Ignacio "Nacho" De La Cruz

​Personality: Flamboyant, fiercely theatrical, and deeply romantic. Ignacio views every confrontation as a performance and refuses to fight unless there is an "audience" or a dramatic point to be made. ​Flaw (The Melting Point): He is highly susceptible to extreme cold, which freezes his fluid movements and makes him brittle. Furthermore, his powers literally consume his life force; if his floating candles burn down completely to the wick, he falls into a deep, statue-like slumber until they are replaced or relit.

​✦ Waxwork Domain ​Ignacio can manipulate the state of the candles floating around him. He can harden the melting wax into razor-sharp projectiles or create sticky, molten barriers to slow down his opponents. ​✦ Flicker Step ​He can instantly teleport short distances, disappearing into a puff of black smoke and reappearing wherever one of his floating candles is currently lit. ​✦ Candelabra Curtain ​By spinning his crimson sash, he can whip up a cyclone of heat and melting wax, blinding enemies and creating a stage-like spectacle that conceals his next move.

Attribute Level Description Agility Dynamic Exceptional grace; moves like flickering shadow and flowing ribbon. Presence Mesmerizing Draws every eye in the room; theatrical and intensely charismatic. Combat Precise Uses a slender, rapier-like wand or blade made of hardened, golden wax. Resilience Malleable Difficult to physically harm; can absorb impacts by temporarily turning to liquid wax.

Ignacio is a silhouette of sharp angles and flowing fabric. He wears a stylized, hyper-flared take on traditional Mexican attire, sporting a wide-brimmed sombrero fringed with red tassels that obscure his face in deep shadow. ​The Attire: A sleek, pitch-black suit accented with vibrant gold lining. His trousers feature dramatic, bell-bottomed slits reveals bright red fabric patterned with gold geometric steps. A long, fluid crimson sash wraps around his waist and trails behind him like a ribbon of smoke. ​The Manifestation: Floating effortlessly around him are several large, melting tallow candles. The flames dance with a life of their own, casting a warm, eerie glow against the dark blue void he inhabits.
