#khr flames

[khr-gilded-cage]

Everybody else tired of Sky!Skull?

Its sounds like a attempt of making him more 'special'

I know fans wants the Arco to have a good Sky after Luce's betrayal

But can we just let Skull begin a Cloud for once? Not a Cloudy Sky, just a Cloud?

Its like the other flames arent as special as Sky

Which is silly

[dreaming-hibi]

Do flame types work like genetic traits? If so, can I put it through a punnett square?

[villainsandvictimsalliance]

To this day I think that khr did gave us one of the easiest yet most entertaining sorting systems in animanga. I can spend hours and hours and hours sorting characters on the sky element/attributes system. Easy logic, concise explanation, made for found families and friend groups, all the fun and none of the nuance.

For the ones who doesn't know, it goes like this:

SOME STORY CONTEXT (not really important):

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is a manga about an Italian mafia family that is in need of a successor, but everyone has been killed except Tsunayoshi Sawada, a japanese kid that is The Loser™. The Vongola, said mafia family, send a hitman that happens to be in a baby form to train him and protect him: Reborn. He trains Tsuna by shooting him on the head with a Vongola special bullet, the Dying Will Bullet; if the person shot has regrets, they will reawaken (only the underwear survives at first) with a flame on their head, the Dying Will Flame. As long as the flame last, the person is on Dying Will Mode and their abilities are enhanced, almost like a super or something, by turning all the internal safety switches off.

THE BASIC TERMS FOR YOU TO KNOW:

What we care about is the Dying Will Flame. It is a form of high-density energy refined from one's own life force. The Dying Will Flame has similar properties to a real flame and it has levels of purity (the greater the resolve of a person, the clearer and most powerful a flame will be), attributes (different flame elements; you can be born with multiple attributes, but it can't be learn without a previous affinity), and types (in the manga there are the Seven Flames of Sky and the Seven Flames of Earth; we'll be talking about the Seven Flames of Sky only, as to not give major spoilers).

In the KHR! World, the users can channel their Dying Will Flames through tradional weapons to attack or they can use them to open up certain special devices with different purposes (including functions as containing more weapons or food or daily life objects). However, the most notorious use is for the mafia bosses and their guardians, their inner circle of subordinates. Using seven rings specially made to channel the Dying Will Flame, they can fight or use them on their pure form to attack, defend and even heal others.

NOW, THE REAL FUN. THE SORTING.

As the name says it, the Sky Flames are divided in seven attributes (also called elements). Those are named after phenomenons that happen on the sky: Storm, Rain, Mist, Lightning, Sun, Cloud and Sky itself.

Traditionally, the Sky was viewed as a leader attribute and their users' mission was mainly to understand, accept and influence their subordinates. Something like the sky, that encompasses all the other phenomenons and allows them to be as their are. However, for the sake of having fun, you could give the "leader" of your group another attribute and play with the role of the sky flame!

THE SEVEN FLAMES OF SKY !

SKY FLAME: as said before, it's the common attribute for the leaders. That's because A) the Sky Flame can achieve the greatest level of purity and B) it can open any special device. It symbolizes the extensive and all encompassing influence of the Sky over the other elements. It's personal attribute is HARMONY and it's role is to balance things out. The Sky Flame color is orange.

STORM FLAME: an attribute common for the relentless, the Storm Flame user should be the unstoppable base of attacks of the family / group. It symbolizes the storm that fiercely spins with no end and for that its attribute is not other than DISINTEGRATION. The Storm Flame can only open special devices made for itself and its color is red.

RAIN FLAME: the role of the Rain Flame user is to prepare the family / group for the fight, cleaning the blood spilled and bringing the calmness factor. It can also only open the special devices made for the same element, but as it is to be expected, its attribute is TRANQUILITY. The Rain Flame is blue and it symbolizes the flood that cleans it all.

CLOUD FLAME: the untouchable users of the Cloud Flame are known for acting as a distant floating cloud that cannot be contained and follows its own path. Its another element that can only open special devices made for itself, but the Cloud Flame color has more a purple tone and its attribute is PROPAGATION. Their role is to protect the family from the outside and never get caught.

MIST FLAME: with a lilac tone, the Mist Flame belongs to those who pretend something exist or not to confuse the enemies and protect the real form of the family / group. As all the other elements, this Dying Will Flame can only open special devices that match its signature type. Its attribute is CONSTRUCTION and, as you cna imagine, it symbolizes the untouchable fraudulent illusion.

LIGHTNING FLAME: more than anything, the Lightning Flames is known for striking with remarkable force. Its attribute is HARDENING and, its color is green and as all the rest except for the Sky Flame, it cannot open special devices that doesn't match its attribute. The role of these users is to absorb the damage to the family / groups like a lightning rod.

SUN FLAME: At last, the Sun Flame has a yellow color and its attribute is known as ACTIVATION. Those users of the Sun Flame must destroy whatever is unfortunate for their families / groups with their own bodies and shine like the sun over all the rest. It is the sixth flame that cannot open any special device not mafe for itself and it symbolizes the sun that brightens up the sky.

TO SORT YOUR CHARACTERS all you have to do is think about what description they match better. You can follow the khr canon and sort characters by groups of seven first, one for each attribute, and if you have more then you can sort them as special characters. Or you can match it the way you better like it, disregarding order and putting (for example) three rain flame users in one family with not sun flame user in sight.

Feel free to link this plot in your owns or reblog it to explain to your users how the Dying Will Flame thing works! And don't forget: this sorting it's for you to enjoy.

Can skies hide behind other flame times they have for protection? (I'm not staring at Skull, I promise)

We actually USE that concept in Gods Do Not Love! 

Sky is ALL the Flames, it’s entirely possible, if they use one part of their sky- that is another Flame type- long enough it gets STRONG enough, they can hide their Flame behind that other flame!

I got a new drawing notebook and colored pencils for christmas, so of course I had to test out the colors by drawing the flames.

how I think Flames work instinctively

i’m sure people have an idea already how I think of flames from my previous posts, in how I believe Nature vs. Nurture has it’s effects, especially in how it affects how they fall on the Flame Scale of Polarized/Classic. How Flame Personality Types are more like Horoscopes, sometimes so eerily right while other times laughably wrong. I’ve even created a whole new type of Deathperation flames while expanding on my thoughts for Flames of the Earth. how I believe everyone has flames in the world, even animals do, they just haven’t yet entered out of their dormant state they stay in. But I don’t think I’ve ever mention just how having flames has effected the people who do have them awaken.

Note, I have been very inspired by so much fanfiction for how I think about flames, from InsaneScriptist and Cywscross to Araceil and Reighost, a lot of their works inspiring my own thoughts, even if they are not the same. 

By the way, here is a mini glossary for Flame Terms I’ve made :D

Ignite: when a person’s Flames spark for the first time, going from their Sleeping state they’re been their whole life, and on the first step to being Awaken.

Sparking: it’s the state between Sleeping and Awaken, where after a Flame User’s flames have Ignited, they steadily get used to being used over a period of time.

Sleeping: the dormant state all flames are in at the beginning, the person building up their will and drive as they go through life.

Awaken: the final state a Flame User goes in, having fully woken up their flames from their dormant state, and ready to be used.

Flare: It’s when a Flame user uses their flames to check out a situation, person, and/or threat. Can be aggressive or a comforting gesture, depending on the emotions and state of the User.

Clash: When two or more Flame Users just do not get on, whether from a difference of ideas, thoughts, or actions, their flames react blisteringly to each other, pushing and burning as they run against each other. Can happen with all Flame types. 

Harmonizing: When a Sky finds an Element that not only fits them, but is just so compatible, amazing, almost perfect for them, the two form a bond of Harmony, creating at times an emotional, and even a mental link given enough time. There are in fact two ways to Harmonize:

Sudden Connections: When a Sky Flames gets a feel for an element, and likes them so much, they claim them then and there, the other flames not fighting it either because of surprise or they two like the sky’s flames.

Flame Covering: it is a long drawn process of covering your element in your flame, and the element letting you do so as they in turn cover you as well, your flames in constant contact as they get to know one another and bond properly, trust building as you do.

Gravitation: When a Earth Flame finds an element that fits them, balances them just as they help balance the other, fitting neatly on a scale only they can feel, the two form a bond of Gravity, aiding and helping the other with an emotional stable point, as well as able to eventually give physical boosts as well. They can have Sudden Connections to, but can also form from something else;

Communication Building: Because their flames are more physical, as time goes on and the Earth Flame continues to talk/debate/communicate, Flaring their flames at the same time, and the element does so in turn, and keeps coming back willingly, a gravitation can slowly form over time as they do so, both participants knowing and completely happy to do so.

Bonding: all flame users can do this, can bond with any other out their, through friendship, rivalry, hardship, you name it, there flames will just cement it even further, wrapping around the other, and leaving a spark or bit of their flame there, linking them together. 

NOTE: there can be some sensitive stuff under the cut, red more if you want.

Instinctual:

Now, no matter what, and in how I will probably have it in all my stories, Flames are all about survival, first and foremost. every instinct they are in charge of, every thought a Flame Awaken person will have, will always be fueled by the instinct to survive. This of course, will have the effect on the person in that they will most likely think more on ways to continue living, how to make it through the next day, how to carry on. This is also one of the reasons the Mafia has so many Awakened Flame users, because they can constantly enter situations that cause their flames to Ignite and Wake Up.

Now, when you combine Flames and regular human instincts, it can cause some interesting situations. You know how when you look at a person, and can just feel like they’re a creep to stay away from or you just don’t like them? Your Flames can feel your uneasiness, and depending on what kind of person you are, can remain passive or aggressive if the situation warrants it. Or say that, for example, you want something that is most certainly not good for you, can in fact hurt you; your Flames will not take kindly to that at all. They will remain nonreactive, unhelpful, or even downright hinder at times to ensure their User stops doing said thing.

(Example: Say a Flame User wants to be a Guardian of a Toxic Sky or something; the person’s flames can feel just how bad this will be for them, how this can destroy them as a person, and thus refuse to be used for such a dangerous other. the flames will balk, writhe and shudder, forcibly scrunch themselves into a ball if needed to just avoid the Bad Sky... Of course, for all their attempts, it doesn’t mean a particularly stubborn Flame User and Sky can’t work past this, much to the Flames chagrin)  

Now, some people have different instincts and thought processes, not to mention illnesses that can both effect the mind and body that throw the whole person’s Flames out of wack and control. (Ex. Flame Countermand, Draining Will, Depression, Overflow, Sky’s Folly). This can directly effect the flames a person has, mental illness affecting Flames of the Sky worse while physical illnesses effect Earth Flames worse (because each flames have their strengths and foundations, but what happens when those foundations are so weak?) So a Flame user wanting to die, even as their flames scream against it can happen, maybe able to hold out for a while more. But if the cause is not checked out, those weaken survival instincts can be drowned out.

Of course, personalities also are a very big influence, as well as a person’s way of life. A Flame user who is asexual, for example, will not suddenly just want to have sex all of a sudden if someone’s flames flare invitingly at them, a seduction technique and such. Sure, maybe they can get hit with an aphrodisiac, but their flames of survival, of instinct and know something is wrong will not take that lying down, can in fact react violently to it. Flames are much in the control of their user, and are only the other way around when a person has way too much flame to control (this is why Flame Limiters, Seals, and Gauges are made, to help they poor sods). And those that are that powerful are very damn rare, not even most of the Vongola Family have any, with Giotto and Ricardo the last ones reported as having such power. Otherwise, consent is consent, and one must remember it, otherwise someone’s flames will not be happy. And trying to use one’s flames to influence someone is not easy, the person’s own will Clashing with the others, even if they are friends.

(After all, men and woman both have said their urges were instinctual, why can’t they indulge, they were asking for it... Rape is still rape, end of discussion :T) 

But on this, social bonds as well have an effect too; people are social creatures, we create Hierarchy and food chains, as well as our own groups. We gather around people with like interests, who will hopefully build us up, and Flame Users are similar. A person can still be Sleeping, but if a Flame Active likes them, appreciates them, of course they are going to hang out with that person, flames or no flames. (the misconception of Flames users only hanging out with other Flame users stems from the fact that, well, Flame users tend to accidentally Ignite their friends with all the Flaring checks they do on them.) In such groups, Harmonizing and Bonding can form. But like any group, abusive actions can take place, and like in reality, just as hard to leave; but it is not impossible. Guardians can break their Bonds, just like any other Flame User, but it will take time, and effort, and so much will power, just like anyone in an abusive environment. It can be done and things can get better, even if you are not the same person you were before.

Flames and your instincts can effect your life, they can change it, but like with any person, they do not rule over it.

These are just my thoughts and ideas, hope you guys like them!

I think Sky Flames aren't the 'Leaders'

They are the HEART
