Pyro

Hey everyone. The name's Dust, and I'm new around here, bringing with me the hotheaded jackassery of Pyro. Just seeing if there's anyone out there who's willing to plot with this guy? Brotherhood members; Ex-buddies from the X-men; completely unrelated people... Anything.

Maybe my ladies could help you out there

Rogue and Pyro's friendship is pretty historical now, and don't think they've really had any proper interaction in years, but they definitely have background. As much as she appreciates a lil bit of fire in a person, I always got the impression that John's obnoxiousness rubbed her up the wrong way. So that could make for an interesting dynamic if they come face to face again.

And then there's Mystique. Pyro's always been Magneto's right hand man, and I'm thinking the relationship between her and John has been more like they tolerate each other because they have to? In any case, I'm sure Myst recognises him as a useful ally to have around. Some backbiting between them might be fun, sometime.

I think Victor would enjoy biting his head off...literally. But who knows, he might find him amusing.

Wanda's around the club, though not always a happy camper. Unlike others she has no desire to run the Brotherhood, though she might decide that Mystique has had her chance and is much too brutal and Wanda might support Pyro taking over. She's not above using sex, or the hint of sex, to manipulate someone and while she doesn't want to lead she's also not above controlling from the shadows.

Bobby is apparently in the business of befriending the Brotherhood one by one at the moment. I think it'd be great to have them interact somehow - perhaps something to do with the cleanup of the BW, or the big final battle. On the same side, face to face, having to NOT torch Bobby... Their relationship is a great one to play on. Bobby, much as he is disappointed in the choice that John made, doesn't hate him as evidenced by Alcatraz. It's been a few years, so how John has thought on the matter (if at all) is up to you obviously. I would be interested to see aspects of their former friendship played on (even if - no, ESPECIALLY IF - John despises Iceman now).

How to thread them AFTER the Bw... I'm not exactly sure. I can't see many of their run-ins ending well, with John being so hot-headed and not caring if he makes a scene. Drake wouldn't exactly seek him out, either, and he's not about to come knocking on the BH door.

Thoughts?

Mmm.. With Pyro and Rogue, I always imagined that he might have even found her a bit attractive, even though she was with Bobby the whole time. He seemed to want to impress her a bit, even though she pretty much dismissed his obnoxiousness and inflated ego.

Although, I did mention in the history that he got pissed off when she sucked up his powers and stopped him from blowing up all the policemen at Bobby's house. I don't think they ever made up after that. So yeah, I can imagine him still feeling a bit resentful towards her.

-

Yeah, I think he recognises Mystique as the leader, but if it ever came to a choice between Mystique and Magneto, the choice wouldn't even require a second thought. Just random jibing and poking at each other. She might see him as a bit of a kid, still, since she's a bit older than him, I believe?

-

Victor wants to bite EVERYONE's head off... Well, I can foresee lots of arguments and maybe even fights at some point, because there's no way in hell that John will take it all sitting down. He's just a hotheaded, and more than willing to fight. Guess it also comes down to whether Victor actually sees him as a threat, or just some trashtalking cub.

-

I think Pyro would be drawn to Wanda initially, simply because she's Magneto's daughter. So he'd probably respect her, and until she proves that she doesn't follow her father's ideals, be pretty good to her. If at some point Wanda decides that she doesn't want Mystique to be leader, I'm up for her kinda subtly leading and manipulating John towards a coup d'etat, since it isn't really something he would fight for himself, but if she was influencing him to do it, he might...

-

Iceman! Alrighty... Well, whilst they're certainly not on the best of terms anymore, I don't think John outright HATES Bobby. He suspects that Bobby was the one who saved him after Alcatraz, and is at least partly thankful for him. I think their fights and stuff would mostly be related to John simply being hot-headed and wanting to prove himself to be better than Iceman, a sort of rivalry thing going on amidst their friendship, which I think was evident even back when they were best buddies. In his mind, fire should always triumph over ice, and he wasn't pleased with the results of Alcatraz at all.

As for fighting on the same side, I don't think he'll mind that. Like I said, it's all about showing Iceman up and doing better than him, so it'll simply become a competition to see who can roast more bad guys. It would be interesting to see it play out if John hates his guts... but right now, can't see it happening... dammit. Maybe we should try and make it happen... xD

EDIT:

Yeah, thought I'd include my AIM here. Note though, I don't really use it outside of RPGs, so I might not be on all that often. But who knows, you might be lucky and catch me on it... xD

It's llliterateguy, with 3 Ls at the beginning, not an Ill.

There are few (if any) that Victor sees as threats, so he'd likely see Pyro as a hotheaded whelp that needs the Alpha to put him in his place...so yeah, arguments and fights are going to be a given.

We may have a chance or two for some hot headed jackassery, if things go down a certain way after the BW.

I'm only lurking as really I should be packing and moving stuff but who can resist staying away from this place for too long? It seems to have become one of my new addictions, that and farmville on facebook but that's a whole different story.

Anyway, I digress....I was thinking that Marti and Pyro could have some kind of friendship, as much as the Brotherhood people would allow themselves. But Marti is more nice towards people then her sister Regan, in my opinion, especially of anything that is of the opposite sex. So just because Pyro is male, she'll talk to him regardless, lol. But I'll let you read her bio and figure out where you might see them and I'll check back later...

...on one of my breaks from packing

You know what the Brotherhood needs?

A night of gambling and illicit partying in Atlantic City - where we take the Borgota to town. Both physically, and econiomically.

badassery.

Alex - Hotheaded assery is the only way to do things, I say. >=D Bring it. But yeah, it can wait until after the BW settles down.

Martinique - Well, if she's going to give it to him, Pyro ain't saying no. I doubt there'll be anything serious (Martinique doesn't sound like the type for that anyway), but just light-hearted flirting, and yeah, I think a basic friendship thing going on, perhaps closer than the typical Brotherhood bonds.

And... villains going partying? Sounds like a winner to me. If they accuse you of cheating, just blast 'em away... I look forward to it

Yeah, people do seem to agree that Pyro had a crush on Rogue back when he was still at the mansion. The whole deal at the museum/Bobby thinking he was trying to impress her fits that too. Whether you want that attraction to still stand, or whether he just plain dislikes her ever since that power-sucking incident is totally up to you. They haven't really spoken at all since then, so I can imagine her having a few well-placed mouthfulls for him to chew over if they ever do butt heads again.

Definitely, between Magneto and Myst, there'd be no contest for him. She's actually about 70/80-ish years older than him, I think, so just a bit But I like the sound of that Atlantic City idea. It'd be a great way to get all the Bhood together, post-boardwide, and cause a lil chaos. No doubt Myst and Pyro will find a way to pull on each other's nerves while they're there.

No, nothing serious with her. She's not the type to settle down. She's going to have one relationship that will last but its more of an off / on again thing, whenever its convenient for both of them...which might also cause issues between Pyro and Sabes with Sabes' Alpha male complex, lol.

But take away that, I can see the flirting between the two of them and yes, more of a friendship then say what anyone else would have. Talking on rooftops or over his fires, roasting marshmallows. If you want, we can even say that she was someone he latched onto as far as the friendship goes, thinking of what kind of friends he would have been with Rogue or some of the other X-ers. What do you think?

And I am all up for a party. I have to admit, Marti and Regan could win a lot at blackjack or something with their illusion abilities.

Rogue - I think I'm going to go with a hate thing. His powers are the most important thing to him, and taking them away is the worst thing you could do to him. So if/when they meet, it won't be as pleasant. I don't think she was ever impressed by him anyway, so I don't think it affects her too much... xD

Myst - Aye, that post BW party sounds like it's going to be a blast.

Martinique - I could see them working out as fairly close friends, like, at least on Brotherhood standards. As long as she is able to accept him for who he is, you know, doesn't look down onhis youth or his hotheadedness, he's unlikely to have an issue with her. I guess how seriously she takes him is up to you... And roasting marshmallows would be awesome
