Given Name: St. John Allerdyce
* St. John is pronounced Sinjin. I believe that the name is normally from england. *
Codename: Pyro
Height: 5"11-6"1
Weight: 140-147
Age: 19
Detailed Description of Powers: Pyro is invulnerable to any fire that he has placed under his mental control and has the psionic ability to cause any fire to grow in size and intensity and to take any form he wishes, even that of a living creature. The degree of Pyro's concentration necessary to manipulate a flame is directly proportional to its size, power, and flame present.
John cannot create fire of his own free will, he must have an external source to do so - such as a lighter or matches. Though the flame of a lighter maybe relatively small with his mutation he is able to make the flames grow and become more deadlier. Hence the smallest flame or fire can be turned into a deadly weapon if it had been chosen by Pyro to manipulate.
FIGHTING SKILLS/WEAPONS: John knows basic hand to hand fighting after having to learn from his time on the streets. He also carries around his infamous Zippo lighter that has spelt doom for many a person stupid enough to aggravate him.
Weakness: Pyro can be harmed by any fire that he does not mentally control. He also has to be able to see a flame in order to take control of it; in practical terms the flame must be within a 100-yard radius of him. Any of Pyro's fiery creations will immediately revert to ordinary flame if he turns his interest from it or has been incapacitated in any way shape or form.
Originally from: Sydney, Australia
Known Family:
Physical Description: John is far from your muscle-clad jock. He is actually very slender, though does have some definition on his arms and stomach. He tends to dress casually, jeans and a relatively form fitting shirt his normal choice but he has been known to wear t-shirts and anything else he can find.
His dirty blonde hair is normally gelled backwards over the back of his head to keep it out of his eyes and his well defined facial features; it also makes sure he has total eye contact with any fires he might want to manipulate.
Other: John's personality is much like his mutation - fiery and unpredictable. One minute he's calm and collected the next minutes he's a fire throwing maniac with an intent to burn everything and everyone around him. He also seems to have a very short fuse around people and is very easy to aggravate if in one of his foul moods or if he just doesn't like the person he's in company with.
On the whole John is very trigger happy when concerning his mutation and uses it often to impose his power over others that cross him; though it may just be he's an insane pyromaniac that likes to see things burn. When even the slightest bit threatened or just plain bored, Johns fingers will be happily playing with his Zippo lighter, opening and closing its snapping lid over and over again.
Bio: John didn't quite have the most normal of childhoods. Since birth the Allerdyce house was hardly easy going and the best environment for a growing child at any standards. His parents struggled against financial hard ship for years and worked twice as hard as any other family to pay for bills and food to feed their family, which would then obviously lead to many altercations between his parents on a regular basis. In school John also struggled, various letters being sent home complaining about his behavior and his boisterous nature that seemed to developing in him.
The attitude followed him right through to high school, where John would frequently skip class's to go and smoke behind the back of school with his friends. After this John's overall personality seemed to change, he became quite arrogant, thinking his way of dealing and thinking about things was the best and only way for him to get by in the world. This went on for many years, his parents still arguing over every little problem in the house including the behavior of their only son while John rebelled against everything and everyone because of it.
At age 15, John's mutation manifested itself. His parents were having one of their bigger fights as always when the fire place, which had been lighted by his father moments before, exploded outwards, catching both parents in a ball of flames that set them on fire instantly. Astonished at what he had done, John quickly fled the house and watched as it slowly catch fire from the inside. Neither parent survived the blaze and for some unholy reason John didn't care.
The next few years were a joyful time for the young mutant, he was free of the constant bickering of his parents and he was also free to do as he wished. Though he lived life out on the streets it was hardly tough, his mutation kept him safe and soon he was enjoying for the first time what it felt like to be powerful and unpredictable. He felt like he could rule the world and who would stop him? he knew of no one who could appose him, let alone stop him but still he kept himself to himself and struggled on as best he could.
It was when John turned 18 that things took a turn for the worst. It seemed the police had been searching for him these couple of years, they wanted answer as to his parents death and they quickly had put out warrants for his arrest. Knowing that he could never out run the cops forever John instantly knew what he had to do - get the hell out of the country. Getting every last bit of money he had ever saved or stolen, the young mutant purchased a one way ticket to New York, a place where he knew they would never look for him.
For the past year John has been making his own way in New York, looking for a purpose to his life that might make use of his abilites and to pull him out of the gutter and onto the path for greatness, but things are never that simple.
