Name: Shyell Gender: Female, bisexual Age/DOB: ~6@Synchronicity Events, unknown incept date Origin: Repurposed Earth AAEC ELL program Family: All the ELLs are her siblings, she has been used to produce one spliced offspring as well Other: though she's frequently seen flirting with darn near anyone, she's had two 'boyfriends' over the years, Leigh and Corey, with whom her child Trouble was spliced (yes, both of them) Height: 5'7" Weight: 135* given Icarus treatments did lighten her a little, made her more muscular; she is pleasantly curvy, but don't be deceived, those are definitely muscles in her abs and torso, shoulders, and biceps. She climbs a lot, in addition to leaping from catwalk to wall... Hair: Very dark brown, silky, reasonably long but almost always kept up in a bun or tail, so it's hard to say if anyone's ever seen her with it down Eyes: bright light blue, wide, quite pretty, under elegant looking eyebrows Appearance: fair to yellowish tan skin, plenty of little scrapes and scars from climbing around; she has an Aperture branded under-suit, and built-in long-fall compression in the boots, and enjoys putting those seamstress skills that others have to good use - she's had all her orange jumpsuits remade to be more stylish. Icarus Processing: Yes, when Melissa gave the shout out for any ELLs to volunteer, she did so right away. She wasn't quite sure what would come of it, but it did help her flexibility, durability, and recovery from any injuries. She hasn't broken a bone in years - it was a regular occurrance for most ELLs, and she's fallen a few times to what would absolutely be considered 'fatal' distance... |

Genetic Abilities: as with all ELLs she can sense her siblings with ease, and in proximity seems to act as one sort of hive-mind with motion and thought. Her specific Icarus treatment opened up a whole world of weird for her, though, because now she actually sticks to walls. Whether this is a skin feature or Vortal, even Mel's not really certain - she may have a form of specific telekinesis that allows her to gravitate toward a flat or nearly flat surface, anything which is about as wide as her two feet together (so around 8" at most) and simply not fall from it. She can do this with her hands, feet, legs and arms in general, her back, shoulders, and torso. She cannot stick her face to something and dangle from it... The Icarus process improved her overall health, she heals up to 2x faster than she had, which was already pretty strongly. Also she is able to squeeze through narrow areas with even more ease than other ELLs, though she complains that her tools are often left in a pile somewhere, sliding off her hips. Her aura presence is strangely pulsing, as if her power is attempting to find a surface every few seconds. She cannot actively communicate with any minds, but is easily found and telepathically addressed by anyone with the power. | |
Skills or Profession: As all ELLs she was provided with an overall education for reading, math, and the like, but since she was meant as an engineering and maintenance drone, Shyell's knowledge is quite good in the areas of metalurgy, engineering, tinkering, repairs of major machinery and large scale installations, as well as civil engineering for walls, structural supports, power supplies, electric work, and plumbing. She likes working on air conditioning and vents - she was among the few ELLs that helped shut down the Diversity Vents during the assault on GLADOS, and on call at the Mesa for similar duties fixing and getting their HVAC units functional. She has always loved being up high, and now that she can hang upside down without any fear of slipping, she's gotten into photography as an artistic venture - who would have thought that the view from behind a beam no one remembered was so amazing? | |
Personality: Alert, not quite 'chipper' but pretty close. Energetic, and determined to make a difference. When Armacham pulled completely out of the Enrichment Center, she was among the ELLs that flipped them off and cheered as they left. Allowed to have her own style and mannerisms at last, Shyell is anything but shy. She still takes orders seriously, but is well aware that she can now be a 'self starter', and does things on her own just to make sure that no one else has to worry about them. Once she notices a problem location, she'll tell someone she's off to fix it, and will keep in touch if needed, but she always comes back with a photo of 'before and after' to take pride in her work. | |
Events or History: Created in the very late 1990s, but aged of course to match her 'sisters', as a replacement for which ever ones had already perished in the Enrichment Center's depths. Though less social back then, when the Events occurred, she grew stronger in mind and body - without both Alma and later GLADOS to hound her every breath, she openly defied Armacham employees when they would order her to do something that went against Paxton and Geoff's wishes. She is absolutely loyal to them, and to the Pantheon, so when she had been offered the opportunity to basically join them as such, she did so. Helping put together the interior of the Mesa and make it a fit place to live, after dealing with the Enrichment Center itself, she then moved on to the Rookery when it too became a 'thing'. She was never going to be much of a mother to Trouble, so the child was raised by both dads. They seem super happy with this arrangement, themselves. Now that the Rookery is around, she and her dragon are working on the North Aperture facility's Testing Shafts. There is so much to do! |
