BMDR - Dewok


Name: Jon Dewok Gender: Male, straight Age/DOB: ~17, aged, 2022 Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC Auburn Alabama Family: Though spliced and remade from samples and notes, it's clear to Melissa that Jon has shared genes with Corey and Leigh, with similar telekinetic powers that seem to mesh well with others; he and Laura hook up shortly after the Rookery is established, their daughter is Janet Other: Yes, he grows into that beard, and yes, there are girls that go for that kinda thing Height: 6'0" Weight: 145* Icarus did lighten his weight a bit and strengthen his body, but he's basically bone and muscle Hair: Medium brown with a strong red tint, thick, kept short and under a baseball cap at pretty much all times, except when he's wearing a nicer hat; heavy eyebrows, and a thick beard that started growing in when he was quite young, he had a beard before his voice fully dropped... Eyes: Bright green, does require glasses for distance vision, but he likes them, he thinks they make him look 'mature' Appearance: Lightly tanned to ruddy skin, small scars from touching hot metal and crawling around in tunnels, air ducts, and rubble; tries to keep a clean cut appearance though honestly he does just look like a grease-free plumber. Actually he looks like a plumber in a porn movie. Genetic Abilities: Strong telekinetics with the ability to sense and manipulate magnetism, affecting metals and other things which can be magnetized; since he can sense through this power, it's possible for him to actually do intricate repairs on small items even without seeing them, for instance on the inside of a sealed machine. His abilities seem to work best when there are other telekinetics around: anything from having a particulate lifter creating a dust-free area, to a wind gust, even to teleportation - while he doesn't enhance anyone else's power, his function more smoothly when other tk's are using theirs. He can also effectively 'freeze in place' small items, people, animals, and even liquids, though it's not a true temporal pause it's a very powerful field of slow motion. He can do that to an area about the size of himself, in whatever shape he likes, though the farther away, the smaller the field will be, down to the size of a softball at around 25 meters. He can support several small items in this manner when quite nearby, and thus he works on machinery with a field of parts floating around him ready to be moved into place. Though his Vortal aura is strong and visible to others, he can only 'hear' very strong telepathy and definitely not at a distance more than 100 meters away.

Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 3 he was given the Icarus treatment, skill downloads, and aged about 8 years. The processing improved his strength to about 2x normal, and apparently his fine motor skills as well, but physically not much more than that. They did however dramatically increase his Vortal controls over already-strong telekinetics.
Skills or Profession: the skills that Jon received while being treated include the normal 'math science english history' suite, but also a good amount of civil engineering and physics, mechanical engineering, demolitions, and the like. With those, he's able to repair and appraise a wide variety of items and locations, including Rapture where he currently resides. He really does have a kind of 'plumber' vibe going, with big work boots (which he loves to find while exploring) and the ever-present hat. He loves hats, and though there are plenty of crappy old beat up ones at the Rookery or Black Mesa back home, down in Rapture he's found a ton of really cool ones, and keeps bunches of them in a display in his apartment there.
Personality: Active and perceptive, he's a detail oriented type, and enjoys his work as much as any down time activities, mostly because he treats them about the same. Since he and his peers have grown up in a post-ruin-economy he likes being paid in hints to caches, items of clothing, and cigarettes which he's become addicted to. Also of note, he's starting to think he needs to learn to play a musical instrument, because down there in Rapture there are recording studios and nightclubs. Probably a marimba or maybe a standing bass would suit him? (Yes, he wants to do this in order to impress the ladies...)
Events or History: As above, he was 'reborn' with some number of other kids and aged a little in order to become more functional to help rebuild after the defeat of the Combine on Earth. Always creeping around in ducts and pipes, Jon enjoys his life in this new world quite a bit - there's both more to explore and discover and help rebuild, as well as the challenges of actually fighting with the Combine on occasion. Though he doesn't really think he's missing out on those fights, he's under the sea most of the time, he will go up with Beroe and take down crafts that drift too close to their Lighthouse.
Dragon Name: Beroe Gender: Female Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-large (bulky) 12' s / 45' l / 85' ws Colors: underside lighter than back and tail, a heavily mottled mixture of light blue, medium blue, and violet, all dappled with light blue and very fine white star dots, here and there a much more bold dark blue appears; wingsails are more vibrantly indigo, violet, and medium blue with larger and bolder star patterns; dorsal webbing is more light and bright sea-blue through teal, with sparse star marks, while chest web is darker; horns, claws, and side scale luminescent patches brilliant white; tongue black; eyes bright lighter blue Features: Night-Seawing hybrid, Night dominant but well balanced; four heavy legs with 5 and 4 short curved claws; two leathery wings with 4 visible fingers, long elbow strut, and prominent strong wrist thumb, all with heavy curved claws; body is thick and scaled, with soft tiny scales on belly from chin to tail tip, heavy plated scales along entire neck and tail, and overlapping scales along neck, back, and tail, neck also has gills under large scales; body and chest have large spikes with webbing from neck to tail tip, and on chest to abdomen; head is large and boxy with heavy eye ridges, external ears, and two conical short back-pointing horns Powers: Winged Motion, while 'flight' is absolutely possible with Beroe, she uses her wings mostly to propel herself or at least get speed up before her body and tail take over under the sea. Above the water she's graceful and surprisingly powerful, though not as maneuverable as under water. Below the surface she is as graceful as a seal though she does take a lot more room to do a full turn... She can tow massive amounts of weight under the water, and it's often her tracks and drag marks leading to and from excavation sites as she pulls sleds or whole chunks of broken walls around. She could do the same in the air, honestly, but there's not a lot of big machinery to worry about up there. Underwater Adaptation, as a half-seawing her body is well suited to depths and chill, pressure, and breathing through water. Communication, though she speaks both Draconic and Aquatic easily, she also has a Nightwing-enabled Vortal speech that she uses mostly to communicate with her human friend or the Vorts in Rapture. She does speak English, but more Vort. Also, as part Seawing she has brightly luminescent dots along her neck and tail, as well as those stars on her wingsails, that reflect and shimmer. She cannot change their color, but she can 'flash' them to attract attention, or lure prey. Breath weapon, while it's possible that she has some form of fire or water breath, she's never demonstrated it, and doesn't really see what the fuss is about. She doesn't need it, she's fast and hardy in either the sky or the sea, and can hunt just fine without it - and has only been in big fights above the water a few times, mostly to come barreling in and hitting ships so hard they break, rather than to spew sea water or fire at them. Parentage: Unknown Seawing mother and Nightwing father, no clear relatives in the Rookery Origin: Adopted from Moonshimmer981 on Deviantart, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland Other Info: Beroe is a quiet sort, not particularly shy but doesn't care for big crowds. That said, she loves listening to the music that her human friend has found on his exploration, and thinks that some day when there's a 'band' playing, she'll want to 'dance' in the waters while listening to it.
