Fire Affinity (Ex):Ifrit sorcerers with the elemental (fire) bloodline treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Ifrit spellcasters with the Fire domain use their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level.
Awesome Display (Su): Your phantasmagoric displays accurately model the mysteries of the night sky, dumbfounding all who behold them.

Bakground:
Muqaq Al-Varisi was born in the Katapeshi village of Kelmarane, but remembers very little of the place. Only the sweltering days, and the laughter of his mother. Her warm embrace, and her love. Then there is only fire and terror. His father grabbing his hand and dragging him from the village. Followed by an endless journey, first to one place then the next. Without his mother's magic to support them his father turned to crime. They rode on a big boat across the inner sea. Northward, ever northward away from their past. Away from his father's latest crimes. His father would never talk to Muqaq about his mother. When Muqaq asked he would just shake his head and say, "Your mother was a good woman. Good like you are."
By the time Muqaq was an adolescent he and his father were living in Varisia, traveling with a troupe of Sczarni. Muqaq got in an argument with his father, after he caught Muqaq stealing. His father told him that he never intended a life of crime for his son, and Muqaq called him a hypocrite. Muqaq became angry, and using his magic for the first time, accidentally burnt down the wagon the troupe was letting them use. The leader of the gang was furious and demanded that Muqaq work off his debt. The gangsters set him to burning down residences and businesses of those who crossed them. After someone was 'taken care of' he had to burn the bodies and bury the ashes.
His father became an alcoholic, sick with guilt over the life he'd forced on his son. This went on for several years, Muqaq grew into full control of his abilities. Eventually his father's drinking got the best of him, and as he lay dying he begged Muqaq for forgiveness. "Please, you must forgive me. I should never have taken you away from your mother. She followed the Dawnflower, she would have wanted me to teach you the same. But I failed you, I was too weak. I beg you now in the name of the goddess that your mother so loved, the angel of redemption, please forgive me. You must return to Kelmarane, find out what happened to your mother." Wheezing painfully, he turned over and pulled something from beneath his bed. "Here, take this. It was hers." he said, handing Muqaq a beautiful holy symbol of Sarenrae made from gold, inset with yellow pearls and amber. "If you learn only one thing from me as your father, let it be that which you hold in your hand. Follow the sun, she will forgive you as she has me."
At that moment Muqaq was struck with a religious experience, it was as if the bright rays of the sun burned away all the pain and hatred that had so burdened his heart. "I forgive you father." was the last thing he ever said to the old man who had dragged him across half of Golarion on a life of pain. His father slipped away, and shortly thereafter so did Muqaq, abandoning the Sczarni. He traveled south, seeking to fulfill his father's final wish, and wanting to learn all he could of his mother and this place called Kelmarane. He was determined to use the skills he had learned from the Sczarni in the services of the Dawnflower, bringing redemption to those who needed it, and fiery death to those who refused it.
Personality:
Muqaq's blood runs with fire, and his temperament matches that. Passionate about all he does, he is fierce and uncompromising. He is used to being obeyed, but knows how to keep a low profile. He has a dark past, but is trying to put it behind him. He seeks to be the best person he can be, treating others as he would like to be treated. However in the face of unrepentant evil, he is a cleansing fire, bringing righteous fury down upon the wicked.
