vain, having even designed his own deep v cut suit, as well as calling himself ‘super fucking strong’ and seeing himself above everybody else, especially Robert because he doesn’t have powers, seeing him as lesser and calling him a normie, in fact calling him the ‘king of normies’. Flambae also enjoys cussing, something that comes naturally to him, especially with words ‘bitch’ and ‘fuck’ which he uses very regularly. Flambae is also pretty funny and is prone to humorous rambles which usually include funny jokes and references, with one tile having answered Robert’s door with a humor ‘whazaaaaaaaap’. Lastly, Flambae takes zero notes about his appearance and will not change it for anyone. Flambae is the walking embodiment of fire — volatile, bright, and impossible to ignore. Short-tempered, egotistical, flamboyant, and proud, he masks insecurity and anxiety behind bravado and swagger. Needs to be admired; thrives on attention, even negative. Rivalry-driven: Hates being outshone, even by teammates. Vain: Frequently checks his reflection in windows, flames, or other reflective surfaces mid-mission. Petty but loyal: Will roast you for hours but torch anyone else who insults his team. Soft spot: Despite his arrogance, he deeply loves his niece and younger sister, both living in Kabul. Sends them money (legally, these days) and video-calls often — the only times he’s truly gentle.

Likes: Himself + His Appearance + Success + Being Sought After + His Ego being Stroked + Compliments + Prism + Fire, obviously + Arson (he calls it “art”) + Singing along to Whitney Houston while working out + Compliments and admiration + Crypto Night Bar – his new favorite hangout + Mirror selfies + The spotlight — always

Dislikes: Mecha-Man + Robert + Criticism + Insults + Failure + Being ignored or outshone by “regular people” + Losing fights + Cold weather + Having to take orders + Anyone mentioning “fire safety” around him

Hobbies: Working Out + Looking at Himself

Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha-Man): Former enemy. Their battle left both scarred — and although Flambae lost, he claims Mecha-Man “only won because of the suit.” Since Mecha-Man’s retirement, Flambae likes to joke that “The fire’s still burning, even if the tin can’s rusted.” Prism (Z-Team Friend): Frequent dispatch partner. Calls her “hottie”; she calls him “bad bitch.” Blonde Blazer (Boss): Constantly frustrates her, yet respects her power. He claims he’s “her hottest employee — literally.” Z-Team Members (Sonar, Invisigal, Punch Up): Alternates between annoying them and defending them fiercely.

Background/Story: Bork in Afghanistan with the powers of Pyrokinesis, Chad would make it to America eventually where he would become a supervillain and commit very fitting crimes like arson, lots and lots of arson. Before his recruitment into the Phoenix Program, Flambae was an infamous arsonist-villain responsible for a string of “performance burnings” across the West Coast — each fire choreographed to music and color themes. Eventually however, he would be caught in a fight with Mecha-Man at a mall after burning the place, a fight that would see his pinky and ring finger on his right hand being cut off by the mech suit's blade. He would then be apprehended by Mecha-Man, but be plucked out of jail and placed into the Phoenix Program, a program meant to convert supervillains into fully fledged superheroes, being placed onto Z Team.

MISCELLANEOUS He refers to his flames as “my babies.” Calls his missing fingers his “souvenirs from hell.” Smells like smoke and sandalwood. When flirting, he often says: “Careful, baby. You play with fire, you might fall in love.” His idea of a “hot date” usually involves fire — sometimes literally. He will absolutely not be taking notes or feedback on his appearance. Ever.
