Name: Therese Driver Gender: Female, Straight Age/DOB: 35, unknown DOB; arrives to Rookery Earth RY9 Origin: Aperturth, Swedish immigrant, Austin Texas facility Family: Daughter Carina, Other daughter (or is it a clone? of which one?) Inge Driver Other: doesn't understand what all the hubub is about. people got powers, right? that's awsome, isn't it? Height: 5'8" Weight: 135, even build, can still wear the same jeans she wore in high school Hair: blond, will likely go silver, kinked and frizzes up in weather changes, kept pretty long for a scientist and in a tail usually Eyes: grey blue, a darker shade, a bit sleep deprived, under strongly blond eyebrows and tends to be surprised Appearance: fair skinned, very typical of Swedish heritage, freckles, a cute nose; speaks with a very slight accent, and usually doesn't wear her glasses even though she does need them for close up reading, and still has a bit of an accent so she's considered a bit 'exotic' Genetic Abilities: control over electricity in a close range (under 25 meters), within which she can produce painful electric jolts capable of killing a human (or a mantis-man), start up generators, fry electronics, and the like. She can also use this to focus down into a very powerful arc-welder like heat, so she can repair metal items with touch. She doesn't need any protective gear, and seems to be completely immune to all electric-based damage, including visual blindness from the bright sparks or arcs. Her powers are well controlled, though if she's standing in a pool of water ... don't stand in it with her when she's working. Icarus Processing: none needed, the Resonance Cascade of Aperturth did all it needed to... or did it? |

Skills or Profession: hired as a scientist but added as a consultant as well for genetic practice, Therese is quite smart and is all about electronics, circuits, civil electric projects, power, and generators. She makes sure that any given power supply is properly routed, though she does seem a bit lax on the OSHA violations... She will double check theories and work out the kinks in designs before putting any of it into practical testing, but still forgets to tell people to wear insulation. Extremely good with calculations and estimations of power use, as well as having a good grasp on metallurgy and conductivity. | |
Personality: cheerful and good at her job, enjoyable to be around, has a weird sense of humor that usually revolves around multilingual puns. Is reasonably patient when explaining things to newcomers, though she's not one to sit down in front of a classroom and teach beyond a couple lab exercises. | |
Events or History: Apparently, she had control over localized electricity for years before the Resonance Cascade. Didn't even hide it from her coworkers. Got added to the genetic donation bin pretty early on. She came directly from Sweden as a teenager, her own parents part of the bigger world-wide Aperture 'family', which may explain her pre-existing powers. Her 'daughters'... well one of them is actually her child that she conceived and gave birth to, the other is a clone, but no one - including either of the girls - is clear on whether Inga is cloned from the adult or the offspring. Though she's a reasonably good mom, she does sort of wander off a little too often for their taste. When Aperturth's portal storms started bringing people to Rookery Earth on their own, without Local Lane's interference, he kind of threw his hands up and would only give the heads-up to Keenan in case he needed to recruit. In this case, he absolutely did recruit them, this group she's part of is ideal for the Rookery. Therese resides in the Rookery itself, but has been tapped for excursions to the Borealis, North Aperture, and Rapture due to her extensive experience with power and electrical needs. |
