Origin
Mutants. Boy they got it rough. The bottom of the super hero food chain, as it were. Those that study magic or infuse themselves with technology get all the credit, while mutants are treated as inferior beings because of their genetic quirks. Birth defects. That’s how those with narrow minds explain their abilities, and it’s spectacularly unfair. Demetri Everdeen was born a psychokinetic. At first, he thought it was awesome; his ability to influence minds and move objects with his thoughts. However, he soon came to realize that his wealthy parents saw it as a social embarrassment. A crisis. A curse.
For a while he simply lived with it, using his telepathy to influence them to just see him as their son and nothing more. Eventually though, he began feeling guilty about manipulating them in that way. He thought they should see him as a person because that's what he is, not because he's forcing them to see him that way. It was unethical. Wrong.
So he struck out on his own, determined to be a great hero, despite his supposed “disadvantage”. Because that’s crap. Mutation is a gift, not a defect. He was determined to prove that to them, so he enlisted in a program for an elite group of heroes, led by none other than the Legendary Statesman.
Gift from the Well
While on a task force with Statesman, Demetri was exposed to the Well of Furies, which had just released 4 elemental beings of great power. An ice giant, a rock golem, a wind spirit… and a phoenix. He knew Cimerora was bad news, but nothing could prepare him for this. However, the phoenix found him, and granted him with abilities far beyond anything he ever had a right to hope for.
Now, Demetri can control fire; fire in it’s entirety. He can take on a flame shadow form, smoldering like a dark cinder. He can even resuscitate himself, if slain, rising from the ashes and born anew. Taking on the title of Kinetic Phoenix, he joined a group of elite Incarnates tasked with restoring peace in Dark Astoria and driving away the darkness that lives there.
He wonders what his pretentious folks think of him now…
