Description:
A being of volatile fire. Most of her time is spent in a hulking metal containment suit that safely harnesses and expels the heat she generates.
Lore:
Dr. Shuman like any other genius, attempted to change the world. His every waking moment was spent nurturing his pride and joy, the world's first solar powered reactor. A casualty of this life long pursuit was that of his daughter, Flue. While she was used to her father being absent, it only fed her anger. When her mother died from a sudden illness her father ran away further into his work, and Flue's temper boiled over.
Worse for wear after a night out, she burst into her father's lab to give the old man a piece of her mind. Dismissive as ever, Dr. Shuman told her to compose herself and leave. Flue erupted and began trashing the place, weaving in every insult she's had brewing from their 22 years together. Her sight fell on his precious, priceless, perfect solar engine, hitting it with every ounce of resentment she had stored up. And the engine responded in kind. The damage to the cooling system began overheating the machine and Dr. Shuman in a panic attempted to regain control of his creation. But it was too late. The reactor hurled a wave of fire and fission, engulfing Flue in the blast.
The doctor awoke under a torched control panel. Screaming out to Flue between coughs, searching every inch of the now destroyed lab. Dread set in as he came to the conclusion there was nothing left of her to find. Until, impossibly, a bright glow began emanating from a pile of rubble. The light intensified before rupturing out of the rocks. Standing before him was something he could not comprehend. A being a pure, white hot energy. But when it called out in a familiar voice he understood.
Flue had become the solar reactor.
With the help of his connections at the OSIC, a tungsten lined containment suit was constructed. Flue was told this was for her safety and those around her, after all she wasn't particularly stable even before the incident. While her father and the OSIC work to diagnose her new condition, Flue hears rumors of a wish-granting ritual and takes off on her own. Determined to take back her life without her father's help.
