Authors Note: Hey everyone, I'm back again with new stuff. Well, not new creatures just yet, more or less a new character to add to the Demon Hunter's ranks...Cynder's Father.

Tahu the Volcanous: Father of Cynder.
Tahu is a Volcanous (refer to Chapter 1 of this post to get more info) who works the forge for the Demon Hunters in the new age. He wasn't always this way though, in fact he was once one of the most hunted demons, notorious for causing volcanoes to erupt through history, among his conquests being the ancient city of Pompeii, and even the Mt. Saint Helens eruption.
During his onslaught, he ended up being tracked down by a Demon Hunter known as Fyre, whom took up arms against the molten monster. For many days the two fought, until Tahu managed to destroy Fyre's weapons, and right when he was about to make the final blow...he stopped, realizing that this woman's death would mean nothing, as more would come to try and capture, or worse kill, him. So taking pity, Tahu let the girl go, only for her to return with a request to join her side. Later the two had a child, whom they named Cynder, but due to the amount of head Cynder's body gave off during birth, Fyre died before she ever got to hold her child.
Something that should be known is that, while most demons are ruthless and brutal, not all are without a heart, and having lost the only woman he loved, Tahu fell into a deep sorrow, which lead to him being a slight bit abusive toward his only child. Over the years before Cynder joined the academy, Tahu got over his love's death, to the point that when he forged a sword for his daughter, the flames were fueled by the funeral pyre he made for his love, stating that "keep this blade with you, and your mother will guide you through all trials,"
Physically, Tahu stands at roughly 6 feet tall, and being made of molten rock weighs about a half a ton. His body is covered in a "cloak" of slightly cooled rock, though portions are actually made of pure iron, due to his own heat causing most metals to melt into his body, granting him control over not only lava, but also molten metals like iron, steel, nickel, and even titanium. He has strength that could rival any demon, famously having defeated a rogue Ragnerok that had become the size of a mountain.
Personality wise, he is a bit over protective of his possessions, as well as his daughter, warning most that if they even hurt Cynder, they're fuel for his forge, and though he mostly means it as a hollow threat, he also has a wall of shields, which he claims are those unlucky enough to cross him or his daughter. This point is often compounded by the fact even Cynder mentions that she once watched her father drop someone into a crucible and then pour molten steel over them.
Being a Volcanous, he has all of the abilities of a normal demon, though he is also able to make a volcano erupt just about anywhere. Along with this, he is able to control his body temperature, to the point that he is able to make his "skin" cool enough to actually touch a person without causing them to burst into flames. He has a bit of a temper, and though level headed most of the times, he has been known to unleash his wrath on more then one occasion. He is currently teaching Cynder on how to work the forge, so that if anything ever does manage to happen to him, she'll be able to take over in his place.
So, how was this guy, let me know in the box below and tell me what you think, and also if you guys out there have any ideas you think would be great for a demon, post those below as well. Hope you liked it MetalMunk, and good luck with the next chapter.
