Homebrew Fiera Species Details

Eternal History

Fiera are viewed as lesser and more human versions of fire elementals burning a smaller flame and possessing significantly less power than them. The Fiera once started as a village of humans set eternally ablaze as punishment for their crimes against divinity. Fiera are now comprised of those flames and the ashes of their past lives, only resembling the bodies of the people they once were. The descendants of the first Fiera are made and reconstructed from the eternal flame that all of the first Fiera were made from. Once a Fiera becomes a dormant fire their ashes are returned to the eternal flame and reborn anew.

Self-Reliant

Fiera usually raise themselves or get little to no guidance from other Fiera typically using their past incarnations experiences to explore the world in search of a grander purpose than being stuck in a loop of forgotten lives and to find a way to possibly break their curse.

Names

The Fiera try to rename themselves something distinctively different but still human so as to not be as easily confused for the person they once were.

Body

The Fiera bodies look the same every time they reincarnate having smooth scorched skin made of ash with a thin layer of fire encapsulating their body and a head completely engulfed in flame. The flames on their body are unable to be extinguished by anything less than a wish spell as it is a curse put on them by a wrathful god who wants them to feel pain for every moment of their life from his fire. The flames that the  Fiera emit seem to only warm up the people and objects around them only being able to hurt themselves with it. The only time when the flames of the Fiera extinguish is when they're fully unconscious and don't feel pain.

Age

Fiera are practically immortal. They don't need to eat, or drink. They simply exist and return to the great flame to reincarnate when their time is over, retaining some pieces of their last lives remembering in better detail based on the amount of impact the moment had on them in each life grasping more memories the older they get. Though they do age like a normal human they do so with the ashes of their past incarnation taking shape in the form they were born with when they weren't cursed and slowly attaining more and more of their ashes from the past as they grow older. The ashes correlate with their memory which is why it's able to take the shape of what they used to look like and why when they grow older they know more of their past. The time Fiera has per incarnation is around the same as a human with the ashes slowly crumbling away and separating from their bodies as a sign that their time is up.
