Name: Claudio Fernandez Gender: Male, bisexual Age/DOB: 28 in RY2 Origin: Rookery Earth, local to New Mexico Family: Deceased during Resonance Cascade, had been dating a guy who lived near Black Mesa, but their survival is unlikely Other: has been looking around for any kind of interaction, and is certainly interested in settling down at some point, but that will rely on the entire Rookery situation Height: 5'7" Weight: 150, quite muscular without being musclebound, and athletic to a very high degree Hair: medium coppery brown, looks darker under artificial light, but is shiny in sunlight or Xenian lighting; slightly wavy, kept short while working, but even though his helmet conceals it, he's let it grow out a bit and is not around neck length Eyes: reddish brown, narrow, under strongly arched brows, over high cheekbones Appearance: tan skinned with some amount of scars from training and life in Black Mesa after the Events; has a bristly beard patch, and only light body hair; tends to keep wearing the security gear he was given on employment, but also has workout sweats and even a nice formal looking outfit that he hasn't worn in years; speaks with a very slight accent due to his Mexican heritage and family background Genetic Abilities: Displays some amount of precognition, which is likely why he survived the events on this world. Melissa has asked that he participate in gene collection, but he is on the fence about it. She suspects he has a bit of telepathic or empathic latency, which might also extend to animal life Icarus Processing: none, though Melissa is pressuring him for it, particularly since he has befriended a dragon, and his duties in Xen may benefit |

Skills or Profession: mainly trained on the job, he's adept with handling weaponry, securing areas, working with computers and some amount of mechanical repair work; because he's been entrusted with keeping a group safe even before the Resonance Cascade and subsequent invasions, he has become very good with sharp shooting, setting up perimeter defenses, and herding cats. While he can adequately use a computer for communications and gaming, he's better with security systems to the point of being the go-to guy for it in the labs and Xen exploration team. | |
Personality: Seemingly stoic and a bit uptight, once his shift is over, or dangers have been resolved, Claudio is genial and genuinely enjoys group activities and games. Some folks believe he will be a great dad, he's good with organizing events. But he does give orders and expects them to be obeyed, thankfully he is clear and concise with those orders. | |
Events or History: born in New Mexico to immigrant parents, part of a large family that spread pretty quickly. His older brother and sister both were in college as he went into high school, and several younger siblings among local schools as well. With a small amount of college behind him, Claudio headed to work at Black Mesa at 19 just to break the pattern - not because he's not smart enough to get into a specific field, but because he was rather bored with it and wanted a more practical career. He proved to be a quick study and quite good with the tools of the security trade, and rapidly gained rank among the security forces. When the Resonance Cascade occurred he was assigned to the lab working with Stig. Though the older man was still just as gruff as ever, they have a very strong friendship and work as a team flawlessly. The group's survival in their hands, he lived up to the task. As the Rookery emerged and his large dragon friend teamed up, he has risen once more to the task of protecting the scientists and explorers in their Xenian environment. | |
