• "incredibly" Strong, agile, fast ( fast for normal people, but not Sonic fast) and overall well built, has a fighting style based off of a martial art combined with breakdancing moves (?)
  
  
• Is best know for being quick to anger and could be considered very hotheaded and stubborn most of the time. But, deep down, he is very goal driven, has a strong sense of justice, and is loyal to his "true friends". He also loves to "crack jokes" and always tries to makes the best out of a bad situation. (which may be partially due to his loyalty to his friends)

• Love for spicy food (to the point of occasionally drinking straight form a hot sauce bottle)
  
  
• Love of Red Bull (or whatever similar drink on Mobius)
  
  
• Incredible cooking skill (partly due to him having the ultimate kitchen utensil affixed his right shoulder) which is often disregarded due to him making it far too spicy.
  
  
• Hate (not fear, hate) of swimming and ice.

Yeah, but everyone gets in a horrible accident as a child that results in the loss of their parents. Too cliched (and I'm ashamed to admit that I've done it too... >_> ).

The arm needs to have a more clear-cut definition. How does it transform into so many forms? Is it comprised of nanites rather than solid metal? Liquid organic metal that changes form? Replicator blocks perhaps (SG-1 reference, whoo!)?

Power Fuel: When he uses his powers, are they simply reliant on how hot Ryan is, or does it actually sap away at his body heat (using too much would cause him to be cold, even to the point of frostbite).

Quote:

 

Power Control: If he doesn't fuel his powers with body heat, think about this; if his powers are reliant on how hot he is, and he generates an aura of fire about himself (or even something as little as a wall of fire or a fireball), that would heat him up even more, correct? Thus, a hotter aura is made, heating him up even further, and the cycle continues, increasing his power exponentially. Does this increase have a limit? If it increases too much, could he lose control of the power and do a Peter Petrelli (blow up and take out a city the size of New York)? At what point does it become too dangerous to use this rapid increase of power without causing collateral damage and melting the flesh of anyone nearby?

See, that's sort of why I created this thread. I need some ideas from others to bounce off of. Although I'm pretty sure that it wasn't originally part of the prosthetic's design (which was made, and is currently maintained by, someone of his age), I'm not sure how or why it does have that ability. In fact, all I know now is that I want it to be. XP

Again, not too sure. While the first option seems preferable, the second one seems more "realistic". I originally thought it as not only flame manipulation, but temperature manipulation also. Does/can metabolism have any sort of hand in this? (thus the Red Bullgeneric energy drink addiction/dependency?)

Quote:

 

That does make sense. As for the limit, I'm considering that he would, like you said, have some sort of power source, rather than just being able to infinitely heat his body. I'd say that his ability to heat himself is limited by the amount his body can take (He can withstand more heat than most, but he wouldn't survive, say, a lava-bath) but also how much "fuel" he has, which is, as you T.B.A as of now.

(P.S: I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question correctly/as good as possible, but, well, I'm not that good with this kind of thing. Haven't really been into this Role-playing/character creating thing that long.)

Depending on the forms the arm can take, always keep in mind that every part must have a place somewhere. This isn't the original series of Transformers; bits don't just magically vanish.

Quote:

 

The temperature manipulation would tie in well with the reliance on heat, I'm thinking... but using it on the self would be a limited process (otherwise we get the whole explosion of power thing happening again, LOL). As for metabolism... well, I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that; my knowledge of that sort of stuff is limited at best. ^_^;; Someone else might be able to answer that question for you, but as far as I know, energy drinks like Red Bull are designed to increase reaction and alertness rather than temperature.

No problem. That's why we're here to help. Besides, what you've got so far is great; it just needs a lil' sharpening.

Well, after thinking about it, I'm leaning more towards the second option you gave me; the one where he could heat him self using his initial power, which in turn would increase his pyrokinetic abilities, which could, in theory, make him infinitely more powerful, but, there needs to be a toll of some kind...
