Name: Donald Fornier Gender: Male, hetero Age/DOB: 30, 1994ish Origin: Armacham-Aperture Genetic Facility, Repurposed Earth Family: Unknown donors, likely to have spliced siblings in the EC; daughter (natural, but suggested by Mel) with Kitty named Kallie, son named Dwight; son Angus with Melissa (not spliced), other spliced offspring by (and with) Melissa Other: Very often found with refugees and normals, as he physically blends in, but they know he's 'different' Height: 6'2, imposing Weight: 150, muscular but also seems much more burly, Icarus treatment reduces weight by nearly half Hair: Dark blond, loose and wavy, kept short as shown, has stubble but rarely a beard Eyes: dark blue, has laugh lines Appearance: pasty skinned and somewhat more burly than shown, Don is both muscular and seems like a softie. He's almost 'Santa Claus' in that regard, that while he's tall and big, he's only intimidating to those he wants to scare. Prefers orange and black for clothing. Genetic Abilities: Extremely strong invulnerability to any physical effects, chemicals, heat and acids. Can withstand basically being immersed in a pool of acid with no ill effects (except that it burns his clothes off, and if submerged, his hair), can ingest but not digest similar substances without harm. Nearly impervious skin, allows him to take bullets and shrapnel, flamethrower damage and even plasma fire. Has a minor empathic ability and can communicate telepathically with those listening in. Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 3, increased strength by at least 2x normal, and enhanced all invulnerabilities to the point of perfection. Decreased weight by half, but did not increase any other feature such as speed. |

Skills or Profession: Being tested to find his limit for taking damage, Don was obviously set to become a bodyguard. Groomed as such and given downloaded skill sets to improve his perception of areas and individuals, he got a workout in that regard, but only after the Events. Don is skilled with people, as much as he is with handling physical exploration. He enjoys jokes, small talk, and keeping people happy and occupied. He's able to take charge of a situation when there are no other 'leader' types around, and since he's as big as he is, he usually gets taken seriously - so he can say 'stay here, don't move' and people will do so while he wades through a pit of slime. | |
Personality: Amused at many things, big-hearted, generous, Don embodies the 'fun and tolerant uncle' figure, as much as his imposing form gives him an edge against enemies. Children hide behind him, but not from him. This may be an untapped Empathic power, but it's also just equally likely to be a personality trait. He is apt to crack jokes and use himself as a physical gag, losing his clothing to an acid pit makes nervous refugees laugh a bit so he's not afraid to do that. | |
Events or History: As one of the eldest of the Enrichment Center kids, Don was often looked to for guidance and stability by the younger ones, even at a very young age he could inspire a quiet confidence. That said, he's never been a leader so much as a group focal point. He knows his limits (none) physically, and as such often volunteered to do dangerous scouting work. After a while, GLADOS didn't bother instructing her turrets or rocket launchers to fire on him: she knew better, it was just a waste of ammo. He was directly involved with the invasion of the Coolant Pit and destroying GLADOS, part of a team going below her chamber. When the Combine was finished off, Don enjoyed a lot of time exploring and finding refugees and bringing them back to the EC or Black Mesa. As a Rookery rider, he does that only with a much wider range. |
