''The legend of the Firebrand Is one of transformation If you dare to take the journey And you give the King his due''

''Let the flame inspire, For you are your own creation Throw your fear upon the pyre And let it rise as something new''

''So you think you don't burn bright enough? You know that isn't true''

''Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down''

''Breath in the smoldering wind Feel the heat upon your skin As you hunger, so begin and burn it down''

---

''One night you were dreaming But you cannot quite remember Cast in dark and misty-seeming now Like patterns in the sand''

''Wake to comets streaming Kindled from a lonely ember In the molten forge so gleaming You harnessed terror by your hand''

''In hellfire you did smolder But yet rise you as a man''

''Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down''

''Listen to the self-made lore Let the darkness hear your roar For you find your peace in war Burn it down''

Voices whisper, "Never Fear the fire will turn to ash But we shall not hold you back forever nor protect you from the coals

''The world you shall endeavor With your undying passion Now bring your head and hands together Pray! Your foes shall pay the toll''

''Though human flesh may burn and die Lo! Not the human soul!''

''Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down''

So a new idea of one of the presumably many variants of sub-races of Mankind Unleashed. The Firebrand, perhaps a sub-race on the more 'radical' end of the transformation spectrum, their original purpose was and is an area-denial weapon of a human people to contain the 'ferocious' mamono in the volcanic region. As implied, these Humans have voluntarily conducted a Decensus ad Inferos to the Underworld, to rise again reborn as a Firebrand. An unbreakable spirit and vicious ruthlessness ingrained into their souls, they remain enclosed around barbarism and bow to nothing, especially not each other, and remain unflinching in the face of fear.

Thats right, they're 'Hellhound' Humans.

The Bulwark to headbutt the fercious Mamono from here to eternity, they can act as a 'diplomatic servie' as much as a prison guard for the Brotherhood to be able to 'peacefully' communicate with more hostile Mamono.

I'll get a full 'profile' up later, maybe, eventually.
