Origin

Pre-Incident

Khristian Harris (Phoenix) was born in Millennium City and raised in Westside by his mother and father Melodee and Dr. Anthony Harris.When he was around 10-11 years-old, Khristian Harris' mother Melodee, a medic, was hit by a stray bullet, while helping the victims of a gang riot in Westside. She died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. This incident triggered his hate for gangs and injustice period.

Despite his small stature and quick tongue, Khristian grew up to become an honor roll student before his crime-fighting career began. He was also involved with several extra-curricular functions, such as football, basketball, student government, and most frequently helping his father Dr. Harris on his archaeological digs.

It was the beginning of his senior year at Westside High that Khristian decided to accompany his father on one of his digs after multiple reported sightings of a Phoenix were claimed in the mountains of South America. During their expedition the nesting place of the Pheonix's rebirth was unknowingly found by Khristian after dropping his gear in the massive pile of ashes. As Khristian went to recover his gear within the ashes the pile ignited into a holy burst of flames resulting in the Rebirth of a Pheonix but Khristian was caught in the explosion and was accidentally cremated.

Khristian's burnt ashed remained in the pile for weeks as his father Dr. Harris looked for him continuously until all hope of find his son was lost. Dr. Harris then headed back to the states in a gloomy and depressed state of mind due to the loss of his son combined with the feelings of the previous loss of his wife. A few days after Dr. Harris' return to the U.S. he received a call from the local authorities in South America stating they found Khristian's unconscious body laying in a pile of ashes and was miraculously unburned by the heated ashes.

Miraculously Khristian himself was reborn from the ashes containing all the power and abilities of the Phoenix whose nest he was reborn in. He was then returned to the states by the local authorities and decided to use his newly discovered powers for justice.

Personality

On the surface, Khristian displays an immature sort of personality. He is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed, frequently letting his pettiness and vindictiveness get the better of him ; he is somewhat selfish and remarkably self-absorbed, generally acting more out of self-interest than any sort of philanthropy as well as taking several opportunities to stroke his own ego or flaunt the athletic prowess he has gained from playing high school sports. He is largely hostile towards figures of authority (like his teachers) and feels little incentive to follow orders with which he disagrees, earning him the distinction of being a loose cannon of sorts. Khristian is also rather quick-tempered, resorting more often to blowing up the opposition than calm negotiation to settle disputes. He has a reputation for being foul-mouthed and is an incurably sarcastic cynic, only too happy to bluntly and harshly relieve others of their comfortable delusions regarding god, reality, or their own self-importance. Khristian has also displayed a propensity towards impatience and an inability to sit still for long, which perhaps contributes to his love of travel.

However, for those few people who have made an impact on him, Khris shows his deeper nature to be one of marked selflessness, unflinching loyalty and great compassion. As someone who has had to suffer greatly at such a young age, Khristian cannot ignore the true suffering of others and becomes sympathetic upon sensing pain and resolve in people's hearts. Though his solemn advice to such people is often tempered with brusque criticism, it is only because he genuinely wishes to place them on the most direct path forward. As one who has to struggle with a maimed body(before the Phoenix regeneration), he urges those with healthy bodies to use their strong legs to move forward, and as one burdened by the mistakes of his past, he stresses the necessity of people taking responsibility for their own errors. Though he will intervene on behalf of the oppressed if he concludes that a situation has called for it, Khris tends to help only those with the will - but not the means - to help themselves, in which case his recklessness and disdain for authority often has him bending the rules to dole out a Robin Hood-esque justice, earning him notoriety and popularity as a "hero of the people".
