~ 16, Wrath, Male, Pan
----------------------------------------------------------Resentful, hateful and definitely explosive, Basil is just one filled with hate. The only word to describe him is misanthrophy. True, he treats no one with kindness, accepts no politeness. In his world, it is all negatives. No laughter, no empathy. Only violence, rage and more anger.
Coming from a family of Wraths, Basil has no pleasant childhood. None. All over his house, empty wine bottle littered the living room as his parents yelled and quarreled every single moment. No matter what, they would never learn to shut up but scream at each other to radiate their anger. Indeed, the family seemed to be a bottomless pit of anger where however deep you reach in, you would never uncover the bottom. No, you would never live to see the end of their wrath.
Fire. The only natural element that Basil could relate to. The flickering flames of hell pleased him. The roaring fires enchanted him. He felt infinite. Whole amidst fires. The only thing that would bring a hint of tranquility in his turbulent life.
This resentful boy dislikes everything. Humans, animals, anything alive brings hatred to him. He hates the company of people, hates raucous crowds, hates silence... It seems that nothing would ever please him but there is one more out there. Besides fire. Plants.
His name closely related to the world of botany, Basil has developed a secret passion towards plants - the gentle swaying greenery that had him enraptured since young. No one could ever know about this; not his parents, not his friends. Wraths were supposed to turn their noses down on everything. No hobbies, no enjoyment. Yet, he couldn't bear the thought of leaving his love towards plants behind. He would do anything, anything at all for them.
Deep beneath his fiery mask, he has a heart. One that could spread so much love that he shoved it deep down since young. He couldn't permit himself to start loving. It was contagious. He could never stop then. And he couldn't want to hurt those he loved.
Love and hate, the two polar qualities, yet both are present in this impulsive teen. There is a minute possibility that the both of them explode in an inferno, showering sparks on those he know. Would that bring harm, or would that shine so brightly that you couldn't help but gawk mesmerized at the incandescent colors?
~ The emotional currents in me could pull a man down, drowning; the waves I suppress could break a man... the things in me. They could destroy people if I were reckless enough to let them out.
