Firebrand is a male Sword Deity/Inphernal who uses he/him pronouns.

APPEARANCE: Firebrand is a 100+ year-old grey-skinned deity who stands 244 cm tall. He has a single large horn emerging from the right side of his face, obscuring his right eye. The horn curls backward and inward, tapering into a sharp spike. Its lower half is a segmented, dark burgundy with three vertically-arranged spikes curling inward. The segments become smaller and more separated toward the upper half, revealing a bright yellow-to-orange gradient at the tip. Two thinner, smaller horns of the same color curl around his head from the base of the large horn. He also has smaller horn fragments on his left cheek, a glowing orange eye, and burn marks around the base of the large horn. His hands glow bright orange with bright yellow palms, and a pair of large, pastel red dragon-like wings with coral webs extend from his back. He wears a burgundy suit with light yellow lapels, cuffs, and a thin vertical line on the sleeves, paired with a beige undershirt and cravat secured by a glowing yellow brooch. A red boa scarf rests over his right shoulder. His attire is completed by a burgundy double-buckle belt with light yellow outlines, cuffed dark burgundy pants, and dark burgundy boots with light yellow soles and toe tips.

GEAR: His namesake sword, the Firebrand, is primarily burgundy with a flame-like decoration on the guard. The cutlass-like blade has a burgundy edge and a glowing spine with a bright yellow-to-orange gradient. At the tip of the edge are three glowing bright yellow, ovate-tipped pieces, which grow larger toward the point.

PERSONALITY: Firebrand is considered the gentlest of the Swords, known as a "softie" who often plays peacemaker. He has a fascination with mortals, viewing them similarly to how humans treat pets. Before the Scorch, he was the most beloved deity. During that time he was the king of Crossroads, a land he himself created; those who wanted to follow him helped construct the cities and structures atop it. Firebrand would have other people to help him carry out tasks due to his lava hands. He has special gloves to assist himself. Despite his gentle nature, he was responsible for destroying a major city in the Lost Temple ten years ago; the flames from this event continue to burn as long as he lives. Firebrand is fiercely protective of his family, fascinated by pretty things, and knows how to barbeque, even grilling with his bare hands. He is immune to fire. He is not skilled at singing or music production. The horn growing over his eye is painful and caused his facial scarring, albeit he's learned to live with it. He has never had a slushie.
