Role-Playing Notes:

History:
St. John Allerdyce was born and raised in Australia. His powers emerged at puberty, but since he could not think of a way to use them for profit, for years he did not use them except in emergencies. For a time Allerdyce drifted from job to job around the South Seas. Eventually he became a journalist for an Australian wire service and covered Viet Nam and Indonesia. What he saw and experienced in his travels became the basis for novels he began writing. (He also wrote torrid Gothic romances.) Allerdyce’s novels were despised by serious novelists and the critics, but they found wide readership throughout the English-speaking world. Under circumstances that have yet to be revealed, Allerdyce met the mutant called Mystique, who learned of his mutant powers. As a result Allerdyce joined her new version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants under the name of Pyro. Since then, Mystique’s Brotherhood, renamed Freedom Force, has entered the employ of the United States government, which has pardoned the members for their past crimes. Pyro remains in Freedom Force today.
