Flame Soul Sorcerer
Fire is raw energy, destructive and unbound. You share a connection with this primal force. For whatever reason, your soul is inexorably connected to the elemental force of fire. Was this connection forced upon you, or were you born with it? Do you resent your power or embrace it? Regardless, you may want to consider consulting the flame soul quirks table to determine how your connection with fire effects you. You might choose from the list or determine it randomly.
