Living Computer: This kid remembers everything. Every minute detail, every tiny fact, this kid can remember. What color socks you wore three weeks ago, how many Cheerios were in his bowl of cereal on a specific day....everything. He makes an elephant look forgetful.

Name: Mortimer
Nicknames: Mort
Relationship: Adoptive father
Age 40's

Race: Human

Gender:Male
Eyes: Steel blue.
Skin: Ruddy, starting to wrinkle, tends to make him look out of breath or angry.
Hair: Red with grey showing at the temple
Body type: Pudgy. While Mort still has quite a bit of muscle from doing construction work, his recent years as supervisor (and old age) have started to give him a bit of a belly.
Special: A year or two ago Mort was turned into a vampire. So his skin has an pallor of death under lying everything. As a vampire he has fangs but he takes pain to hide them.

Personality: Mort is a fairly happy guy. He's pretty calm about most things but the supernatural side of Gaia still tends to freak him out. Caring, sensitive, and all that (not that he'll let anyone know). Mort doesn't know how to deal with kids as much as he thinks they're adorable. Since 'adopting' Alair, he's realized he very much would like a family of his own but can't seem to find Mrs. Right.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Very handy, straight forward and easy going. Not very good at higher mathematics and schooling.
Fears: Being stuck as a vampire or not being able to get to the blood bank on time.
Drives and motives: He wants to have a family but can't bring himself to make up with his own.
Character Flaws: Mort can't understand when someone starts using big words outside of work jargon. He's intelligent but not particularly smart in the academic sense of the word.
Favorite Animals: Cats
Favorite Color: Golden yellow
Habits: He drums his fingers when nervous or bored.
Darkest secret: Mort has cut ties with his prior family after a large fight on his choice of career. They feel he's not living up to his potential while Mort loves what he does.
Conflicts/Other: While he hated school and reading books all day. Mort is often found reading a book in his free time.

History Mortimer is a construction supervisor, although he began as just an extra set of hands as a teen when his family disowned him. He's legally changed his last name from Smith to nothing because of this. Mort has had a few serious dates in the last few years but nothing special even though he wants a family. Mort moved to Gaia three years ago when his company decided to branch out. His company specializes in residential buildings. He adopted Alair two years ago and the kid is already a teenager. With Alair growing so quickly, Mort would like another child around the house.
Family Alair is his 'adopted' son, who seems to be a mix of the penicillin mold and a human. Mort is estranged from the rest of his family.

Powers: None

How do they relate to others: Easy going, not as talkative
How are they perceived by strangers: Burly, occassionally intimidating. Often people think he's mad or out of shape due to his skin tone.

Name: Alair
Nicknames: None
Relationship: Adoptive Brother
Age Teen

Race: Human

Gender:Male
Eyes:
Skin:
Hair:
Body type:
Special:

Personality: Withdrawn and moody, used to be friendly and outgoing but after puberty started he's been more and more withdrawn.
Strengths and Weaknesses: He's a whiz at mixing up medications, even if sometimes he doesn't know what he's doing. He's studying to be a doctor as well.
Fears: Death. The past, going to sleep.
Drives and motives: To not let people die. Alair is terrified at the idea of death, particularly.
Character Flaws: Inability to open up and talk about his problems for fear of burdening the other person.
Favorite Animals: Mice
Favorite Color: Blue
Habits:
Darkest secret: He was responsible for a great many deaths in a previous life through experimentation and neglect, or at least he believes so.
Conflicts/Other:

History Alair was once a doctor during the Black Plauge. He couldn't seem to keep his patients from dying, although he made several medical advances. It was decided that his willingness to experiment to find the truth of illness would be better served in the future so he was sealed into a scroll. Something went wrong and when he was unsealed he was a toddler with no memories of before, and a rather changed physiology.
Family Mortimer; his 'adopted' father, there is a bond between them that only allows Alair to go so far before it begins to cause physical distress.

Powers: Secretes penicillin out of his skin.

How do they relate to others: Suddenly shy.
How are they perceived by strangers: Morose and aloof. As if he doesn't want to interact with others.
