Similar to their female predecessors, several of this group concentrate on creation and maintenance of weapons, tools, and machinery. Tto a smaller extent Bronze overlaps in this regard, but his expertise is in a different direction than Umber and Copper. Copper handles a lot of outdoorsy work, preferring to be outside or at least working on large projects like power plants and safety walls. Umber is definitely his father's son - Gordon Freeman's abilities with melee and improvised weapons certainly shines in this 'son' of his, and if Copper has something to put into testing, Umber is on it in a minute.

Powers: Winged Flight, Gun is a powerful flier, seeking updrafts and warm air true to his desert color scheme, thankfully this is in plentiful supply in the Rookery area. He can carry quite a bit of weight, too, and does so almost casually.
Portal / Teleport, because his human bond is so tuned to teleportation, Gun's own ability is superb. He takes instruction on exact coordinates, and has no need for urging or encouragement, he loves to portal away from enemies only to drop some heavy machinery on them thanks to Umber's devices. He can usually manage multiple short range (under 1km) portals in quick succession without needing to rest, but does require a bit of a breather if he goes to his longer distance 50km.
Mental Bond, Verbal Communication, with Umber having effectively similar powers to a drak, Gunnaty and Umber have a lot to talk about. They go on and on - both mentally and verbally - using 'the big words'. Gun enjoys talking with other humans and Vorts, and is much more good natured than his scary appearance shows. His mental voice is bright and warm, like the desert.
Venom Bite, because his parents are variations on normal Draks, his acid is in the form of a deadly bite, which he reserves for food and last ditch Combine fighting. Though he can take on one or two human-sized Combine soldiers, he prefers to bite one and engage the other, so while that one is effectively immobilized or in too much pain to function, the other will have no backup.

Other Info: Desert draks are known as 'blunt', and Gun is pretty straightforwardly so. However he usually sees the good side first, and hates to lose that feeling if a situation goes bad. |
