Their current projects including looking for ways to advance his zoology knowledge, helping to care for animals, and trying their best to be a good bunny husband to Shakal Draconis.

Joined
Jarylan could, in some ways, be called one of the first members of House Valkyrie. This is because while they only joined in watching Will directly during November 2018, they had been lurking since 'The Before Times'. Since then, Jarylan has done their best to keep Will healthy, both emotionally and financially. They take pride is often being one of the first through the door on most stream days.

X-COM 2: War of the Chosen
Thanks to popular support from chat, Jarylan was chosen to be the second SPARK created during Will's most recent play through of X-COM2. When asked what the robot should look like Jarylan responded: 'Yellow and black. Like a piece of pissed off construction equipment", which caused Will to giggle gleefully. Despite several close calls, Jarylan 'Kilroy' Blackwell was operational through the end of the campaign, though they did not fight in the final battle.

Battle Characteristics
Jarylan favors lighter weaponry and armor, enabling them to use their natural lapine mobility to its fullest. In general, they prefer a pistol or spear, depending on time period. Heavier weapons such as battle rifles and axes may be used, but only for specific battles or purposes. Jarylan utilizes a unique Gauss pistol called the 'Emissary of Carcosa' for most operations. The 'Emissary of Carcosa' appears to be a fairly nondescript GLOCK 17, albeit with the Longship logo on the grip, and a caution tape motif around the end of the barrel. Surprisingly powerful, the weapon is capable of both anti-personnel and anti-monster use, though it has little effect on vehicles or 'Mechs.

For larger battles against heavy vehicles, 'Mechs, and aerospace forces, Jarylan employs a 100-ton MSK-9H-2 Mackie II BattleMech.
