PERSONALITY:

 

Neal Shaara is a man who is quick with a smile, an anecdote, or whatever he believes is needed in the situation. He is almost the typical nice guy, and has seemingly little or no malice in his heart. Even in the heat of battle he is smiling, masking any turmoil within with thick laughter, a humorous story, and a cavalier attitude.

There is no evil in him at all. Imbued at an early age with a deep, strong sense of justice taught to him by his father, Neal always strives to do what is right by his own standards. He is a constant helping hand to any who ask for one, a crying shoulder for anyone who needs it, and a friend unafraid to smack you upside the head when you need it and take you out for a beer or two.

GOALS:

 

To see a world where men and women are no longer called upon to die, a world that no longer needs martyrs.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

ADVANTAGES:

 

ATTRACTIVE - Neal's exotic features and light accent have been known to make women swoon. his smile seems to infect others and his taste in clothes accentuates his features.

CHARISMATIC - Neal's openness, good-heated nature, and easy smile tends to draw those around him. He can rally a crowd and soothe the meak all in a single rousing speech.

CONVICTION - As the son of a police chief, Neal believes strongly in what is right, and will always strive to uphold that idea, no matter the threat.

DAMN HEALTHY! - Neal avoids fatty foods, especially beef, and works out regularly.

HEROIC - He was instilled with innate sense of justice from an early age by his father, which he continues to carry with him through all the hardships of his life.

POWERS:

 

PLASMA CONTROL - Neal can control fields of highly-charged particles, known as Plasma. His Power has two main uses. The first is shaping plasma fields into any shape desired, usually via his plasma shield. He can fire intense blasts of plasma, enough to render a human unconscious. He can form shields around him to prevent some physical attacks by ionizing all incoming matter and dissipating energy signatures.

PLASMA GENERATION: Neal can project Plasma fields around his body in close proximity. Due to the nature of this plasma, it does damage on two levels. The primary level is brute force; the field does physical damage as his hits his opponent or target. Due to the plasma's intense heat, there is also substantial burn damage.

FLIGHT - Neal can fly through air and space by directing his plasma downwards to achieve thrust. This created a trail behind him, and poses a danger to anyone immediately behind him, like a rocket's jet. Due to this method of flight he is capable of great speeds so long as he is contained in a protective shield. But it because he's recently just got his wings, Neal is having some issues with maneuvering.

FIGHTING SKILLS:

 

PHILOSOPHY - The science of the nature of things, generally the fundamental beliefs as they come to be conceptualized and formulated, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods. It compromises logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology. This skill also includes theology, the study of the nature of God, His relationship with humanity and with the world, and religious truths.

LINQUISTICS - Neal speaks fluent English, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Arabic.

OBSERVATION - Neal has a tendency to see the writing on the wall quite easily.

MEDIATION - In order to calm his inner demons, Neal has taken up mediation to help him control his emotions as well as his powers.

COMBAT STYLE (Martial Arts) - Kalaripayattu, It includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods. Because the discipline is tied to the region of Indian the style is learned from, Neal's studies focus more on the philosocal side of the art.

DISADVANTAGES:

 

CHIVALROUS - Neal was raised with an innate sense of goodness reinforced by his parents. He's the kind of guy who walks old ladies across streets, opens doors, and is quick with a compliment.

UNCONTROLLABLE POWER - During times of stress, Agni's powers go wild, striking things and people at random. If he is angry, scared, or stressed, if the stress is extreme, the power is overclocked to twice normal effect.

OVER-CONFIDENCE - Agni balances on a fine line between the two, and over-confidence has, on occasion, put him in more danger than was necessary.

DARK SECRET - There's something about him that he doesn't want people to know. Neal hasn't spoken to anyone what happened to his brother and his girlfriend. The truth does haunt him from time to time.

ADVERSARY - Karima Shapandar - Head of one of the largest Terrorist Cells in India, Karima's influence stretches throughout the globe.

HISTORY

Neal Shaara was born in Calcutta, India, to one of the nation's wealthiest and most affluent families. He had an older brother, Sanjit, and the family was very close knit. Neither brother ever wanted for anything. As they progressed into their teenage years, the two boys garnered a reputation for being heartthrobs, a role Neal embraced with passion and glee, but Sanjit resented. A rift formed between them, expounded when Sanjit rejected his family’s Hindu traditions and converted to Islam.

Neal met a woman, Karima Shapandar, and felt an immediate attraction. Unfortunately, so did Sanjit. Both men intended to make Karima their bride. Around this time, Sanjit began to fall under the sway of a radical Muslim terrorist group. He saw Karima as not just a potential bride, but as a potential convert. Deciding it was better to force her conversion than allow her to become a heathen, he kidnapped Karima from her home and fled towards the border with Neal in hot pursuit.

Neal caught up to his brother and Karima at the terrorist’s hideout. He was quickly overpowered and the terrorist leader prepared to brainwash Karima and Neal. Partway through the process Neal’s mutant powers triggered, allowing him to break free. He tried to rescue Karima, but was met with resistance. But when it was Karima and not Sanjit, the deceit had come full circle.

Overwhelmed by the cruel intentions of his girlfriend, Neal tried to get his brother and escape, but when explosives strapped on his brother detonated...all came quickly to an end. When the smoke cleared, It was Neal’s own mutant powers that had saved him. Unfortunately the act had taken his brother’s life, leaving Neal blaming himself in the process.

Neal returned home and entered into a deep depression. He deeply mourned the loss of his girlfriend and brother. Nothing his parents tried could seem to snap him out of it. Eventually his father brought him to a conference in London. On their first night in England, he and his father decided to take in a fashion show paid for by the hosts of the conference.

This is where Neal met Moira Mactaggert. The woman spoke to the boy offering a way to teach him to control his powers. She told him of a school in the United States where he could attend to help him control his powers. Fearing the destructive energies he produced and manipulated, Neal accepted and attended Xavier’s School. Returning home to India with his father, Neal stated his intentions and his enrollment at the Institute. Happy to see a new found life in their son, his parents accepted his new path allowing him to travel to America and begin a new path.

Coming to America was good for him. With someone like Neal, it was hard to find purpose in his life...after all he had seen his brother killed in front of him. But Neal never truly forgave himself at what had happened. He began to ponder Hindu philosophies, and the study of Kalaripayattu to quench his fiery heart.

Taking the codename Agni, the Hindu God of Fire; Neal had a renewed focus in his life. He would learn to control his powers, and once he mastered them he would fin Karima and make her pay dearly.
