Name: Adam Floyd

Gender: Male, Straight

Age/DOB: ~18, aged, 2023

Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC

Family: Fraternal twin Helen, pretty clearly related to some others in the Pantheon but not directly enough to cross anyone off his 'to be mixed' list according to Melissa; later in RY12 at the Rookery he and Midell get paired up and Alanna and Miguel are their twin children

Other: Part of the Reborn group of children, recreated by Melissa and grown to teenagers before the Combine were defeated

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 155* Icarus lightens his frame and increases durability radically, he absolutely does not look this skinny, though he is tall and not musclebound in appearance

Hair: Black, wooly, kept in reasonably long cornrow/braids, often enough has woven things he's discovered into them such as bullets, little skulls, or old beads; also keeps a beard as shown

Eyes: Medium to dark brown, almond shaped, a bit frowny

Appearance: Dark brown skin with plentiful moles, handsome and dramatic looking most of the time, with a broad nose, thick lips, and a strong jaw line; he doesn't really need armor, and all of those holes in his shirt are actually bullet or shrapnel cuts that he's cleaned up, and no he will not tie his shoes shut up he's not gonna trip

Genetic Abilities: gifted with more physical traits than Vortal, Adam is upwards of 5 times stronger than any normal human, heals remarkably fast (4x) and can seemingly move faster than the eye can see (physically 6x faster than normal, manually 4x), this allows him to be a tremendous asset in combat situations; however he also has a minor, close-range telekinesis - not enough to lift anything heavier than, say, 2 pounds, but that's enough to steady his aim and even correct bullet paths, as well as bounce items away when they're heading too close; with his speed, he can dodge most incoming fire, but sometimes he does need a bit of a nudge to avoid multiple bullets, which seem to just 'bounce off' him at a distance around 1 foot away. This power isn't reliable but it does help him not get actually killed from a bullet to the brain. He cannot heal from that. He and his sister, like many direct siblings in the program, have a tight Vortal bond - but beyond that, he cannot send thoughts or detect Vortessence, though he can easily be seen and thought to, by anyone who can use those powers.

Icarus Processing: Yes, at the age of 3 he and his sister were given the treatments as well as aged a few years to suit their slightly older companions. This process tremendously improved his physical traits, and likely allows him to access that Vortal power, as it is reasonably dim
Skills or Profession: As is typical for aged and Icarus-treated children, Adam got skill downloads suitable for his Vortal and Genetic presets: he is gifted with guns and infiltration, tactics, and urban combat. Beyond that however, he has a good eye for details and can easily pick up on physical items while he's rushing around an area. Unerringly, he can then spot them again from a distance with a scope, or point it out on a map - that he's quite good at making, himself.
Personality: Though a touch on the gruff side, he enjoys life and exploring with his dragon and his friends; highly protective of his sister, though she doesn't need physical coddling, he prefers to scope out anyone that's trying to get close to her. Though she tolerates this, she's had to tell him to stop now and again.
Events or History:
Currently resides at Lane Mansion generally tending to security and sniping needs, looking to expand the area around for more refugees and food needs. Works from Dragon Tower 14, near the Coffee mountain when the Grounds are established, and though it's near the middle of the Grounds, his skills with his beloved gun allow him to maintain the perimeter as well as the hill of coffee around him.

Dragon

Name: Roast
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-large (broad and tall) 10'6" s / 44' l / 86' ws
Colors: Face, neck, belly and sides, limbs, and under tail blended buff cream and a touch of roasted caramel; armor has three distinct color schemes that blend together, in indigo, faded cool brown, and browns leeching into brighter tan; wingsails and dorsal fin indigo through a medium dusty brown gradient; tongue, horns, claws black; eyes green
Features: Sandwing standard
Powers: Winged Flight, Roast loves flying at dusk or dawn, and is a very easy dragon to ride. His gait in the air is silky smooth, though occasionally he goes a bit fast for Adam to properly see... He does require a good amount of space to take off and land, and there's no subtlty to either. He can carry quite a bit of weight, but prefers to hold objects such as transport carriers rather than hosting a bunch of people on his back.
Communication, Roast has a warm and rich voice, and has quite a bit of humor to his vocabulary. He can speak several kinds of Draconic, but also English and Vort words scattered in, and some other Human tongues just for spice. He doesn't just drop random words in, he does know their meanings before he uses them as puns or punctuation.
Heat Tolerance and FireBreath, Roast is a master at controlling his heat and flames, being a desert-born dragon he understands how important temperature maintenance is. Those chilly nights and blistering days? He's got them both covered. He can aim heat or fire, accurate up to 100 meters in a narrow beam, or around 30 meters in a cone, the latter of which is what he uses to do the bean roasting. He can simply walk through fire or remarkable heat, without issue, though he doesn't take icy winds or blizzards very well.
Venom Stinger, as Sandwings go his stinger is contains a rather weak venom. Obviously it can still kill something horse-sized with ease, but that's mainly the stab wound...
Parentage: Unknown Sandwings, may have a Nightwing in there somewhere for that wing color, but it would be quite a ways back; sired Prairie with Uriell's Buffet
Origin: Adopted from Moonshimmer981, lines by Luna-the-Nightwing, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland
Other Info: Roast lives up to the name. He's quite toasty warm, and this is especially popular on chilly Winter nights at the Grounds. Also, he is responsible for roasting the coffee beans that are harvested, so there's that. He enjoys the smell of them, but not the taste.
