When Vivo was young, his fur was a vibrant golden brown and his magic sacs glowed red and orange from powerful heat magic. He was blazing fast, with a brilliant mind but a gentle heart.

Sadly, he was captured by a wicked magician and kept as a specimen. Abused and isolated during the imprisonment, his sense of self slowly burnt out until his soul was damaged beyond repair. Once he was close enough to death to trigger revivification, his chest sac burst, and his soul released. Vivo revived alone, the magician nowhere in sight.

Though Vivo's spirit was renewed, losing his heart had caused the majority of Vivo's heat magic to dissipate, causing an endothermic reaction ... tl;dr in other words, his hot magic became cool. His golden fur dulled, and his red/orange antennae and whiskers chilled to blue. The double-helix tail sac contains about 90% of his remaining magic, along with all of what's left of his heat powers. However, what little magic remains is weak and quickly exhausts his strength to use.
