"Am I a pyromaniac? I think I'm a pyromaniac."

- Kinaver Embara upon discovering his semblance "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me."

- Joshua Graham Kinaver Embara is a Hunter-in-Training currently allied with Team ADZK

Appearance
Kinaver is a tall and somewhat stout boy, averaging at 5'10. He has red-blonde hair that is cut very short and ends in a curl on the top of his head, he is often teased because of his hair colour.

He has no scars anywhere on his body, but his hands are calloused and somewhat rough.

The physical build is strong and very apparent on Kinaver, he has noticeable but not extreme muscles all across his body which often serves as an on-sight stereotype for him.

Kinaver's favourite colour is Red, hence why his attire is made up of very warm and fiery colours like red and honey yellow. His casual attire is made up on a hooded jacket, usually unzipped, and is patterned with hexagons, coloured a light shade of honey yellow. The hoody is personally modified with Fire Dust infused with the jacket by the form of the hexagonal outlines.

Under his hoody he wears a loose, long-sleeved, carmine coloured plaid t-shirt with all the buttons done up.

Kinaver dislikes the feeling of suits immensely and avoids them as much as possible, exactly why he chooses to wear loose, Crimson-coloured tracksuit pants that are very easy to move in. On his feet, he wears yellow high-top sneakers.

Personality
Kinaver was never the most calm person, his fiery and energetic attitude towards most things in general caused him to be constantly hyperactive and excited. This also meant that his temper was easily sparked, sometimes by quite fickle things like an insult towards him and/or his friends. However, that does not mean that he isn't capable of taking a joke, and he even sometimes partakes in the banter of his teammates.

The only time you'll see him moody is when he reminiscing about his life and past events, he never really gets over certain things, and he has a long, long memory. When he is in one of these moods, usually during rainy days, you'll often find him staring out into space with his headphones on and with an empty look in his eyes.

On first glance, he might be considered slow, or stupid. God-save that person that says that to his face. Under his muscles, Kinaver actually holds quite a knowledgeable brain that specializes in thinking fast, and acting even faster, he has been hard-wired to have enormous amounts of reflexes.

As his friends often see and hear, he isn't afraid of giving advice. Kinaver doesn't think of criticism as insulting, rather, just a way to improve oneself. This results in him being very blunt when handing out feedback, to the point of insulting others.

Backstory
Kinaver was born from a Caesarean section, he came out with a warm, likeable nature. He was cared for by his father in the first two months of his life, as his mother contracted a disease soon after his birth. However, she recovered soon after and got her first glimpse of her son since his birth when the door opened and he was sitting on his father's lap, being nursed from a bottle.

For the first 8 years, he lived a joyful, if a little bit mundane life. Raised by two loving and caring parents who guided him through life. After his ninth birthday, his training as a hunter began, he was sent to Signal Academy, where he forged his weapons, the Ryyk Kerarthorr Blades, Ash and Cinder, also learning how to use them. During the next eight years, after undergoing various courses and types of training, he found that he preferred close-quarters combat to the long-ranged and stealthy types of attack.

Also during these years, his sister was born, two years younger than him and named, Roosa Embara. She was very much like her brother, happy and bubbly and he loved her dearly. However, the fact that his mother had enough of a hard time taking care of Kinaver and now also had to take care of Roosa began to whittle down on her. She began to be reclusive and stressed, no longer the person Kinaver had known her to be, but rarely the old her came out and shone. But through all this, Kinaver's fiery resolve continued to shine.

But on one fateful day, the place where he lived was overrun by Grimm, the whole place had already been evacuated, all except his own family, who worried so much about him that they stayed behind. He came home to find his father fighting off two Beowulves at once, and losing. He had lost lots of blood, and was barely conscious, but still he fought on. With the knowledge that he had already gained, he tore through the both of them easily, the deaths of the two Beowulves backfired though, and caused the rest of the remaining Grimm to flock like moths to a light.

Even as they ran with all their remaining energy, the Grimm caught up easily, and it was painfully apparent that they wouldn't survive. But with one look at her son, a look of complete love and consideration for her children, she let go of their hands, and Kinaver's father could only watch in heart-wrenching pain as she was torn apart piece by piece before he was dragged away into safety by a robotic and stiff son who refused to look back.

After that, nothing was ever really the same, his father was visibly, and mentally scared, often turning into a blubbering, gibbering mess at night when everyone else was asleep. His sister was much more reserved and saddened at that point, but still continued with her life, unwilling to let her mother's death be in vain, intending to live her life out to the fullest. Kinaver took to doing small-time jobs to make money, bumping into a mysterious figure at one point, who disappeared as quickly as he'd appeared in the first place.

They were barely getting along with their financial matters, but lived somewhat happy lives, well, as happy as they could be after that traumatizing incident. All that changed one evening though.

It was his birthday, and he was coming home from an exhausting day of school and work, wanting nothing more than to drift off into dream-land. he opened the door to his house and immediately felt that something was wrong, for one, all the lights were off, another, there were no sounds that usually dictated a functioning household. In a flash, he had drawn his weapons, walking slowly around...until he heard the scream, the scream in a voice that sounded oh-so like his sister's.

He dropped his weapons, not thinking about anything other than saving his sibling. When he got close to the kitchen, he heard his father yelling hysterically.

"You killed her! If you weren't alive, she wouldn't be dead!"

Kinaver burst into the room, finding his sister on the ground, crying silently, and his father holding a knife. Without even thinking, he punched his father straight in the face, knocking him out instantly. He then looked down at his sister, and realized that something was very wrong, there was...blood, EVERYWHERE.

All over her clothes, all over her face. And he realized something, his sister wasn't going to bounce back from this. He crouched down next to Roosa, weeping silently, and looked into her eyes, so faint, so weak, but still alive. her mouth was open, and she was looking off into the distance, so happy, even as she was dying.

"Have you ever wondered what's on the other side?"

"No, but I bet it'll be beautiful"

"Too bad, because you won't see it for a while"

"Why?"

"Live, brother..li..ve-."

She closed her eyes, and didn't open them ever again.

in the aftermath, his father was charged with manslaughter, and sent to a mental institution, with the hopes that he'd recover soon, sadly, he hasn't up until this day, he's still a gibbering mess. Kinaver's relationship with his father also changed, he never saw his dad the same again. their relationship became splinted and cold.

As for Kinaver, he sought to fulfill his sister's dying wishes, with his education provided for, he applied for the Beacon entrance exam and passed with flying colours, joining Team ADZK along with the person he met in the street, who identified himself as one of Kinaver's teammates.

Ash and Cinder
Ash and Cinder are a pair of Ryyk Kerarthorr blades, Ash has a black blade that is made completely of obsidian, a glassy, volcanic material that is sharper than steel. It can cut through steel that is, at most, 1.5 inches thick.

Cinder is a blade that has, once again, a blade made of obsidian, the biggest difference, however, is that it is engraved with Fire Dust in a swirling pattern on the blade, it glows a fiery red when activated, and transforms the weapon into one akin to a blade that is molten-hot.

Bushfire
Bushfire is Kinaver's jacket that he always brings around with him. It has a hexagonal pattern, which is actually the Fire Dust that's been infused with it. When activated, it makes his jacket suddenly burst into fire, which can then be manipulated by Kinaver, however, being that a very intense flame is generated, it can only be used for short periods of time.

Inner Flame-Semblance
Inner Flame is Kinaver's semblance, it allows him to control the intensity of a flame. This means he can either increase the power of the fire, or decrease it. However, this has a limited use, i.e. He would not be able to control large scale fires, as they are simply too large an area to be covered. Being that this is his ability, he is also somewhat resistant to burns, able to withstand extreme temperatures. But that does not mean he can go without the necessities of life, like water.

Faunus
As Kinaver is a faunus, he has the standard night-vision. Because he is part Thylacine, he has a large, furry, orange-black, kangaroo-shaped tail.
