seems to be filling those around him with morale. The next thing you will
notice about Andrew, is he always has to do the right thing.
He can't turn down help to a person in need. This may be one of his biggest
weaknesses. Andrew is for the most part reserved and practical, however he
has been known in the past to let his emotions cloud his judgement and get the
best of him on a few occasions. The Phoenix refuses to kill, regardless
of how terrible a criminal is standing in front of him, he will not end their
life. He never lets his ego get the best of him, and remains humble despite
being one of the most powerful superhumans to ever live. From traveling Dimensions with Elena Marie, The Phoenix has learned that all life is valuable. To cherish his loved ones who are left, and to fight for those who can not.

History:

Andrew Joseph Pettiglio was born to a middle class family in Boston in the year 2000. His father a painter, his mother worked at a local gas station. The only sibling he has is a sister born two years after him.

Andrew lived a relatively normal life, up until the age of 12 where his powers had manifested. Accidentally he set his entire middle school on fire, and was the only survivor left. Having to transfer schools, Andrew typically kept to himself until he reached high school. He learned he not only had fire, but enormous strength and speed and durability, and used these gifts to play sports. He had grown up watching the hero Pain fight crime and loved him. So he began training with his powers as a sophomore to be ready to battle when it came his time. Little did he know what his time would cost. As his time went on, he would stop petty thieves, and local crimes in his small suburb of Boston. He then learned he had superhuman reflexes and was a natural born fighter.

Upon graduation Andrew decided to go to college in New York and continue to practice crime fighting. Meeting a large list of heroes, Phoenix founded the team The Talons. Many of the Talons became close friends with Andrew, his best friend Sean, and even romantic with Tyuki. They fought bravely together in the New York Assault, as well as the Reverse Dimension invasion. Towards the end of the invasion, Phoenix's family had been killed right in front of him. Slaughtered like animals. Leaving him saddened and broken. Taking to the empire state building for his final battle with Holocaust, the monster who started this all. The world thought he had vanished as the hero and villain exploded in the sky. Leaving nothing but a mask falling to the ground.

Andrew had been saved by a different reality's Elena Marie. The one they call Realm Walker. In a moment he thought was the end, was simply a new beginning. The training vigorous and yet rewarding. He would see places he was never able to even imagine. Training among dragons, beasts, and insane climates. Gravity higher than that of earth. Taking beatings until she had helped him reach his potential. His truest form of the flame within. It shined a brilliant white with sparks of gold. His fire more powerful now. His control over it mastered. Physically stronger, faster, more durable, and more reactive. He was left with some nasty scars from claws and such. He however got to the point where his metagene mutated. Granting him immense durability. The claws no longer cut the same. He was able to take down a dragon, after dragon using only his flames as she directed. Monsters with only his body. 2 years had passed in the dimension he was from however to him it had been 6. Not quite sure of what to make of things when it was finally time to return, Phoenix was ready to reveal himself back to the world. He was ready to be their hero. He was ready to take back his life.

Or so he thought. He made enemies with a powerful man named Lucius Alba. The leader of a nation and a group called Rise. Their first bout the arrogant hero took him on in sin city. He felt unstoppable. Lucius was not a man who took kindly to the once head strong and cocky hero’s behavior. It was time to teach the kid a lesson.

Alba promised to take it all from him. A promise he would keep. They would go on to wage war and Rise paint a picture much different than what went down. Of course, different people had different opinions. However, the Talons, and The Phoenix were dead. The promise was kept.

When Andrew awoke, he found himself in a place of peace. People all looked calm. He felt a calmness in himself. He was greeted by his late father. Confused as to how he was talking to a dead man his dad explained to him that he too was in the afterlife. However not for long. So, the time he had was used to learn his family not only had the gift of fire, but ice as well. He then informed him of the curse of immortality. The power of the fire would allow him to heal and come back to life three time in total. He would be able to heal others with this power as well, but he was told to take it easy. He would pass out if he tried to push it. Like a muscle it would have to grow. Finally, he would be able to give up his own immortality to bring one life back from beyond the grave. Healing himself would be much easier. So, with his ice powers and new fire. He saw his family in the afterlife, as well as some other faces that would sort out issues down the road. He was ready to return to Earth once more.

Upon his arrival he went directly to a woman who had been his enemy for years. Elena Vexus. He wanted her to teach him how to be a better fighter. How to let go of some of that restraint when he needed to, and to put him through the ringer physically and with his powers. She agreed to help him, and the two took time together before he was done with his new techniques, he had been taught discipline. He now however feared his own fire. Almost a mental block.

Humbled and a much different outlook on life he returned to the public eye under a new moniker. The Phoenix was dead. The new symbol he would represent would be The Patriot. Fighting along side the other heroes of the world. Forming a new group called Halo and focusing on the disease and not the symptoms. The people. The planet. He, a changed man, now fights for those who cannot.

The Powers and Weaknesses

Bought 5 weaknesses off with first 5 advancements
Powers

Power 1:Perfected Pyrokinesis. His fire has been trained very well over the years. It burns up to 7000 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks to Elena Marie his fire is now White and Golden.

Power 2: Mach 3 Super Speed. He will need to build up to reach this speed.

Power 3: Superhuman Reflexes. Andrew can see a bullet coming, he doesn't have to dodge it, but he can. He is also an expert hand to hand fighter.

Power 4: Andrew can lift 50,000 tons, his strength is incredible, and he can leap buildings and punch with extreme force because of this.

Power 5: Superhuman Durability. Bullets bounce from his skin. A human's punch would hurt themselves, he is durable in every sense of the word.

Power 6: Flame Regeneration: This is for all intense and purpose a unique form of regeneration. Andrew can heal himself down to a molecular level. From Cuts, to lost limbs, to diseases, to mutagens. This power allows Andrew to essentially heal from anything time pending. A limb can regrow as fast as a few minutes while surface cuts and scrapes are almost instant. Disease and other cell infections, as well as deep wounds take a few seconds to shake off. This new power has granted Andrew the gift and curse of immortality. If "killed" After 12 hours his body will set ablaze and he will wake up. Full memories intact. This a very active power. It will not take effect on it's own, and he must concentrate for it to happen. The only situations it will be passive are situations in which normal human cells would be able to fight something off. For example the common cold would last a few seconds, while a meta level virus would take concentration to push out of himself.

Weakness: If magic inflicts the wounds then they take longer to heal

Power 7: Perfected Cryokinesis: After speaking with his father in the after life, Andrew has learned his family lineage also has the ability to tame ice like their fire. The ice is as durable as he is for the most part. Of course in times of needing to create it in seconds it will be much easier to bash through and melt, though still quite tough. The key to his ice isn't how cold it get's, but how durable it is. From constructs, to weapons, to shields on civilians, he uses his ice as an energy manipulator would use their power, just with more limitation as Ice is a solid. While this ice isn't going to freeze you to the bone at first touch, it certainly feels cold.

Weakness: The less focused he is while trying to create a much larger structure, the easier it crumbles. Also, since he is new to the power, using it too much will cause his internal temperature to drop drastically, which could be fatal as he is used to constantly being hot. Lastly, high amounts of ice can cause his nose to bleed, and dizziness as of now. However as he gets better, that specific symptom will begin to subside.

Andrew has the choice of saving one person from either death itself, or the brink of it, in exchange for his immortality.
(The immortality will only be used for 3 major plots, one of which has already been used)

His trusty Bo-Staff: Thanks to Elena he has shed his old Katana for a staff enchanted by the witch herself.
It is insanely durable. When spun with enough force and a pure heart the staff will create a wind tunnel knocking everything in it's way.
However, it cab be used by others. This is it's greatest weakness. While those not pure of heart are unable to activate it's wind, it is still a powerful staff.
