The Observatory
Some 40 miles north of New Detroit is a small vintage observatory.
Though located far from any towns the localized light pollution makes using the still-functional telescope more difficult then it was when first built. It is built on a hill in a wooded area. It has a wide laun edged in a high fence set with ornamental Gargoyle statures. More gargoyles have been placed as waterspouts on the building roof. There is a small garden shed and a smaller woodshed on the property as well as an add-on car garage.
inside the building has been refurbished into a cozy [if eccentric] house, as well as a secure medical area and researching laboratory. Access to the scientific parts of the building is quite understandably, heavily restricted.
It is considered by some people to be a Villain Lair.
The two men who for several years maintained a bachelors household there are geneticists by birth and trade. Both are clones who escaped their Originals. Brothers in all but blood they work well together and are employed by the Center for Disease Control. they take on difficult cases such as Artificially-induced mutations, Techno-Organic viruses and alien parasite removal.
They share fatherhood of their son, Daedalus. He was brought to them by the [Snookii|clone Raphelle]] as the remains of a temporally made clone of a supervillain. As creating such disposable clones is highly illegal where Icarus' original is from, it was decided to make a new version with none of the alien memories, that could grow and live like a regular child.
ITHIKOS
The Rapters
Genetically modified Teleio-Rapters. There are five, they work as Lab Assistants at the Observatory, and several help in the Bio-Department of the East Briar Institute. Copernicus wears spectacles.
ICARUS
Arganov
An albino alien geneticist, long ago driven mad and now working for a space-faring warlord. He is known for creating supersoldiers, Bio-monsters and abominations, both for pay and simply out of curiosity, in the name of Knowledge.
Icarus was an experimental clone of this man with prototype superpowers.
The Kids
Daedalus
A young amalgam clone of the supervillain "Warblade" and an unspecified donor. He is approx. 10 years old, with black eyes, black curly hair, a dark grey skin and leaf-shaped ears. The Snookii call him "Puddles II". When he uses his powers a faint blue glow often appears. He can fly, has some amount of Kineticism and is quite intelligent. Last year he wont he school science fair with self-weaving silkworms.
He is a little sweet on the catgirl, Fleabelly. His best friend is Jake.
Consuelo
Consuelo Maria Vikomir. Born January 29 2018 at 7.34pm. She is the child of Icarus and Snookums and is paler then both, seeming to take after Icarus' genetics. At three months she managed to telepathicly identify both parents, at four months, she can tentatively communicate with other psionic individuals, Primus agents Oliver and Bai ["Oloo" and "Baa"] when they came to visit the family.
