Name: Brand Magnusson

Gender: Male, Aro Bisexual

Age/DOB: 15ish / May 2027

Origin: Repurposed Earth, Enrichment Center, Fairport Alabama; Current location Borealis

Family: Spliced Melissa, Arne Magnusson, and Ross Overton* *Ross has been dead for like 15 years, but Mel has access to all the best genetics; 2/3 Sister Matilda

Other: Obviously has spliced siblings and cousins everywhere in the Pantheon

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 145, skinny and lean, gangly

Hair: Golden brown, wavy, much to Arne's chagrin it's long and usually tied back

Eyes: Pale blue-green, more grey blue than vibrant, squinty, often a bit unfocused

Appearance: Fair skinned with freckles, hardly ever gets sun, more nerdy than hipster though he'd absolutely be the type to put gauges in his ears if that was still a thing; dresses positively gay

Genetic Abilities: Highly resistant to physical damage mostly externally though he still can get sick or suffer internal damge from Vortal sources; takes absolutely no damage from heat, fire, or laser/plasma type energy; has minor, close range pyrokinetics that he typically uses to light his dorm and read in the dark; can keep himself warm, which is a pretty popular thing up at the Borealis

Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 3 he has been put through the Icarus process, and aged a few years (to appear around 12 when he's only 5); this process did increase his durability, though did little else for his powers

Skills or Profession: Along with the Icarus processing, Brand was given a lot of scientific skill downloads, which he's used to good effect particularly when researching things with his 'father' Arne. Magnusson is still a bit weirded out by the presence of these two 'children' of 'his'. They are good work partners, though, and Brand would far rather be researching than running around in the ruins. He is literate to a tremendous degree, and only reads science fiction in order to be inspired for things he might be able to invent or build. He's very talented with tinkering, and detail-oriented, so he can fix a pocket watch as well as a microwave oven without any fuss. (Yes, THAT microwave oven. YOU KNOW THE ONE.)
Personality: He's very, very much like Arne. He's not as stiff and stuffy, and even his practical side admits that he will be just as comfortable with a guy as a girl next to him at a drunken party. He does like to sneak off and enjoy bits of the booze that is sitting around, but he's stubborn enough to never admit that to anyone but his sister. He's a book worm, there is never a time you'd see him without at least some kind of reading material in his hands.
Events or History: Because he'd heard some strange rumors about the place, Brand is among the first of the Pantheon to want to head to this weird 'Borealis' in the Rookery's world. He has read up on it, and learned that the Repurposed world's version... impacted the Enrichment Center and is right there in that crater where Alma blew a hole through it all... Starting the Synchronicity Events. This other one sounds like it'd be much more pleasant to deal with, even if it's in the middle of the frozen waters around Norway. He does seem a little peeved that other Brandon joined them, but then that's the prankster redhead for you.

Dragon

Name: Tephra
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Small, 5'6" shoulder / 22' l / 33' ws
Colors: Body is dark black violet, with brighter violet here and there, paw digits are black, wings are yellow at shoulders with cloud-like markings in light silver-grey, fire markings in orange-yellow through red-orange, and black sail edges; tail fin is similarly black with red-through-orange flame markings; fire ridge is bright yellow through brilliant orange and burns more or less constantly, changing color with power use
Features: Though not shown easily, Tephra has four legs and two wings, all feet have paw-like digits with sharp claws; skin is thick hide with rhino-like wrinkles, not scales; two leathery wings with 4 internal fingers, no wrist thumb, heavy curved claws; tail ends in large vertical fin; from head to mid-tail has a burning stripe of magical fire; head is snub-nosed with a broad mouth, and external ears
Powers: Winged Flight, Tephra is a very strong flier thanks to his wind and air magic, he can remain aloft in nearly any condition, though freezing rain isn't his favorite thing (and where has he wound up, but in a place where freezing rain is common?!), he produces lift with Vortal energy and doesn't really have to flap to remain aloft. He does not normally carry Brand, but they've been known to soar together over the local abandoned towns and ruins looking for items to scavenge.
Magical / Vortal element control, able to manipulate both air and fire, air being more for defense and transport, while fire and heat geared toward aggressive attacks and displays. The fire burning along his spine can become superheated, very bright, and then effectively 'cast off' with a burst of wind from magic and his wings, enveloping an enemy or prey with blistering air and blinding light. He can manipulate items using air pressure, though they tend to be whisked away if he's not paying attention or they're small. Also using his air command, he can create loud booms and waves of pressure that can knock things over. His fire powers allow him to remain quite toasty - his normal preference - and sometimes he does set things on fire by accident. Brand usually takes care of that, extinguishing things or somehow synergizing with him to create a barrier around things that need to be kept safe.
Verbal and Vortal Communication, he can speak in English, some strange Draconic tongue, and in Vortal Flux Shifting with telepathic individuals. Vorts consider him to be quite appealing, at the same time as rather dangerous. He doesn't care much for Human items and terms, but is interested in these other dragons' magic and worlds where spells or casting exist. He considers his own power to be 'magical', not 'vortal', but whatever its name is, he has it in abundance.

Other Info: Tephra refers to his lava-hot fire, it's a name he is quite happy to live up to. Why he chose to get close to Brand, who then decided to up and move to the frozen north, he doesn't even know. Maybe they have things in common beyond their fire ability. He does enjoy the feeling that he gets when Brand uses his powers nearby.
