Blazelighter (Class)

Bringing the heat to any battle, the Blazelighter is a fiery female who isn't afraid to turn any enemy into a smoldering pile of ash. One downside is to the Blazelighter is that her own powers can come back to bite her. Despite the impressive healing factors of many of the soldiers, Blazelighters all have scars across their bodies after being burned and healed so many times. A Blazelighter's belly has 4 vents that she can use to dump excess heat quickly.

Her main weapon is the Solaris Laser Rifle. This gun fires a continuous concentrated beam of intense energy that superheats anything it hits. While the thick armor of vehicles can withstand most of the heat, unwary enemy soldiers don't take long to become. The power of the weapon's effectiveness decreases sharply the further it shoots, so it's not a sniper rifle and more of a mid range weapon. It's alt fire produces a powerful close range wave of fire, allowing it to double as a flaming shotgun. The Blazelighter can focus her energy into the weapon itself, supercharging the effect and doubling the damage at the risk of causing her weapon to malfunction for a short time. The blast is so powerful that it actually sends the Blazelighter flying back few meters if she doesn't dig in her heels beforehand.

When things get really heated, her Hellfire Shotgun Pistol can deliver a quick blast of flaming pellets at close range. The Shogun Pistol can also be amped up just like the Solaris Rifle, but has a smaller chance of overheating. Her ordinance is the Corona Grenade. Similar to the Ravager, she can charge this device using her heat energy. Once thrown the grenade will land and produce a powerful pressure wave that can push enemies apart, leaving a small pillar of flame in the center. This grenade actually fizzles out quickly, rarely producing runaway fires (not that there's much to burn in the wastelands anyway). It's best used to dislodge enemy soldiers who think they are safe behind sandbags or low walls.

Personality wise, the Blazelighter can get rather aggressive at times. However she cares about her sisters deeply like a doting mother. This is especially true with the extremely short classes like the Coordinator and the Scout. Ironically, the Blazelighter is very adamant about fire safety despite her use of the stuff. During the colder months, many of the other squad members will huddle around their Blazelighters, which can make the tsundere very annoyed. Deep down she does love the attention, giving a gentle smile after her sisters fall asleep and are no longer shivering in the harsh night winds.
