Physical Description
Memphis stands at about 5' 9" and bares fire-y shaded short hair and gentle amber coloured eyes. He has a lean figure, notably well kept and looked after as represented through his athletic build - at times considered unmovable should you try to mess with him. He prides himself in his physicality and appearance, though not to a point that he is considered vain - the demon just takes an interest in his image. Typically he can be seen slouched against something, a cigarette hanging over the side of his lip. Memphis is also considered fashionable and tends to dress to suit his particular style, most recognisably a t-shirt, jeans and a black coat.
"As long as I am looking decent that is all I care for."
"A good demon does not necessarily have to lack an attitude."

Abilties | Powers
Eruption | Memphisâs entire body is made up of fire and is contained within his âhuman formâ. But should he desire to he is able to leak flames from his body and use it offensively, although much of Memphisâs attacks lack a considerable amount of care and precision. Especially this one as it may suggest. This is his most explosive attack known. Sourced from his body he is able to manipulate his fire through his mind and perform large scaled fire-ranged attacks without even lifting a finger. This also works as a form of defense, though its primary purpose is destruction and elimination. Like a volcano erupting it literally burns and consumes everything within its reach.
"Simply, when the eyes turn red it means your gonna be dead, heh."
Advanced Strength | Memphis harbors strength that frightfully surpasses many demons known. For sure he may appear strong from day-to-day but in all truth his strength is limited within his human form. There is actually another level to his physicality, an additional source of power that the demon keeps hidden away until an occasion when he needs it. This strength is his âtrue strengthâ. Very little would get in his way when accessing this, the demon is scarily intimidating.
"Yeah - I'd love to see you get in my way and stop me. Go ahead."
Heat-Wave | Memphis is able to generate enough heat within his body that he can then in turn project it outwards and melt his surrounding area and everything in it â or alternatively he can melt objects by touching them. Likewise, this also raises room temperatures and causes uncomfortable amounts of heat to weave in and out of the air surrounding him. People may faint or pass out in his presence, or worse. If the heat proves hot enough a fire may form though this is not a common occurrence.
"You know what they say, if you can't stand the heat..."
"To take orders is one thing, to give them is another."

"I wonder if he really likes working under a demon? Does he find my methods amusing, or what?"

History
Memphisâs existence begins in a different universe entirely, though he does not know the exact name of this place that he called home, he does however remember its warmth very well. But the demon was brought into this world by a powerful mage who summoned him by accident and from that moment on claimed ownership of the fire demon â it is also how he came to be known as Memphis. His name, his identity. Though much younger then the demon was still the same as he is now.
Though not one to call himself a bad demon, he wasnât overly good either. Memphis generally viewed himself as a demon who did what made sense and also done whatever the mage asked of him. Why? He doesnât really know â it just made sense he guessed. And considering he was in a world that made little sense to him the demon felt obligated to keep himself in good favour with the mage, which he did. In turn the wise mage in a way raised the demon and shaped him into the figure we see today. Powerful, intimidating. A demon not to be reckoned with. He was also educated and to a degree tamed by the elderly mage.
The pair lived together peacefully, surprisingly. Memphis adopted the mage as his master, someone who he obeyed and assisted, aided, and ensured everything he wished came true. But their lives were disrupted when his master was offered a position at an academy for young demons and mages, and given the mages old age it was unlikely he could accept anyway, as he wasn't as young as he use to be and likewise wasn't in a state to take on the challenge. Instead the mage decided to send his demon in his place and take the position as Headmaster â a sudden decision that the demon was naturally uneasy about but since the mage asked, he accepted.
Memphis was given freedom to move to the academy and take up the role, as his mage felt this was best though would still keep in contact with the demon, and vise vera. His mage deep down knew that his demon could make a difference â and no whiny students would get away without feeling his wrath neither. So, that is where we find Memphis now, beginning his new life as a Headmaster and seeing what awaits him. He is still adapting to this new way of life.
"I have been given free will to do as I see fit - be warned."
Other
~ Smoking ~
Memphisâs entire body is made up of fire â but due to being in the human world he is âdisguisedâ as a human and thus has a human form that it is contained within. But at times he can feel a little too âstuffyâ and needs to smoke to exhale excess âfireâ from his body, or rather smoke. This is why he smokes a lot! Like seriously a lot.
"Yeah, whatever. Does it bother you? Do I care? - No."
