Blazer

Blazer is a character from the XP4 Heroes Coalition fics.

Blazer, real name Conner, is part of the Heroes Coalitions as a Solo Hero.

Background
Blazer was born and raised in a small town where he had a happy life and loving parents and he had a lot of friends but back then, he went by the name Conner. Then one day, when he was just a boy, his town was raided and terrorized by a group of bandits. They stole everything, killed anyone who'd dare escape or oppose them and they took the young girls as their prisoners and they either r*** or used them as their playthings and Conner was forced to watch as they killed his father and defiled his mother before killing her and they left him for dead after beating him up until he could no longer stand as his village was burned to the ground. Luckily, he managed to escape with the willpower he had left, leaving him with a few scars and burn marks on him, making him the only survivor of his home before he lost consciousness. He was then found and rescued by a passing by mercenary who took him to his hideout and nursed him back to health. It was there that Conner vowed revenge on the bandits and he will eradicate all of them including others like them and so after some convincing, the mercenery trained him in the art of combat from martial arts to using various types of firearms and melee weapons to making explosives including incendiary explosives. He also taught him other essential skills such as cooking, navigating and other combat tactics and how there are many different people out there who'd do bad things for different reasons so that Conner will know which people he should and shouldn't go after which he took to heart. Along the way, he and the mercenary formed a somewhat parent and child bond and also, Conner discovered that he had strange powers. He was somehow able to absorb different types of energy and he's also immune to getting burned or getting harmed by bullet fire or even small or large explosions upclose and he can make his weapons even more powerful as well. When Conner became 16, he and the mercenery went their separate ways and so, the young man set off to begin his quest to eradicate those who'd bring terror upon others and take away their futures. Eventually, he managed to find the bandits who desolated his home and killed them, freed their prisoners and turned their hideout along with their corpses to the ground. That was the start that he would be known by many as people told stories about a mysterious cloaked stranger wearing a gas mask and carrying a flamethrower on his back, he'd come to villages who were ransacked by bandits or terrorists and he'd help the villagers by pinpointing the domain of the terrorists or bandits and going there alone and free the innocents and kill those who're guilty and burn them to the ground and he was known by many names but there was one that he went by and that name... was "Blazer". Some people saw him as their savior and guardian angel while others feared him and saw him as an agent of hell sent to punish them for their crimes and sins and there are some whether good or bad who didn't believe in this tale until they saw it for themselves. Eventually, Blazer was found by a mysterious person and this person told him about his mysterious powers. It was revealed that the power he had was called a Gift and that he was called a Blessed and after hearing about the origin of the Blessed along with the existance of other dimensions and the Heroes Coalition, the organization that the person works for, Blazer was amazed and the person proposed that he'd join the Heroes Coalition so that he could train his Gift to its full potential and after some thinking, Blazer agreed and joined the Heroes Coalition and eventually, he was promoted to Solo Hero. Currently in the Coalition, when not on missions, Blazer would spend his spare time either making incendiary explosives in the Tech Garage, sit around near the Sakura Tree or just hanging around in the Lounging Area.

Appearance
A tall young man with short unkempt chesnut brown hair, fair skin, slim and strong build and a gray and red tinted custom made gas mask that resembles an M04 Tactical Gas Mask with the air canister on the left side conceiling his gray colored eyes along with the rest of his face. He's clad in a black long sleeve shirt under a maroon t-shirt, a black bulletproof tactical vest, with a stick-on patch of a flaming skull on the right pectoral, dark blue tactical cargo pants with a black belt and black armor knee pads, black strapped combat boots, a pair of black tactical military combat gloves, a black wrist watch on his left wrist, a customized SP5K with a small ovular high-pressure propane canister replacing the magazine holstered on his right leg, a custom FNP-45 Pistol holstered on a left shoulder holster, a Chiappa Rhino 60DS Revolver Pistol holstered on a right shoulder holster and an Ontario 6145 Military Machete in a black sheath strapped on the left side of his belt. When on missions, he wears a dark gray open military overcoat with a pair of black elbow pads, a crimson armband with an insignia of fire in an upside down black triangle on the left upper arm, a custom WW2-Era M42 German helmet with a flaming skull insignia on the right side and a flashlight attached to the left side worn on his head, an M2A1 Flamethrower on his back and a Saiga 12 Shotgun either held on his arms or holstered on the right side of his back.

Personality
Blazer is kind of the strong and silent type. He chooses to speak whenever he feels like it or when he asks or answers a question and he's sometimes a bit socially awkward. Blazer often wears his gas mask everywhere he went and when he talks through it, he'd sound like he's talking through a radio (like a Stormtrooper) and the only time he'd take it off is when he's alone. Although he has a bad habit of unintentionally scaring some people he'd come across due to the sight of his gas mask and the sound that he'd sometimes make when he breathes through it and it would make him glum sometimes. He's also somehow able to eat or drink through his gas mask through a special slot he opens through the mouth part of the gas mask. Reason for wearing his mask all the time is to hide the scars he has on his face and he doesn't like talking about his scars because of the painful traumatizing memories behind the scars and he only talks about it to someone he deems worthy to share when he's ready to tell. Blazer doesn't like it when people abuse or mistreat others especially if those being abused are young women and those who'd abuse them are either racists or those who'd treat them as nothing but either their playthings or experiments and he'd teach them a lesson but if some of those people go too far, he'll kill them and burn them to ashes and he only does that to people who deserve it. Despite his quirks, Blazer's very kind, polite and gentle and he's always there to help someone when needed even if he'd unintentionally scare them. When in battle, he's calm, cool and collected and even when he unleashes his rage on those he hates, he always keeps a calm and silent composure making him all the more intimidating. When he wants to relay important info to his allies via communication or that he doesn't want anyone to know what he's saying, he'd activate a special function on his mask that muffles his voice so that no one can understand him as all that they'd hear is muffled radio chatter (similar to an Imperial Death Trooper). He has this strange obsession for fire and explosions. He'd sometimes spend a lot of time making fire bombs for missions and his favorite kind of fire bomb is the Molotov Cocktail. He also loves BBQ and he loves to spend his time somewhere quiet and windy but there are times he'd bring along a friend to share his quiet time with. He also sometimes tend to doze off when he feels too relaxed and when someone tries to wake him up, he'd get startled and yell out in surprise and in return scare whoever woke him up due to the sound his gas mask makes while yelling in surprise.

Abilities
Blazer's Gift is called "Power Siphon", this allows him to absorb all forms of energy from kinetic energy to plasma energy, allowing him to become immune to bullet shots from either close range, long range or point blank, fire, laser bolts, explosions and any other form of destructive energy. He can use the energy he absorbed and siphon it to make his weapons more powerful from making enhanced bullet shots to super powered heat blasts from his flamethrower weapons or his blade weapons. The downside of his Gift is that he cannot absorb massive amounts of energy all at once unless he has an ally that has similar powers as his Gift to assist him

Blazer's an Expert in various types of close combat such as Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Systema, SOCP, CQC, Kung Fu, Wrestling, Boxing etc. He's also an Expert in Incendiary Explosives and weapons, an Expert in using Firearms such as Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs and Pistols, An Expert in using Blades and an Expert in Guerrilla, Stealth and Ambush Tactics. He's also good with Riding a motorbike.
