Name: Lynden Lewis

Gender: Female, she/they, prefers males

Age/DOB: 21, born summer 2258

Origin: Vault Earth, NCR territory north of Nevada

Family: unknown, likely traveling merchants still in the northern areas

Other: Currently serving as a courier and transportation guard between Novac in the Mojave Conglomerate and northern territories such as Klamath and Jacobstown

Height: 5'10"

Weight: strong and well muscled from a life on the road, 'doesn't skip leg day' to say the least; curvy, nicely padded, but you don't want to try arm wrestling her

Hair: darkly brown, heavy wool texture and kept in locks as shown, very long, and she's often donated a good portion of her hair when she gets it trimmed, to those Ghouls who want to put a wig on! Her hair grows quite fast, and she uses it as a cloak or shawl while traveling, preferring it to any armor or garments

Eyes: pale grey-blue, an odd color for an African descended woman, it's unclear whether this is a mutation or just how her family line tended to go; under heavy and high arched brows

Appearance: dark reddish brown skin with surprisingly no evidence of scarring or burns, even scuff marks. She is almost always smiling broadly, even when she's punching a raider in the face; broad nose and full lips, even her toenails seem nicely done. Dirt and sand seem to just never stick to her! She has a warm and full voice to go with this pretty picture, though she definitely knows some choice 'words' for people or events that she shouts at the top of her lungs just to get the point across

SPECIAL - Strength: 9 | Perception: 4 | Endurance: 6 | Charisma: 6 | Intelligence: 4 | Agility: 4 | Luck: 3

Icarus Processing: none, but Melissa dearly wants to get samples - as she is, Lynden doesn't need any boosts to her natural abilities, but she could easily help bolster others with splicing

Genetic Abilities: ("Camel of the Mojave" perk) If you didn't know it, you would say that this healthy and strong, pretty woman was fresh out of a fashion magazine or a Vault. But she was born on the road, learned to walk in stiff sandstorm winds as a toddler, climbed sheer cliff faces as a kid, and hefted her share long before anyone expected a teen to be hiking with 200 lbs of gear. And even as a youth, when water was hard to come by and sometimes quite tainted, she easily refused to drink and never once paused in their walking. Hardly ever dehydrated and able to withstand the endless barrage of weather conditions on the road, Lynden seems to be almost superhuman in that regard!

Skills or Profession: (Rapid Reload, Beautiful Beatdown) Though born on the road and tirelessly moving from one place to another, Lynden has a good grasp on how people work and who to contact when they are in towns or outposts. While she wouldn't consider herself really a 'people person', much more attuned to life alone or with the wildlife for company, she is still good enough at social interaction to be able to tell friend from foe. And when a foe is there, watch out. Up close and personal she prefers to just punch things - she is incredibly strong, and with that in mind she's honed her ability to find the weakest point on a person and hit it hard, repeatedly if need be, until that part stops moving. This has come in handy as she's grown into an adult, no one thinks that someone as curvy and seemingly-fancy as she is would turn them down... At close range on the road she uses an Auto Axe, found at one of the old logging sites along their route. And in ranged situations, given the time to spot an enemy or prey animal, she can use a rifle with adequate skill and quickly reload - quickly enough that she actually prefers to be the one reloading other people's weapons if they are in a heavy gunfight. They can keep shooting and swapping out their guns, and her fast hands deftly replace their ammunition in record time.

Overall she is a remarkably good person to have on a caravan: she takes everything in stride, long strides with those long legs. She will be able to explore or scout out locations and not only handle whatever is out there, she hardly needs supplies on the way.

Personality: she has a flippant personality, given how little things seem to bother her out in the wilderness. In a town or city environment she's a little more reserved but still apt to jump in to a fist fight if she can figure out who is needing help most. She wouldn't actively seek out said fight, but once she joins it's going to be over very quickly. Lynden does somewhat like the quiet outdoors; or the not so quiet outdoors, she thrills to sandstorms or blistering heat, proudly walking along ahead of a caravan full of bundled and scared travelers.

Events or History: she sometimes wonders whether she isn't actually a real superhero. After all, some of the traits found in the comic book characters she's read over the years really do seem to be reflected in her! She's proud, not arrogant, and 'uses her powers for good' rather than evil.

After finding and teaming up with these amazing off-world Gem Dragons, she's even more apt to go into dangerous unknown territory to scout, or protect her caravan with their magical aid.

Name: Riumi
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: tiny, 2'10" long with a 5' wingspan, on the smaller end of smol
Colors: Sandstone, a warm medium brown body with slightly darker nut-brown wing arms and armor; wingsails dramatically striated red and rust colored like the sandstone of her breed; horns and claws white
Features: Gem dragon, skin is like a snake or lizard, it has tiny scales that protect it from tears/injury when on uneven ground, floating slice of sandstone gem
Powers: Flight, best with stiff winds and unpredictable air currents, and blasting particles that might harm anyone else, Riumi is a very strong flier
Telepathy, quick thinker, with a lot going on in the background of her mental connection, just like a trickle of sand
Sandstone Magic, manipulate sand (blasts, whirlwinds) She does like to keep close to her friends, making sure that they are safe from the buffeting sandblasts she can make
Parentage: unknown, unrelated to any in the Rookery/no lineage
Origin: Lantessama Gem dragon giveaway 2023
Other Info: like most of her specific type, she honors truth and can cut to the bone of a problem quickly, like sandblasting away lies

Dragon

Name: Ottalo
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: tiny, 3'10" long, 7'2" wingspan, on the larger side
Colors: Jasper, highly shiny red-brown body with dark rust wing arms and armor; wingsails mottled in dark rust red and lighter shades of tan; horns and claws white
Features: Gem dragon, skin is like a snake or lizard, it has tiny scales that protect it from tears/injury when on uneven ground; polished jasper gem floating
Powers: Flight, Ottalo loves to glide quickly along cliffsides and so near the ground that you'd think he would crash, but he is remarkably adept at quickly changing direction and slipping around objects. For a small dragon his wing span is quite impressive and he gets up to speed almost immediately
Telepathy, he's the quiet type but can commune with animals and humanoids, other dragons, and whatever else is out there with equal ease
Jasper Magic, summon and communicate with animals - Ottalo is responsible now for keeping dangerous creatures at bay, or at least warning his bond and her caravan in time for them to prepare; he can summon smaller animals when they need to camp, with less need to send people out to hunt that's one less thing to worry about!
Parentage: unknown, unrelated to any in the Rookery/no lineage
Origin: Lantessama Gem dragon giveaway 2023
Other Info: Though quiet, he's friendly and kindly, but he will always appraise someone before allowing them to approach
