Story Summary: 

Life beneath a volcano must be very exciting, right? Well, it's much more peaceful than most believe. Like all the volcanions of the villages of Obsinderis, Pyrox was surrounded and raised with wonderous culture and inspiring fire power. He was always proud to be a volcanion and embraced their ways of life. However, Pyrox was particularly bothered by the many stereotypes people believed about his race. Even the positive ones annoyed him. Pyrox hoped one day he would prove to people of other races that volcanions were so much more than fierce, intimidating warriors. His people were much more diverse than most others believed. 

Wanting to prove this, Pyrox tried to become a more gentle soul and show he was not merely a living blaze of fire. Though some of his fellow volcanions criticized his concerns about how other races viewed him, the majority were supportive. At least, they seemed to be. Deep down Pyrox wondered if his fellow villagers truly cared about what others thought of them. 

One day, while searching for crystals near the lava rivers, Pyrox encountered a naturman trying to reach a fire berry bush on a ledge surrounded by a ring of hot coals. Pyrox approached and asked if he needed help, and the naturman said yes. Pyrox then took off his slippers and walked across the coals barefoot. The coals did not hurt him at all. Pyrox picked the fire berries and handed them to the naturman. The naturman thanked him, introducing himself as Chess the Iron Horn. Pyrox then introduced himself, and Chess expressed his admiration for Pyrox's ability to walk across the coals. Pyrox then complimented Chess's weapon. What followed was a friendly conversation sharing their ways of life and their many strengths. Appreciating and respecting each other's differences, Pyrox was filled with a newfound reassurance and peace that people of other races truly respected his people and did not let the stereotypes cloud their views. 

Later on, during an adventure where he accompanied Chess and his friends, Pyrox met and rescued a sweet, gentle floralien girl, and a deep infatuation was born.

Powers and Abilities:

Being a volcanion, Pyrox's powers are solely fire based. Though his fire is standard, his elemental powers are stronger than most other races. When compared to other volcanion's though, his fire powers are considered average. He can summon fire from his body such as his hands, feet, and breath. He can also manipulate it with tremendous, complex control much like a martial art. 

Pyrox's physical strength is also very powerful. His melee combat abilities are impressive, but again, compared to other volcanions, he is nothing special. He is still strong enough to lift and crush boulders and throw his opponents with ease. 

Along with a strong fire offense, like all volcanions, Pyrox also has a strong immunity to fire. So much so that he can survive being soaked in lava. Not without getting severely burned, though. It would take a supremely strong amount of fire power to burn Pyrox. His fireproof body is nearly scorch proof. Only red hot lava and molten metal can truly burn him.

Personality:

Pyrox is a truly friendly, good natured guy. He is respectful, trustworthy, caring, and fair. He rarely gets angry or raises his voice at others. When he does, however, even then he tries to stay respectful. 

Pyrox is very courageous and protective of his friends and the innocent. He is always willing to step in and help people in need. He doesn't necessarily enjoy fighting, but he's more than willing to if needed. 

What Pyrox is most characterized for in his personality is his gentleness. His kindness, patience, and soothing calm makes him a joy to be around for almost everyone. Especially to those who find volcanions intimidating. 

 

 

 

Other info:

Pyrox speaks Spanish and has a Spanish accent. His lineage is half Hispanic half Islander, so he greets people with both hola and aloha. 

Pyrox's eyes glow brighter than the average volcanion. One of his few features that helps him stand out.

Pyrox has a talent for playing multiple kinds of drums. Most of which are volcanion and islander drums made from wood, hide, and string.
