Background: Adam Hylund had a fairly uneventful childhood, doing moderately well in school but excelling in various athletics. After graduation from high school, he began a firefighters' training program, and secured a job with (a city)'s fire department within a year after completing the program. After several years on the job, he was sent to work as a liason with the police department in hunting down an arsonist, as he was experienced with tracking burn patterns and had other skills that would be useful in such a case. The arsonist caught wind of Adam's participation, however, and went after the firefighter, setting a blaze that gutted his apartment while he lay in bed, asleep. Adam woke up to find himself unharmed by the flames, but when he left to escape the blaze, the arsonist was waiting for him, and shot him twice in the back of the head, in full view of the firefighters sent to extinguish the fire. He barely survived, through means of his newfound power, but was too out-of-it to do anything during his funeral ceremony and subsequent burial. He finally awoke a few days after being interred, but managed to escape by willing himself incorporeal. Knowing that no normal person would be able to survive the flames and wounds that he did, Adam fled the mortuary and has since spent several days living in a ruined building across town, experimenting with his abilities. All the while, he broods, trying to figure out what to do next.
