Yeling Mah
"I didn't belong in the academy because I had depression. I didn't belong in the academic world because I was stupid. I didn't even belong among the mentally ill because I couldn't relate to anyone's traumas. I belonged nowhere. All I have to offer to this world, is the darkness. To bring forth the Second Great War. Because it's so easy to destroy. Even someone like me can do it. Even someone who doesn't fit in anywhere can do it. So I will burn everything down. Because Taras has shown me that this world is so damn broken, because I was not made for it, but I was forced to live in it. I will burn this entire world to ashes."

Yeling Mah is a 18 year old Chinese-American operative to the Contingency Initiative, serving Taras "Legion" Pax in Squad Four, under the supervision of Matthew "The Mirage" Lam. Yeling is tasked with elimination ops along with Squad Four, and uses his powers in a destructive manner to complete his objectives. Yeling is an extremely powerful pyrokinetic, his flames so hot and overwhelming that they are tinted a bright blue. The flames blasted from his hands are so great in magnitude that they resemble a tidal wave, giving the operative the moniker of Tidalflame.
Yeling is also a holder of the Dogma of Equivalent Exchange. Unlocking two levels.
Powers
Dogma of Equivalent Exchange: Like Matthew, Yeling possesses the power of the Dogma in his body, due to his mental state, poor physical attributes, and inability to fit in anywhere due to a combination of both. Yeling was given a chance at having a purpose by Taras Pax, to join the Contingency Initiative and advancing the Second Great War, allowing Yeling to use his powers at his fullest, with no reprimand. Like all users of the Dogma, levels of power must be unlocked through sacrifice. Yeling's Dogma Levels are unique to him, and has unlocked two levels currently.
Level 1 - Hinokami: Yeling sacrificed his family to achieve this level of power. This power was unlocked when Taras had approached the boy and convinced him to initiate a Dogma Bargain. Upon agreeing to the terms, Yeling's left arm instantly became engulfed with blue lines and demonic lettering, manifesting the flames of the Dogma, and his eyes became cyan blue in colour. These flames are extremely hot, far hotter than normal flames, and are said to be supernatural in affinity. Yeling has no limit as to how much flames he can generate, making his powers with pyrokinesis to be extremely potent.
When Yeling manifested this power, he had no control over it, and the flames incinerated his family in their home, killing them instantly. Devastated, Yeling wanted to take his own life, but Taras offered the boy a home in the Contingency Initiative, telling him that his life was never one to be cherished. All is left is to destroy, and to watch a world that so wronged him to burn to ash.
Over time, Taras taught Yeling to control his flames, to be more honed and even more concentrated, and overwhelming. Of all the members of the Contingency Initiative, Yeling is said to be the most destructive due to his powers.
Level 2 - Intangibility: Yeling sacrificed the right side of his face to achieve this power. By calling Level 2, Yeling's body becomes intangible, a mere ghostly blue flame. After honing on his skills, Yeling has been proven to be an extremely difficult opponent to defeat, and requires extremely careful precision and timing to land even a single blow. Only a few beings have been able to overcome Yeling's intangibility, including Matthew "The Mirage" Lam, Taras "Legion" Pax, and Logan "Metron" Woodley. All of which possess near superhuman combat skill.
Upon striking the Dogma Bargain to unlock Level 2, the entire right side of Yeling's face became horribly scarred, giving him a nightmarish appearance. Because of this, Taras gave the boy a mask that covered that side of his face during missions.
Super Moves
- Devil's Typhoon: Yeling stands still and unleashes his flames from his entire body, generating a massive tornado of blue fire. This area of effect attack was so potent, that upon calling Devil's Typhoon on a squad of guards, everyone was incinerated and reduces to ashes within a matter of seconds.
- Super Devil's Typhoon: Calling even more of his flames, Yeling's attack becomes superpowered, and the potency of this attack is increased manifold. This move was so powerful that for a brief time, the entire Stormwatch Brigade was unable to put it out and were overwhelmed.
