Essentially raised in an extremely harsh wasteland, his features were shapeshifted into that of a wild beast's almost. Although maintaining a good-looking, healthy young man's appearance, this did not dissuade from the fact that Ibara grew up in a harsh environment. His eyes are always calculating, look at the next step in every situation. His gaze is challenging as if everyone around him were looking to pick a fight. Other than the slightly feral and harsh side to Ibara's appearance, there's a kind/fun-loving side to it as well; like any child. Although his challenging demeanour makes him sound like a cocky little brat, his challenges are usually always good natured to the people in his guild or to the friends he's made on his journey. His extremely high and spiky hair is an addition to this slightly comedic appearance as you wouldn't find something like that out of the ordinary, as is it's red/orange hue; the colour having adopted itself after Ibara's training with Igneel. Finally there's his yellow eyes, exactly the same as his dragonly mentor, unexplained and not acknowledged, people generally leave the subject of his eyes alone.

General Information:

Personality:

Ibara is a hot-headed, lean and mean fighting machine to put it into a few words. His personality usually gets him into sticky situations with just about everyone he encounters. Like a ticking time bomb set to blow, in conjunction with his firey attitude and confidence in hand-to-hand combat, Ibara won't hesitate to literally assault his opponent at a moment's notice should they have done even a simple thing to piss him off. Some would say this behaviour originated from his parents. For when he was a young child, his parents were as edgy as he was now, they usually didn't tolerate any out-of-line behaviour which was hard for a misunderstood child so Ibara sat on the receiving end of most misconceived punishments quite frequently in day-to-day life.

That still leaves in question as to why Ibara would leave his parents in the first place (although it seemed pretty clear that he would at the age of seven, having finally been old enough to understand and tolerate what was happening to him). His personality was developing at an astounding rate despite no teaching aid from his parents. He lived in a small unknown village on the very outskirts of Fiore. Unlike the rest of the continent, nothing grew, heat scorched the lands and plants were barren. This gave him a survivalist instinct, to be able to cope with extreme situations and temperatures, analysing a situation and dealing with it instantaneously without second thought. Living in an area such as this one, on his own, led him to becoming more of a lone-wolf than a team player per say. His decisions were usually based on him and him alone and that was it, there was no other cog in the machine, that was all that seemed to factor into the equation at the time.

Still unanswered, that leaves the big question as to why he left this barren land in search for a new home; a guild specifically. One day, an overwhelmingly scorching heat ravaged the land, ridding it of it's primary resources such as food and water. Young bodies like that of Ibara's (only being seven years old) could withstand and tolerate much more than the older generation could. With that, his parents died under the severe conditions in which they were placed in. On that day, Ibara couldn't help but notice a singular black silhouette hovering in the sky above. With the sun shadowed by the clouds, it was clear that there was only one source that this heat was coming from. Despite the death of his parents, he bared no grudge against the monstrously large silhouette, and instead reached out to it. This bizarre event to this day haunted him, although the actions he put in place where inspirational and is a sign of the bravery that he shows today.

In short, Ibara can be described as a survivalist, a lone wolf (despite his recent membership into a guild), tolerant, hot-headed, over confident, brash, arrogant, calculating, mindful. All these things can be wrapped into one when considering him as a person. But most of all, his most valued trait is his respect for others. Having been in an extremely horrible situation himself, he knows when respect, kindness, honour and every other form of personal gratitude should be given out despite his personality suggesting otherwise; a small example of his warrior-like humility.
