Name: Laila Fettel (laa eiya, link to fire)

Gender: Female, straight

Age/DOB: 16, aged, 2030?

Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC

Family: Mother Melissa, father Paxton, siblings Kal, Darly; relatives plentiful

Other: Though born after most others in her line, Laila was the first conceived between Melissa and Paxton, and put into stasis the longest; Also note she has around 12 cloned bodies, they have baseline brain activity like Paxton's do, so she can dot around the Rookery in a variety of her 'shells' - though they remain inert when she's not using them*

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 120ish* Icarus lightens a lot, but she has plenty of curves to go around

Hair: Richly brown, almost black, with coppery highlights; very curly but not tightly so, and kept quite a bit longer than most, it grows very quickly, you can't see it but she does have a widows' peak hairline

Eyes: Darkish blue, large, under perfect thin eyebrows

Appearance: Fair skin with a light bunch of freckles in sunlight; very curvy and pleasant on the eyes, looks more delicate than she is by a long shot, holds herself 'dainty', but she's still model-tall and remarkably fit; prefers to wear an Aperture-branded Icarus suit, over which she puts accessories, other clothes, and belts for items and weapons; has a husky voice like her mother

Genetic Abilities: Melissa commented to Paxton when showing off this tiny little embryo she'd harvested, that she "takes after you", and Laila definitely does that. Her abilities are centered around pyrokinetics, teleportation, and scary shit, without being overtly Alma. Her fire is 'warm' more than 'hot', and can be quite pleasant... unless she wants something turned to ash, which it does instantly. She can direct this fire to immolate things at up to 100 meters away, though she prefers to be up close and personal for that. She has a very fine control over it, however, unlike some others. She can use a minor amount of telekinesis to lift and manipulate objects, though this isn't her strong point. She's more apt to use it to enhance a thrown object to distract an enemy, than anything else. She can teleport with a burst of ashy soot, generally short range up to 500 meters at most, though she can do this numerous times in succession. But what Melissa really meant about being like Pax, is that she has a strong crowd control and psychic suite of empathy, telepathy, dream-walking, and Vortal senses that are active up to 2 miles away. She can call to individuals, particularly among her bloodline, but anyone will hear it if she wants to talk. She can use a powerful mental stun, and her control over other people's bodies is impossible to resist even among strong members of the Vahh line. She can command only two or three Vortal individuals but up to 10 normal people or cloned drones. She can also do this to dragons, though tends not to out of respect.

Icarus Processing: Yes, age 2, when she was aged; this process tremendously strengthened her body and reflexes, she's much stronger than either of her parents at around 4x normal; she is durable but not as much as her brother or mother, mainly this durability comes in the form of an inexhaustable supply of Vortal energy; It lightened her bones and strengthened joints and muscles, so she's a 'tough' girl, but definitely takes after Paxton in most other ways.
Skills or Profession: Seeks and destroys enemies. Yup. Can also extract refugees and isolate human enemies, even Combine-tainted ones. Knows how to use Medusa technology as well as Icarus labs, not as a scientist but to make sure that her Shells, Pax's Replicas, and anyone else's cloned bodies are both safe and available for use. With the Rookery in need, and during most combat events she's involved with, she will activate one of her *Shells and ride both of her dragons into combat as needed. She has taken direct instruction from Paxton on this, though she lacks his 'hive mind' and feels like she's a bit limited because of that missing component. She will basically brute force those bodies into doing what she needs. Her Shells are more or less coded so that they 'know' what she knows, and act semi-independently during combat, but then return to a more inert state afterwards to shuffle back to their stasis pods.
Personality: Much more subtle than Paxton, and that's kind of saying a lot. While she is a pyrokinetic and is named for such action, she doesn't allow her emotions to control her powers - that's hardly suitable for a civilized person. She is quick witted and sensible in the field, if she's vastly outnumbered she will absolutely call to her brother and family to aid her. But equally: she'll be there for them if they ask. In bulk.
Events or History: Though stored for a very long time indeed, Laila enjoys being alive now. It's possible that she remembers being on hold, after all it was more than 20 years... More than this, though, other people who were stored and released also remember her. Anyone that was conceived and extracted, and then collected by Melissa up into her weird spooky storage room has a sort of bond with Laila that they cannot explain. Dar'sadza remains more on hand at the Rookery, with Warning Signs remaining at North Aperture. She has a dorm at each facility.

Dragon

Name: Dar'sadza Houtalli (Gift of Soot)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Smallish 6'8" s / 26' l / 30' ws plus multiple little ones
Colors: Yellow Tabby, yellow base, black mks, burning coal trim, red horns, blue eyes, black belly, burning coal wings
Features: Mammalian with draconic features, four legs with obvious hoof-hind, very long claws fore; cat, deer, dragon body with very long tail; multiple wings of fur, feather, and leather, prominent long wrist thumb with claw, secondary tiny feather wings along body and end of tail (2 pair); head is deer/dished, with 'tendril' mustache, external ears, antler-like horns, plenty of bling; under chin from head to belly scaled armor; dorsal, full neck, and tail tip curly fur; all of this fur burns
Powers: Winged Flight, though not a tremendously strong flier, is good for close quarters and urban work, stable in difficult conditions, really enjoys scooting around ruins and interiors, as he's one of the few dragons who can actively fly inside the Rookery halls and not just run or walk with tucked wings.
Verbal Speech, Psionics, Able to speak but hardly does so, and can telepathically speak with his bond only, though others with Vortal power can easily reach his mind if needed.
Fire Control, Light Control, though obviously burning, his strong control over light and heat is clear just by his colors. Any flame that his rider creates, he can manipulate up to 50 meters away. Creating a sheet of hot air to block a passageway, causing all the flammable items in a location to burst into open fire, from the size of a match head to a ten foot wide cube of nothing-but-elemental-fire, Soot is on it. He can illuminate areas, though this does wear him out a little more than just fires, as he has to concentrate on not burning things up in the process. All of his fire and light has a strong red tone to it.
Dream Control, Spirit Force, Order Control, All of these are hardly used, but he does peer into his bond's dreamscape when she's drifting around herself; other dragons with similar powers do seem attracted to him, so there are often ghostly creatures, collective dreams, and the like whenever he's around.
Limited Shifting (feline), can actually change into a brightly marked house-cat sized feline, though if you've ever seen him do this, he will eat you.
Water Majyck, ppfffff, who needs water, when you have fire?
Parentage: Vid'amalom Houten and Criao Chxalli, many siblings and relatives
Origin: Winter Gather 2009, not picked up or paged as far as I know originally given to Dragonfire; repaged
Other Info: He likes having friends, particularly ones as warm and pretty as Warning Signs...

Dragon

Name: Warning Signs
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 9'6" s / 52' l / 95' ws
Colors: body sides, limbs, neck, head mainly bright orange-yellow with visible scales, paler yellow on feet, faded to brilliant red-orange on wing fingers; neck, belly, under tail similar fade from yellow, yellow-orange, orange-yellow though not as vibrant as back; face, back of neck, dorsal, front of wing arms, and down tail extremely bright lemon yellow grading to yellow-orange; racer stripe from chin to tail tip vibrant red; back spines, horns, claws extremely red; wingsails mottled with lemon, yellow-orange, bright orange, orange-red at wrist, eyes blue
Features: Skywing through and through
Powers: Winged Flight, of course Warning dominates the skies above the North Aperture facility, and you'd better believe she can power dive, climb to insane heights, and remain aloft for who knows how long on her own warm updrafts; she's very fast, though not the fastest dragon in the Rookery. She is strong enough to hold up a truck or bus but not really to lift or carry it far, anything smaller she can fly with for a mile or two.
Communication, she speaks in a shrill voice, and can speak English and Draconic, she can sense but not actively communicate Vortally
Fire Fire Fire, yes, there is some fire involved. Her flames are incredibly hot, nearly white-hot, and will reduce any unprotected items to ash in moments if she flares up. Though she is not technically a Firescales dragon, if she breeds with others this strong they will certainly risk it. 'Risk'. She can breathe a swath of narrow flame up to 200 meters long, and burn for nearly 20 seconds as long as that takes to destroy everything in its path. She can produce a fan or cone, but only to a closer 50 meters. As above, she can soar for hours on end just using her own innate warmth to get the air moving beneath her large wings.
Parentage: Unknown, it's possible she has relatives among the Rookery dragons, though they aren't direct and she's probably looking at those others for potential mates... (She and Sanguine Ice, Hematite's one dragon, produce ** who is the mother of Flamegust)

Other Info: Though some might mistake her for a relative of Laser! and Bellows among others, she is not part of their immediate family. Stop asking.
