I think you will find your time better spent by not thinking too much about this (says Silentia, ever the hypocrit, who spends far too much time thinking about things that will only bring him strife). But they say love is blind, evidently even to other species. As for Alan's origin, I figure he was a test tube baby, as it were, created from his parents' genetic material externally because they wanted a child but had to face certain limitations. This might explain why he seems to be both a human and pyronite at once, rather than a bizarre fusion thereof (go to the Kevin 11 article and see the third image down the page to see what that looks like).
