Ignir (イグニール IGUNĪRU) is a dragon known as the Fire Dragon and Fire Dragon King. He is the father of Ignia and the adoptive father of Natsu Dragnir.
APPARENCE
Ignir is a huge dragon with most of his body covered in dark-red scales. His belly, long tail and legs are beige. Scars are also visible on his belly and neck, the largest of which, in the shape of an X, is located in the center of his body. His back is adorned with numerous black spikes that run down to the tip of his tail.
Ignir’s head is triangular, with horns and a pair of large, round eyes with yellow sclerae. He has a pointed horn that rises above his nose. His canines are very sharp, and his claws are long, sharp and red. Ignir’s large wings are bat-like, with wavy tips. He also has four legs.
PERSONALITY
Ignir appeared as a loving father figure to Natsu before leaving prematurely. Although he has left Natsu, Ignir remains extremely protective of him and watches over him from afar. Despite his affectionate side, Ignir can also be impetuous, angry and violent when the situation calls for it. He displays a certain arrogance and describes himself as “the one and only Ignir” when meeting Grandiné. Before meeting Natsu, Ignir had no affection for humans, but his meeting with the young boy and their relationship changed that. According to Metalicana, Ignir was the dragon who loved humans the most. Ignir tends to take things lightly, as does Natsu.
HISTORY
400 years ago, Ignir met Zeleph while he was gathering herbs for his research, and they became friends. Ignir then fell victim to the magic of the Dragon Hunter of Acnologia, who stole his soul, leaving him weakened and half-dead. To help his friend Zeleph, Ignir decided to teach his lost Dragon Hunter magic to Zeleph’s younger brother Natsu Dragnir. Ignir trained Natsu and, when the time came, sealed his soul in Natsu’s body with the Dragon Soul Technique, along with four other dragons. This was to prevent Natsu from turning into a dragon like Acnologia by creating antibodies to block the draconization process, and to allow Ignir to heal and return to defeat Acnologia once and for all, as the other dragons planned to do.
However, ethernano concentrations were extremely low at the time, so Ignir devised a plan with Zeleph and mage Anna Heartfilia to use the Eclipse Portal and send the souls of the dragon hunters with their adoptive parents around July 7, year X777, when ethernano concentrations were very high. This gave the child dragon hunters the illusion that their adoptive parents had abandoned them on that date, unaware that they had been inside them all along, with the exception of Sting and Rogue, whose memories were altered to make them believe that they had killed them, despite Ignir’s initial objections.
Before the events of four hundred years ago, Ignir had a son named Ignia, who would later become one of the five dragon-gods living on the northern continent of Guiltina.
MAGIC AND SKILLS
Magic of the Fire Dragon Hunter (炎の滅竜魔法 Honō no Metsuryū Mahō): Ignir uses his magic in the same way as Natsu, in close combat. He projects powerful bursts of fire to hinder or damage his opponents, relying heavily on hand-to-hand combat and reinforcing his attacks with fire.
Fire dragon howl (火竜の咆哮 Karyū no Hōkō) : Like other dragons and dragon hunters, Ignir is able to use his element in the form of a powerful blast of fire that can destroy the surrounding area in a massive explosion.
Steel Fist of the Fire Dragon (火竜の鉄拳 Karyū no Tekken): Ignir strikes the enemy with a fist enveloped in flames, an attack powerful enough to deal with the dragon king Acnologia.
Fire Dragon Claw (火竜の鉤爪 Karyū no Kagizume): Ignir ignites his feet, increasing the power of his kicks.
Telepathy (念話テレパシー Terepashī) : Ignir is able to use this form of magic to communicate with Natsu telepathically.
Dragon Soul (魂竜の術 Konryū no Jutsu) : Ignir uses this ability to conceal his soul and magical power inside the body of his adopted son Natsu, thus preserving his life force and providing him with antibodies to prevent the draconization process. This ability also enabled him to travel 400 years into the present by absorbing ethernano.
Flight: As a dragon, Ignir possesses the ability to fly thanks to his wings.
Enormous strength: Ignir possesses sufficient physical strength to rival and eventually overpower the dragon king Acnologia. However, his strength quickly ran out as he emerged from Natsu half-dead, a fraction of what he once was. According to Metalicana, Ignir had very little strength when he was alive. When he realized his apparent weakness, Ignir alluded to the absence of his soul, claiming that sleeping so long had its consequences.
Endurance: Ignir showed that he could emerge from a fight against another dragon, the so-called Dragon King, with only minor cuts and bruises. However, his stamina declined rapidly due to his half-dead state, eventually leading to his brutal defeat. 🔥THE PRODUCTS OF THE MOMENT🔥
