Fiction:Koatria/Fire

"The Spirit of a Mendel itself rests in fire. It burns through all that is base, strengthens one's resolve, and pushes onwards regardless. It sends sparks to spread the flames, just as we inspire others to take up our cause and path. Truly, our people were forged in the fires of battle, and this element represents that thoroughly."

- Unknown Koatria

Koatria of Fire are those who control the powers of fire, and all related powers that can branch off of it. This includes the generation of heat, creation of flames, and have usage in explosions. Fire is most commonly found in those with a strong desire for conflict, leadership and warfare, and tend to think with the heart rather then the head. As such, given these traits, it will surprise many to learn that Fire was not the first element developed by the strongly -lead Koatria, but rather it's opposite ice. Still, this is not to say Fire is not completely lost to them, and while Ice was the first, Fire was, and remains, their most common element. Though other races do not have the same "fire" in them as the Kulaung, it does not stop it from being fairly common to develop in other races that share citizenship in the.

Philosophy
Kulaung, in their lessons to Koatria, hold that fire is one of the central aspects of what it means to be a Koatria. It's flames can burn through those that stand in the way and clear a path for others. One fire can lite the spark that can inspire and push others to greatness. For this reason, the Koatria of Fire master the aspect of Courage, seeking to master and radiate it off of themselves to help their teams and keep them focused. Fear gives way to chaos, and chaos leads to death and loss. It is only through iron-forged Courage that one can truly push onwards and defeat their enemies and protect others. Courage further is the soul of movement, and the ancient Litany of Courage is used to help Koatria focus their minds during times of injury and pain to keep moving. Further added to their lessons, was the ideal of Strength, and although physical strength is prized by the Koatria, the ones that Koatria of Fire focus on the most is the aspect of Mental Strength, tied deeply with Courage, to keep moving and to let no attacks get under their skin and push them to rashness.

For all of this, Self-Control is a central tenant of their teachings and skills as warriors. For all the power that fire can grant them, from creating explosions, mastering raging infernos and even stopping burning buildings, a Koatria of Fire, above all others, is the most prone to rashness and impulsiveness. Before standardized training and methodized guidance to their skills and the like, Fire users were more prone to reacting without thinking and acting harshly. Though not idiots by any means, the effects of holding the element reflect quite well onto themselves, with many who go by field training without the sacred texts and manuals often flying into battle without thinking, and the worse even having incredible rage issues that are difficult to calm.

Abilities
Of course, the Users of the Fire can create Fire and heat form their own internal energies, and guide and direct it by mental command alone. Such makes them fearsome, especially in enclosed spaces, and this power can manifest in unique ways, including melting through metal and walls enough to get through obstacles, slowly increase the heat in a room to cause heat strokes and other side effects, and create explosions and combustive elements with their hands. Of note is Arkaalin, who, due to increased power and control over his element, can "charge" and object with his power, and cause it to burst into flames on mental command.

Further abilities include being able to move through fire
