Name: Felix Gender: Male, Charmingly Bisexual Age/DOB: 6 @ arrival to Mansion, currently ~16 though he acts older Origin: Aperturth, born in Mansion Family: Mother Freedom, father Lore, half-sisters Godiva and Lyssa Other: Oh he's super charming. There's something about him that just 'clicks' with people, generally those he has any interest in getting to know better Height: 5'7" Weight: 135* Icarus treatments dropped his weight quite a bit, he is muscular and far stronger than he looks Hair: remarkably black, and though it looks fine, it's very heavy and takes styles well because of the texture; has a distinct widows peak, sideburns, and keeps his locks long because people love putting their fingers through it, and he loves it right back Eyes: shockingly amber colored, with a faint blue-grey ring, no one knows exactly how this happened, but by now Melissa knows that his eyes had been a strong brown at birth, this is definitely connected to physical mutations and Icarus effects. Under expressive and thin brows, he could look shifty if he was shifty, and who says he's not shifty? Appearance: richly brown skin with the potential for exceptional muscularity, he's still young and a bit... padded? He's not fat, that is muscle, but it's torso strength and good leg days all around. He has a dusting of black body hair that is more curly than expected, and so far those sideburns are about as much facial hair as he's going to grow. He loves looking sharp, and since he grew up in such a strange environment no one even bats an eye that it's fashion from over 200 years ago. Has a strong and deep voice, though it only recently dropped Icarus Processing: yes, at age 8 he and the others were gathered up and given both treatments and treats down in Rapture. His strongly improved his physical form, which became apparent shortly after puberty. He is around 3x stronger than normal, heals around 4x faster from all forms of injury or disease, and his skin, nose, and sense of taste are all remarkably refined. He's a bit faster than normal, around 2x, and more flexible than you'd expect from a guy of his build. Felix has an incredibly good sense of balance. |

Genetic Abilities: With the effects of Icarus mainly on his physical form, he has little in the way of Vortal power. However he does seem to take his mom's 'weird' and amplify it. Things happen around him. Unexplainable things, he has what can be called 'unearthly luck'. While his body can certainly repair itself from any dire injury, it's extremely rare that he actually gets hit by anything. Even sharp shooters have trouble putting holes in him. It's unclear whether this is his own reflexes at work, dodging and returning to his original location so fast as to not be seen, or a form of telekinetics altering the path of any bullets or items, but what is clear is that it is a Vortal power, and not just plain luck. Of note, both Lanes have taken an interest in this - though neither of them has ever claimed to understand how human genetics work, they do know how Vortessence works, and he's got it in spades, apparently. They (both) think that he's somehow shifting dimensions, or the object into another dimension, very briefly, to avoid being hit or seen. Yes, this applies to light. If he could somehow learn how to manipulate this 'luck', he might even be considered a 'genrehopper' like they are. One thing they do know though is to not allow him in the same area as a few others with faintly similar powers: such as Rex, Chet, or a few of the Color Guard. It's very possible that there would be... unforeseen consequences. | |
Skills or Profession: Because of his strength and durability he's often called upon to do heavy lifting, with precise needs. His balance and sensory keenness is essential for some construction and mechanical devices. He's on call at other locations but returns to the Mansion when he's done. Generally speaking he is happy to work with the big tools and generators, farming machines, and the like, because then he gets to take his sweaty shirt off and show off to the audience that invariably gathers when he does so. While he's no mechanic, he's much more than just muscle. In fact, with his dragon on hand, they serve as a scouting team and often are called on to openly disrupt Combine activity nearby. Mostly, by literally walking into the Combine fort, letting everyone waste bullets missing him, while others sneak around causing all the real damage to the enemy. He's got excellent sensory memory, he can pick up an object and tell whether it's been used recently - but more because he can feel grease, heat, and even single human skin cells on it. Because he was more or less 'the physical type' he was given adequate skill downloads for survival, weapon and device recognition, and pathing - but he's gone back to Rapture for further 'classes' on textiles and fashion, color theory, and the like - he wants to look good and feel good too in whatever he's wearing, why not help out the boys up in the mill? | |
Personality: Very, very charming. Princely even. But the good kind: he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings while he's going through lovers or work groups, after all. That's not the kind of luck he wants to trust dodging something a jealous lover tosses. Practiced with being in the center of attention, but not directing acts - he prefers a spotlight and focus because he knows there's more going on behind him and wants to make sure that all gets done right. There's no need for him to claim not to watch the man behind the curtain, because anyone watching him won't even bother thinking about it. | |
Events or History: born in the Mansion's safety, though still on Aperturth. As a very young child, it was clear there was something special about him, when he avoided not only being hit by stray knives as he toddled through a practice session, but snake bites, falling rocks, and even a lightning strike... That's not to say weird things were happening only to him - but that he simply avoided any harm and people noticed it straight away. With arrival to the Rookery world, this has become more obvious over time. It is possible that Local Lane would have brought just him to the Mansion, if things hadn't been the way they are. (He... wouldn't have wanted to try and care for a child, alone, after all.) But it is very likely that Lane(s) noticed him first among them. Currently lives up on the north side of the Grounds, at the Textile Mill itself, and when needed will portal out to Rapture or wherever. He greatly enjoys teleportation, he says it gives his senses a thrill that just doesn't occur any other way. |
