Rian Wildfire

Rian Wildfire is a main character in the Course Books.

Physical Description

(Taken from First Impressions) a tall, lanky youth with fiery red hair stepped through, looked around, then dropped his bags and sat on a couch. He had freckles for days, and they didn’t stop with his face. His long, bare arms were covered in the marks, and yet more hid beneath his short spikes of red hair. His long arms and legs only made him appear taller, creating not the image of a giant, but of a complete bean pole.

Background

Though he apears normal and grew up with a relatively standard upbringing, Rian is in fact an artificial-being. His mother was a scientist and considered one of the Foundation's for-most geneticists, with Rian being the (somewhat illegal) result of an extensive research project.

Using resources made available to her by the Gudersnipe Foundation, Rian's mother traveled around the verse, tracking down various Wildfires and taking genetic samples from them.

With the genom mapped, she then calculated which genes were associated with the wildfire ability, and fertilized dozens of her own eggs, finally screening out the embroy that would become Rian(making him biologically her own son, but with dozens--perhaps hundreds--of fathers).

Rian was then incubated within an artificial womb and brought to term. His mother raised him as she would a normal child, and he was eventually admitted to Gudersnipe School.

Rian never fully learned the details of his background, though it was eventually learned by the rest of his team.
