Firestarter
Nick Kremp, the Firestarter, was an infernal wizard and adventurer of My Alchemical Romance whose lawful heart burned as brightly as his flamespeaking. Raised without privilege, Nick became the group’s public voice, hype man, and emotional warmth, using charm, optimism, and fire magic to lift others even when the world turned dangerous. His relationship with Iwlvflybadofsjhhu Jr. and bond with Princess Beatrix, his beloved polar bear companion, grounded him beyond spectacle. Nick believed in doing good, following the law where he could, and keeping the spark alive for his friends; his death in 2100 MB left My Alchemical Romance without one of its brightest lights.

Open aspectControl Flames
Choose nonmagical flame within range that fits in a 5-ft. cube. You may expand it 5 ft. into fuel, extinguish it, double or halve its light, change its color, or shape harmless animated images in it. You can maintain up to three non-instant effects.
Fire Bolt
Hurl a mote of fire at one creature or object within range. Make a ranged power attack. On a hit, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage. A flammable unattended object hit by this power ignites.
Burning Hands
A sheet of flame erupts from your hands. Creatures of your choice in the cone must make a DEX save, taking 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success. Flammable unattended objects in the cone ignite.
Produce Flame
A flame appears in your hand, shedding bright light in a 20-ft. radius and dim light for another 20 ft. As an action while it lasts, hurl it at one target within 60 ft.; make a ranged power attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 fire damage.
Searing Smite
The next time you hit with a weapon or power attack before the duration ends, the target takes an extra 1d6 fire damage and ignites. At the start of each of its turns, it takes 1d6 fire damage, then makes a CON save, ending the burning on a success.
Hellish Rebuke
When a creature within range damages you, surround it with retaliatory flame. The target must make a DEX save, taking 11 (2d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success.
Fireball
A bright streak blossoms into a 20-ft. radius explosion at a point within range. Creatures in the area must make a DEX save, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success. Flammable unattended objects ignite.
Ashardalon's Stride
Flames blast from your feet. Your speed increases by 20 ft., your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks, and once per turn when you move within 5 ft. of a creature or unattended object, it takes 1d6 fire damage.
Melf's Minute Meteors
Six tiny meteors orbit you. As a bonus action, expend one or two meteors and send each to a point within 120 ft. Creatures within 5 ft. of a meteor impact must make a DEX save, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success.
Smoke Step
Teleport from one flame, smoke cloud, ember, or heated surface you can see to another unoccupied space within range that is adjacent to flame, smoke, ember, or heated metal. Creatures within 5 ft. of the space you leave or enter take fire damage equal to your CHA modifier.
Flame Strike
A vertical column of brilliant fire roars down in a 10-ft. radius, 40-ft. high cylinder within range. Creatures in the area must make a DEX save, taking 5d6 fire damage and 5d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half on a success.
Immolation
Flames wreathe one creature within range. The target must make a DEX save, taking 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success. On a failed save, it burns for the duration, sheds bright light, and takes 4d6 fire damage at the end of each turn until it succeeds on the repeated save. If this kills the target, it becomes ash.

During Ash Stonefist’s mindscape rescue, Nick gained infernal chains and twin scythes tied to Orlandus trauma; during the Battle of VQU he killed Orlandus’s Voidforged remnant. At Baron von Queef’s masquerade, I.J. turned him after a Night Hag necrotic attack; his soul and mind remained intact. During Trixie’s Game Master Spectacle, I.J. was Nick’s prisoner. Nick later surrendered the cursed soul-hungry scythes to Djeebus, who folded them into a small black void crystal. Nick later died in 2100 MB. In Act 5 Gravenhurst/Root Barrel Farm, a Nick-like figure was reported alive with I.J. and P.B.; this figure failed key Nick memory/personality checks, used “fireball” instead of “flame on,” did not remember “trifling wizard,” gave the party farm-supply rewards, and is tracked as unresolved rather than confirmed as the original Nick.

storyThe passage narrowed as they walked—fleshy walls lined with twitching neurons, pulsing in sync with something old and unseen. The scent was faintly metallic. The light, pulsing. The atmosphere was cerebral — like a therapist's manifestation gone wrong.
storyThe group entered the devastated courtyard, where Voidforged hunted students; Ash was pinned by a Forged, but Eveline intervened in werewolf form and tore it apart.
storyThe first lane split left and right, and the right-hand tunnel ended almost immediately—a short stretch of brick, a wall, and the quiet disappointment of wasted steps. The lesson was simple and quickly learned. They turned back, went left, and followed the pat
storyDorm assignments placed Nick with Orlandus, Ash with Eveline, Maine with Fang, Victor with Exaba, Jonah with Tintoretto, and Darius with I.J. Floor 3 became the first shared student hub.
storyA time usually alive with chatter, music, and spellbound mischief had been replaced by something quieter.
storyThe brainspace beneath their feat felt like walking through a desolate farm field that should be thriving. Every inch of Ash’s mind was collapsing in on itself like a guilty secret held one second too long.
storyA larger Voidforged emerged containing what remained of Orlandus; it tempted Nick with power and the old promise of running the floor together, but Nick executed it with his chained scythes.
storyIronhoof — Astrid Ironhoof introduced Alchemy 201 and assigned the students fieldwork to collect Impweed and Nightcabbage, establishing their first practical VQU quest.
storySomewhere, in the deepest recess of Ash Stonefist’s mind, the logic of architecture had given up.
storyThe silence after Orlandus’s fall was not peace — it was the silence of an open grave.
storyLate-night dorm scenes show Nick grieving Orlandus, Eveline making Balance flyers, Ash confessing Aboleth whispers, Exaba giving Victor Walter’s egg, and Darius facing a shadow reflection.
storyThree wires—wet, twitching, glittering with void-filament—now arced from the side chambers and hovered in midair like serpents waiting to strike.
storyCrossing the threshold was like stepping through the surface of an empty ocean — no splash, no resistance, only the cold press of endless depth.
storyThe group returned from the gathering quest alive, found Astrid’s dismissive congratulations note, and watched the official VQU banner unfurl with “WELCOME TO VQU Try Not To Die.” Orlandus revealed he had arranged a date with the Martinique sisters.
storyBack in Room 3A, Nick Kremp remained settled on the edge of his bed, a small candle flickering between his hands. A token for Orlandus. A moment for himself.
storyNick Kremp had never been good at silence. Not the respectful kind, anyway. The room was too neat. Too Baron. The sort of neatness that said _I’m in control_, and the sort of roommate that said _you aren’t._
storyAsh woke in Room 3B surrounded by shattered mirror-glass, but Darius was missing; Maine discovered the elevator shaft ruined, Ash asked for Eveline, and Nick climbed into the broken dark with his scythe.
storyThe world reassembled around them in pieces — smell first, then heat, then light.
storyThe egg was restless again. Every eighteen minutes, it shivered inside its disguise — just enough to remind Victor that whatever was inside it was not interested in patience.
storyA readable baseline for the Pink Pony Girls roster, from the original team through Tarria and Grease joining later.
itemControlled dose for 1 hour: +2 to Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma checks and saves; -2 to Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom checks and saves.
