Basics
Name: Apollo Leon Colobert
Nicknames: Sunshine
Sun Child
Age: 18
Birthday: April 11th
Grade: 12th
Power:
Solar Empowerment: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. And similarly Apollo's cells are able to absorb energy from the sun, and use it to power his body and abilities.
During this absorption of solar energy Apollo's cells become full of life, and energy causing them to create a soft glowing effect that become brighter the more power that he emits. However, turning him into a human glow-stick isn't the only side effect. The next one being that the blonde is actually able to sustain himself without the need to actually eat food, or really ever rest. In-fact Apollo's sleep schedule is almost nonexistent. At the most, he typically gets roughly three-to-four hours of sleep a night, and that is only because it's typically how long it takes for his body to burn the energy. Even with him being as active as he is.
And on top of that his physical abilities are also increased by his solar affinity. Slowing down his aging to half of the typical human, and increasing his body natural healing process. However, no where near the extent of a healing factor. EX: A broken arm takes typically 6 weeks to heal for the everyday teen, but it would take 3 for Apollo to recover from it.
However the greatest bonus is that his main offensive ability is greatly enhanced by this power-up. The power of his flames sky-rockets. The fire becoming incredibly hot to the point that Apollo can melt boulders with relative ease, create jet streams to momentarily fly, and can instantly start forest fires if he's not extremely careful. Although, this ability does have it's fair share of limitations. While the power of the sun may be limitless. Apollo's is far from it. He has does a limit of how much solar energy his body can store at once, and it can be depleted over the course of an battle. (From both giving and receiving blows) And the empowerment is weaken when in not direct sunlight, and it doesn't work at all when there is none.
Even with those limitations the power-up is still akin to a double-edge sword - yes, he does goes exponentially more powerful, but the little control Apollo had over his abilities goes out the window. When fully charge while using his flames they become uncontrollable, and burn everything that he had pointed them at. IE: The flames still shoot in the general direction that Apollo pointed them at, but the intensity at which they go is uncontrollable. Meaning that everything is done at full-power no matter how much Apollo tries to hold back.
Fire Manipulation: Apollo is fairly adept with his ability to generate fire and has shown himself to be a somewhat a skilled manipulator. With him showing the potential for his prowess to steadily increase throughout his stay at Ashford. Maybe even to the point of becoming a firebending master. Although, despite his natural skill, and fast development as a fire manipulator, Apollo still has difficulty controlling his own power.
Apollo can create fire by exciting or accelerating an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy to make it ignite, such as his own skin for example. However, this is not limited necessarily to the objects Apollo has on hand but can, with great skill, use the environment around him. He can also manipulate it by controlling and moving the flames, including it's shape, in anyway imaginable. That said, pretty much everything with this power comes down to burning. Seen how nearly everything can be warped, burned reduce to ash given enough heat and fire.
As described by Apollo, fire is the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires. And as far as the combat style reasons go - Apollo chooses to let his technique be influenced by modern culture to be more fluid, creating a more dance like form. Known for it's intense and aggressive attacking style and general lack of adequate defensive moves, although he can modify offensive maneuvers to function as a defense, such as creating large walls of fire or shooting down incoming attacks with fire jabs.
And by using this technique to it's fullest, Apollo can choose to make it so his fire blasts are more powerful, by charging his attacks before releasing them, creating enormous blasts of fire. And while this power is as aggressive as it is deadly, it is also extremely vulnerable as well, given that fire doesn't exist in itself and needs other elements. Meaning that without something to burn, AKA something to feed the flames, they will quickly die out before they can deal any actual harm. Also fire has an elemental weakness to water and earth. Being put out, and smothered by them. Also the flame draws from Apollo's own internal energy source. The more and stronger flames he shoots. The tireder he gets.
Fire Immunity: Apollo is immune to fire/heat, being completely invulnerable to direct and indirect effects.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Not
Appearance: True to his namesake - Apollo has a physique that one would expect name after a Greek God. The ideal of the kouros; Apollo is typically crowned with short, messy, golden blonde hair with dark roots. His bangs barely reaching past his eyebrows. And while many assume that the Sun Child's hair is simply dyed it's signature yellow color, it is actually a natural occurrence that is been brought forth by his cells absorbing nutrients from the sun. With his golden locks acting as a gauge of how much sunlight is stored within him. Completely brunette equally empty, and total blonde equally full. Should Apollo choose to tap into solar energy stored within him, and bring it out in it's fullest, Apollo's hair take on flame like glow, and his eyes become a shining golden brown.
Speaking of his eyes. Apollo has two dark chocolate brown hues that complement his sunkissed skin. Which leads us to the rest of his body. Apollo has the type of body would expect from someone who lived in San Diego, and spent everyday on the beach. A beardless, athletic youth that takes great pride in his personal image. One that had spent his entire life swimming in the ocean, skateboarding and biking. Which had led to him earning his fair share of cuts, bruises and scars. With him having the latter mostly around his elbows, knees, shins, knuckles and one on his jaw.
As far as fashion goes - Apollo tends to stick with clothes that are comfortable, and allow him plenty of movements. Such as shorts, sweatpants, t-shirts, etc etc. Also, the blonde seems to lean more towards bright and colorful. Like summer colors; yellows, pinks, oranges, red and light blues. Because of his love for music, he is usually seen wearing a pair of bright orange headphones around his neck.
