- Ember Ignis about his semblance

Ember Ignis is a member of Team FLME and eldest biological son of Mason and Evie Ignis, ex-members of Team AMER. Ember's weapons of choice are two knives that can transform into handguns named Tooth and Fang. Ember was accepted into Beacon Academy with his step-brother, Fred, and later was joined by Leia Burns and May Fumi.

Early Years
Ember was the only child of Mason and Evie Ignis and was the childhood neighbor and best friend of Frederic Scorch. The two were inseparable and clearly showed their brotherly bond all the time. One day however, when Ember was six years old, a fire came across his town. Unlike the Scorch house which was perfectly fine, the Ignis house caught fire. Ember and his parents were about to run out until his parents were pinned underneath a beam.

Despite his father's protest, Ember would not leave the house until aid arrived. Aid did indeed arrived in the form of Abraham and Rouge Scorch, Fred's parents and Fred himself arrived. Fred and Ember witnessed Abraham and Rouge saving Ember's parents with assistance from Fred who used his semblance for the first time. After Ember's parents escaped, Ember refused to leave his friend. However, fire engulfed Fred's parents and Mason and Evie saved Ember and Fred.

After that day, Mason and Evie adopted Isaac and Fred as their own and continued to rise them. However, Fred was forever scared by the event, but continued to learn and began training with Ember by their father Mason. However, the worse was yet to come, as throughout Fred's years in schooling, he was bullied by Solomon Noir and other classmates, effectively making have no friends aside from Ember and another girl, Olive Pine. Due to the consent bulling, Fred refused to go to Sanctum Academy for combat school and thus desire to go to Signal in Vale. Though Mason and Evie were originally opposed to the idea, Ember offered to go with him and thus they accepted.

Sometime prior to their acceptance into Signal, Ember began affiliated with the Roundly Boys, Faunus triplets who joined the White Fang, but later secretly quit and began suppling information to Ember. When the time came to move to Vale, Mason and Evie could not accompany them to Vale and thus the two lived in a hotel on Patch for four years were Fred's bullying continued.

Eventually, Fred and Ember were both accepted into Beacon Academy by Ozpin himself and began their Huntsmen careers. One day, Ember was walking around the outskirts of Vale when he spotted a girl in pink and purple fight off an entire horde of Grimm single handedly. Ember also noticed she was a Faunus and gave chase. He followed the mysterious figure all the way into Vale and into a club. When Ember interrogated the owner, the girl came and lead him out back.

The girl was the first to swing and Ember who used his knives to block her sword. The two continued to swing their blades at one another and used their gun forms against one another as well. Eventually, May started climbing up the fire escape to run away from Ember who gave chase. The two again clashed with May using her semblance to knock Ember off guard and ran away. This prompted Ember to use his semblance to catch up and defeat her. May believe he was gonna kill her and waited for death, but Ember removed her hood gave her a stolen apple and stated "You look cuter with the cat ears, Kitten." and recommended she join Beacon. Before Ember left, he kissed on the cheek and told her they will met again. promoting May to run off after being shocked by Ember's actions.

Afterwards, Ember emerged from the alleyway that he dropped down in and was greeted by Fred who said he saw his fight and asked what was it about. Ember simply responded that is was a long story.

First Semester
After Fred and Ember moved out of their home in Patch, they arrived at Beacon and began exploring the school grounds. After the two explored the campus, they attended Ozpin's meeting and got introduced to the school itself. The two joined the other first-year students in the ballroom for the night where Ember trained off to find the girl he fought using his advanced sense of smell. When he did, the two talked about what happen and they formally greeted one another and Ember learned her name was May Fumi. Ember continued to ask her about hiding her Faunus traits with May scoffing him off. Ember then wished her a goodnight and good luck the following day and retuned to his sleeping bag still saying her looked good with the cat ears.

The following day, Fred and Ember along with the other first-years began Beacon's Initiation. Once Ember was launched, he started jumping off tree branches and continued his way deeper into the forrest. He was soon encountered by Fred and they made their way to the temple.

The two proceeded to run through the forest and soon encountered a Grimm pack. The duo quickly became overran and executed Steamroller to escape the pack and continue towards the temple. Once there, the two met with May and Ember was introduced to her partner, Leia Burns. After the group realized Grimm were inbound, Fred quickly grabbed the White Bishop piece along with May and the four ran back to the cliff. As the four ran through the terrain, they encountered several Grimm and fought their way back to Beacon. Once back, the four were forever bound by Ozpin as Team FLME, lead by Fred.

When classes began, it was clearly proven that Ember wasn't the best of students intellectually speaking. Though, Ember still pulled his own weight and was able to get a few answers correct, primary in the Grimm Studies class he had with Professor Port.

Around a week later, May decided to confront her step-father and show she wasn't helpless. Before she snuck out, she was stopped by Ember who asked what she was doing. Realizing she would have to bring him along, May said nothing and the two headed off for Patch. Ember continuously asked her where hey were going until they reach Patch Maximum Security Compound. May asked to see Shadow Ombre and the guards gave her a small escort with Ember.

When the two arrived at the cell, Shadow was messed then pleased to see May. He also began to play into her fears and emotions and brought up her parents yet again. However, May retaliated say he could hurt her. Shadow then lunged at her, prompting Ember to push her away and have his ears pulled. Ember screamed in pain as May stood traumatized, and then guards breaking Shadow away from the boy. The two decided to leave and Shadow was screaming at them stating "[They] could stop what was to come!"

When they exited the building, Ember asked if she was okay and May broke down crying. When Ember was about to comfort her, she used her semblance and ran away, however, Ember followed her scent. May entered an ally way Ember eventually found her and despite her protest sat with her and offered her some stolen food. An offer she accepted. Ember then hugged hera removed her gloves to learn that May had cut herself willingly along her wrist.

As May was in Ember's arms, White Fang Bullheads flew overhead and away from the prison and towards the docks. This put May and Ember into action and moved towards the docks. Once there, they witnessed White Fang and Shadow Ombre himself steeling dust and killing the workers. The two took action and attacked the Fang. When Ombre saw this, he attacked May wile Ember handled the goons and their commander. Ember attack their commander, Nolan Runderen, and the two entered a duel. Later, Fred and Leia joined in the fight and assisted them As May and her step-father fought, she was overwhelmed and pinned down. Ember then used his semblance against Shadow and beat him into a pulp, saying May.

After the battle and Shadow's arrested, the team retuned back to Beacon with their victory. Beforehand however, May partner, Leia hugged her and explained to her that she was worried about her. This response made May smile and return to Beacon with her team and friends.

Second Semester
During the final day before the start of the second semester, Ember was in the training hall, working out and enjoying his peace and quite. When Ember finished he was walking back to the dorm when he met with Leia and May. While they were walking back to their dorm, Ember picked up the scent of a wolf and vis versa and met the source of the smell. A Faunus named Eadwulf Fenrir from Shade Academy. The two quickly started a heat rivalry and soon, Fred returned a set up a sparring match between the two.

The two began their match with simple knife swings, punches and kicks. They appeared to be evenly matched and soon Ember began using his pistols over his knives. He shot at Eadwulf several times, but missed many. When the two were locked in a close ranged area, Edawulf began using his wolf claws which caught Ember off guard, forcing him backwards constantly. Eadwulf also started using some kicks to knock Ember further off guard. However, Ember was able to regain his bearings and placed Eadwulf back into a deadlock. However, Eadwulf still held the advantage and continued to be on the offensive side. He pushed Ember back into a pillar and continuously punched him into it. He then threw Ember up the pillar, jumped and kicked him back down to the area below.

Ember was now on the opposing side of the arena with Eadwulf gaining on him. Ember then activated his semblance and caught Eadwulf's punch. Ember dealt his own serious of punches and slashes with his claws and push Eadwulf back. Ember then kicked him onto the ground, forming a crater and repeatedly punches his face. Ember then drags Eadwulf along the ground and throws him into a pillar. As Eadwulf falls, Ember kicks him back into the pillar and and then throws him back on the ground. Ember uses on last punch to knock him out, leaving Team VILE stunned.

After the duel, the team encountered Olive Pine again in about a decade time with her team from Haven, Team WIOW. The reunion lasted for a short few minutes due to Fred running off after having a memory flash. When his team questioned what happened, Fred reviled what Nolan said to him the night they met and was always on edge since then, constantly thinking of what the lieutenant said. After the rant Fred went on, Leia suggested that they do a small crime hunt and try to find a way to stop Nolan to get Fred back on track and the team agreed.

Crime Hunt
After class a week after they established their plan, the team went to the motor pool in order to enact their plan. However, before they could go, team VILE came and forced themselves into the plan, much to Fred's dismay. While Ember and May went to the CCT to contact and old friend and spy within the White Fang, Leia and Eadwulf would go the VPD HQ to investigate evidence from the robbery last semester, Llew Glas and Ing Pugno would search White Fang activities and Fred and Violet went into Vale to met with Skyler, Fred's informative.

Ember and May arrived at the Beacon CCT tower and requested a call to Mistral, and a given address. Ember explained to May that their contact was Rocka Roundly of the Roundly Boys, ex-White Fang members working as spies for the Mistral Government and old friends of Ember. When they made the call, Rocka was quick to act friendly towards Rocka and the both kept their voices low in order for both parties not to get caught. Ember requested information on Nolan, to which Rocka agreed and sent all available information to them and immanently hung up.

After the two left the CCT and sorted out all the information, they received a call from Fred and Violet Eclairage and asked for assistance in chasing Nolan himself. The two joined the attack and met with the rest of FLME and VILE. May and Ember would assist Fred and fighting Nolan himself, but he and Lavender Kristal would escape, ending the hunt.

Beacon Dance
After the crime hunt, Ember caught wind of the Beacon Dance planned for the Vytal Festival and decided to as May. Ember went to where she was reading and climbed the tree she was sitting under. When May realized who was there, Ember hung upside down from one of the branches. Ember tried to play it off, but failed and got straight to the point and asked May. When he did, she responded with a kiss on the cheek and a yes for an answer. Two days prior to the dance, Ember ask Fred to come and join the team in having some fun and to "cut loss" for a bit. Fred brushes off the sentiment claiming he has addition work for Oobleck to get done. Ember, knowing Fred all to well, pushes beyond his leader's lie and states he needs a good wingman since he asked May. Fred reluctantly agrees to join, but states that he won't have fun no matter what.

As the night of the dance comes around, Ember drags Fred out of his dorm to where the rest of the team is located. The four then go to the ballroom together and Ember and May almost immediately begin dancing and enjoying themselves and each other. The two eventually found themselves on the balcony of the ballroom where they talked and they both stated that they would be there for one another, always. This prompted Ember to kiss her forehead, and May to kiss his cheek.

When they returned to the main room, Ember asked where Fred was and learned that he and Violet were dancing with one another. While they watched their leader dance, Ember and Eadwulf again closed heads, but agreed to let their leaders enjoy the night. May then watched Leia pulled Eadwulf away to dance and May followed suit and grabbed Ember and continued to dance.

First Mission
The following day, the first official mission for first-years begins. Ozpin gives a speech, wishing luck to the students before they select their missions. Team FLME decides to do Crime Investigation in the Southeast side of the city. As the team prepares to leave, they are greeted by teams VILE and WIOW who wish them luck and FLME in return wishes them the same luck. As the team approaches the Bullhead, Fred is overwhelmed with joy when he sees that the Huntsman they are working under is his brother's old teammate and friend, Bazaar Hiltzaile. The two exchange some banter and Fred introduces Leia and May to him, though he seems to already have an understanding of the team.

The team then arrives at a crime scene with the investigation being spearhead by Detective Lagoon and Bazaar himself. Team FLME gets to work and discoveries a few pieces of evidence pointing to the White Fang. When they conduct their investigation, Bazaar asked Ember why he wanted to become a huntsman. Ember tells him that he wants to show the world that Faunus are not just killers, but people who can do some good. Later Bazaar orders a stake out of the streets below and lets Fred take first watch while FLME gets some rest.

When Fred watches over the streets below, inside the building where Team FLME set up camp Leia, May and Ember question what Bazaar meant by why he asked them what their motivation was. When the three begin to talk, Ember states that he told Bazaar the truth, but during his fights with Nolan, he questions if the White Fang and Faunus huntsmen are even different or the same. Though Ember is conflicted, he still desires to be a huntsman no matter the cost. At the end of their talk, the three agree that no matter what, they are huntsmen and huntresses to serve Remnant, by any means necessary, earning a smile from Bazaar and Fred.

After Fred's shift is completed, Ember takes over and the leader falls asleep only to be awaken later by Leia who states that there is a White Fang attack. Fred quickly joins in and leads the team Against the fang. After a few minor skirmishes with goons, one reviles that there is an active bomb somewhere in the area. Bazaar then interrogates a few other goons who confirm the claim and the five along with the VPD begin the hunt.

Fred and his team find out the location via a White Fang lieutenant and the team runs toward the area. However, while on the way, they encounter Lavender Kristal. Fred orders everyone to keep going while he dealt with the bounty hunter. The three push onward and encounter Nolan himself next, with Ember telling the girls to push forward. Ember and Nolan clash once again with Nolan telling Ember that they aren't that different from one another. Nolan then mentions Roz Quarzo earning a surprised look from Ember, but making him more enraged. Ember then kicks Nolan through some glass in hopes of knocking him out and moves to assist the girls.

Once Fred reunites with his team, he sees that the bomb is about to go off. He then has Leia use her semblance to create a shield around the bomb which he hopes should contain the blast. Leia does so and the bomb goes off, forcing Leia to make multiple shields and layers around the explosion. Eventually, the blast stops and Leia is knocked out cold, being caught by Fred. Afterwards, the team returns to Beacon to place Leia in the infirmaryand joins the huntsmen in defending Vale from the Grimm. After Leia comes around, Fred and the rest of the team fills her in on what happens and states that Nolan and Lavender are still out there and still planning.

Vytal Festival Tourmanet
At the end of the first year at Beacon, Team FLME participated in the 40th Annual Vytal Festival Tournament. The they were the first team to fight in the tournament against Team VILE themselves. Before the fight, Violet and Fred exchanged some banter along with Ember and Eadwulf. As the terrain was set in for the fight, Fred ordered Plan Delta-One one he was told there was an urban environment.

The fight began and the team quickly began the plan, leaving VILE confused as to where they were. Suddenly, Fred jumped right as Violet and attempted to kick her, but she blocked it with her staff, pushing him away from the team. Ember then attacked Eadwulf, pushing him back to the high grass bio while Fred continued to bet down on Violet. Llew and Ing were also pushed back by Leia and May, using the urban terrain for cover and surpassing the team. Llew then used her semblance of teleportation to attack May in a high rise, ceasing her sniper support and Ing got the jump on Leia. Ember, realizing May was in trouble wanted to help her, but was cut off by Eadwulf. Violet went to assist Ing, leaving Fred to take on Eadwulf, giving Ember the cover he needed.

Ember tackles Ing to the ground and takes the offensive side. He then throws Ing through the air and eliminating him from combat. Violet and Llew then fall back where Violet using her semblance of Lighting manipulation to electrocute team FLME. However, Fred learns by sheer luck he can also manipulate lighting, launching back at Violet and Llew, knocking them both back. The team takes the advantage and attacks with Fred and Leia taking on Violet while May and Ember take down Llew. Once Llew is down, Fred and Leia throw Violet into a rock and Fred kicking her in the head also knocking her out, winning the match in the process.

After the match, Ember and Eadwulf make up but their mutual fear of Fred and their combat abilities along with the good of their leaders. Ember and Eadwulf then fist bump and move into the stands to watch Team WIOW's match.

After the fight with Team VILE the eight began to watch the following match, Team WIOW vs Team SSMR of Atlas Academy. Both FLME and VILE cheered for Fred and Ember's old friend Olive and team against the Atlas team. However, Fred recognized one of the members of SSMR but couldn't put his tongue on it. During the fight, a member of SSMR pulled the year of WIOW's Faunus, Ireland Sarga, giving May a minor panic attack. Fred then had Ember and May leave the area and told Ember to not let May see the team fight.May and Ember return to the school grounds where May has some dreams about her abusive step-father until Ember shows up with cotton candy. May ask if it was stolen, to which Ember reluctantly says it was, earning a smile from May.

May asked Ember if she should tell the team about her past, to which responds with "Only if you are ready, not them." The two continue to spend the rest of the day together and May smashes the remainder of her cotton candy onto Ember's face, with him playfully throwing some her nose and cheeks. Ember then attempts to lick it off, with May telling him it was gross, yet she does the same to his face. Fred and Leia then met with May and Ember in their dorm where May explained what happened and how she was abused as a child. The team then decided to take a walk around campus and came to the docks where Fred and Ember recognized an Atlas ship coming in and the commander of the vessel, Elsa Inverno, Isaac's old teammate.

The three exchanged some words, but she seemed to be more interested in Leia and May. While Fred and Ember left, the three girls walked down the main avenue and talked until they were interrupted by Isaac Scorch himself. Fred and Ember then reunited with the girls who began witnessing Isaac and Elsa's duel with one another. After the duel was ended due to both Ironwood and Qrow, Fred came and greeted his brother and jumping on his back. Fred was obviously excited to see his brother and vis versa until Isaac was called by Qrow and Ozpin for a personal word.

The following day, Isaac, Fred and Ember began playing games in the FLME dorm and Isaac recounting his previous mission. Though Isaac bet Ember, he lost to Fred as he finished his story. Isaac the told his younger brothers that to never stop trying and never stop pushing. He also told Fred that their parents would be so proud and overwhelmed with joy to see what they both have done, especially Fred. Later that night, Fred and Ember were then pinned up against the members of Team SSMR and the two agreed to win to avenge WIOW.

The following day, Fred and Ember took to the arena and prepared to fight team SSMR. Before the match, Fred learned that he would be fighting Solomon Noir himself. Solomon began to belittle both Fred and Ember repellently and even insulted May, sending Ember over the edge. The match began and Ember went strait for Solomon while Fred began dueling Regen Wilhelm. Ember was constantly on the move, trying to avoid Solomon's rounds. Ember was able to get in close and land a few hits, but Solomon used his semblance of superhuman strength and almost knocked out Ember in a few blows. However, once there, Fred realized that Ember was about to be taken out and decided to begin a tornado of fire and engulfed almost the entire arena.

After the tornado died off, Fred realized that his tornado took out Ember but also Regen, leaving Solomon standing. Just as Fred was about to kill Solomon, Ember stopped him and talked him out of it. While Ember was walking away he nearly collapsed on the ground, but Fred caught him and carried him out of the arena.

That night, team FLME placed Ember in an ice bath after they returned from the infirmary. The team discussed who would represent them in the finals and the clear choice was Fred though to his disagreement as he suggested Ember. However, Ember was in no condition to fight so Fred went with his team and placed himself as their selection. As he was doing so, there was a knock at the door with May responding. However, as she opened the door, she immediately closed it and returned to Ember's side and began stretching his ear as a form of "Stress relief". May then reviled it was Solomon who again knocked. Leia in response, grabbed Gryffindor but was stopped by Fred who claimed he would handle it and for Leia to protect the rest. As he opened the door, Solomon asked if he could talk to him for a bit, with Fred agreeing.

Afterwards, Fred returned to his team and broke down crying about his parents. As he did so, Leia and Ember comforted him and repeated his words of "We are family.", which was able to calm Fred down and rejoin his team with his usual polite, cocky and cheerful attitude during down times.

Battle of Beacon
After the first match of the finals ended, Fred and his team were surprised of what happened, but still pushed onward. Soon, the team heard of the breakout of Shadow Ombre placing May in a state of fear. As a result Ember and May stayed inside the dorm and Fred and Leia went to the arena to watch the next match. After everyone witnessed the battle between Pyrrha Nikos and Penny Polendina in which Penny was killed. Afterwards, everyone in Vale heard a message from an unknown person who mentioned Mistral which made Ember tense up. May was still in shock of what happened to Penny, but dropped the shock when the Grimm alert sirens went off, prompting the two for action.

Ember and May began to fight not only Grimm but also White Fang forces. But while May was distracted, she was attacked by an Ursa and almost killed if not for Team SSMR. Solomon made sure May was okay, to which she nodded. Ian Stonewall, Magnus Crimson and Regen Wilhelm then left for the water docks while Ember. May and Solomon waited fro Fred and Leia and held off Grimm. When Fred ordered WIOW to Vale and assist with a safe zone, Leia, Llew and Ing to go to the library to save more students, Ember, May and Eadwulf to the dorms to do the same and for Violet, Solomon and himself to defend the docks from the incoming Grimm.

Ember, May and Eadwulf began to evacuate the dorms but were stopped by Nolan Runderen. The three attacked Nolan but stood little chance against him as he easily overpowered them with his sheer strength. May was soon pinned to th ground with glasses on her abdomen. Nolan then crushed her glasses, with some glass breaching her skin and stomach, making her cry in pain. Ember then again used his semblance to save her and push Nolan back, but again stood little chance. Before Ember was killed by Nolan, he was taken by a Nevermore and eaten in two. Though shocked, May and ran to Ember and hugged him before collapsing on the ground.

Ember then carried May back to the docks with Eadwulf covering them. Once the three arrived at the docks, Ember placed May onto a transport and the rest of the team boarded except for Fred who was looking for his brother. While on the flight to Vale, May passed out and awoke with the Burns Household.

A week later, Ember and FLME greeted Fred after he awoke from being knocked out for days. They explained that after the flash, both Violet and he were knocked out and Isaac got them to safety then left Vale. Violet and her team retuned to Shade as Violet was in a coma and Fred was brought to the Burns Family Home. Leia told him that if he needed something her maids and butler would be there. Four days later, Fred remembered that who gave the speech preluding the battle said she was from Mistral. So, Fred states that he must go on the mission alone, and did not order to ask anyone else to come with him as he could not lose his original home too. However, his team still agreed to accompany him and together the four set out to Haven Academy the next week.

Post-Fall of Beacon
After the Fall of Beacon, Fred stops at a local village to stop both White Fang soldiers and Grimm from attacking the small town. After his initial engagement is completed, Fred receives a call from the rest of the team who state they will be there soon to assist. Following that, the team is hired by a village near Amber Square that is in need of assistance dealing with a Grimm pack lead by a Geist. The team kills of the pack once they catch it off guard and lead the Geist to a small clearing. Once there, the team begins to fight it off. While Fred, Ember and May fight off the Geist, Leia instructs the team on how to take it down. May was then thrown into the air by Leia who then cut the Geist in half, ending the job. The team then noticed a White Fang member and captured him and interrogated him, reviling one of Roz Quarzo's Lieutenants in Menagerie. The team then returned to the village and got paid by the Village Minister.

After their payment, Fred and the team went to the blacksmith who upgraded the Scorch Blades to have dust infusion into the blades. The blacksmith then reviled what he used for a power source of pure lighting in a bottle Fred got from Violet. Fred let the blacksmith keep the lighting if he would agree to give the team a free job next time they were in town, and the smith agreed. The team then left the town and decided to got to Menagerie and the next town over was a water village with sea passage. As they were walking, a photo blew out of Fred's jacket with Leia catching it and looking at the photo which was he and Violet dancing together. Leia teased him a bit, but Fred did not share the sentiment and calmed it was a memento of Beacon.

Journey to Menagerie
After the team entered the town they took a ship to Menagerie. While on the voyage, Fred had a dream where he awoke to his dorm in Beacon Academy with the team sleeping. Fred then blinked and awoke to their room on the ship with the team again sleeping. Fred then left the room followed by Ember. Ember and Fred began to talk about recent events with both describing their failures and discussed their motivations behind them being Huntsmen.

Later during their talk, a pirate ship came and attacked their own vessel and boarded the ship as well. While Fred stayed to fight off the pirates, Ember ran to get the girls for assistance. The three went to work in clearing out the ship and delinked the ship from their own and joined their leader on the pirate ship. The team was then surround, but May and the captain's wife seemed to know one another. The Captain's wife realized that May was her daughter and the captain her father. With the family reunited, they sailed back to their hometown with FLME.

The two introduced themselves as March and April Fumi, the ruling family of Fumi Cove on Menagerie. The team also introduced themselves and March told the story of how May was taken away from them by Shadow Ombre, 17 years ago. During the tale, March stated that Team AMER assisted them with the defense of the city. This in turn, forced Fred to leave the cabin with Ember giving chase. Ember and Fred talked about Fred's father and Abraham, and how Fred was struggling to be like him, despite everyone telling him otherwise. Fred then reviled his main motivation for becoming a huntsman so he could die and avenge his parents. Their conversation was cut short by the arrival of the rest of the team, March and April and the arrival to the cove. While at the cove, the crew of the Fumi's ship passed out necessary supplies for the survival of the town. March then showed the team the main conduit for the local power station and activated it, giving Fred flashes of both his father and Violet. Causing Fred to have a breakdown and hide away in a locker room.

As Fred ran, Shadow Ombre arrived with a fleet primed to attack the town. While May would try to get Fred back, Leia and Ember moved to the beach and set up defenses. Soon, Ombre's landing parties arrived and attacked with local ships and soldiers defending the city from the beach and Leia and Ember on the front lines. Eventually, Lavender Kristal arrived on the shore and tough Leia and Ember. Once Fred came back through and entered the fight, Leia moved to get the heavy cannons onto the ships, Ombre retreated and the town was saved, but with heavy losses. Afterwards, Fred and his team were taken to the Anima shore after their lead was scrapped and continued towards Amber Square. However, before they could go, May was offered to stay with her parents, and offer she rejected.

Journey to Amber Square
After climbing up a mountain, Fred and Ember explained to the girls that at the top was a village they used to visit all the time entitled, Furno Village. However, as they reached the top, both Ember and Fred smelt smoke and saw it rising. The team the rushed into the town to see it in ash and bodies everywhere. Fred gave the order to look the town to try to find survivors. When Leia called one out, he recognized the person as his old friend Azula. Using bio-foam to block her wounds, Leia and Fred asked her questions on what happened. She said that troops wearing the Ombre emblem attacked lead by a Faunus and the local scientist, Doctor Lavenza Volt. The team set up camp for the night and would continue to move the following day.

Psych-Interviews
"Fred, your my best friend and brother. Wether you know it or not, I'm with you. Till the end of the line, and beyond."

- Ember Ignis to Frederic Scorch about going to Haven Academy.

Personality
Ember has been described as cool, laid back, confident and cocky Faunus of Team FLME. Ember is the member of the team that is the most social and would gladly pick to spend time with friends and family then doing school work or anything else. Ember enjoys having fun and turns several things into a joke and or tries to do so. Ember also hates being bored as evident during his class time aside from sparing classes.

Ember is very confident in his abilities to do his job as seen when he first meets May. He casually walks into Junior's club and grabs Junior's neck for interrogation and is completely unfazed by his guards. He is also one to make conversation during a fight and throw in a few quick quips and jokes at his opponents. Ember normally addresses foes with a smile or some form of cocky grin before a fight, unless it is against Eadwulf, Solomon or Nolan. When he does fight these three, Ember abandons his cocky and blunt nature and becomes surprisingly mature and takes the fight very seriously.

Ember looks out for those he cares about, normally being the moral center of the team. This invokes him to become protective, mainly towards Fred and May. Ember is usually seen comforting the two when times get tough for them and are always by their side, making him extremely loyal as well. Ember also holds the strongest bonds with Fred and May and a close bond with Leia, but not nearly as close.

Though Ember is strongly mature when fights get serious, his rage and anger can drive him to do harm on those he had no desire to place harm upon. This is mostly due to his semblance of Inner Beast, which takes his anger and exploits it, sometimes turning him into a raging animal. However, Ember does have much control over his emotions and thus normally places himself in a happy mood and thus is why he is so care free.

Ember also seems to be a thief, normally steeling foods from local markets an street venders. This, however, does not make him question his place in the world. He also only rarely steels, and only does so with food which he normally gives to the less fortunate or May.

He also appears to have a strong crush on May. He was the one who recommend Beacon for her and has personally accompanied her on assignments such as their mission to Patch or FLME's Crime Hunt. Ember also goes on to vow that he will always protect and be by her side if needed. Ember is also the one who encouraged May more than anyone to go back to Menagerie with her parents in order to see her happy. As he said this, a single tear is released from his eye. When the two attend Beacon Dance together, they seem to enjoy one another's company and laugh together, implying a mutual feeling.

Ember also holds a great deal of honor with him towards his allies and the Faunus people. He strongly disagrees with the White Fang and his whole motivation for becoming a huntsman was to show the world the Faunus were just people and not mindless beast.

Ember also has claw like nails that he can retract in and out of his gloves which he only uses to make a threat or when he uses his semblance.

Fighting Style
Ember's fighting style is basic sword-play with the added mix of kickboxing and actual boxing. Ember is not nearly as acrobatic as his brother, but he still the closets to Fred on FLME and as a result, moves very quickly throughout the battlefield. Ember also makes use of his immense strength and sometimes would just his fist and feet and not his weapons, something he is proficient at. However, this normally occurs when Ember activates his semblance.

Semblance
Ember's semblance is called, Inner Beast.

His eyes also turn red and his pupils shrink to make him seem more animal like. However, his semblance does use a lot of his energy, and does have strong side effects.

Another side effect and the most damaging, is after his semblance is deactivated, Ember become very tired and normally pants to regain his breath. He also then begins to feel the force of whatever hit him during the use of his semblance, making him extremely weak.
