Name: Kenshin O'Malley

Gender: Male, straight

Age/DOB: 30/2250

Origin: Vault Earth / Pitt

Family: Deceased, had a wife and daughter near the Pitt, who were killed when he was taken there

Other: knows there are still some slaves in the Pitt that would love to exact revenge on their keepers, but also has been told of what's really going on there, so he's not sure he should encourage them

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 180, strong torso with good upper body muscularity

Hair: dark blond, fluffy, usually quite dirty, kept short but might go full mullet; has a very heavily stubbled jaw and chin but his beard is also blond

Eyes: light brown, deep set, peering

Appearance: light skinned, though with considerable pock marking on arms, hands, and back from working in the forges at the Pitt; doesn't mind the sun but he still prefers to be a little more covered up; has a gritty and deep voice, but usually a pleasant word or two for those around him

Genetic Abilities: none overt, but has a strong resistance to the effects of radiation and has claimed that he is 'immune to chems', no one has ever seen him shooting up though so who knows whether that's true. If it is, Melissa will want to gather samples

Icarus Processing: none, though Melissa claims it might give him - or his descendants should he choose to have any more - some useful effects

Skills or Profession: though he started his life as a farmer trying to guard his homestead, he wound up enslaved and used by the metal workers at the Pitt. Because of certain arrangements that were made by Aretha, and reinforced later by Dejanira there, people had the opportunity to leave after a few years and cycle out, so they didn't all just die of poisons or overwork. He learned much about how to work with metals and ores, but has little taste for it now, and wants to return to his roots. He does know how to use a shotgun, but prefers not to carry a weapon in the field any longer. Also, though this hasn't yet been noticed or tested, he is very good with children and pets.
Personality: Haunted, to a strong degree, but also he is not one to harp on the past or hang on to things too long. He knows the pain of losing a family, but then a lot of people everywhere know that. Though Kenshin is not 'unrelentingly pleasant', he definitely is a more cheerful sort than you'd expect to have come out of slavery and hard labor.

Events or History:

"Is... is that really your name?" Trinity asked, tilting her head and trying to not to smirk.

"Yeah, it is, I mean... it was a popular name when I was born? I knew two Kennys and one more Kent, I don't even know why that's a question." He didn't seem too put off about her asking, but she let the subject drop.

She was more interested in the 'O'Malley' part, but decided against continuing that part of the discussion at all. "I notice you brought tools along," she nodded toward the large canvas tote bag that he'd kept next to him.

"They're yours if you want 'em," he muttered. "I won't be using them. Forge tools. ...Stole 'em when we left, I didn't want them thinkin' they'd just take everything from me like that."

"Understood," she replied. "I believe we'll be needing them, might as well keep them in the shed in the meantime." She glanced over his shoulder at the oddly out of place Vault atrium beyond on the hill. There was a utility shed next to it, built out of whatever spare parts and siding that had been in the area not too long before the Lanes moved the Vault there.

"If you got a shower, I... might like to use it," he said, "though I understand if water's tight. It was never easy to find clean water around the Pitt."

"We do have, in fact," Trinity smiled, "hot and cold, purified, even for bathing. And a change of clothes, as well," she suggested. His current outfit was heavily worn from travel, but also there had never been much of it from the start it looked like. The collar had been removed when Deja brought a few out of there, but he still tended to reach up to his neck, discover that it was no longer on him, and then pretend to stroke his chin or scratch his ear. It might be years before he rid himself of that habit, it might be never.

He looked longingly at the sky, and pulled in a deep breath. "'s good to be out in the clear weather like this," he stood and they headed into the Vault proper. "I can't count the days I prayed for rain there."

"It wouldn't have been good rain, either way," Trinity commented quietly, and noted his nod.

"That's truth there." He cast around on the bottom floor of the place and spotted the restroom signs, he had probably seen such things in the ruins of the Pitt and its city, but hardly any of those facilities would have worked back there. "I'll get your clothing sorted, leave them in there," Trinity nodded at the lounge next to the showers. "If you need them fixed up or tailored... well, we'll have our girl Dora look them over."

Trinity would hardly recognize him after his shower and change, quite frankly the amount of dirt that came off of him was legendary... She resisted blurting out you're blond?

Dragon

Name: Rathriejith (wrath RYE jith)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: brown-sized 10' s
Colors: Speckled Opal-Storm, shimmering white with very dark brown visible underneath, opalescent colors and rainbow flecks everywhere but all quite pale; wingsails dark underneath mainly brown at shoulder and under fingers, and paler at tips, backs are same as body; eyes faceted blue; claws opal green
Features: more or less traditional Pernese, four legs with thumbs on forefeet and strong hind parts suitable for 'sitting' and holding items; head is boxy with large headknobs, spinal ridge soft from head to tail tip; tail split ended; two leathery 4 fingered wings with very long wrist thumb webbed, all clawed
Powers: Winged Flight, as sleek and slippery in the sky as he looks just at a glance, and he is 'a brown' in terms of endurance and skill where it counts. He's not the most flexible dragon, leaving the superswift acrobatics to others, but if you need something patrolled for a full day, or a big machine or pallet of building materials moved carefully, he is definitely your guy. Without those weights to slow him down, and with only Kenshin (he mockingly refers to his rider at times as 'E'nsh', but would never call him that officially) on his back, he can make it across the whole of the Commonwealth in moments
Teleportation, speaking of moments, he's also dramatically good with moving between, as many 'white based' dragons seem to be. He uses this for longer distance emergency work, and close-range organized attacks if needed. When the Brotherhood or some other faction or danger arises, he is definitely right there with any fighters, though probably not to lead an attack and more as support. He can coordinate very well though, and reliably is able to get his bearings quicker than most, so where he goes, others follow instinctively. Up to 100 miles at a jaunt, or back and forth from one colony to another, Rathriejith is effortlessly apt to bring along whatever gear, ground fighters, or emergency equipment needed on site. He is able to move back and forth beween odder places such as the Rookery proper, since it's connected to this area in the caverns below, but is a bit intimidated by the Xenian cavern that he must move through, as it is very large and a confusing space. He's not used to flying islands that have their own gravity wells and even some amount of satellites drifting around
Telepathy, Rathriejith is quite the talker, mentally speaking, and listens in on any given conversation both audible or telepathically nearby. Not a gossip, but he likes being well informed, and will pick up bits and pieces of technical discussions with curiosity. As he loves to learn new things, either from other dragons or from the people around them, he has a clear and solid mental map brought from actually studying local maps and layouts, via Kenshin's eyes. He knows that his rider is not inclined to be part of a 'fighting' force, like he should on a brown ranked dragon, but respects this, and only asks that his rider be with him on rescues and service work. He knows just how much Kenshin would prefer to farm and keep track of the kids in the area, than fight over it
Telekinesis, seemingly rare in many of his kind, but present and accounted for in his own line, Rathriejith is capable of boosting his air time, and balancing big weights using this power. It functions only close-range, and people who ride on his sleek back never seem to fall off even if they're not in a harness due to this power keeping them stuck into place
Assisted Firebreath, since he would require a bag of coal, firestone, or other such substance, and Kenshin is... less than eager to return to a fire stoking job, he will rely on others to fly into battle if needed. However when he does have a supply of it in his gullet his flame is sure, hot, and best for close range work - he will cruise quite low and leave a line of invading soldiers behind a wall of flame (he will still refuse to openly attack humans, but he's a touch on the confused side about the humanoids in the area). He prefers being tapped for duties like clearing those invasive Cazadors or other flying insect creatures out of hives that show up, and he likes eating their puff-crisped remains afterwards...
Parentage: Akiriath and Rialoth (also siblings / line shown link below)
Origin: Dray's Rainbow Glitz at Nidus Descendi
Other Info: Friendly, this dragon enjoys company and is pleasant to be around. He likes the curious children and the patient adults most. Always seeking to learn, he has quite a bit of knowledge that one might not expect out of a dragon, including engineering and creating devices, or mapping for expansions in the Commonwealth or even under it. Protective of everyone in his care, he considers all the dragons and people in the Wakefield Vault to be 'his' (okay, he can share them with the other dragons of course) but he will also take into account their enemies: why are they here? What do they need? Sometimes he's asked those questions of the people in charge, and they have had to ponder them too...
