Name: Vance Fettel

Gender: Male, Straight

Age/DOB: ~18, 2026(?)

Origin: Repurposed Earth, BMRC

Family: Mother Alyx Vance, father Geoff Fettel, Grandfathers Eli Vance and Wilson Carver, Other Grandfatherish Keenan Lane, also related to others via Alma Wade's genes, including Paxton and Lynne

Other: Tends to remain around the normal people, rather than the Pantheon, though he is absolutely 'one of them'

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 165* Icarus treatment, he's very muscular and strongly built but doesn't really look it

Hair: Black with a faintly brown tint in bright sunlight, kept short, quite wavy though not kinked, thick

Eyes: Hazel green, quite like his mother's

Appearance: tan skin with a good speckling of moles and freckles, as well as a decent amount of body and limb hair; keeps a nicely trimmed beard as shown, and generally wears rescued motorcycle leathers, denim jeans and jackets, and the like

Genetic Abilities: Extraordinarily strong and durable, easily matches his father in feats of strength (so around 5x stronger than normal), and heals almost 3x as quickly as a typical person. Also has remarkable dexterity and flexibility given his strength, though he's too big to fit through the same places as his mother Alyx he certainly tries. He has very little Vortal power, however he can strongly sense and 'ping' any relatives of his - including the entire Vahh clan - by thinking hard.

Icarus Processing: Yes, at the age of 3. Since Geoff's inherited to him, but Alyx never was treated, only specific genes were passed to be enhanced. This did clearly lighten his build and strengthen his joints, made him slightly faster than normal but not really on the Pantheon's chart. Whether his Vortal and mental abilities are enhanced with this is hard to say, as they're subtle at best. He has, on the other hand, also received the Pythagoras treatments, to an incredibly good effect - enhancing his intelligence even beyond Alyx's expectations, and allowing him to master skills and information much more quickly than most.

Skills or Profession: though he did not have any skill downloads at the time of his Icarus treatments, basically every time he went for a Pythagoras 'treat' he would take out another book and read it cover to cover, sipping tea laced with strong chemicals. Like his grandfather Eli, he prefers tea to coffee perhaps for this reason... His skill to simply glance at information and process it is legendary, and it includes code, chicken-scratch medical notes, half-buried or burned paperwork, and non-English texts. He can decode almost any number-based secret code in moments, and learns languages like nobody's business - even Lane is impressed with his ability to understand words in a variety of languages. He can't properly speak them all without training and repetition, however he does know English, Vort, Korean, Spanish, French, and a lot of Latin due to medical books being among those he'd picked up early on. He isn't so keen on learning more medicine, but definitely helps with chemistry and science projects around the Rookery as well as his old home on Repurposed Earth. He's a very brawny brain, rather than a nerdy jock. He works with the same computers and technology that his mother does, but also can help transport big banks of electronics or equipment to where she needs it without having to call dad over.
Personality: Observant and kind hearted, but a bit guarded. He has always had these weird dreams - where his grandfather perished violently, where his uncle is positively evil, where he didn't exist at all because his 'dad' was someone else... Lane expresses great interest in these dreams, knowing full well they're not just fantasy - they exist out there in other dimensions, so Vance writes them down in great detail and leaves them for Lane to read later. He doesn't much care for talking about them specifically, but will certainly talk shop with scientists.

Events or History: Vance was born very shortly before the end of the Combine era on his home world, and as such was always unclear on the whole 'level' of danger they'd posed. Not that he didn't believe any of the stories everyone told - obviously those stories were all true, given the horrible ruins around everything he ever saw. Of all the people that he'd ever liked to meet, however, his grandmother Azian is one - and... Lane gave him that, the few hours that the Vortigaunts could arrange it, her lih would grace Eli and Alyx, and now Vance, every few years before she ebbed away to become part of the All In One with the Vorts. The only time he met her, was the last time she'd been around, and he was a teenager. This profoundly affected him, he knew that his skills would be needed and his mind and body were going to have to work overtime to make the world one that his own descendants would love to live in.

Currently resides at the Bayou Vance home, actually in the main bedroom because he is actually a Vance Vance.

Dragon

Name: Violet
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium (bulky) 9'6" s, 41' l, 90' ws
Colors: Belly from chin to tail tip buff beige, framing scales on neck, limbs and tail yellowish beige, further sides, face, limbs and wing armor light tan; face, back, wing arms, and back of tail strong and even burgundy (hence the name violet, as it is very similar to a violet's color); wingsails pale buff beige; all trim, dots, claws, back spikes, and horns pale silver; eyes bright green
Features: Mudwing Nightwing hybrid, strong Mud dominance; head is roughly Nightwing, tail has Night armor instead of Mudwing's
Powers: Winged Flight, Violet is strong for bursts in the air, but not durable because of her weight and bulk. She usually prefers to run or burrow through the soft muddy soil around the Bayou home, and cover herself using those wings; she can certainly fly, and lift a great amount of weight in the process, but can't do that more than a few miles, or around 15 minutes before needing to rest.
Communication, with many Nightwings, even those hybridized, comes a certain amount of psychic ability, and Violet is no exception. She is quiet most of the time, preferring to telepathically send her thoughts, rather than bellowing. Her mind is comfortable, smooth and deep, like a warm mudbath, or as some have put it: like a chocolate fondue. She likes this comparison, mostly because that chocolate stuff tastes wonderful according to the humans around. She can understand and speak Draconic of several dialects, speaks English fairly well, and can comprehend Vortigese since she can listen in on their Flux Shifting conversations. Her range to sense and communicate with Vance is quite long - probably aided by his own unusual background genes, over 500 miles.
Heat Breath, though Nightwings commonly have a strong flame, and Mudwings are known to fire up as well, Violet's is fairly weak, preferring to use other abilities rather than attacks. She can heat up metals or stone, however, and this is no mean feat. It's just not a big burning flame, instead it's a clearly visible distortion that's superheating the air and substances in its path.
Healing, because she's mostly Mudwing with that little boost of 'magic' from Nightwing daddy, Violet actually has a strong 'mud heal' power. She uses this mostly on dragons, though she must actually have plentiful mud to do anything with. She will gather up a large amount - about the size of a VW bug, and insert her forelimbs, even her face sometimes, and just... warm it with that inner power. Once it's ready, she will spread it out and the injured dragon brought in, and she'll smooth it around any injuries or just overall. There's talk of having a 'mud bath' installed between the Bayou and the Rookery, along the Pecos river, since this is a very useful power that only a few Rookery dragons show. If she kept a mud pit going, dragons could simply show up and immerse themselves, and leave healed without her having to go through all the processing. The one over at the Mansion grounds is inspirational to her, and she thinks her human friend should convince his 'granddad Lane' to move more Xenian springs under that part of their water way here at the Bayou!

Other Info: very much the mom-healer type, she is the essence of comfort; she's the sensible type who wants to make sure all the kids have their mittens and caps before going out into the snow, and makes sure they wipe their feet and blow their noses when they come in.
