BMDR - Naylor Horne

Name: Naylor Horne

Gender: Female, she/her, straight

Age/DOB: 16, born summer 2263

Origin: Vault Earth, Primm near New Vegas

Family: deceased thanks to the Powder Gangers

Other: Currently residing in and working at the Vicky and Vance saloon in Primm

Height: 5'7"

Weight: averge build, toned from 'workouts' and somewhat muscular

Hair: hay blonde, curled at the ends but quite thick so it falls straight until the ends; to low back

Eyes: bright green, quite large and a bit haunted, under thin and usually surprised looking brows

Appearance: medium to light skin tone with a lot of small scars from a decade of life with the Powder Gangers, including a few obvious bullet holes and punctures, as well as burn marks and a few animal bites, most are on her back in the form of lash marks, all may heal up while she has access to better health care; she is, beyond the few visible scars, incredibly pretty and was very desirable among the gang members, by the way the one that caused her newest and only facial scar was bricked to death by his companions for 'ruining the perfect pretty girl'; she has come to appreciate the presence of nicely tailored clothing and enjoys the outfit shown most, as it is functional and comfortable; even with the scars she still prefers sleeveless shirts; she has a more meek voice, due to being told to be silent for years, which eventually she may learn how to raise, particularly if there are customers in the place that need to be yelled at

Genetic Abilities: though she exhibits no overt Vortal or exotic abilities, she is very agile and remarkably healthy in addition to being pretty. There may also be something peculiar about her 'luck', things seem to just go right (not overall, but in specific moments) or she chooses the exact thing needed to lift spirits, the dice roll well for her, is this Vortal or just 'luck'?

Icarus Processing: none, though Melissa has expressed an interest in looking at her endurance and agility more closely

Skills or Profession: though she was used as a chew toy and eventually a prostitute by the Powder Gangers, she wants little to do with that these days if given the choice. She does enjoy serving people but in different ways - bringing them their food and drink for instance, making sure their rooms are clean, and the kitchen free of radroaches. She is young enough that she can still stand to learn a lot more and broaden her horizons, though truth be told she's not terribly smart, so her skills will probably remain in the physical realm rather than intellectual pursuits. She does enjoy her job at the saloon, and has it in her to make sure that everyone has a good time, her understanding of people is quite good, and she's charming enough that if she says 'no more for you' that's that - time for bed or to head home

Personality: Coming out of her shell, since her escape from the Powder Gangers at the prison they reside in, Naylor may continue to blossom as a person. She is however still quite jumpy and sometimes anxious when there are loud, drunk, or dangerous looking men around. That would be quite often, but she's making headway and her patron Eunice is more than willing to step in if there is trouble with any of those people in the bar. Generally speaking Naylor is genial and accepting, and takes orders as if her life depended on it, which of course it did for 10 years of her life...

Events or History: she had lived nearby in the foothills around Primm, with a small family of farmers. When the Powder Gangers got it into their head that this would be a good group to drag back to their prison home as slaves her life was shattered, and her parents killed. She had an older brother, who may still be alive, but also may have joined their group before being kicked out of the Mojave by Aretha. They did try to bring their 'goods' with them on the way out, but a swift intervention by a ghoul that had been on her way into the territory rescued her from a life with them. Eunice peppered them with acid and laser fire, and they got the idea quickly enough.

Together they headed to Primm where Aretha's scouts made sure they were set up. Nita still has a large share of the saloon but this pair of Ghoul and Girl are definitely making it into a viable club for the folks outside of the Strip proper.

Dragon

Name: Charissa

Size/Shoulder/Length: tiny, 3'4" long and with a strong 7' wingspan
Colors: Coal, a dusty black body with darker graphite shaded wing arms; wingsails mottled and patterned with darker and slightly lighter grey and black; 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 lump of coal gem
Powers: Flight, lighter than she seems thanks to her power over heat, Charissa loves to hover and fan flames with her significant wingspan. She is quite strong and durable in the air, and can help lift heavy items with her tail tightly curled around a handle
Telepathy, her mind is warm, gently so, but can become quite hot if she's agitated
Coal Magic, generates small flames easily, which she uses to light the lanterns and candles in the saloon; this keeps her bond warm and can gently light an area with a pleasant slightly-red glow
Parentage: unknown, unrelated to any in the Rookery/no lineage
Origin: Lantessama Gem dragon giveaway 2023
Other Info: Charissa likes helping and being involved, and can always get a smile out of Naylor even if there has been trouble in the saloon; this certainly differs from her breed's expectations, though she does have an allure that indicates the mysterious nature of Coal gems

Dragon

Name: Guerda
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: tiny, 3'8" long, with a 6'6" wingspan
Colors: Diamond, a soft shimmering white body with slightly darker wing arms; wingsails and armor are brilliantly mottled and shiny with white and pale grey patterns like a diamond's facets; 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; shiny diamond gem floating nearby
Powers: Flight, Guerda is aggressive and bold in the air, quite sure of where she needs to be at any time, and don't dare get in her way
Telepathy, her mind is hard, and sharp edged, like a perfectly cut diamond; she is usually all business and right to the point so there's no beaing around the bush or lying to her, she will know instantly
Diamond Magic, able to conjure brilliant balls of light and illuminate an area with a steady or sparkling pure white light; diamond gem dragons are often called star-gazers and she's no exception, however the stars she gazes at are on the casino stage and performing...
Parentage: unknown, unrelated to any in the Rookery/no lineage
Origin: Lantessama Gem dragon giveaway 2023
Other Info: Guerda is a no-holds-barred stage boss and though the casinos in Primm don't rival those on the New Vegas Strip, there are still a fair few performers who will book acts at the V&V casino, she keeps them under control if they're getting weird, and attention focused on them when they should be seen
