Weakness:
Though his tears have healing properties, he can’t heal himself. He can heal anyone else, though. If he wants to. Which is rare.
His fire attacks are hopelessly weak to water and earth, since water drowns out his flames while earth simply smothers them.
Wounds he gets from water and earth spells take a longer time to heal on him than it would normally.
Has a bad habit of over-exerting himself in terms of fire magic when fighting and, depending on how long the fight is, may pass out right after.

Major skills:
 Affinity with Fire: Like the majority of the phoenixes, using fire is second nature to him. Time in the academy has allowed him to improve, but complex spells are either too difficult for him, or too energy-consuming for him to try. Simple casting or the mere summoning of fire requires no words or gestures, but some spells may involve some of either. Overexertion may, at the very least, cause lethargy. At most, it will kill him, though the situation would have to be very severe. Chances are that he will pass out long before that happens.
 Immunity to Fire: While he can still feel the heat of flames, most fires cannot harm him. Things heated up via flames, such as hot metals, will burn him after prolonged contact (around ten seconds or above). Hot water, unfortunately, does not count.
 Resistant to Cold: Let's just say he's the kind of guy to walk through a blizzard with a singlet and shorts.
 Fire Absorption: Applicable only to magic-related fires. Vitalis can drain the energy used to cast flames. He can only do so when his own internal source is depleted, however.

Minor skills:
|| Event Skills
 Healing tears: When he cries, which he can at will, his tears can heal the most severe injuries. While this works on everyone except himself, it does have its limits. The injury must be fresh. He can't cure scars. While he can heal physical wounds (like gashes) and non-physical wounds (like poison), things like severed limbs are beyond his power. The most he can do is stop the bleeding. For some reason though, using this skill in his glamor tires him.
 Flight: .... He's a bird.
 Protection against Water and Earth: He can reduce the amount of damage water and earth spells do to him, thanks to some spells he had learned. When he uses the spells, they only damage him as much as they would someone else. The spell will last for two hours and he won't be able to use it again for four hours.
 Knives: His skills with knives is one carried over from his previous life. Though rusty at first, he has managed to improve dramatically from constant practice.
 Sure Footed Stride: Allows Vitalis to keep his balance when in his glamour even in terrain that would otherwise prove unable to be crossed. He can also fall from greater heights without getting hurt, but he doesn't seem to use this for anything more than being more reckless in the crazy stunts he enjoys pulling off.
 Wispy Flight: Vitalis' air sprite turns into an ephemeral state that allows it to move quickly and through narrow openings. The downside is that strong gusts of wind can potentially blow it apart, but neither seem to concerned about that...
 Well Grounded: Vitalis is largely unaffected by small electrical shocks, though larger blasts will still injure him.
Resolve of Stone: Vitalis takes twice as long to fatigue physically
Limited Tremorsense: Vitalis' Geodeling can sense vibrations in the ground to 'see' its surroundings, with a range of up to 10 feet. The only drawback that the object in question must be in contact with the surface the Geodeling is touching.
Veiled Truths: The duplicitous nature of the Jaguar God has rubbed off on you, for better or for worse. You find that when telling a lie your tongue flows much more freely, and when hiding the truth keeping a straight face is much easier. While this does not give you the supernatural ability to deceive you now seem to know just how to honey your words when telling falsehoods and people are much more likely to believe you.
Ghost Tongue: The Soul Wisp has the ability to speak with any ghost without the need of sharing a language. This ability does not compel a ghost to answer however, or to answer truthfully.
Masque of the Dead: By concentrating carefully and focusing on their glamour a student can appear as a member of the dead to other dead beings. This ability has no effect on other non-undead/dead supernatural beings or mortals, but to the dead the student will appear as one of their own, and will even have minor cosmetic illusions appropriate to the dead to match. Any use of any other abilities cancels this effect. This dead form is unique and unchangeable
Spelunker: Your time in the underground temple has given you uncanny abilities to navigate underground. While underground you always know how roughly far down you are (Measured in time to surface in rough hour estimates). In addition when forced with choosing a path underground you have innate sense of which leads you further into the earth and which leads you up, although this doesn't warn of anything else that might be in your way.

Personality:
 Confident: His ego is the size of the solar system.
 Lazy ass: He won't help unless it profits him in some way. The only time he would do something out of free will is if he truly cares about someone.
 Hard to insult: Majority of the names you call him will only earn you a laugh.
 Loyal: Only if he trusts you and considers you a true friend will he show a surprising amount of loyalty. It won't save you from the pranks and the wise-cracks, but if you need him, he'll be there.
 Childish: Though wise (not that said wisdom shows very often), he can truly act like a thirteen-year-old at times.... Or maybe even a five-year-old.....Whether it's when he's embarrassed or really playful, he's a lot more likeable when he's like this. Unfortunately, few people get to witness this behaviour.
 Sarcastic jerk: His default behaviour. If you can stand him during the first encounter, you can stand him during the next. He tends to be a little nicer the next time. Barely.
 Clingy: But only to Sylvia, his girlfriend. He doesn't really 'cling', but he does like being near her and hugging her.
 Cleithrophobic: It's not very obvious, but you can tell when he's panicking. When he's trapped, he becomes extremely quiet and jumpy and refuses to make eye contact with anyone. Even after the event is over, he may remain silent for a long while yet.
 Easy to anger: Depending on how you push him, you can piss him off really easily.
 Hypocrite: What he says and what he does seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum fairly often.

History:
Vitalis is, as stated, a phoenix. Born from the ashes of his previous life, he remembers portions of his previous lives, the most recent one being the clearest. Upon rebirth, he spent the first few years simply recollecting the basics such as flying, talking and hunting. Most of his memories, from previous lives, had yet to be recovered, though he found an old notebook, almost ancient-looking, written by his third life, copied from his first life, near the spot he had rebirthed. Reading through it, everything seemed familiar, but not enough that it didn't seem like the words of a stranger.

It was during these few years where he relished fights and was sadistic to a fault. After that, he calmed down somewhat and decided to explore the world to add to his already extensive knowledge. Unfortunately, flying around as a flaming bird has its drawbacks. Such as people trying to catch you to cut your head off and make you into a trophy. Vitalis found this out the hard way. He had stopped for a rest and before he knew it. He was caged up and about to be gunned to death. He managed to escape by incinerating both cage and captors and, after much panicking decided that he really needed to find an alternative method of travel. Eventually, he found the school called Monster Academy and barely hesitated to enroll himself.

Since joining Monster Academy, he has met several people. Now with a number of friends (and maybe the same amount of frienemies), he managed to avoid getting in trouble the whole year. Perhaps the most surprising thing though, was that he managed to get a girlfriend, Sylvia. Even he wonders how at times. Currently though, all he wants to do is graduate and travel. He made a promise to Sylvia that he would help her look for her 'perfect home', though why she doesn't like to travel is beyond him. He has also started to wonder about his parents, leading him to begin research on phoenixes.

Another year has passed. Vitalis remains an aloof bastard to new faces, but close friends are allowed to see his softer, often childish, side (though commenting on it would not save them a smack to the head). If anything, his cleithrophobia has only worsenened due to an incident in which his left hand and wrist was crushed. Though now healed, the mental scars remain. He seems eager to get his third and fourth year over and done with, simply itching to return to the life of a nomad.

Likes:
Playing with his knife.
Blowing stuff up.
Stuff that blow up.
Fighting.
Someone running their hand along his spine (though he will never admit it)
Sylvia. (she's his. Try your luck with her and taste the underside of his mud-stained boot.)

Dislikes:
Warm places.
Being bored.
Spinach.
Being restrained in any way (this includes rules but he tolerates the ones at the academy. He still wants to explore the outside world without being made into a trophy.)
People flirting with Sylvia. He's a little possessive of her but tries not to let it show.

Roleplay:
 Example 1 (Script):
Vitalis: *ahhhh.... hot..... Why is it so hot? No matter how many times he asks himself that question, the only answer he can come up with is....* Because the sun is a freaking ball of fire and deserves to be destroyed..... *he's sweating, his hoodie sticking to his skin as he turns on the bed. It's too hot to go outside....* Ugh.... I hate summer..... *the sound of snickering follows the sound of the door opening and closing but the phoenix doesn't bother trying to see who it is. He already knows.* Shut up, birdbrain. *he flips his roommate the finger, making Aristaeus laugh, and retaliates by sending a dart of fire at the griffin without looking. Finally, a grin makes its way over his face when Aristaeus yelps.*

 Example 2 (Paragraph):
Vitalis:
Fucking finally.... He grinned wide at his roommates, lifting his scarred left hand for them to see. The uneven lines crisscrossing the skin were still pink and a little tender to the touch, but that hardly mattered.
"First one to the borders of the forest has to wear a dress~" he challenged, and they rolled their eyes in response, even as they grinned back. Without further ado, Vitalis spun around and ran for the window. It was already open, a soft breeze wafting in. In a smooth motion that only conveyed how well-practiced he was, he launched straight through the opening, twisting around in the air to see Xaber and Aristaeus doing the same. He laughed wildly, throwing his arms out as his form rippled, flames blinding him until they disappeared a moment later.

With a loud cry, the phoenix shot skywards, wings outstretched to catch the wind. Behind him, he could hear the sound of wings unfurling, and a glance behind him confirmed that both Xaber and Aristaeus were catching up. It was time to see just how out of practice he was... Vitalis laughed again, tucking his wings in and diving down to skim the very treetops of the forested area as they drew over.

 Schedule:
Online most days, if not every day. I never go to chat and prefer roleplaying through comments or Notes. For activity... Well, I love MA and try to do something for all the events so yeah.... Kinda active? Enough that Vitalis got to 2nd year, anyway |D

If you wish to roleplay, just shoot me a Note and I'll reply as soon as possible.
Be warned that Vitalis can curse like a truck driver when he feels like it.

ETC:
The phoenix rebirth cycle has a 'random function' in it. Depending on his luck, Vitalis' ability to turn into a human temporarily was decided upon rebirth. His luck held until his fifth (current) rebirth where he found out that that ability was lost. (Note: This doesn't mean that he definitely won't get the ability on his next rebirth. It's a 50:50 chance)
If he had the ability to turn into a human, he would look different from his glamor. His skin would be darker and his hair redder. And, obviously, he would look a LOT younger.
He can't swim.
There are only four people that he truly cares about: Tisiphone (adopted sister), Sylvia (girlfriend), and his roomates/best friends: Xaber and Aristaeus.
His armband is something he has carried around throughout his lives, a last gift from who he suspects to be his parent.
He has a well-preserved leather diary that belongs to his first life.
Ambidextrous, but right hand dominant.
He calls his air sprite 'Breeze'. He has a lot of other names for it though, like 'you little shit' and 'son of a-' (the rest of that either varies depending on mood or he's cut off by someone/thing). Breeze is like its master, in the sense that it loves causing mischief. It doesn't seem to think very far into the future though, and tends to end up running to Vitalis when it messes up.
His Geodeling is named 'Rock'. Rock is generally grumpy as hell almighty and is usually just sulking in Vit's pants pocket. It has a grudge against Breeze and pretty much the rest of the world.
Vitalis spent an hour alternating between snickering his ass off and groaning in agony when Xaber named his own Geodeling 'Roll' to match 'Rock'.
His Soul Wisp is named Bird. He is getting increasingly done with Xaber's naming skills.
