Egan Firewalker is a character who appears in Greyshift Coronation.
Appearance[]
Wizard[]
Orange eyes and light brown haired. He has a medium skin tone and is near identical to Aiden... if it wasn't for his twin's scar.
Salamander[]
An orange salamander with yellow leopard patterning. He has a tuft of fur on his head and his patterning lessens to the left.
Personality[]
Like his sister Agni, he has trouble in social situations, but notably observant. He has a lot of quirks and antics which involve hand flapping when happy, bouncing on the balls of his feet when excited/impatient, and rocking when stressed. He speaks with a bit of a stutter due to not speaking often, has a strong dislike towards loud noises, and meeting people in the eye.
He has a tendency to tell Aiden whatever he wants to say, which is relayed by his twin to whoever he wants to speak to. He speaks very softly and it's often hard for strangers to strike a conversation with him. However, if you bring up dragons, he'll go on and on for hours at end.
Egan is a very routine person, and dislikes when someone interrupts his routines and processes without his consent... or without something dragon-related to bribe him with. Incredibly abrupt events can overwhelm him to the point he has a meltdown, which Aiden tries to help him avoid since the rest of their family always makes things worse.
He strongly dislikes it when someone else treats him like a baby or helpless, reacting quite... unexpectedly. He seems timid on the exterior but has no problem threatening others, being mentioned to want to kill Uri at some point (thankfully not carrying out the threat). Despite being sensitive to loud noises, he can and will yell at you if that's what it takes, though he doesn't necessarily enjoy it.
Weapons/Gear[]
Crimson Coat: It's made of a different material then usual... most likely for fire proofing reasons.
Stuffed Dragon: He does not care that you think the fact he carries around a stuffed toy is ridiculous. Or is that because he was distracted by your Embershed...
Embers
Abilities[]

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
Earth Magic
Ice Magic
Weaknesses[]
Water Magic
Phoenix: Regardless of having good intentions, she's fiercely protective of the twins to the points of suppression. On top of this, she treats him incredibly differently then Aiden, making him feel rather uncomfortable.
Sensory Overload: He's incredibly sensitive towards sounds, smells, colors, etc and it's possible for those seemingly small things to overwhelm him to the point of meltdown. Intense stress or abrupt events can also cause this.
Trivia[]
- Egan actually has high-functioning autism. However, he's mistaken by his family (other than Aiden) to have low-functioning due to how he avoids speaking to them, and is treated according to their stereotypes.
- If him and Aiden were to stand side by side as salamanders - Aiden being to the left while Egan's to the right - their patterning lines up near perfectly.
- He is older than Aiden by a few minutes, but it doesn't matter much to him.
