[u]Have you heard of that person than can [i]eat fire?[/i] Seen the videos, pictures? They’re not a hoax.[/u] [b]His name is Vance.[/b] [i]After several encounters throughout the world, he made an internet alias for himself as the “Eater of Flames” – also known as the “Smokeater,” the “Flammenesser,” or even as a new kind of natural disaster – the “Infierno Colorido.” When you aimlessly roam the world, making as much of a ruckus as possible by lighting things up and[/i] eating fire[i] –people are bound to notice, and it is as people say. Nothing escapes the lenses of technology.[/i] [b]But what about he himself? He must be more than just name.[/b] [i]Indeed he is. Though descriptions of him vary – every time he’s caught on camera, he’s on fire, after all – the majority of witnesses have agreed that the Flammenesser has the body of an average male. He stands at 5’11”, and has a clearly mesomorphic build. He’s a head of wild, shaggy black hair that dances around as he maneuvers, akin to his flames. His skin tone is surprisingly fair – one might expect it to be burnt and tanned heavily from the huge amount of fire that constantly follows him, but no. It’s unnatural, how unblemished his skin is. Aside from his left arm; that is something that isn’t flesh nor bone. It is a black, cybernetic limb, that multiple people have recounted that it can blast twenty feet of napalm forward. But the one thing witnesses can’t seem to agree on is the color of his flames, and his eyes. What they do know is this: the eyes match the color of his flames. That’s where the agreements end; according to witnesses, he can apparently utilize red, orange, yellow, green, blue, AND violet flames. They say that the red flames, the color of rubies, can heal wounds, repair bones, and cleanse disease. They say that the orange flames, the color of amber, can quench thirst and hunger, rejuvenating an individual’s vitality. They say that the yellow flames, the color of gold, can never be put out, and have no purpose but to provide comfortable warmth and eternal light; never to harm. They say that the green flames, the color of emerald, can wreak absolute havoc on constructions, but do not harm flesh in the slightest. They say that the blue flames, the color of sapphire, can devastate the flesh of a person or animal, but leave no trace behind on abiotic beings. And finally, they say that the violet flames, the color of amethyst, can protect the average person, shielding them from projectiles and weapons.[/i] [b]That sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I feel like I’ve met somebody before, that matches that physical description; minus the flames, of course.[/b] [i]It’s possible that you[/i] have [i]met him. He travels under many different aliases; he has a different name for almost every person he meets. Dean, Jackson, Elias, Ian – but I know for a fact, even if he doesn’t, that his name is Vance.[/i] [b]How’s that?[/b] [i]I knew Vance before he became an internet myth. But there’s no chance that he’d recognize me; after all, he lost his memory about a year ago, which might be part of the reason why he can’t decide on a name.[/i] [b]Interesting tale, but now the question is: how do we know that this isn’t all made up?[/b] [i]That’s up for you to decide.[/i]
