Name: Apollo

Gender: Male, pansexual

Age/DOB: 10@arrival, currently ~20

Origin: Born Aperturth near Lane Mansion

Family: Mother Destiny, father Pan, half brother Dandy, half sisters Crow, Persephone, Pandora, Siren

Other: As amazing as his name implies, and he will live up to that charm, he's very popular

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 135* Icarus lightened a bit, he's not as strong as his father but definitely is well toned, long-limbed, and quite graceful

Hair: hay blonde, will go platinum by the time he's in his 30s, started out quite a bit darker blond; fluffy, not really wavy but takes style very well, kept short, bushy sideburns and eyebrows

Eyes: very pale blue, also seem to have gotten much paler over time, as they started out a teal shade, cheerful, heavy dark lashes

Appearance: fair skinned, creamy, tans nicely into a light copper; he's happy he's past his gangly teen years, because he was all limbs; usually smiling wide, with bright big teeth, and if there's a gleam to be seen he will flash those teeth... likes dressing nicely, found a home with horse riding gear still in its dry cleaning bags, and pretty much swiped all of it. His voice is strong and sure, he laughs often, and will likely have that 'comfort dad' sound as he grows older

Icarus Processing: Yes, at the age of 12 when others in the Hippies were also having it done. This definitely helped his build and physical overall health, he's much lighter but still at least half again as strong as anyone around, and heals rapidly from superficial wounds. He fights off diseases like a pro, though since he was old enough to have gone through some childhood diseases he still remembers how that can make any day go south. It boosted his Vortal abilities strongly.

Genetic Abilities: Even before his Icarus treatment, Apollo was quite clearly gifted with powerful aura reading and empathy. His overall suite of powers is very much Pantheon level, as his empathic power works very well on individuals as well as groups, at ranges up to 20 meters for more people and up to 50 meters for a single person's focal point. He can telepathically communicate with any Vortal mind up to 10 miles away, and his mental voice is bright, clear, and 'sunny', like his smile. His strongest person-based ability is aura reading, and he has had instruction from Melissa and some Vorts on how best to approach it. He prefers bolder and less subtle interpretations, but he's still able to suss out individual powers visible in auras of Pantheon folk, as well as overall health and potential from normal people. Where he truly 'shines' in a literal sense is that he has an out-of-body ability that is visible to normal people, his lih shows up vividly as a brightly yellow 'ghost', or 'halo' - he truly is an angel when he's like that. And since the range on that power is a ridiculous 100 miles, he will be relied upon more and more to make sure that stray refugees and rebels are found, and enemy camps are rooted out. If he's got someone with him that can boost powers (and there are a few) he literally burns with wings and is concentrating on the whole visual 'godlike' aspect of his namesake. Though he doesn't see visions of future events, he can often tell just by looking at someone's aura while in this state, how they came to be where they are. He truly is a guardian angel, and given this world's needs, he has his work cut out for him. He's up to it. He cannot Vortally heal anyone, but his mere presence often enough has a soothing effect on injured or terrified people. Far from being a 'terrifying god' - like you'd think Paxton or Alma might be in a vision like that - he is the embodiment of care and kindness.
Skills or Profession: though already well versed in stealth and navigation around ruins and back roads, after his Icarus treatments and downloads, Apollo has worked strongly with maps, psychology, and emergency care measures. He always carries around just enough medical gear to help stabilize anyone he finds, though he often has to wait for Helios to bring his body to a spot where his lih has found someone. He had started learning how to play the guitar as a child, and now knows piano, violin, flute, and a bit of saxophone - though good condition instruments are hard to come by. He also has a great singing voice, as per his whole Greek God thing.
Personality: He lives up to the idea of Apollo the god, bright and beautiful, caring, and dedicated. Though he does have a strong 'sword' arm, he would much rather weild a flag to signal where refugees should go. Working with the physicians and psychologists to get an idea of how best to treat someone, he will carefully observe and ask simple questions, to make sure no one gets left out or feels snubbed. He is quite protective, however, and if he spots a bully among a group he will absolutely call them out on it. Ladies and gents alike swoon to watch him, and he relishes it, but he's also ridiculously humble in that regard (only). He has and will continue to have girlfriends and guyfriends and anyone in between, though he tries to keep them spaced out a little because jealousy does arise easily enough. He knows he is a bright, shining signal flare, he doesn't want to start forest fires.

Events or History: second born to the entire troupe, just barely older than Saga. He has always taken up helping his mother and the rest care for the younger kids, offering the adults a bit of a break when they needed it, and he never seemed stressed about it at all. All of it comes very easy to him, from childcare to seeking out lost refugees in the wilderness. If the Carnies had a say in it, he'd surely have been among their star performers. More likely, his sister Siren and he should take their singing on the road some day! They are quite like night and day, but he loves his little sister with all his heart. Not that he doesn't love his other siblings! Even though he does try to dole out as much of himself as possible, he never seems exhausted by it. He truly loves his job among the Rookery riders.

Resides with Helios at the Mansion, he rests in the main guard tower there, which has been now nicknamed the Light House.

Dragon

Features: Leafwing and Rainwing hybrid, primarily leafwing with very minor Rain features (color, neck frill)
Powers: Winged Flight, Helios is true to his name and is a bold, bright flier. He takes to the sky with the confidence of a Skywing, actually, and keeps up with them with ease. Though he is not strong enough to carry a lot of weight, he can lift at least 4 human-sized creatures on his back, or a small car with his claws, and carry them without trouble. He isn't speedy either, but he is fast for short bursts, relying more on overall endurance rather than speed. His maneuverability is notorious, he can fly circles around those same Skywings after all, he's smaller than they are and lighter weight, so he can balance on trees and rooftops with ease, where they'd just... y'know, crash into them. He's been known to narrowly avoid smashing into things mid-flight, just dodging right out of the way with the style of a bull-fighter. He does taunt flying creatures, as well as those on the ground, mostly because they will follow him and not his rider while Apollo is dealing with refugees getting out of Combine cages. Helios can shoot into the sky almost comedically fast, and has physically caught flares before they explode if they're shot to bring new Combine forces on site...
Communication, Helios is Vortally connected to his rider, unlike many of his breed. Whether this is because he was born on the Rookery world or just they're that close no one knows. But he can sense from Apollo the needs of those around them, and acts accordingly. Otherwise he doesn't have any further Vortal power, he speaks in clear English, knows a decent amount of Vort but doesn't tend to speak it because he knows there's more context he misses. While he can speak some Draconic, he's let that skill drop a bit in favor of being able to learn more Human words in other languages. He likes poetry and song, and has a good voice, if they do take anything on the road, it'll be to New Vegas where he and Big Momma can do duets!
*Color Shifting, though he remains mostly yellow and always as bright, his wingsails can effectively become so brilliantly reflective, that he uses this to blind enemies in the day time. He can send messages, learning how to use morse code, but again only during the day, as this doesn't really work with anything but sunlight. He can use his smaller neck frill and back fins as well for this purpose, and can distract enemies with a scintillating flash by moving them around, he's actually emulated distant muzzle flashes making them think there is a fight somewhere.
Light Magic(?), though not a true power, up close Helios knows just how to use light and reflections, folding his wing sails or using his tail fin to bounce bright light, it may even work with lasers if they're visible light. This only works within about 100 meters, so it's not of use for communication purposes. He doesn't seem to take damage from energy weapons. He seems to give off a very slight warm yellow glow at all times, and can be relied upon to be a light in the dark for people following him.
Photosynthesis, of course as a primary Leafwing he's able to soak up the sun's energy and not eat food for quite a while. He stores a lot of energy this way, and has only been known to eat about once a month at most, and even then usually just fish or smaller prey. It's the equivalent of a human subsiding on nothing more than warmth and a bag of chips for a month at a time...
Powerful Bite, the last vestage of Rainwing in him is his bite, as it's got a very strong and potent venom. He doesn't produce a lot of it, and must save it up in order to deliver a bite with it. It can kill a large creature, dragon-sized of his own build at biggest, and obviously would be absolutely devistating to smaller life forms. This is a last-ditch effort, if needed, to protect those under his care. He has killed a Strider with one bite, this venom is extremely fast acting, and paralyzes almost instantly, as well as being extremely painful - for a very short time. Nothing lives long enough to really draw a long breath to scream. The venom takes around a month to recharge, and he only has one chance with it, if he lets the venom out, it goes - no take backs and no pulling punches.

Other Info: Helios takes his work with his human partner quite seriously, he's slightly more on the practical side than openly gregarious. That said, he really enjoys their down time, and will be found bouncing up and down over the Mansion and grounds, playing hide and seek with dragons and humans alike.
