Brief History: Born as the sixth, and last, child of custodial workers, John spent a great amount of his childhood watching others. He excelled at academics, though he always worked better alone. His teachers labelled him as an outcast, and most of them tended to ignore him. A few pushed him to work harder and harder, never seeming to find his limit. Upon turning 16, he was put into the custodial career track, like his parents, because he was not deemed fit for University despite his mental capabilities. He never took a partner, though he never found the punishment overwhelming. He was reassigned to the waste treatment career track, and the following week, endured an accident that placed him in hospital. It was there that he was taken for experimentation, given his astounding mental aptitudes, as well as his physique.

You have successfully survived the experimentation process. (Unfortunately, due to the nature of the surgeries, your old memories have been lost.) Your awakened power is that of Fire Generation, which will allow you to create fire with your hands and have an immunity to flames that are not chemically generated (immunity does not extend to your clothes). Your fire can be built up and thrown in a fireball (range of up to 100 yards), or forced out in a torrent like a flamethrower (range of up to 10 yards). Core body temperature is naturally 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit higher than other humans.

We are your new family now. Unica above all.

[Bayla Naveen]

Bayla had already read John’s chart, and now she had nothing better to do than sit on her ass and stare at him. She had to admit he was a good-looking man… for having such pale skin. Roman was hotter. That didn’t stop her from sitting back and running her eyes up and down his muscled arms appreciatively.

When he stirred, Bayla sat up in her chair and stopped her ogling. ”Private Nuitu, you’re finally awake.” Her grin would show she was merely lightly teasing; he hadn’t slept longer than any of the other new recruits. ”When you’re ready you’ll have to get up, I’m your new best friend and I’ll be showing you around your new home.”

Once he was standing - she didn’t offer to help, he was way bigger than her anyways and if he keeled over she’d rather not get taken down with him - Bayla would nod and lead him out of the room, answering in a simple and straightforward way any questions he might have about where he was or what was going on.

Soon they entered the training room. The walls were insulated to protect against heat, and scattered throughout the room were training dummies. Bayla turned to John. ”Sounds like you’ve got some firepower. Literally.” She grinned at her own joke and winked. ”When you’re ready, try hitting those dummies with some fire. Let’s see what you got!”

And with that, she darted into the observation room attached to the training room and closed the door firmly before standing behind the thick glass and watching John with more than a hint of excitement. Who didn’t like fire, after all?

John looked around, quite stunned at the situation he was in. Though his face had a hint of confusion on it, his eyes darted around the room, taking in every detail, the walls, the dummies, even the frame that held the observation room's glass window in place. It took him a couple of minutes to take in everything, but once he had, he looked a lot more relaxed.

He looked down at his hands and then back to the woman behind the glass, for a brief moment he wondered how strong the glass was against heat. Though that thought quickly got drowned by the million thoughts of wonder and surprise that whizzed through his mind when he saw a small flame emanate from the center of his palm. He didn't close his eyes, he was fairly sure this wasn't a comic-book, but he did will the flame to grow. And grow it did, sending a pillar of flame right past his nose.

John couldn't help but flinch backwards, though a quick pat on his nose reassured him that he wasn't harmed. A small smile grew on his face and he pictured a perfect sphere of fire, swirling within itself. He felt the flame in his hand change and grow. He looked at the rest of his arm, and hoped it was as good as it looked, before throwing the fireball at a dummy.

[Bayla Naveen]

Bayla let out a low whistle as the fireball hit the dummy, bursting it into flames. He was going to be a powerhouse on their team. She let him play with his powers a bit longer before she stepped into the room, fanning herself a bit against the heat.

”Nice! I'm glad you're on our side.” Bayla grinned and motioned for John to follow her out of the training room. She led him through Gamma Base, explaining what his new daily schedule would be and what his new life would be like as a powered person. She answered his questions in a friendly and chatty way, such being the kind of person she was, and soon enough they were at the door to the Unicorn Unit barracks.

Specialist Naveen stopped at the door and turned to John. ”You've got the rest of the day off, but your regular schedule starts tomorrow. I hope you're ready to work your ass off,” she winked and grinned. ”I'll see you around Private Nuitu.”

And with that, she turned on her heel and strode away down the hall to her next duties, leaving John to his own devices.
