Name: Dr Benjamin Rosenberg

Gender: Male, Straight

Age/DOB: ~48@events / 1958

Origin: Repurposed Earth, New Hampshire

Family: none known, should likely be tapped by Melissa for some splicing, but he has not given permission yet **Around RY6 he relents and is spliced up with one of the Color Guard, Amethyst, and their daughter is Ramona

Other: Aside from Eli, Rosenberg is the senior staff member at Lambda and the scientists at Black Mesa generally defer to him for most decision making

Height: 6'0

Weight: 155, even and toned, not frumpy, but a bit on the tired side since the Events

Hair: Medium brown, slightly greying, a bit balding but won't recede much farther than shown, kept short but has been as the center picture implies, a nice cut

Eyes: Brown, smallish and somewhat close set, requires reading glasses; perpetually amused or concerned eyebrow tilt

Appearance: fair skinned with a small amount of aging shown, but those laugh lines are from laughing. Wears a pleasantly kept short beard, and still likes a labcoat-and-tie arrangement for clothing

Genetic Abilities: None known, however he is almost preternaturally calm in the face of disasters, so he might have a bit of empathic power, as well as his genius level problem solving.

Icarus Processing: none, is appropriate for it, but has not taken the time to decide whether to have it done; unknown what effect it might have

Skills or Profession: With extensive knowledge in addition to practical experience in his field, Rosenberg is an engineer and mechanic, scientist, and theoretical physicist. He can do extremely difficult calculations in his head, and seems to have a grasp on concepts long before doing research. Quite a few of his team members have commented that he seems to know how to fix something and will give them advice, before they've even asked about it. While he can repair most mechanical devices, he tends to remain with the more complex ones, fine circuitry, and dangerously large installation equipment. Also he has a working knowledge of the security systems on site at Black Mesa, computers in general, and most scientific lab equipment. He does know where all the security cameras and desks are, at least, and seems to be able to either avoid them or home in on them with ease. Also he ... seems to know where all the security closets are, and has been known to pop out of them to prank his fellow scientists...
Personality: Though some might think he's way more stuck up or stuffy because he's a scientist, well they might be right, but... then they might not understand that Ben has a rather ... unique sense of humor that comes out on occasion. He otherwise does seem a touch on the snooty 'uses big words' side, but he is a scientist and he does deal with incredibly complex work. He does enjoy that work, tremendously, but also will defend his right to do it as he wants to - vocally. Typically he's somewhat sedate and calm, but he has been known to get riled up or even quite angry.
Is that picture on the right angry? or silly? Only he knows...
 

Dragon

Name: Jasmine
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-small 10'5" shoulder / 50' l / 88' ws
Colors: Softly cloudy mix of lilack, lavender, pale blue and cyan on most of body, with more purple shades on legs, pinkish white on belly scales, and cyan along head and sides/back, wingsails and all webbing are similar mix with pinkish fading through lilack and finally bright sky blue at wingtips, all dappled with white smears; claws are black, eyes are red-violet
Features: Leaf-Rainwing hybrid, four legs with 5 and 4 claws hind has heel-claw; scaled skin with plant-like cell shapes alon gsides and limbs, even scales along underside, and larger slightly heavier armor plating on back; leather wings are very leaf-like with four visible fingers, elbow strut, and wrist thumb, all having slender claws, sails are 'veined' like leaves; head has a hooked nose and prominent eyebrow ridges, two elegantly curved backswept horns, and external ears, also has webbed frill behind ears; along neck and upper body are webbed spines, which change to individual 'leaf' shapes to tail which ends in leaf shaped spade
Powers: Winged Flight, a delicate but accurate flier, Jasmine can maneuver in tight places quite easily, and evade almost any incoming attack. She prefers not to be on any battlefield, as she is more of a protector rather than a warrior - thus her flights are often short and designed to lift one or two humans or Vorts at best. She is able to fly quite steadily in still or warm air, but has trouble with stiff winds, or in less than clear air. Also she is able to move items that require stability with every ounce of care that a professional would.
Verbal and Visual Speech, Jasmine's Rainwing side allows her to somewhat control her coloration, though hers is limited to shades of the colors she already has: from pinkish lilac into a deep violet, from lavender into purple, and from cyan into a royal blue. The white markings on her wings remain white. She uses this to accent her carefully chosen words, and to give a little depth to her light, surprisingly quiet voice. She does have at least as good a vocabulary as her human friend, and that's saying a lot. She would absolutely go help him in the labs, if she could fit easily. She can fit into the Lambda area, and she doe often work with him there.
Photosynthesis, Jasmine is able to 'recharge' herself by laying her wings open to the sun, and at Black Mesa there's plenty of that. Because of this she is rather a picky eater, and rarely consumes more than a tiny portion before declaring herself 'full' - leaving the rest for the many other hungry dragons.
Venomous bite, though Rainwings might usually be able to spit at enemies or prey, hers is entirely within her teeth and jaw, and though she can certainly bite enemies, she has to be in absolute desperate need to do so. She can and has defend herself, and her Human, but thankfully very few Combine soldiers or Hunters come this close to the Mesa to get a taste of that nasty neurotoxin. It will absolutely kill anything Human sized, if it has a blood stream.
Parentage: Unknown, mother Leafwing, father Rainwing, possibly related to other similarly colored ones of those breeds at the Rookery

Other Info: Jasmine is a nerd, like her human. She ventures to ask other scientists to tell her about their experiments, and only after a few pointed questions do they get the idea that yes, she's seriously asking, and they should answer her straightforwardly. She's quite smart, perhaps among the most intelligent dragons in the Rookery? It's only fitting, since Benjamin Rosenberg is clearly among the smartest humans. She does also share his unusual sense of humor, and participates eagerly in pranks - as long as they're harmless and will cause no damage.
