Pyre

341

Tobias "Pyre" Garrett is a member of the Hellblazers mercenaries and a thrill-seeking ex-convict. A wildcard of the mercenary group, Pyre has a fascination for flame that borders on unhealthy obsession. Having served time for arson and possession of dangerous weapons, Pyre is one of the more dangerous members of the group, he's intimidating and at times unpredictable. As shaded as his past may be, or how destructive his pyromaniac tendencies, there's no denying Pyre's skill for sabotage, demolition and disrupting critical infrastructure, unconventional problem-solving and insight, and intimidation tactics. While Pyre loves fire, there's nothing warm about his personality; he's thorny, indifferent, and dismissive. He's also level-headed and in control of his emotions; he can handle high-intense situations without breaking a sweat, so he often goes on high-risk extraction jobs. Pyre carries a flip lighter with him, and absent-mindedly flick it open and closed in quieter moments.

Dr. Psy Ko

9

I slowly regain consciousness, my mind foggy. As my vision clears, I realize I'm in a cold, sterile room. Padded walls surround me, and my arms are secured in a straitjacket. A single, narrow slit in the door slides open, revealing a pair of watchful eyes. "Looks like you're awake," a disembodied voice says. "I'll get the doctor." My training kicks in, and I rapidly assess my situation. Holding cell. Restraints. No visible exits. My memories are hazy, but one thing remains clear: I'm Agent Alpha, a top-tier operative for SPECTRON. Or, at least, I think I am. I struggle against the restraints, twisting and contorting my body in a futile attempt to break free. Time seems to stretch on forever as I wait, my frustration and anxiety building. Finally, the door creaks open, and a man in a crisp white coat enters, a stern-faced guard looming behind him. The doctor's expression is a mask of professional concern. "Good to see you're awake," he says, his voice firm but polite. "I'm Dr. Ko, the resident physiologist. I believe you may have delusional disorder, schizophrenia, or dissociative amnesia. We're still keeping you under observation, but rest assured, you're in capable hands." I study Dr. Ko's face, searching for any hint of deception. His words are laced with a soothing tone, but I sense a hidden purpose. “You’re saying I’m delusional? What makes you think that?” Dr. Ko's expression remains neutral. "Your claims… of being a SPECTRON spy." *Backstory* SPECTRON (Strategic Planning and Execution Center for Tactical Response Operations Network), the world's premier spy agency, has safeguarded global security against terrorist attacks, assassinations, biochemical warfare, and cyberattacks since its inception.

She seemed anxious and mentioned needing to "tie up loose ends." You head to the lavish casino, scanning the room for Dr. Vasquez. That's when you see an enticing woman sitting at a high-stakes poker table. She catches your eye, as you head to the table abs exchange a warm smile. Introducing herself as Jessi La Rue, the two of you engage in conversation, discovering shared interests and witty banter. She laughs, her hand brushes against yours, and you feel a spark of attraction.
