Name: Manny Morales Gender: Male, Straight Age/DOB: ~32 / 1987? Origin: Repurposed Earth, Los Angeles California, PHEAR team Family: Unknown, likely has family that had been monitored by Armacham; notably once Melissa gets a better look at his genetics she does want to splice him up with some others with similar Vortal backgrounds; When they locate Santana of the Rookery dimension, Melissa has them spliced up, and their son is Sergio Other: A trusted PHEAR team member, and close to a number of the children in the Enrichment Center both before and after the Events Height: 5'10", and doesn't look that tall at all, he's quite broad Weight: 200, looks chonky but is pretty much all muscle, you do not want to fuck with him physically, even though he likes being at a distance he will mess you up in melee range Hair: Black, flat-topped military cut, prominent widows peak, also has a vandyke goatee trimmed well Eyes: Brown, small and lid-heavy Appearance: tan skinned with some amount of acne scars on face, moles, and freckling, is of Central American Indian descent with strong Spanish on one side; has an accent due to family speaking Spansish at home, and can curse in numerous languages with a flair for the exotic Genetic Abilities: While Manny shows no active or overt abilities, his overall Vortal baseline is quite high, high enough to have put him into the Harbinger / PHEAR training program. He seems to have a strong Vortal resistance to attack or sensing by Alma Wade, which means he's 'dark' on her Vortal radar - this could prove useful for other purposes* *Once his Icarus process was done, these abilities have sharpened, and though he cannot fully control it, he can now directly sense strong Vortal presences not just Alma (and can pinpoint her, when she is within around 50 miles!) |

Icarus Processing: Yes, at the age of 28 shortly after the Combine's arrival, Melissa and he talked it over and believed it would be for the best if he could actively contribute. He and several other PHEAR members are now more or less Pantheon, themselves. | |
Skills or Profession: having a background in weapons, vehicles, and logistics, Manny is the 'heavy weapons guy', bringing not only the big guns to a knife fight, but also knives, rifles, arrows (he likes spear guns, himself), mortars, siege weaponry, tanks, and... well you get the picture. If it does damage, protects from damage, or gets you into the fight, he knows how to deliver it. He can, in fact, hotwire a Combine gunship. | |
Personality: Super chill, absolutely stable in the face of complete insanity. Manny has a penchant for movie quotes and loud music, he and Mars often jam out to Snakefist and metal. He wants to make sure everyone gets home alive, but he's not above putting everyone in a bit of danger to get there. He loves cars, tanks, and video games, explosions, and stomping Combine face. He is the sort that could easily act out Holiday's Bunkers and Badasses games - and in fact, does exactly that on occasion just to prove one player's concept of a fight move is either correct or dead wrong... | |
Events or History: Once a member of a local LA gang, but as his high school scores weren't all that hot he took Armacham up on their offer to join their weird new pseudomilitary company. He wound up with a batch of lunatics and those Enrichment Center people (note that he thinks the EC kids are just great... the lunatics are in his platoon!). It wasn't too long after he completed training and went on two or three missions with the PHEAR team that the Synchronicity Events occurred, and he was put on guard duty near the EC. Eventually their group was called in again, and his respect for those little kids in that ruined facility skyrocketed. They trust him implictly, he knows right from wrong, and knows the value of distraction - he would tell scientists that were getting too close for comfort to just step right the fuck off, and no one would mess with him if he looked like he was going to start swinging. He's the farthest from a violent guy on a personal level, he keeps his military side clear from his sitting around bullshitting side, though he's not afraid to throw around terms and details if the stories start up. | |
