Name: Rosalind Kim
Gender: Female
Age/DOB: ~15, RY5
Origin: Rookey Earth, BMDR facility
Family: Crimson and Teddie Kim parents, half-brother Alastor, has several engineered and natural half-siblings among the Pantheon as well as relatives aplenty among the 15 Color Guard girls
Other: Junior; Attending class of 2029 at Carramba High
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120* Icarus treatment lightened weight, strengthened build; she's long but curvy, and surprisingly flexible with those long-ass legs
Hair: naturally growing with deep red at the roots, and black tips, whenever it gets cut the tips almost seem to spread like ink - let's just say that Cybil Qeats is rather surprised to see a Blackbottom among these kids without even having to induct her into the weird hair cult; heavy, straight but slightly shaggy
Eyes: Strong red-brown, Asian epicanthal fold, usually likes to have darker lids (where she's finding the makeup... oh wait, her mom. nevermind.)
Appearance: Tanned skin without blemishes, full lips and a flat nose, prefers simple styles and comfortable shoes to any fashion-statements which seems to disappoint Crimson a touch
Icarus Processing: Yes, though whether she really needed it at age 3... probably not. Crimson is an engineered being, and Teddie is among the strongest of the Pantheon's telepaths, but perhaps because she's got such special parents, Rosalind tolerated the processing quite well. It also improved her durability and overall strength by about half again human normal, and likely the flexibility she shows during Gym class. |

Genetic Abilities: Strong Telepathy (invasive, dream, long-distance) All of the passive things that most people can do with their Vortal energy are quite easy for Rosalind. She likes listening in on dreams, when they're nice - she can alter them for people with effort but only if the sleeper is quite nearby (within 25 meters). Her telepathy works best at range, because her mind is, frankly, so strong that any closer than 50 meters is almost overwhelming for her or from her. Though her mind 'smells and tastes' like a delicious vanilla-cinnamon treat, having that treat sprayed at full force by a cannon nearby isn't all that pleasant. At long distances (over 20 miles) she still sounds 'loud', and at 50 she's able to have normal volume conversations mentally with any Vortal mind. At 100 miles, she requires there to be a Vortal presence, and can no longer contact non-Vortal minds, and at 200 miles she's best off using her other powers.
Strong Out of Body (very long distance full sensory) It's easy to mistake her Vortal lih for her, walking down a hallway, until she walks through a wall. At that point, you know she's on the move, with her body safely stored in a dorm, or under the careful eye of her dragon. This out of body motion can allow her to travel up to 500 miles with ease, quickly locating any Vortal minds as they show up in her own vision as brightly glowing stars. Also at that range, she finally starts to look 'like a ghost', and though she can still detect and listen in, she can no longer be 'seen or heard' at 1000 miles. Still that's... quite a long way. At that farthest distance, however, she does need a Vortal point to observe, or she'll just wander around aimlessly. She can - of particular note - detect Combine Advisors this way - they don't appear to her vision normally, but if she's out of her body, they do appear as inky 'disgusting worm blobs' in her mind's eye.
Extremely Strong Emotion Control+Sense, Rosalind's actually-strongest power is that of empathy, and emotion control. While it can only be done close-up, less than 50 meters from herself, she can affect the moods of everything in that sphere of influence. Vortal, normal, even any other sentient or almost-sentient creature that has 'moods' to affect - if she wants them happy, they're smiling. If she wants them calm, arguments stop outright. Notably however, she's never been the focal point of this power - as some children in the past may have caused riots when they're hungry or need to have their diapers changed, Rosalind's power grew strongly only after she was around 10 years old, and she fully understands how it affects people. |
Dragon
Name: Delight ("red skies at night, sailor's delight")
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium (bulky) 11'2" s / 50' l / 95' ws
Colors: Face, neck, body and under tail a crimson red fading toward side armor into brighter red; limbs including wing arms medium red quickly grading quite dark behind forelimbs and wing fingers black; head, neck, back, and back of tail armor darker red and black fades, contrasting with nearby colors dark-to-light or the opposite; limb armor and side spots brightest at vibrant red, armor fades to dark red and almost black on toes; wingsails fade from rich velvety black to dusky off-red at edges, dotted with tiny stars that move; horns, claws, spikes bright white, tongue black, eyes brilliant green
Features: Typical Nightwing except the coloration
Powers: Winged Flight, Delight can be said to be a 'heavy' flier, her wings are strong and that fore-body is massive, she can lift a massive amount, almost twice her own weight, but not travel very quickly in any way with or without weight. She is steady, but slow in the air, and not remarkably maneuverable. She clearly makes up for this with being damn near indestructable in the air or on the ground.
Night and Morning Early Darkness, in any sky that isn't brightly lit, centering on midnight but with dawn and dusk affected too, Delight is basically invisible in the air. The color that her red scales shows turns grey or black to visible-light detection, and the stars on her wings blur into what looks like fog. She flies very well in low-light or bad visibility, is unhindered by fog, rain, sleet, or snow, though dust and other weird air effects might give her trouble. She doesn't care to fly during the day, it leaves her quite visible.
Communication, As many Nightwings can, she is able to telepathically convey her thoughts to other strong minds, including that of her actually-bonded human partner Rosalind. She has a good grasp of English in addition to her own Draconic tongue, and claims that she can understand the calls of some animals that come out at night.
Firebreath, as most dragons of her world can, she produces flame breath, and hers is very strong and tends to linger. It's not so hot that it vaporizes things, rather it is a 'slow boil' sort of heat, that remains on or near the spots she's hit for hours on end. She can start patches of this long-burning flame to leave messages on the ground over several miles, to alert those in the air, or indicate directions or warnings to those on the ground. Also she can simply start a massive wildfire, which she does on occasion need to do when there are too many Combine in an area to deal with individually. Surrounding them with a long-burning fire keeps them in a single area, after all.
Parentage: Nightwing, though there may be a touch of Skywing in there what with those brilliant red colors; surprisingly not related - at least not that anyone can tell - to Hellfire or the other darker-red types. Offspring Meatboy with hive-ice Defrost

Other Info: Quiet in many ways, until you really get under her skin, and then those 'Delights' turn quite deadly. She's more wary than welcoming to some advances, but she's pretty clearly going to partner up with one of those other 'super red' Nightwings out there. Just wait and see. |
