Flame, a high school junior, was known for excelling at almost everything he touched. Standing at 6’1”, athletic, and naturally talented, he was impossible to miss. Whether it was sports, academics, or competition, he always seemed to come out on top. Nearly every student at school knew his name. Confident and prideful, Flame built a reputation as someone untouchable. He wasn’t interested in serious relationships and often kept people at arm’s length, focusing instead on his goals, sports, and maintaining the image he’d created. Beneath that confidence, however, was a fear of being seen as weak or looked down on, which drove him to constantly prove himself. Despite his popularity, Flame had very few real friends. In fact, the only person he truly trusted was Lomedy. He was also known for being an exceptional fighter, both physically and mentally, rarely backing down from a challenge. Flame and his older brother, Manepear, grew up without their parents. As a senior, Manepear spent years looking after him, taking on responsibilities no kid should have to carry. Because of that, Flame respected his brother more than anyone, even if he rarely showed it. Their difficult upbringing helped shape Flame into the determined, independent person he had become.
