====================

***Name: Scorching Earth Ira / Ira (in short)

***Description: Ira is a humanoid Chimera. Overall, his appearance looks like a tall and muscular young man, despite his long-living age. He's got two pairs of horns protruding from the sides of his head, similar to the horns of a bull/goat, with a pair of chimes he is wearing on one of his horns. On his left shoulder, there is a giant lion head-like armor. His left hand has lion claws that he uses to scratch and slash his enemies. Along with his concealed right eye, his right arm is made from Nasod components. Similar to his left arm, he got claws but bigger in size on his right one, as well as a giant crystallized blade, unlike the organic blade on his left elbow. His lower part and his back are covered in fur. Both of his feet are goat's hoofs. At the end of his tail is a living snake's head. The body of the snake is not organic one but is made from a mysterious material similar to sparkling shadow which glows and sparkles. Several places in Ira's body, including his arm and legs, are bound by heavy chains and shackles, as the result of his seal a long time ago. He also wields a dagger/short blade on his waist.

***Backstory: Ira belongs to an extincted ancient species. Being born with inhuman strength and endurance, along with the fact about his species's rareness and specialty, he and the other chimeras become the targets for human's hunting and experiments because of various valuable parts in their bodies and labor value. A long time ago, when he was still a child, Ira was unfortunately captured by the scientists. Being locked in a laboratory, he was put through many painful experiments to test his strength and tolerance, including an operation to replace his eye (which is a rare item people are hunting to sell with high price) and his right arm into Nasod ones to boost his strength for the purpose of military combat sacrifice. Amongst many cruel humans, there was only one girl--who took responsibility of tending his wounds and feeding him--good to Ira as she usually talked to him and sympathized with his sufferings. When the scientists decided to push the experiments to another level that was beyond Ira's ability, the girl tried to protect him and was killed. Enraged, Ira destroyed the lab and escaped. Since then, he harbored a deep hatred on humans--who had killed the girl he loved--and swore to take revenge. The battle with him lasted in many decades and finally humans decided to use their powerful mages to sealed him under many layers of earth in Lanox. Many years passed and the ritual to revive the ancient demon of Scar happened in Lanox has weakened Ira's seal, awakening him. Now he will try to destroy his restraints and come back to Elrios to carry out his revenge.

***Area: Secret location of Lanox.

***Attack:
- Requiem: Ira releases a powerful roar that causes confusion and helplessness effect. Affecting wide range.
- Thousand Slashes: Spin rapidly to attack with both enhanced blades on his arms and the dagger, all are imbued with aura of fire.
- Destined Shooter: Charge and shoot powerful laser to his enemies using the snake-head tail.
- Sacrifice: summon seven orbs that causes explosion and deal heavy damage. When they explodes, plague field is made that constantly drops opponent's HP and MP.
- Exchange: Ira extends and bites his opponents with the snake head, robbing their HP while inflicting poison. 
- Sweet Death: perform a leaping snatch and slash continuously with his claws. Causing leg wound. There's a certain chance petrifying his opponents.  
- Earth's Rage: apply heavy pressure which shatters the ground, creating pillars of lava.
- Wind Slasher: a swift kick creating shockwave sending his opponents flying.
- Life-Death Equation: When his vitality is threatened, Ira will release an electrical and heating aura around his body that increases his defense and speed. He can performs all his moves faster and deal more damage while slowing down his enemy with gravity. Small fire balls will be shot randomly and Seed of Despair will be thrown which will bind his enemies completely from any movement.
