Darigaaz

Cold. The cold is what I remember.
Darigaaz had another name, once. The assumption when he was found, frozen beneath the earth by an Alerian excavation team, was that he had been many things before his memory failed him. Unable to discern an age from his preserved flesh, the fact that he remained alive baffled elf and dwarf alike; longevity had been a trait of the Raiaeran elves for age after age, some existing as far back as a thousand years.
This anomaly of life was another case altogether. Despite a war of frigid elements waged across a lifetime in his blood, Darigaaz retained heat. Irregularly high levels of heat, the scientists studying him had noticed. Orange eyes burned over them when they watched him, but the creature never spoke. He could hear enmity whispered in their minds.
Flame birthed me. Flame courses within me. Flame shall be my fate.
Pallid skin, ghostly like a corpse is his tomb. Though the body wastes away, the spirit rages on. Darigaaz has a face that remains unseen, instead opting to wreathe his wretched features in shadow. "Flesh is a mockery of the spirit," he had said. The robes he wears are ratty, tattered black wool. His limbs are skeletal and spidery, deathly thin.
Awaken.
History: Locked.
Height: 6'3"
Weight: indeterminate
Age: Unknown
Skills:
Disjointed Memories: Darigaaz remembers broken pieces from his past. Many tales he tells are mythos surrounding a god of flame. He does not share often, as it tends to not be well received. He is a wise man, however.
Critical Eye: With great wisdom, the ancient considers each situation and has the ability to piece things together. Because of this, he seems extremely silent.
Salves/Poultices/Elixirs: Because of his fractured memories, Darigaaz is only able to craft or discern the nature of weak or basic level concoctions. He does so with a practiced hand, notably.
Abilities:
Burning Soul: Due to the abnormalities within his body and mind, Darigaaz maintains an incredibly high internal temperature. Touching his flesh does not burn, but the heat is easily noticed. Magic or Abilities that cause a body to slow down or stop (including the cold, ice) are 25% less effective, lasting 3/4 the general duration. In addition, ice based powers are 3/4 as effective, as they begin to melt in close proximity to his form.
Immolation: By conjuring flames around the body and soul of a target, Darigaaz is able to burn away all magics and impurities afflicting or bolstering them. The flames are not yet able to cause actual damage to the target, as they are only ethereal. At this point, Darigaaz can only conjure purifying fire twice per day. Abilities and magic of higher level than Darigaaz's own are more difficult to dispel, and as such, may remain.
Spirit of Flames
*Flame Blast: 2 times per thread, Darigaaz can conjure a stream of fire starting from his hand to a 5'×5' area 5 ft in front of him. They cause burns relative to how badly the target is struck. At the fringes of the spell, the heat is only enough to cause first degree burns, while the heart of the spell is hot enough to inflict second degree.
[Locked]*Cataclysm: At this level, Darigaaz retains only a shadow of his former power. By tapping into his soul and stretching out into the world, Darigaaz can cause everything within a 10ft radius to spontaneously combust. These flames with burn hot for 30 seconds, but only cause minor burns. Ideal for distraction or inflicting pain.
Equipment:
Black robes
Sroshar: a blade of mysterious black color that appears to be obsidian. Due to his current state, this blade has the strength of iron and no particular special traits.
