Name: Argent, clone of Silver Gender: Female, Straight Age/DOB: ~4, fully cloned in 203X Origin: Repurposed Earth, Medusa/Icarus, sent directly to Rookery Earth Family: Cloned from Silver, though she doesn't have offspring yet it's only a matter of time. She's got her eye on a couple menfolk... Eventually Melissa decides to just say screw it, and mixed her with Whilce Breen and ELL DNA, the result is Wrenell Other: They still don't have words for 'my Prime's kid' Tanner with Lane, she is known as Aunt Argent to him Height: 5'4" Weight: 100* Icarus treatments definitely allows for pleasant curves, but considerably lighter bones and strong muscles Hair: Snowy white, shiny like silver in the sun, silky and heavy, mostly straight but kept in braids or updos, and is rather long when down (to mid-back) Eyes: brightly hazel green, slightly lighter than her prime's, wide and slightly spooky with how little she blinks Appearance: fair skin with freckles in the sun, always smiling unless she's really angry, and even then she's still similing and you should run; she likes to wear combinations of Icarus outfits and slinky dresses, and adores fur trim just like she used to - just... now the fur is from some weird-ass arctic houndeye or something, she doesn't know and doesn't care. Icarus Processing: yes, as this was a cloned body it was done while formation was still in progress. This clearly lightened her frame and strengthened muscularity, ligaments, and increased flexibility by a large margin. She isn't much stronger than normal, but notably is more dexterous and agile than her prime, and is faster than a normal human in bursts for up to 3x speed. It has also modestly boosted her resistances to disease, injury (particularly bone breakage and internal organ strain), and healing capacity. She tolerates much more of a temperature range than normal, without needing protective gear for temperatures as low as -20F, and as high as 130F. Her senses have been improved to be around 2 to 3x more sensitive and discerning. It did affect whatever latent Vortal abilities she has, below. |

Genetic Abilities: With a moderate Vortal suite, empathic at close range (within 20 meters) she doesn't have a strong telepathy but can easily be spotted among normal people by those needing to communicate to her. She claims she can now 'see the invisible', and does seem to have a knack for spotting Mars, Lane, Wilson, and other such individuals when they're slinking around where they ought not to be. If pressed, her empathy can become control, as she's been known to stare down highly aggressive refugees and even Combine soldiers, and they will back down. She needs private recovery time after having to do so, but that's more because of her own emotional state, than loss of Vortal power. | |
Skills or Profession: With a specifically copied mind and memories, but added survival and domestic sets, Argent is just like her prime, only now she's fully accustomed to life in the ruins. Just because she's able to survive, however, doesn't mean she wants to be out there... Not all the time, anyway. She takes her duties at the Enclave and North Aperture to heart, primarily running logistics and communications with the other facilities. Checking up on people, making sure that everyone's been fed and has room for a shower and a nap before activities. She has a strong complement of Overwatch skills, tapping into the Combine's communication lines as well as using their own for the Rookery - and no, she never, ever mixes them up. She does seem to essentially serve as the human version of GLaDOS outside of the computer's reach and keeping her in fact at a bit of arm's length. | |
Personality: Far less of a control freak than you'd expect someone with as much overt influence on entire facilities. With the experience of managing operations at Black Mesa, as well as the Rookery itself, Hoyle's place is a welcome return to luxury for her. Even if it's surrounded by the Testing Shafts, she's on it. She likes seeing what the older facility had in it, categorizing the stuff and making sure anything that still works is where it needs to go. But beyond that, she's quite a lot like Silver as a younger woman. Energetic, sensible, and quite unashamed. | |
Events or History: this clone is the only one that Silver actually downloaded a copy of herself into, rather than moving from an old body into new. Technically speaking, they were both created at the same time, but this one was kept in fetal stasis for another half-decade before being trotted out, fully Icarus treated, and geared up specifically for the Rookery. RY 12 residing in Hoyle's Enclave and functioning as a logistics and organizational manager. She oversees daily operations, manages the ELLs and Vorts, and makes sure that anyone coming in from the other Shafts is properly attended to. She is definitely the 'upper management' admin that the place needed, and Caroline truly appreciates the effort that she's made to keep the place running even after all that's gone on here. They've often shared observations about how it should have been run... Now they have the chance. |
