Name: Katharine (Stimmer) Silvestri Gender: Female, Bisexual Age/DOB: ~16, aged, 2024 Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC Auburn Alabama Family: Spliced, part of the Reborn student group in the Enrichment Center; while her original designation is Silvestri, Melissa added liberal doses of Neill Stimmer's DNA; she and Tony Ashe have a son named Kain Other: She's quite the catch, if anyone can keep up with her Height: 5'6" Weight: 120* Icarus lightened overall weight Hair: Black with brown tint, heavy and thick, kept short Eyes: Clear frosty blue-green, an unsually white-tinted reflectivity makes them seem glassy, almond shaped, quite pretty Appearance: Fair to light tan skin, looks very 'porcelain doll', oval face with plump lips; tends to look like she's on her way somewhere and you are absolutely in her way; has discovered plenty of what she calls 'fun' clothing down in Rapture, though many of the shirts she wears are mens and um, well, she does have buttons go missing now and then Genetic Abilities: Gifted with not only a full complement of Vortal senses, telepathy, empathy, and aura sense, Katharine is quite stunningly strong with machinery. Her abilities must be triggered by touch, as a form of controllable psychometry, and only apply to mechanical devices. However she can sense the entire history of a (complete) machine, seeing and 'feeling' through it, gleaning its use and any particular quirks that it might have. She can then activate it, stop it, and the like. She can create machines on the fly, gifted with a strong engineering savant, aided by the Pythagoras treatments that she was given in addition to Icarus. Her Vortal aura sense is very broad and well tuned, able to pick out individual minds, even non-Vortal ones, among large groups or at distances up to 200 miles with ease. She cannot necessarily communicate at that distance but people have claimed that they can 'feel' her looking at them - some use this eerie sensation to relay a Vortal 'ping'. With this power, too, she can sense where Vortal powers have been put to use, who used them, drawing lines in her vision. It's almost impossible to be invisible to her, she's one of the very few people who can easily sense Mars when she's gone dark. |

Icarus Processing: Yes, at the age of 3 Katharine was put with several others and concurrently aged to a young teen while the processing and downloads were being done. After this point, however, for a period of around 2 years, she also took daily supplements geared toward improving centers of the brain for mathematics. They worked quite well. | |
Skills or Profession: With a clear mechanical engineering bent, Katharine is an inventor and tinker of high degree. She has a penchant for pocketing small items found in the ruins, and when she gets back to base she'll start making them into functional products again. Of course, she could do that just by touching them, but... she prefers to look with her eyes, and think about what to take apart or what to toss. Exceptional at appraisal of the integrity of a device, she can estimate a failure rate, and mentally run thousands of calculations right alongside a computer - sometimes completing it faster. She is on hand whenever anyone uses one of the teleporters in Rapture, as well as helping out with the Icarus and Plasmid processing. Clearly she's suited to a lot more science than she's had put in front of her, and she's looking forward to having her own lab or even manufacturing plant in Rapture when they get it more functional. | |
Personality: Like many of the Pythagoras students, she's a bit quiet and very intense - somewhat autistic in mood swings, but never truly angry or withdrawn. She does have a bit of a temper, and is quite abrupt when someone is preventing her from doing her work. | |
Events or History: Created with DNA and notes found in the Icarus lab, Katharine's original form was in transit between facilities when the Events occurred. Given a new chance to live, Melissa also decided with the similarities already present, to add a bit of Neill Stimmer to her mix: Neill didn't make it into the 2010s with the rest of the Pantheon, having fallen to one of GLADOS's cruel tricks. But his brilliant mind lives on, in this girl. Yes, that's a flux capacitor in her potato experiment. It works now. |
