History Main / WreathedInFlames

A character has the ability to set their ''whole'' body ablaze with flames. Different from ManOnFire, as the later trope is about mooks being incinerated. Because fire is awesome, this makes the character [[IncendiaryExponent automatically awesome]]. If they can turn it on or off, expect them to enjoy showing off via FingerSnapLighter. May be a form of BattleAura. FlamingHair is a subtrope of this, where a person can only ignite their hair.

If the character ''becomes'' fire (and is not simply covered in it), then the trope is ElementalShapeshifter.

'''Dan [=McNinja=]:''' Huh? Seriously? Because. ''They can't grab me if I'm on fire.''

** And his {{Expy}} in ''TheVentureBros''. Unlike Johnny Storm however... [[{{Power Incontinence}} He still feels the pain of burning]].

* [[TheHungerGames Katniss]] is called ''the girl who was on fire'' for a reason

** And his {{Expy}} in ''TheVentureBros''. Unlike Johnny Storm however... [[{{Required Secondary Powers}} He is not immune to his own flames]].

* Flynn's Enhahou Yokushou Mystic Arte from the PS3 version of {{Tales Of Vesperia}}, seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-BsipWZrkU here]].
* In Naruto, when Might Guy [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique opens up the 6th Chakra Gate]] he able to use the Morning Peacock technique: RapidFireFisticuffs that go ''so'' fast [[ArtMajorPhysics the punches make shockwaves whose friction set the air on fire.]]
* In the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', this was actually pretty common among characters who [[PlayingWithFire controlled fire]]. Starfire, Ablaze, Firefall, Inferna, Centigrade (who is also AnIcePerson), Incendie ("Blaze" in French), Mondfeur ("Moonfire" in German), Ulkataranara ("Comet Man" in Hindi), Playma ("Flame" in Russian), Salamander, Sunfire, Wildfire, Flame, Ifrit, Komet, Inferno, Fuoco Bianco ("White Fire" in Italian), Pumpkin Jack, Tourmaline, Pyro, and Red Devil all could wrap flames around themselves like a blanket.

* Some {{Pokemon}} are covered in flames, like Moltres or Rapidash.
* The Crimson Coat of Iphazz allows a character to do this in ''DungeonsAndDragons''.
** As do the Fire Shield spells.
** In 1st Edition the Type VI demon could immolate (create flames around itself). In 2nd Edition demons were renamed "Tanar'ri", the Type VI demon was renamed the "Balor" and its flaming protection was always on. It was based on Tolkien's Balrog (and was actually named Balrog in early editions of the game).

* The Fire Aura spell in ''{{Shadowrun}}'' does this.
* ''{{Exalted}}'' features the Fire aspected Dragon-Blooded, who light themselves on fire as they expend Essence with their special ability Charms.
* Ignus, from ''PlanescapeTorment''. Originally a ManOnFire, the fire did not really kill him. So he's now this.
* In ''{{Halo}} 3's'' online multiplayer, you know what the quickest and easiest way to identify an employee of Bungie Studios is? They'll be wearing Hayabusa armor....that's on fire.
** This is a reference to a famous description of ''Halo 2'', given by Bungie while it was still under development, "Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, except it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too."
* The ''{{Warcraft}}'' 3 ability Immolation, in which the unit covers himself in flame to damage the enemy (but manifests as a circle of flame surrounding the unit).
** The item "Cloak of Flames" gives this ability passively.
* Chernobog in ''{{Fantasia}}''.
* The Winged Dragon Of Ra in ''[=~Yu-Gi-Oh!~=]'' does this. They call his ignited form a Phoenix.
* The Balrog in ''LordOfTheRings''.
* In ''DrMcNinja'', Dan [=McNinja=] sets himself on fire to prevent lesser ninjas from catching him (his suit is explicitly fireproof).
* Fezzik, from ''ThePrincessBride'', with the holocost cloak, in a wheelbarrow on fire. "There will be [=NO SUWVIVOWS=]!!!"
* Father from ''CodenameKidsNextDoor''. He's basically a black silhouette of a stereotypical sitcom dad who sounds like Orson Welles and is usually covered in flames. A character called Sir Toasty had the same shtick.

* The Archons (Blue fire!) and Dark Archons (Orange fire!) of ''{{Starcraft}}''.

* In ''[[HomestarRunner Peasant's Quest]]'', one of the requirements to be a peasant (and thus face Trogdor) is to be on fire.

* {{Master of Magic}} has Immolation unit ability -- units engaging an unit with it in a melee attack effectively subjected to a low-powered fireball.

* Semirhage from ''WheelOfTime'' uses this as a disguise (though it is probably only an illusion).

** This is a reference to a famous description of ''Halo 2'', given by Bungie while it was still under development, "Halo 2 is alot like Halo 1, except it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too."

* Some ''Pokemon'' are covered in flames, like Moltres or Rapidash.

* Fire from {{DC Comics}}. Her fire is green.

* [[http://www.costumzee.com/view/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/300px-thefallen.jpg The Fallen]] from the {{Transformers}} Comics takes this to the extreme by not onely being permanently on fire, but ''having flames inside his body.''

[[caption-width-right:330:Of the FantasticFour, girls find him the [[IncrediblyLamePun hottest]].]]
