Pyrocumulus

is an alien slated to appear in Starlight's Soliloquy.

Appearance
(needs expansion sorry)

Pyrocumulus is surrounded with grey and orange smoke clouds. Orange scarves hang from his thin, bony frame like the wraps of a mummy. He is armored in what looks like something ripped straight out of Mortal Kombat or Ninja Gaiden, yet his lower arms are exposed. His flesh is black, but glows red-hot at his extremities.

Abilities and Equipment

 * Pyrocumulus is able to induce heat in objects, causing them to combust.
 * Pyrocumulus is able to discharge electricity from himself, usually in the form of lightning or chain lightning.
 * Pyrocumulus is immune to electricital currents.
 * Pyrocumulus can manipulate wind. This can be used to blow smoke and clouds around, essentially controlling those as well.
 * As an extention of his wind and combustion manipulation, Pyrocumulus can control smoke and ash, provided he has something to create them with.
 * By manipulating his wind and fire together, Pyrocumulus is capable of creating a deadly fire whirl or even a firestorm.

Weaknesses and Limits

 * Even though Pyrocumulus can discharge electricity, he does not have control over any type of electricity.
 * Pyrocumulus cannot control fires, he can only cause objects to combust into flames or influence them with wind or more fire.
 * Pyrocumulus can quickly lose control of his flames.
 * Pyrocumulus cannot extinguish fires.

Appearances

 * None so far

Trivia

 * Pyrocumulus's design is based off of real pyrocumulus (aka flammagenitus) clouds, which are the results of fires and volcanic eruptions. They are associated with firestorms and often produce lightning without any rain. Really, this was too cool of an idea to pass up and I hope you're jealous.
 * Originally, Sol was opposed to having any fire aliens in Sol 10 and The Mark of the Universe (with Tectonyx being the closest thing) because fire aliens are just boring and uncreative in general, but pyrocumuli so cool that he had to do it.
 * Seriously, fire and wind together in nature is SO COOL. Fire totally isn't a destructive power, especially when you consider its role in secondary succession. Fire doesn't destroy for no reason; it has a purpose. In nature, fire destroys to make room for new life. It's poetic. I'm totally geeking out right now, so just forget you ever read this. I've totally just had a fire epiphany while designing this alien.
 * Months after writing this, I still think fire's pretty cool.
 * If anybody on this wiki tags this as a fire alien I swear to god I'm going to pack myself up in a cardboard box, ship myself by train to the nearest town, roll downhill to your house, and deliver you a swift kick to the nuts. And then I'll commandeer your computer to change it back.
