Name: Janice Perkins

Gender: Female, Bisexual

Age/DOB: teens, artificially aged, 2030s

Origin: Rookery Earth, actually one of the first created by Melissa here

Family: Mother Aretha, father Matt, spliced due to Matt's genetic tags rendering him unable to have Icarus; Daughter Ursula with Umber of the Color Guard

Other: with how her mother acts around nearly anyone having kind of been inherited, Janice will probably wind up having kids on her own before Mel or anyone else realizes it... However, she needs to remember not to get busy with anyone before checking that they don't have an negative markers about Icarus processing. Mel insists that though she was able to work on it in the lab, any further reinforcement of those genes would be quite detrimental to the next generation.

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 125* Icarus lightened her overall weight, and gained strength, still pleasantly curvy but quite muscular

Hair: Black with very faint red overtones in bright sunlight, straightened (genetically) but still of the very thick wooly variety, and it doesn't go afro unless she really wants to get that do ...did

Eyes: Medium brown, glasses are more for show than anything but she will eventually need them for distance vision

Appearance: Medium to dark brown skin, flawless, with pert lips and a broad face, she looks much more delicate than she is thanks to the Icarus processing. She likes comfortable, casual clothing in layers, but appreciates the armor, heavy duty gear, and other such things like the Icarus under-suit, which she uses when needed. Janice wears a small bead made of Xenian crystal, which amplifies her aura a bit, and makes her 'easier to see' Vortally

Icarus Processing: Yes, gentically she was altered while being put together to be able to utilize the processing, and shortly after a surrogate gave birth to her, she was artificially aged. While in the aging machinery the Icarus was applied, and has had very strong physical effects, along with minor Vortal ones

Genetic Abilities: Extremely sturdy, resistant to most forms of elemental damge (such as fire, electricity, etc), and all but immune to disease and illness; she's about twice as strong as a normal Human, and can withstand most of the outside rigors of the wilderness - be it the desert in the Mojave where mom hangs out, or even deep under the sea... She can and does go outside the facility without a diving suit. Though she cannot breathe water and still requires an oxygen tank, and can't really see for shit outside in the extreme darkness, as long as she's got light and an air supply Janice can double check any exterior work quickly enough by just ... jumping into the dragon-entry nearby. She appears to be quite long-lived, and will definitely be among those who wander for centuries on different worlds (particularly once this one is safe, she'd love to visit her mother's birthplace! she might get the chance much sooner than expected, with the advent of the Mojave Conglomerate in RY8). In addition, she has a Vortally active sense of machinery and metals, though only a sense and no control over them. Her Vortal aura is a rich silvery-black shade, which means she's virtually indistinguishable from the black background of the Void, while also being 'strongly' present.
Skills or Profession: A bookworm more than either of her parents, but she likes to put all that reading to practical use. She had plentiful skill downloads so she knows all the basics of communication and movement, but since her father is a mechanic she's also gained a good amount of civil engineering, armorsmithy, vehicle creation and maintenance, and power work. Where her father generally spends time fixing up the airlocks and plumbing, Janice likes to work on the power supplies and making sure that everything is suitable for touching or being around: she can't be electrocuted ... so... if she feels a 'neat buzzing' when she touches a live wire, it's because it's not properly grounded, get that fixed right away! While she expresses interest in her mother's overt profession of 'being a leader', she prefers to apply that to group work, and getting things done. She doesn't micromanage, and would likely chastise some others working up in Black Mesa or in the Borealis for doing so - let people do their work in peace. Where she considers herself 'lacking' is in combat skills, she knows how to use armor and fix it, even create it, but stays away from actual weaponry or tactics. It's her hope that people won't need those skills within her lifetime.
Personality: Perky, friendly but distracted by work. She's almost always busy, whether it be tightening loose screws, or reading about upkeep on insulated wiring below the city, Rapture is her home and she loves living there. She knows every inch of the currently-available locations, and will surely want to clear out and explore those that aren't yet open for business. Though she can be snippy if someone is doing things directly to interfere with her work, generally she'll let people be who they are, not jumping in where she doesn't know all the facts or feels that the argument will play out by itself. She doesn't gossip, and doesn't like listening in on people if they're loud enough to hear, often scooting away from such conversations.
Events or History: Janice has a special place among the second generation living on the Rookery world - she's only half-native, and feels that keenly, Vortally in fact. She was born out of a surrogate living in Black Mesa, and quickly enough put into the Icarus vats and machinery, and though she was not even two years old when her parents both got to actually hold her, she loves them both dearly - and separately. She knows that there's no attachment between them, emotionally, but they do make a good team, and she's never felt like they're at odds. She's never felt 'torn between' them, though Janice does try to impress them both in different ways. She's chosen to live in Rapture, which does seem like a bit of a disappointment to her mother Aretha, but if all things are equal, there will likely be other children with her same parents at some point, and she's positive that one of them will be Aretha's closer kin when she returns to her home Earth.

Dragon

Name: Leopard Shark, "Leo"
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-small 8'9" s / 50' l / 82' ws
Colors: underside mottled aqua greens, mixed toward dorsal side in darker and darker green, with speckling of tiny-tiny white spots; face, neck, back, wing arms, and tail all with large black rosette markings; wingsails and all fins and webbing a mottled light blue mixing with medium blue, and all having large (larger than body marks) rosette markings in medium blue; tail markings lighter blue but almost lost among the black and green; claws graphite, eyes yellow-green
Features: Leaf-Sea hybrid, Leaf dominant; four strong legs with 5 and 4 curved claws, with small webbing frills on backs; two leathery leaf-veined wings with 4 visible fingers, elbow strut, and short wrist thumb all with short curved claws; body is scaled with even armor on belly from neck to tail, having cell-like armor patches; back of neck down to tail larger armor; face is dished with strong nose beak, lure webbing on chin, external ears, and two elegant upturned long horns; on neck and back long tines with rough webbing, down tail individual stands of spines and fins, tail is tipped with rough webbing
Powers: Winged Flight, Undersea Movement; Leo is a good long-distance flier, in the air he can circle endlessly on updrafts, and lift reasonable amounts of weight for short distances. However under the water, he is remarkably fast and able to spring upon prey in the water with such speed that you can't really see him do it. He doesn't go for long distance swims, preferring to be in the air for that, but scooting around Rapture's perimeter is absolutely fine for him.
Underwater Adaptation, Leo does have gills behind his lower neck scales, and is thus able to remain under the water for as long as he likes without problems. It does take him a few moments to adjust to either air or water breathing, however, and tends to blow gigantic wet snot balloons out of both his nose and gills while doing so... It's as close to a breath weapon as he gets. He can remain in very cold water, or in extreme pressure, both of which are found in plentiful supply around Rapture. He does prefer warm waters, like his namesake, but there are vents and volcanic activity nearby.
Verbal communication, his deep voice seems to growl and echo, just like a leopard only ... deep under the water. He is good with Draconic and Aquatic tongues, claims to hear and understand distant whales, and Vortigese seems like a lullabye to him. He understands more English than he can easily speak, but it's obvious that he can keep up with technical speakers and daily chatter alike. Unlike his Seawing parentage, he cannot change or brighten any of his scales, even those markings on his tail.
Plant Sense, though most Leafwings are far more adept with this, Leo's ability to sense plants generally helps him navigate around in the dark, and little else. He can however, eat nearly any plant without gastric distress, and he tends to do so when there are excessive algae or seaweed growths around Rapture's windows. He'll just eat that away!
Parentage: Leafwing mother, Seawing sire, it's unlikely that he's related to anyone in the Rookery

Other Info: He also claims he enjoys that music that people play in Rapture, how he can hear it through all the walls, water, and other noises, no one knows.
