Name: Bitta Wallace Gender: Female, bi Age/DOB: ~17, aged, 2022 Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC Family: unknown whether she is directly related to anyone currently in the Pantheon on creation; is flirtatious and enjoys attention particularly from Algae and Mauve of the Color Guard, having children with both, Aeris and Martinique Other: part of the Reborn project, however she is assembled from notes and DNA taken from an assortment of samples, as she had apparently not been fully created, or lost between facilities during the Events Height: 5'6" Weight: ~90* Icarus dramatically reduces her weight and though she's curvy and leggy you'd never be able to tell by lifting her; sleek and muscular but not tremendously stronger than normal Hair: charcoal black with brown overtones, wooly and kept in braids, to high back at longest Eyes: golden, orange-red tinted, had started out a light brown but there is a distinct metallic look to them as she grows older, large, heavy lids, under high expressive brows Appearance: dark tan skin with very few marks or scars; full lips, usually smiling, dimples, and a strong chin and jaw line. She likes wearing work gear and coveralls, though she also chooses to put on Aperture branded white and orange clean room suits if needed. She has a very cheery face, and sounds chipper Icarus Processing: yes, while she was being created in the lab, and then when aged around 2.5 years old into a tween-aged girl. This processing reduced her weight strongly, and has given her joints durability so she can bend in very unusual ways and sustain no harm. She's not stronger nor faster than a normal person, but she can continue working physically for most of a day without tiring, and her manual dexterity is quite remarkable. She has very strong hearing, and can sense vibrations, temperature, moisture, and other airborn phenomena thanks to her Vortal power, she's able to hear whispers through walls, and conversational tones at over 400 meters; her sense of touch seems to work around 10 meters away from her at all times. Strongly increased Vortal abilities after aging process. |

Genetic Abilities: among the Reborn group, very few of her peers are able to manipulate water the way she does, though she works only with liquids and gasses rather than ice like some in the Pantheon. She can work with water or any other liquid that's of a similar or lighter density, as well as particulate matter that is spread in gaseous form, or drifting in the air. Very small dust and cell particles, grit, and importantly airborn biological matter, can be moved around, sensed, and maniulpulated. She is a walking clean room, and can purify both air and small bodies of water (around 50 gallons at a time) if the particles are small enough. She can clump things and they drop to be more easily filtered, and has developed clever methods of actually using these clumps as filters in larger projects, since once they're stuck together, they remain that way for good or until something stronger comes along to bust them up. (Turbulent water, such as the flush of a toilet, but not merely tapping on a barrel.) Bitta can effectively taste and smell through her Vortal powers, and she has learned how to discern specific chemicals to best sort out toxins from tasty food. Her sense of liquids is best at less than 20 meters, but if there's a body of water or other similar liquid within around 100 meters she knows its dimensions and location just by passing by. Her power to sense through gasses is a little haphazard even now, and she has had to learn how to ignore it during normal daily activities, because it works at over 200 meters with ease. Sensing through liquids works at up to 10 meters, while through gasses allow her to detect shapes and interruptions (such as walls, or electrical activity) around 100 meters away. Manipulating liquids must be done within around 5 meters at most, but she can work on gasses and particulates at 25 meters. Though she is less telepathically active than some, she does still have the ability to communicate up to 50 meters with other Vortal minds, and is easily detected by people who can do so. Her 'mental voice' is enjoyably like rippling water or soothing mist depending on what she's working on. | |
Skills or Profession: Identifying specific particles allows her to separate them into categories, and since she can do this at all, she's responsible for the purifiers and clean water of the Rookery facility. Her powers being so different from most in the Pantheon meant that there wasn't much for Melissa to go on for skill downloads, but she gave Bitta strong civil engineering, practical applications being more important than fancy flair. She has quite a bit of physics and math skill, almost as strong with such things as those treated with the Pythagoras serum. She has practiced navigational skills around both the Enrichment Center and Black Mesa, and this has served her very well in the Rookery. She currently resides in the North Aperture facility and helps with keeping the place clean and tidy, helping with purification duties and heading back between other facilities when needed. | |
Personality: happy and enjoyable to be around, Bitta likes small talk but not gossip - she hears so much thanks to her innate Vortal ability and she wouldn't dream of harming anyone with the information she gleans. How she managed to attract the attention of the extremely disparate pair of men she's had children with... no one knows but them. | |
