BMDR - Vince 'FIREWORKS'


Name: Vince "FIREWORKS" Chase Gender: Male, straight Age/DOB: 20? on arrival in RY 10 Origin: Aperturth, somewhere along the Carnie's trail Family: Had been unknown, but it turns out that he's Haley's long lost brother! Wow! What a surprise, they have fire powers! O__O Other: and also no surprise that without the structure of the Carnival, Vince absolutely became a hoodlum. Well that was also partially due to Aperture's experimentation on him when they 'found' him... Height: 5'6" - somewhat short so he has always tried to 'look big' Weight: 130, muscular and well toned, compact Hair: brilliantly red, almost unnaturally so, but it is not dyed; thick but wild, kept short Eyes: equally unnatural looking red but it's not known whether they were more or less brown before the RC, faintly yellow when powers are being used, wide and intense, almost unblinking; under brilliant red brows Appearance: fair skin with a good few scars from fires and escape attempts, always looks pretty girded and ready for action, or more accurately ready to run at the hint that something's gone wrong; actually kinda digs the Aperture branded orange and white look, it suits him. What isn't shown is that he is almost always surrounded by a heat haze at least, and outright burning halo of brilliant yellow-red fire when he's doing anything Vortal; has a fairly high and scratchy voice Icarus Processing: none, he was already predisposed to fire and pyrokinetics genetically, so when Aperture started experimenting on him, this is the result.

Genetic Abilities: Offensive power: Average Fire attacks---2x normal power level---This power is out of control, or barely under control > though he tries, most of the time if there's something flammable around him, it will go up into ash pretty quickly. He has a 'warm' aura around him at all times. Defensive Power: Average Fire defenses ---3x normal power level---This power is easily under control with concentration > that warmth can turn into a bonfire immolation right quick, oddly enough though his clothing doesn't catch fire ... any more. He doesn't take any amount of damage from fires any longer, those scars are from childhood. Transport Power: High Fire Riding (heat)---5x normal power level---This power is easily under control with concentration > he can manage to literally heat the air below him so much that he floats on it, rather than being a telekinetic power this is pure pyrokinesis at work, it's possible that he himself is actually turning into 'flesh flames', no one can get close enough to know for sure. Aperture didn't finish their testing before the Resonance Cascade, all they knew was that he was now too difficult to manage in a regular facility.
Skills or Profession: Here's his rap sheet from before Aperture got to him - Arson in the third degree Aggravated un-permitted use of indoor pyrotechnics in the first degree Unlawfully dealing with fireworks and dangerous fireworks Vince liked setting fires. Though he'd have preferred to use them constructively, entertaining people and being adored for his creative efforts (like his sister and their family in the carnival...) for a while he was apt to just be an arsonist for hire. He has a pretty decent grasp on structural and material composition, and can rattle off explosives and components like nobody's business.
Personality: He might have been happier in the carnival, but still a bit dangerous. But without the structure they could offer, and the backup of family, Vince is definitely a problem child. He's hardly a kid any more, but sometimes he acts like a teenager in his rebellious phase, that's never gone away.
Events or History: Weakness: Hunted (by individual, stalker) > Haley might want to find him, but he doesn't want to be part of a family that abandoned him... When the weird guy in a suit showed up at the bus crash site, he knew they were going to get to do something fun. Suits normally mean big time, right? Well this certainly qualifies. Dragons? VEGAS? Fuck yeah. He currently resides on the Nellis Airbase in the Mojave, because BOOMERS LIKE EXPLOSIONS.
Dragon Name: Bloodwyrm Gender: Male Size/Shoulder/Length: Large (girthy+wings) 10'6" s / 50' l / 120' ws Colors: chin, neck, belly, behind limbs and under tail medium creamy tan; face, neck, limbs, body, upper tail and parts of wing arms dark red with vibrantly blood-red markings; wing arms, shoulders/hips medium brown; wing armor and dorsal insets darker brown; face armor darker brown with blood red marks; wingsails grade from brownish red into extremely bold red tips, lighter underside and very dark dorsal, with tiny blood-speckle markings in brighter red everywhere, more easily visible on brown and dark red parts but present the entire ventral wingside; claws and all spines, horns dark crimson-brown, horns grade to tan; eyes red-brown Features: Mudwing Skywing hybrid, broad build with big legs and thick tail like a Mud, but those wings, and his obvious color and burny powers straight from Sky Powers: Winged Flight, he is a Skywing in the air, once he leaves the ground there's no stopping him. He all but leaves a trail of bloody fire behind him, as he flies, and this is not an exaggeration - he actually has tiny scales that flake off and become effectively 'chaff' in the air, that can be ignited. They look like blood droplets, before being burned. He does require both a lot of room and a bit of time to get up to speed taking off, he is quite heavy after all. But once in the air his speed is all but unmatched, and he can maneuver surprisingly well for a big dragon. Obviously he can lift massive things, holding on to the sides of a vehicle, or picking up part of a Vault wall or the like, to drag it along or drop it from heights. He can carry plenty of people, but... they'd need to be wearing that trademarked Aperture branded asbestos gear, because he does burn. Communication, of the Mojave dragons, this one does have an intimate Vortal bond with his human friend, as they share quite a bit of powers. However he can speak Draconic, English, and understands several chunks of cursing in a number of other languages thanks Vegas, thanks a lot. Fire Command, though not exactly a firescales dragon, even the slightest hint that he could turn into a flaming ball of flesh excites him, and he has no fear of matching flames with any opposing dragon. He uses his heat to soar for hours on those big wings, but mostly to burn shit. Lots of it. His flames can easily melt hardened steel and turn vulcanized rubber to lumpy clumps of ash. The range on his normal 'just spitting fire' breath is around 200 meters, in a beam-like tubed around 5 to 10 feet across depending on its focal point. He can narrow this into a foot-wide beam with precision over 500 meters, however, and for this reason he's often employed at Nellis to sharpshoot. He can also, as above, drop thousands of small scales from his wings and body, which at first are quite 'pretty' to see drifting downwards in a rain of blood color, but then either he or Vince will turn up the heat and they will pop into flames, these scales are around the size of a human fingernail, so they don't do much damage on their own but there are hundreds of them in any given human-sized space. Blood Is In His Name For A Reason, some Mudwings can heal with mud infused with magic, he can sort of do that, but ... more or less he can take living blood and turn it to fire. This is a rude awakening. If Aperture had ever encountered him they would have hired him to do experiments... Parentage: Unknown Mudwing mother and Skywing sire, unrelated to others, though he might try to horn in on any Skywing action for some burning babies... not like that, burning... scales... Origin: bought from SentraTheTeaNoodle, original by Crystallizedeclipse, modded by Lethe, base by Owibyx, WoF by Tui Sutherland Other Info: Notably if they are called back to the Rookery proper to fight, they do so with gusto. But for now, the Nellis base is ideally suited to this pair, and they can get in all the practice they want, on random raiders, NCR troops, and most particularly assholes from Ceasar's Legion.
