"Sometimes, the need to change comes knocking. For me, that came pretty fast after my first ones got cut up real good. Since I was now on my own, I couldn't rely on Starshard to get it made for me, and so I went about getting a entirely new design and elements along with adjustments to the previous design's parts before carrying them over to this new one. And I have to say, I love the result! Emerald Blaze is back on the scene, and his flames are burning brighter than ever!"

Name: Rodrick Tolston

Alias: Emerald Blaze

Species: Timber Wolf

Height: 5'7"

Age: 24

Voice: General American

Abilities: Elano(mystical green fire) manipulation and creation, elano portal manifestion, enhanced condition, rapid healing factor, effective agelessness.

Weaknesses: One of the biggest weaknesses Elano has is Hellfire, which can counteract many of the boons it grants if he is hit with hellfire. His identity is also public, but that has yet to be exploited.

Personality: Energetic, confident, and playful. Rodrick loves being a superhero, despite not being happy with having superpowers at first, though it opened many doors for him in life. He is often concerned for his family, especially since they have not been attacked yet for his entire career, with his identity being public.

Background: A timber wolf who was born to loving parents, Susie and Kalvin Tolston. He lived a happy life growing up a wide-eyed child, but in his teen years, he began to show signs of growing superpowers. Exhibiting numerous enhanced physical capabilities, the ability to manifest and manipulate some kind of odd green flame, something that was imbued in him right after he was born during what many called a crisis at the hospital he was born at.

Rodrick at first did not want anything to do with these sudden powers, but he could not get rid of him, so he went about trying to find a way to control the green flames at the very least. Under the tutelage of Starshard, he managed to do as he intended and learned the name of the green flames was Elano, a special magical fire that originated from another world. After finding out his mentor is a superheroine, he was convinced to use his powers for good, thus taking on the mantle of Emerald Blaze, learning martial arts from Wenyan after getting directed to him by Starshard.

I had been pondering on getting a revamp of Emerald Blaze's costume done for a while, and I had finally settled on this design. Hope you all like it as much as I do!
