Name: Doyle Tierney

Gender: Male, straight

Age/DOB: ~17, 2025, aged

Origin: Repurposed Earth AAEC

Family: Mother Dydell, father James; half sister Juanita

Other: As the son of an ELL, he is often looked at a bit weirdly by both normies and ELLs, but the Pantheon loves him.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 130* Icarus treatment lightened his weight though he is much more muscular than his father is, and looks it; he does have a very long body, and if left to his own devices tends toward 'skinny'

Hair: Strawberry blond, shaggy and fluffy, frizzes up in humidity, and if left long becomes rather curly so he keeps it reasonably short; has tried to grow facial hair and failed miserably, so he just ... doesn't.

Eyes: blue-green, even and kindly, under wide brows

Appearance: fair to creamy skin, with a dusting of pale blond hair here and there, usually with a broad smile and eager laugh; tends to wear Aperture branded white versions of the Icarus under garment, and adds his own found items to it; genial and quiet voice

Genetic Abilities: even though the ELLs are more mechanically inclined, he strongly inherited his mother's gentle empathic power adding to James' quite a bit. He is remarkably adept at sensing and linking nearby minds, not quite the way that Tina does, but more opening a "party line" so that everyone can hear consciously projected thoughts with greater ease. He can do this best with fewer than 10 people, at around 5 meters, but if he is well tuned to them, he can also hook together minds up to 500 meters distant with one another with him between them. He can telepathically communicate with anyone within a 1km sphere. His empathic power is subtle, able to sway groups that are already on the same emotional page, guiding them to be able to make a decision together, or flush out any untoward thoughts. He tends not to actually participate in those decisions - he merely enables them to be made more swiftly or with a stronger accord. When the Rookery is started, however, it's notable that his powers can extend to Vortal dragon minds in addition to humans or Vorts.

Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 3, since only James had had it done (and recently at that), so it boosted his physical strength and durability a bit, and seems to have accentuated his reception ability more than range or outright Vortal power.

Skills or Profession: He has a strong love of organization and consensus, and keeps records like nobody's business. Patterns and themes are easy for him to detect, both visually and conceptually. Because his powers do what they do, he's relied upon to be a sort of 'town crier', gathering folks when needed, and passing along information to those distantly if they cannot appear in person.

Personality: Quite nice, observant, not 'silent' but usually peaceful. He enjoys looking at the stars, sunrises, and piles of sleeping exhausted children alike. That said, he also likes participating in word games and research projects, hanging with the science nerds more than the rough and tumble types.
Events or History: Among the first of the ELLs children, though seen as a bit of an oddity and generally raised by James in the Pantheon-centric way. However, he was born shortly before the demise of the Combine, and because of his potential power, was aged a bit when he was having the Icarus treatments, and given the downloads appropriate to a social- based professional. Oddly though, he hasn't seemed to age much since then, remaining at 'late teen' for almost 10 years now and counting. He resides in the Rookery doing basically the same thing he had on Repurposed Earth: gathering forces. However, now he does it for the riders, because they need to be all on the same page before a big fight. He does not ride in combat situations, but he does keep a keen mind out for any injured or strays that need help. He does ride with the group out to a potential fight area, and like his dad before him in the Enrichment Center's invasion of GLADOS way back when: placed safely just outside of harm's way and let to monitor things from a distance.

Dragon

Name: Scattershot
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 8' s / 44' l / 85' and 40' ws
*Colors: Belly from chin to tail tip, behind limbs grade from vibrant blue to goldenrod with a large amount of greyish-green between; main body, neck, limbs, tail, wing arms same colors but slightly brighter, and bear stripe markings on neck, shoulders, rump, and tail in opposite grade; dorsal line and ridges bright yellow; feet have vibrant blue dotting/splash; limb and wing limb armor grade from brilliant yellow through hazy mauve-grey yellow on top; wingsails and neck webbing pale grey base with yellow grades toward body, main wings splashed with bright green and pale green spotting, silkwing marked has yellow and blue large spots as well; inset patches are usually medium green; eyes copper; claws deep blue with a couple yellow, horns yellow
Features: Rainwing Silkwing Hybrid, fairly even dominance physically with Silk antennae and dished face, but Rain neck frill, insane claws, upper wings, and prehensile tail, second set of wings and silk production otherwise
Powers: Winged Flight, Scattershot is truly agile in the air, and with his coloration almost always makes it look like he's been shot - so he can go stealthy and sneak back for the real strike. He's never actually been hit by bullets or lasers, though he has been narrowly missed by one of the antimatter pellets thrown out by a Combine. He can easily lift two or three human-sized objects, though with his aerial antics only Doyle is good to ride when he's out and about. He's not fast, but he is very, very sneaky and seems to know just exactly where the enemy is, where his friends are, and where to go if needed.
Communication, tight Vortal connection with Doyle, and as such he can listen in on other dragon minds via their riders. He's glad that he doesn't have to listen to all of that gossip and whatever, but will participate in jam sessions and flight arrangements with ease. He can speak Draconic with a quiet voice, and English when needed, preferring to remain quiet and 'spooky' unless he's really thrilled about something. He will chitter and cackle with the rest if something is really fun.
*Color Shifting, basically everything you see below is 'default value', and can change into virtually any other color ever known. He tends toward vibrant yellows and blues, greens, and stripey, spotty markings, but can pull off a brick wall or rubble-strewn asphalt if seen from above. This is all completely conscious, he doesn't lose emotional control.
Silk Production, though weaker than a full blooded Silkwing, Scatter can make a clever net of tough strands that can catch bullets or spare items in mid air, and uses this like a casting net to make sure that falling bodies or important goods are kept from landing too hard. He also can release this net at will, so he can deposit ammunition or that injured rider exactly where needed, be it in the waiting hands of a fighter, or the care of a medic. The fibers last only about 10 minutes, they just dissolve outright, but while they're around they can be made sticky or stiff, a rope shape, or a fine wire.

Other Info: He's much more aggressive and bold than his rider, though considerably more quiet about it than you'd think. He really does love being in the thick of things, and can be relied upon to get back to his human friend exhilirated and madly cackling about which tactics he got to use.
