Name: Brandon Nobbs Gender: Male, Straight Age/DOB: ~16, aged, 2024 Origin: Repurposed Earth, Enrichment Center, Auburn Alabama Family: It's absolutely possible that Melissa mixed a couple of the PHEAR team up into the existing samples to produce Brandon here... Given that very orange hair, it looks like the computer whiz and trusted friend of the Pantheon, Jay, was among his donors. Eventually in RY5 he and Violet of the Color Guard hook up and she has their daughter Vima Other: With a number of other Pantheon, is a 'recreation' of one of the children that perished during the Events Height: 5'9" Weight: 140, medium build, more used to fine detail work than full body exercise Hair: Orange-red, quite the carrot top, keeps it cut very short, facial and body hair is also this shade Eyes: Light, clear blue, usually looks a little tired Appearance: absolutely a red-head with the freckles over creamy pale skin they're known for. 'one for every soul'. He does prefer scientific lab coats and the traditional Black Mesa Tie, he'd have fit right in at Aperture too with his bizarre powers and ideas. Icarus Processing: Yes, age 3, this didn't affect his physical build at all, but it made his Vortal power considerably stronger than it had been, particularly his range and sensing abilities |

Genetic Abilities: Typical psychic suite of empathy, telepathy, and Vortal aura sensing, however he can sense at a distance of over 10 miles with clarity, and communicate easily with strong minds at that distance. His empathy is much closer range, but he has a faintly controlling ability in addition to merely understanding what the mood is. However, his much stronger and more useful powers include telekinetics which he can physically sense through, he uses his fingertips as foci for this power, and when it looks like he's 'feeling the air', he is likely putting his powers somewhere they shouldn't be... The range on his manipulative TK is around 100 meters, but he can lift things considerably heavier than he could with just his muscles at close range. Because he's clearly Jay's kid, he has a sense of humor that lapses occasionaly into the bizarre and a little weird - he likes to 'animate' objects, but he can also set off alarms, trigger traps, turn lights on and off, poltergeist kind of things, at close range. He does not have to see the area to be able to do this, his power can effectively sense small items that he can work with within around 20 meters. With practice, he has been able to manipulate living things, including people, which they find to be bizarre but not painful. This is limited to 'making you hit yourself' or wave arms around, it's possible that with much more practice, or perhaps a couple shots of Antlion larval extract, he might 'make you cluck like a chicken' and do similar parlour tricks with even unwilling subjects. He... has practiced things like that on the vast array of lingering dead things in any given facility by the way. He's got a greater knowledge of the human body than you'd really want. Brandon cannot truly 'possess' a body - he merely jogs it around with his telekinetics. | |
Skills or Profession: With downloads standard to the era's kids, he understands the basics of survival and utilizing stealth, guns, and some amount of technology. However since Melissa didn't really know what sort of skill set he could use the most, they waited until he had a better grasp over his powers to add a decent bit of forensics, medical process, and particularly the technology behind medicine. He's adept with chemistry as well as pharmacology, but has yet to really use those skills, more in favor of the x-rays, ultrasound, and other imaging technology available. He has torn apart Combine scanners, and helped fix up detection and deflection chips for those out in the field, to avoid being scanned. Brandon is an all-around gadgeteer, not so completely focused on one type of device, but certainly given to concentrate on medicine for a while. | |
Personality: A bit more like a stage magician than a prankster - Brandon knows that he cannot mess with certain people or devices. He will take that seriously, but that's about it. Otherwise he wants to make people laugh, or be amazed, and he and Graciella make a surprisingly great team for performances. He does have a bit more of a darker side, that lab coat is actually serious business for him. He wants to understand the body, and particularly he wants to be able to reverse what the Combine can do to a body. He knows that's highly unlikely, but with enough work he figures at some point... maybe... Until then he'll settle for making Larry Moe and Curly skits out of wandering Armacham soldiers, and picking their technology apart when they run away. | |
Events or History: As he was aged only a small amount (appearing around 10, at the actual-age of 4) he still got to grow up around more kids than adults. As he was born shortly before Paxton's return, and in the Icarus treatment while the Combine Overworld was being torn apart, he has lived his entire real life outside the influence of the terrors that were the Combine. He considers himself lucky, in that regard. Currently residing at the Borealis, helping with their medical needs and researching the equipment. Also, poking fun at other Brand, who ought to know better than to think he's anything less than hilarious when people call out for one and get the other. |
