Greetings and salutations! I'm new here, and presenting for your entertainment everyone's favorite temperamental firebug, Pyro. His full bio is here, but here are the highlights, cut to save your friends page:
-- He was born in Australia but hasn't seen anything of it since he was four, so no, he doesn't have any idea if kangaroos wear boxing gloves in the wild or if Crocodile Dundee is a fair representation of the fine people down under. He doesn't care. Don't bother.
-- 17 now and has been at the school for roughly two years. Before that, he spent most of his time bouncing around from one foster family to another in New York City, and for about two and a half years before arriving at the school, he was virtually a fugitive from the system and living on his own wherever and however he could.
-- One foster family, at least, was good, and of course that had to be the one he was with when his powers manifested. He's really very reluctant to talk about anything specific from his past anyway, but he absolutely will not talk about this. Or at least not without lots of booze and/or some telepathic wizardry first.
-- Two of his favorite things: fire and boobs. So really, he's pretty similar to every other seventeen-year-old boy. Yep.
As for interactions, well, of course I'm itching to do something with him and Avalanche, and a good frienemy line with Iceman would be pretty awesome, too. Pretty much, I'm game for just about anything. I have a feeling he'd naturally gravitate toward fellow orphans, not because of any kind of sentimental solidarity thing or whatever, but just because at least he'd feel less like punching them; all these entitled brats who never had to worry about anything in their lives and who cry and whine now that "omg, life's like, so hard, man!" make him a bit axe crazy.
Oh, and I guess I should actually introduce myself, too. I'm Amanda, 24, and in grad school to get my M.A. in history. Exciting, I know. I live in West Virginia, so consider this proof that we do, in fact, have electricity. Word's still out on shoes and indoor plumbing, though. I'm a creative writer at heart and tend to focus more on fanfic, but ventured into roleplaying about five years ago and haven't stopped since. I usually play Chamber wherever I go, but 1) he's already taken and 2) I wanted to do something different, anyway. What can I say? I like snarky, fiery boys with possible mental instability issues, apparently.
That's all I got. I'm pretty boring, sorry.
So, uh, yeah! Happy to be here and excited to get started, so if anyone has any ideas or whatnot, hit me up!
