| Name:
Lucius Ignis Beacon
Prefers to be called Luke.
Representative of:
Life.
Gender:
Male.
Age:
Human: 21
Historical: Life has been around for billions of years. But he appeared during creation.
Brief personality:
Luke is a easy going man who doesn't like to interfere much with anything. If there is a fight going down, he's the kind of guy to watch and bet on the winner. That doesn't stop him from being a good friend, though. He's known to hang out with wild people because of his chillax manner, and he's usually the designated driver. Though he's not really into drugs, he's willing to try everything once. He's more of a beer guy, and doesn't really get drunk unless he's out with friends. He can still find a way to have fun without drinking though, and claims he's 'high on life' and doesn't need to drink or do drugs to have fun. He's not really one to have strong opinions since he tends to go with the flow, but he can still make a quick decision. He's friendly to everyone, and the only time he ever raises his voice is when he's in physical pain. He's not really the scornful or condescending type, but he still loves to joke around and tease people. He never gets mad and holds no grudges.
Brief physical description:
Luke has fluffy grey hair with bright orange eyes. He's decently tall at a height of 6'2, having a a strong but lithe body frame. He often wears a jacket, except in hot weather. The colours vary, but he usually wears monotone colours, with perhaps red or orange or yellow. He can be found wearing a necklace with a ring on it often, very rarely not wearing it. He never wears shorts, only long pants, usually accompanied with boots of various heights.
In his phoenix form, he's a large grey bird with orange flames shooting out of his body and orange eyes. He stands at about 15 ft tall in this form.

Brief history:
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (they have died), or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential synthetic life as "living". Biology is the science concerned with the study of life.
There is currently no consensus regarding the definition of life. One popular definition is that organisms are open systems that maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergo metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. However, several other definitions have been proposed, and there are some borderline cases of life, such as viruses or viroids.
Abiogenesis is the natural process of life arising from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. The prevailing scientific hypothesis is that the transition from non-living to living entities was not a single event, but a gradual process of increasing complexity. Life on Earth first appeared as early as 4.28 billion years ago, soon after ocean formation 4.41 billion years ago, and not long after the formation of the Earth 4.54 billion years ago. The earliest known life forms are microfossils of bacteria. Researchers generally think that current life on Earth descends from an RNA world, although RNA-based life may not have been the first life to have existed. The classic 1952 Miller–Urey experiment and similar research demonstrated that most amino acids, the chemical constituents of the proteins used in all living organisms, can be synthesized from inorganic compounds under conditions intended to replicate those of the early Earth. Complex organic molecules occur in the Solar System and in interstellar space, and these molecules may have provided starting material for the development of life on Earth.
Since its primordial beginnings, life on Earth has changed its environment on a geologic time scale, but it has also adapted to survive in most ecosystems and conditions. Some microorganisms, called extremophiles, thrive in physically or geochemically extreme environments that are detrimental to most other life on Earth. The cell is considered the structural and functional unit of life. There are two kinds of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic, both of which consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane and contain many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Cells reproduce through a process of cell division, in which the parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.
In the past, there have been many attempts to define what is meant by "life" through obsolete concepts such as odic force, hylomorphism, spontaneous generation and vitalism, that have now been disproved by biological discoveries. Aristotle was the first person to classify organisms. Later, Carl Linnaeus introduced his system of binomial nomenclature for the classification of species. Eventually new groups and categories of life were discovered, such as cells and microorganisms, forcing dramatic revisions of the structure of relationships between living organisms. Though currently only known on Earth, life need not be restricted to it, and many scientists speculate in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Artificial life is a computer simulation or man-made reconstruction of any aspect of life, which is often used to examine systems related to natural life.
Death is the permanent termination of all biological functions which sustain an organism, and as such, is the end of its life. Extinction is the term describing the dying out of a group or taxon, usually a species. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms.
Religious affiliation:
N/A.
Any special powers or abilities:
Immune to death. Since he is a Phoenix, instead of dying, he burns alive every thousand years and is born anew, all his scars and imperfections gone.
He is able to use flame magic.
