Headcanon time! So I’ve always internally headcanonned Kai to not really burn himself with his powers. His power is to create and control fire and so he has the ability to hold fire without it actually touching his skin. He can get burned, especially by fire he isn’t controlling, but generally, keeping fire micrometers away from his skin and clothes is second nature and he doesn’t need to think hard about it (like blinking or walking; this does mean if he becomes too aware about it, he starts struggling to do it, like how if you become aware that you need to blink you end up consciously doing it, sorry for messing up your eyes). However Kai has burned himself when focusing all his energy into a super powered attack (where he disregards safety, trying to create the hottest fire), such as in s11, fight Boreal. (Also he still usually wears fireproof gloves just in case)
But despite not actually having any burn scars for the most part, Kai instead has a lot of freckles on his hands and arms. He used to have freckles as a kid but they mostly faded until he awakened his powers and now they’re back.
