HISTORY
"I don't know what's worse. Those guys or the fact that Heath was right"
Heath grew up in a presumably happy home with both his fire elemental parents. He's also related (either by blood or marriage) to the Jekyll/Hyde descendants, his cousin(s) Jackson/Holt being inflicted with the dual personality problem; whom he grew up with. Heath lives in New Salem, Massachusetts, a place where the human (or "normie") society and the supernatural (or "monster") society live in segregation. Monsters themselves generally do not willingly spend time together, living in their own separate areas and sending their children to species-exclusive schools.
Heath is enrolled in Monster High, the first and so far only integrated school, allowing all monsters (and even normies) through its doors. As a result, the students within the school have learned valuable lessons of tolerance and acceptance that their elders have not. The teenagers of monster high live fairly regular lives, going to class, clubs, spending time outside of school together, and so on. Heath was around to watch his school attempt to merge with a vampire school and a werewolf school, and the resulting fallout of an old monster hunter who attempted to prove monsters could not live in an integrated society, for fear that if they joined forces, they'd be a threat to humanity. He was also witness to a Halloween prank gone wrong, resulting in the near public execution of his cousin for a crime he didn't commit. There was also that one human guy who showed up and tried to set a rage monster loose on them all. YAY. Needles to say, aside from his cousin, Heath is a little wary of humanity. As much as his school promotes tolerance, humanity seems largely uninterested in following suit. He's also travelled with the girls to far off places, helping Clawdeen escape from a fashionita prison (yeah really) and chasing after a sentient book across the world. After they proved themselves, Heath was even willing to allow girls into the Skulltimate Rollermaze team, a sport that had been exclusively for boys for a long time. Exactly WHERE these events fit into the webisode main canon is a little tricky, but at his current canonpoint, he's experienced all of them. Heath comes into Exsilium after in invasion of other dimensional creatures, who turned out to be a lot less evil than he anticipated. Them's the breaks.
PERSONALITY
"This Heath, he is hailstone that thinks it is iceberg"
On first impression, Heath comes across as conceited, arrogant, rude and a horrific flirt. Once you get to know him better, you realise all these things are true, and that he's not ashamed of it. He loves being the centre of attention, and does all he can to ensure he remains as such. Heath is desperate to fit in, to be noticed and adored by everyone. His behaviour can vary largely with the company he keeps. He's more inclined to be a complete jackass when he's spending time with school bully Manny, than he is with his much more level headed best friend, Deuce.
Thanks to his fire elemental nature, Heath is very easily distracted, flitting from one thing to another, and spending very little time concentrating on one thing. This also makes him impulsive, prone to touching things he shouldn't and doing reckless things to keep himself active. Sitting still and quietly for any length of time is not a feasible thing to ask of him. This often gets him into trouble, bringing all sorts of chaos into the classroom when he gets bored. He's part of the track team and Skultimate Roller Maze (a very extreme roller skating sport) where his boundless energy comes in handy.
His most obvious trait is that he's a horrific flirt. He'll happily hit on any lady who happens to take his fancy that day, spouting cheesy pick up lines and generally badgering her in the hopes that she'll be flattered by his advances. The fact he's one of the more good looking monsters in the school has just added to his belief that he's the school stud. He does have an ability to be charming, but often blows any luck he has with the ladies with his arrogance or tendency to speak before thinking. He seems to genuinely care for Abbey, a yeti exchange student, and has even managed to act vaguely normal around her, even dropping his horrible tendency towards pet names. Even with this development, however, he still remains a terrible flirt by nature.
Heath rarely thinks before he speaks, which often results in him saying something hurtful or insulting. He sees it all as a big joke, and is confused when people take his jerkish words to heart. He rarely apologies for his actions, though. If people can't take a joke, it's their problem. He's also extremely clumsy, often tripping over thin air.
Despite all of this, Heath is not without his good qualities. He willingly spends time with his "normie" cousin, despite the fact Jackson is an unwelcome addition to the monster community. He's willing to help the girls out when they really need him, often without expecting anything in return. He was also willing to fight off what he thought were deadly monsters in order to prevent them from hurting his friends.
He's not one for planning ahead, or worrying about the future. When his friend Frankie was panicking about her lack of plans for the upcoming new year, he pointed out that it's much better to not have plans, to just go with the flow of whatever life throws at you. As far was he's concerned, it's more exciting that way.
Though he may be an unpredictable, arrogant Casanova, Heath remains a loyal friend, and someone who is more than happy to strike up a conversation with anyone who has the energy to keep up with him.
ABILITIES
"Was it because I burned that book? Burned my locker? The bathroom? The theatre? The pool?"
Heath is a fire elemental, a nature spirit; fire given form. He can create fire whenever he so needs to, particularly from his hair. He can throw fireballs like any other kid could throw a baseball. His species' abilities are linked to their emotions, and so control of them requires emotional control as well. Given Heath is a teenage boy, he's understandably still trying to get a grip on them, without much luck. Whenever his emotional state moves up from a calm ambivalent, his hair sometimes burst into flames in reaction to the emotional change, setting fire to any unfortunates standing near him at the time.
He can't use his powers while he's wet, and a side effect of being a flame elemental is a condition very similar to ADHD. He gets distracted easily, is recklessly impulsive and has real trouble concentrating on anything for an extended length of time.
He seems very hardy, compared to most monsters. He's able to withstand pretty brutal treatment, including being frozen alive and turned to stone alive on multiple occasions. If this is part of his elemental nature or if he's just plain lucky is never explained.
Thanks to his extracurricular activities, Heath is a very fast runner and a very talented extreme skater.
