Name: Rizzo (Ross Overton 2.0) Gender: Male, Bisexual Age/DOB: Originally 1998-2006; reborn 2021 Origin: Repurposed Earth, AAEC lab Family: Unknown, spliced from original samples with added genes to boost both Vortal and physical levels Other: Recreated from Ross who died in the EC before GLADOS was destroyed Height: 6'2" Weight: 130* Icarus strongly increases musculature but reduces overall weight, improves bone durability and healing rate Hair: Honey blond with coppery undertones, silky, kept short and styled somehow Eyes: brightly blue, wide and clear, doesn't really notice how expressive he is and is abyssmal at poker Appearance: fair skinned and hardly tans at all, but doesn't burn (lol), almost always smiling and has a large tooth gap, can't grow a beard to save his life; though he looks less than toned, he is quite athletic and those arms are used to climbing; likes the Aperture branded gear better than Armacham's; would be a track and field guy; voice is still rather high but notably masculine Genetic Abilities: as Ross had originally been somewhat pyrokinetic and resistant to fire, Melissa added a lot more of that to his DNA in version 2, as well as boosting his healing factors and overall durability - if he'd been able to self-regulate in his first incarnation he likely would still be alive. He now has close range but quite strong pyrokinetics, able to heat an area or item to combustion levels, or remove the heat and molecular agitation as well though to a lesser degree. He can cause a 5 foot wide space to overheat to explosive level in about 45 seconds, but also manipulate that heated air or especially the particles in it while they're under his Vortal control, creating 'fire whips' and shields, very flashy stuff that will absolutely damage anything they come near. He does leave superheated footprints behind, but then he's also mastered placing 'fake' prints around places to confuse combine sensors like crazy. Additionally he can resist all forms of 'delta change' - he is immune to fire and heat effects, but also to radiation damage of any frequency be it x-ray or microwaves. His own temperature can be quite high so he has to concentrate to reduce that in a room of people. His powers work more easily in existing warm air, so he likes being in the desert. He is around 2x stronger than a normal man, and heals around 3x faster, as well he has about 1.5x quicker response times for almost all action. He does have a modest amount of telepathic power, though it is fairly weak and only relies on it if he's trying to locate a refugee or stray, than to communicate. Icarus Processing: Yes, at age 2, this processing increased his Vortal output as well as all the above physical changes |

Skills or Profession: because he has such strong resistance to heat and other effects, he is trained in repairs and emergency work, able to move through areas that are very clearly dangerous for others. He knows all about structure stability and even has the full OSHA approved guidelines tucked away in his dorm. He can oversee construction as well as clearing and maintaining an area. In the post-Combine era he was assigned duties for acquiring and rebuilding, and now in the Rookery has similar goals in mind for him. He's learned how to use surveying tools and cartography for the Rookery. | |
Personality: he knows he's a 'remake', but that's not stopped him from being his own person. He enjoys talking to everyone, not gossiping but keeping up with people, and making sure that needs are being met. He is kind, and wants to be surrounded by happy people. | |
Events or History: As with some of the other 'reborn' kids, Rizzo was brought 'back' from the dead. However, his lih is not the same, his powers slightly different, and most people respect him as a 'new' Pantheon. He served as a scout and construction pro and has enjoyed it enough that he's brought his expertise to the Rookery. With Gloaming by his side, they can make a tremendous difference in whatever locale they're required. | |
