Biography
Flare was born April 4th, he was the younger brother of Rojo Eclater and the son of two retired hunters. He lived east of Vale, and when he was old enough he was taught how to fight by his family, who had taught him some forms of hand to hand combat, as well as how to shoot, and his brother taught him how to use blades in combat, swords being Flares most primary use of action. He soon made his two weapons, Crota (A short sword that uses dust, and can be turned into an assault rifle) and Rixis (a dagger that can also use dust and turns into a powerful pistol) During his training, he learned his semblance, "Blink" he called it. Though, after all of this, Flare saw his mother and father killed, and somehow managed to escape. His older brother found him, though realizing that he couldn't raise Flare on his own. Flare was soon left at the doorstep of Lilia Violet, and soon was raised under her care with his adopted brothers, Viento Gris, and Inverno Ghiaccio. He later attended Beacon Academy, and met team KZSO who would become his friends. Flare would also become leader of Team FIVE, and well, no one knows what had happened to him, or his team.

Personality
Flare is often sarcastic, and has tried to brighten the mood on the most dangerous or depressing times. Though, he is always there for his friends and usually tries to know people. He has a huge hatred against most faunas harassers, and will attack them if they are trying to harass him, his friends, or actually anyone else. From playing simple pranks on them, to outright beating them up. In combat, Flare is a lot more different and dangerous. In combat while he does care for his companions, he has also been noted to be calm, cool, as well as cold. Against weaker opponents or opponents he deems weak, he usually toys with them, not really caring what they try to do in the slightest. Though, against stronger opponents, he keeps an eye on them. Watching their every move, and uses any strategy that comes to his mind first. He also tends to not give up, and fights till he either passes out or dies.

Weapons
Flare's two main weapons are Crota and Rixis, Crota is a Sword/Assault Rifle hybrid, in its Sword Form, Crota is a sharp blade that can enhance itself with dust. Flare's usual preference is allowing the sword to use Fire Dust, and it envelops the blade into fire, and enhances its killing capability. In its assault rifle mode, Crota is a scoped high caliber fully automatic rifle, which has a bayonet at the bottom. It uses dust rounds, and has been sometimes used for close quarters combat. Rixis on the other hand, is a sharp dagger that is also dust enhanced, and is used as well in Flare's close quarters combat. Flare's dust preference for it is electricity and uses it to electrocute his opponents as well as powering the blade like with Crota. He also has a combat knife in one boot, and a gun in the other. Both are used in Flare's devastating combat style. He also has some grenades given to him by Viento.

Semblance
Flare's semblance is known as "Blink" Blink, is a short distance teleport, which Flare uses a lot in combat, though if he uses it too much it can tire him out. The farthest Flare can teleport with Blink is 7 feet, which has also tired him out. With Blink he teleports in a purple flash, and comes back as one as well, though with blink people get a good idea where he most likely can go and this can ruin whatever strategy Flare has in mind.

Combat Style
Against opponents he deems strong, Flare will prefer to go in, close quarters style. He uses mainly Crota, and will try to blink to catch an opponent off guard (though this sometimes fails) If his sword play cannot take down the opponent, he will go for dual wielding with Rixis, and if that still doesn't work he will drop his sword and go full on knife combat. If nothing works, Flare will use his boots to try and catch the opponent off guard, using the blade in his boot and the gun in his other boot. If none of these work, Flare will try to use long range combat, preferably using Crota's assault rifle form. He does have some grenades given to him by Viento, and will use them. Against weak opponents however, Flare will do the most simplest things from tripping them, or to screwing around with them by using Blink, teleporting every time they get close. Though, this doesn't last for long as Flare doesn't know how much he can take with Blink, which can drop his guard down by a lot. Even then, this doesn't stop Flare as once he knows he can't use Blink, he will attempt to end the fight swiftly as possible.
