RE: The Grand OC! [CONTEST EIGHT: BOREAL! SUBMISSIONS WELCOME!]

Alrighty! And that wraps up a very successful consecutive eight weeks of Grand OC-ing! Great work, everyone!
For Week Nine, in the fine Grand Battle tradition of placing a ridiculous amount of significance on the number 8, we'll be doing an All-Stars week!
So here's Week Nine's Theme: (choose any 2-3 of) Flight, Light and Darkness, Sirens, Command, Cannons, Form, Nightmares, and/or Boreal! That's right, for this week you take two or three of the last eight weeks' themes, and make a cohesive character that incorporates/embodies them!
A couple of ground rules:
No two entries may use the same set of themes. So if someone makes Flight+Sirens before you, you're shit out of luck - making Flight+Sirens+Form is just fine though.
There is no reserve system. Anything is free game until a profile goes up, first come first served.
You've got a week! Week 10 we can be back to the usual single-theme arrangement.
Provided we have at least nine entrants, there will be an additional award - the Space Jam Remix Prize For Cross-Thematic Cohesion. I'll give this to the entry whose constituent themes are the least likely to work, but somehow do.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
