HC; Affinity with Pyro

Ever since falling underneath this mother element of the seven, Thoma's lifestyle found itself changing in many ways to acclimate to it. Moreso by the means of how his body operates and bonds with Pyro with itself.

One of the core aspects is how his spirit is better attuned with emotion. Reaching certain highs in spirit, feeling and drive genuinely allows life to burn vibrantly within a soul such as his. In kind, it allows it's influences to simmer predominantly at the forefront of his soul, this becomes part of the reason why for poisonous/toxic influences for the soul needs to elevate it's effort to get him down under.

Sunny days, hot ones, he thrives within it all. The temperature would have to get brutal on scales that it'd be debilitating/life threatening for others to get Thoma into a state of heat exhausted. If one were to catch him be sweaty, it'd be due to bodily exertion more than anything else. This falls to his human constitution just following it's rules, compared to the new elemental make up that also composes him. Hot weather is a primary way he can siphon elemental energy in terms of preparedness.

Diving into the form of his martial prowess, similar to how Pyro often teems and burst with life, it led to his direction being fashioned into an 'explosive' style. Igniting the energy within his being, whether of pure elemental energy or will power comes easier, better envisioned to how an all devouring flame loves to fortify it's center, it also leads high scale blast as it's default. This is just one of many styles he can adjust to. Aspects such as improved attacks that require the charging of energy within the soul and elemental power follow under this expertise.

Baths with high temperature water is actually a perfect way to have him healed faster. While unsafe for most with the appropriate manipulations to join him, baths that generate heavy steam accelerates the state of his natural healing. It's often why he prefers this option when by his lonesome. A way to melt away exhaustion and stress from the muscles, to better mend wounds, it's a benefit he'll happily make use of.

There's also more one more boon that comes with his elemental sight. Outside of getting a general view of the elements itself, Thoma's spin on the ability allows him to get a sense of intent generated within an area. Sharper, more focused colors of 'heat' that only gives him one hint; this is a force that intends to do harm. A poker face can unveil their expertise of hiding such intent, but the spirit shaded through the elements can unveil a different tale.

Mind you, he can't read any intentions/thoughts intimately with this ability. It's more akin to a danger sense for a threat intending to make good on it's silent promise.
