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!

Dood, okay, so I suck, apparently. I've had this open in a browser tab ALL DAY... like, since you posted it... and I'm only just now getting to tag it. (9pm PST. o_o)

I'm Missy, and I'm 1/3 the mod team here at academy_x. I play four pups, and can't wait to work out some plots with you about them all. ^^

Rogue's relatively canon? I guess? She's been at the school since Halloween, and came straight from Mystique's clutches (mwahahaha) after killing Ms Marvel. She's got the whole wild and crazy thing, fun times excellent, but she's really really really shy. (Wow, do I sound tired, or what?)

I've got Paige, too. She's been at the school for 18 months or so, and she's a SWEETHEART. She's a studyaholic, and an innocent, naive, friendly, wonderful, young girl. She's also got two brothers at the school who are rather protective. Papa Guthrie died a couple days before Jono exploded, destroying the girls' dorm, which lead to 10 days or so of power-less-less (due to a spell Wanda cast accidentally...) ...am I going too fast for you? XD

Oh, my aim is jeanxskirt and I'm always up for chatting/ploting/playing. ^_^

I also play Wanda. She's quiet, bookish, reserved, and amusingly foreign. She was raised by gypsies, so there's a lot of stuff she doesn't really understand... like computers and whatnot. She can't seem to get the remote in the rec room to work on the television, and it makes her more and more frustrated every time. XD

And Logan. He's Logan.

[/novel]

Welcome to the game and whatnot! :) I'm totally down with making backstory and history and plotting and all that stuff. Lemme know what ideas you've got and we'll work stuff out!!

Ha! I do that on a regular basis myself, so it's totally understandable. And hi! :)

As opposed to the movie incarnation, I can actually imagine John getting along reasonably well with Rogue just because her history sucks just as much as his and he'd be able to relate to the runaway bit.

Aww, Paige. <3 her. Okay, <3 all 10 billion Guthries, but whatever. I'm thinking John would probably be mostly indifferent to her, but might flirt now and then just to try to get a rise out of Jono 'cause he's a bastard that way.

Heee, Wanda sounds adorable. I'm sure at some point she and John will bump into each other in the library, which should be amusing. ^_^

Heh. Hi, Logan. Meet your worst nightmare. Heh, no, I think John, while enough of a kamikaze to not really be afraid of Wolvie, per se, is still smart enough to know better than to push his luck. Not saying he won't still try to get under Logan's skin when the mood strikes, of course. :D

W00t! ^_^ Hi! I also have an almost 10 month old daughter (and a clingy husband) that keep me quite occupied. (Daughter during the day, husband on weekends...) So, I'm sorry if I'm delayed in tagging from time to time. <3

I concur. Rogue's got a lot of that "I've been through hard times" thing. She gets along well with people who've had troubles. She and Jono are like this. *crosses fingers* I can see Rogue and John connecting.

Yay Paige! I'm always so intimidated that I'm not playing her right. Had to read Gen X like, a billion times through to try and get a grip on her... and haven't even started in all her other incarnations. But now that she and Jono are off-again, she's gonna be more interested in flirting with other people. Especially since she's "grown up" a bit through her relationship with him so far. ;) So, yes. And John would get a rise out of Jay and Sam, too. Win-win-win!

Wanda's so much fun. I love how awkward she is, and how awkward she makes other people. For instance, she didn't know how to fist-bump with Ty, so she put her hand over his fist as in Rock-Paper-Scissors. ^^ Anyway, she's fun times. It'll be fun to get them together. Because yay Brotherhood starting up!

Logan will most likely ignore him to the best of his ability. He likes certain students, and ignores almost all the rest. I think there's a part of him that thinks the school would be a lot nicer without all the students in it. XD Yay being curmudgeonly!

lmao Sam and Jay both would probably be like, "o_____O Are you trying to kill us?" Because one unhinged snarker with destructive powers and self-destructive tendencies wasn't enough, obviously.

Ha! That's adorable. <3 Wanda will add a nice female touch to the boys club (Or, as John would probably put it, she'll put the "ho" in the BroHo), so yes, yay!

*snort* Well, for what it's worth, I think that's more or less John's attitude about the school as well, so maybe he and Logan will have at least something in common. :)

	Obviously. ;) With a broken heart and a tendency to crush on every boy who talks to her, I can see Paige giving him a second glance. (and a third?) Bwahahaha, ^__^ I love it so much. Ho. xD Wanda's really friendly, she'll be nice and crazy to him. She's gonna LOVE being the ho in Broho. (Reply to this) (Parent)
