Name: Leo Brune (Formerly Leon, according to Armacham records, but there were already several Leons among the refugees, Melissa didn't want this to get too confusing)

Gender: Male, Bisexual

Age/DOB: 17, aged, 2023

Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC

Family: Unknown, made from several donated parents, but is apparently unrelated to those in the Pantheon; it's very likely that he will be popular as a parent, or even just donor parenting, as Melissa insists that healers like him and Sandy don't come around all that often. Come to think of it, *she ducks into the lab...* (Valentine is their son); also was spliced in RY 9 to produce Tawnell

Other: Part of the Reborn group, is popular among both Pantheon and regular folks, particularly among the scientists at Black Mesa

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 140* Icarus slightly decreases weight overall, increases muscularity, though he's still pretty burly all told, and would probably weigh almost 100 lbs more than this normally

Hair: black, afro, but shaved

Eyes: Dark reddish brown, usually worried, but equally jovial when the time is right

Appearance: dark reddish brown skin with numerous small scars from exploration and assorted incidents, high round cheeks, a broad nose, and thick lips that plenty of folks agree are quite kissable; has a voice that can be soft and reassuring, or quite bold and commanding, depends on how he needs to be heard; usually wears as shown, science gear scavenged from Armacham's facilities

Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 3 when he was also aged a few years and given skill downloads; this process strengthened his joints, lightened his bones; he is around 2x stronger than normal, though that's about the only other benefit from this physically; mostly the benfits are Vortal

Genetic Abilities: While he has a modest amount of Vortal sensing and empathy as a psionic suite, which he uses frequently to determine the nature of injuries among refugees, his focus for both Vortal power and skills has been healing of others. He can't use this power on himself, but can concentrate on injuries and damage done, even older wounds, to heal them fully in less than an hour. He doesn't deal with disorders or things which have occurred in a person's body because of genetics or illnesses - he cannot heal deafness brought on by a fever, but he can heal an ear injured from a bullet. So... yeah sometimes he has to re-injure a patient if there's a chance his power could then fix what went wrong before he got to the patient. While he must have physical contact with the patient, he is known to have exceptionally good bedside manners, even when he has to break a limb to get it to set properly the second time... His power appears to mute but not completely remove pain, while it's being done, so only highly sensitive patients ever really feel a thing while he's working. Of note, even though his powers don't work on himself, he always seems to be incredibly clean and doesn't get sick. His skin anyway, his outfits may get quite gross but he has a few of them and always has a clean spare. He doesn't go through gloves, and doesn't need a mask unless someone's remarkably infectious. He can regenerate severed limbs, though if the limb is around, he can easily reattach it. Normal cuts and bullet wounds can be healed in a matter of moments, burns and deeper injuries to the flesh around half an hour, and bones or delicate nerve tissues such as ears, eyes, or brain matter, he takes his time but still only needs about an hour. Leo must rest after any major healing, but doesn't need to rely on mood or empathy to get it done like Sandy might.
Skills or Profession: Along with the standard old-style Pantheon education of math, english, history and some sciences, Leo definitely concentrates his efforts and future studies to medicine and healing. He is adept with tools of surgery as well as pharmacological use, though those are fewer and farther between particularly on the Rookery. He can manually set bones, as well as Vortally heal them, and often does both. He is familiar with and complies with any given clean-room policies needed, and can explain a procedure to someone adequately, even if they're already hopped up on medicine. He does make regular trips to Lane Mansion as well as the Bayou to see if their herb gardens have anything needed for supplies back at the Rookery.
Personality: pleasant and humorous, but when he needs to get down to business he doesn't tolerate anything goofy. He will instantly let you know if you're crossing a line, though he's hardly ever mad at anyone. He is gregarious by nature, and loves being around a good number of people, has no jealousy or bitterness about his partners, as long as they're okay with his own. His sense of humor shows up in his naming of things - when Racer arrived to his chagrin he called her the Emergency Medical Dragon, and she immediately adored it.
Events or History: as part of the Reborn group, Leo had originally been thought by the Armacham notes to be more self-sustaining than externally abled, but here he is. He was an attentive child, and didn't mind 'missing' some years of childhood among the scary Combine-infested ruins, in favor of being able to help Sandy and Chris and Rufus out with their fixing-up of people. While he doesn't care to be out on the front line, he has always considered himself a brave guy, and will certainly get to the injured and get them out and healing as fast and as thoroughly as he can. With a dragon like Racer with him, that's a breeze!

Dragon

Name: EMD, Emergency Medical Dragon! (Okay her name is Racer, but she loves being called this)
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Large (bulky/broad) 12'8" s / 53' l / 90' ws
Colors: Belly, claws, horns, and back spikes all vibrantly white; face, neck, limbs have a wide stripe of pinkish red; face accent, neck accent, limb fronts, wing armor, and tail sides vibrant violet; eyebrow ridge, fringe scales and tail spots bright sunflower-yellow; back of neck, body, wing arms, and tail all dark graphite-green; wingsails grade from sunflower yellow to orange to pink-red with tiny white speckling; eyes are pale blue
Features: Mud-Nightwing hybrid, with the build of a low to the ground Mud and wide spread to her forelimbs, and a more narrow hindquarters, with a big Nightwing head, honrs, tail, and wings suited more to a Night. However her powers are remarkably Mud-like.
Powers: Winged Flight, yeah she can fly! She is fast in the air, though prefers to be quick because she's not very good with long distance flights. She can take to the air and land either really delicately without putting a hair out of place, or absolutely body-slam something into the ground putting her weight into it. She's been known to barrel through thin walls and break down barricades this way, to get to injured refugees. She can lift a literal bus, and has gotten a harness with which she can heft injured people needing stability so they don't have to be on her back. Leo rides between her horns.
Ground Speed, her regular name is mainly for her speed on the ground, as she's able to race much greater distances at nearly full flight speed - she can match a medium-speed flier as long as there's not a lot in the way on the ground. And even then, she's exceptionally good at dodging trees, buildings, people, or objects without hitting them or even rustling their jimmies. Well okay, everyone's jimmies gets rustled when she runs by, because if she's running it's either a race (fun!) or a rescue (not fun!) and no one usually knows which until it's all over.
Communication, because of her Nightwing parentage, she's easily able to telepathically communicate with any Vortal mind nearby (within about 500 meters), and can find her human friend or any Vorts within about 5 miles. She speaks clearly and calmly except when there's a fuss, she'll resort to a mixture of Vort and Draconic when she's excited, but returns to a more sedate English in polite company. As she's entrusted with a very important duty, she's learned terminology and visuals for tools, requested items, locations, or services needed, so that she doesn't accidentally land on the medical supplies, or pick up a Combine soldier instead of a patient.
Mud Pack Healing, and due to her Mudwing side, she does have a very strong ability to heal both herself and dragons (though not humans or Vorts) with essentially a lounge in the mud and a quick smear. She has two mud puddles, one in the Rookery, and another at the Bayou nearby. Both of those also sport other dragons, but when she's visible near them, others give her space to pack up some mud and do her job. Vorts have said that they can see her 'healing power' stuck into the mud she applies to dragons scales and hide, it is absorbed quickly for superficial wounds, but then must be either more fully submerged or packed repeatedly for deeper injuries or wingsail rips. She's pleased to learn that her human friend is very good with a needle and sinue, because then those things can stitch wings up and dissolve into the flesh when it's being healed with her mud. She lacks a true breath weapon, however, she's very much a support dragon.
Parentage: Mudwing sire and Nightwing mother, neither present at the Rookery as far as anyone knows.

Other Info: Racer is starting to learn to use a siren noise when she's on her way to a local site that isn't going to be filled with Combine soldiers. For everyday use, if a dragon is harmed from their own stupidity she will not hesitate to tell them how not to do that stupid shit again, but for any war-time injuries she will certainly keep that to herself and reserves cursing for the Combine.
