Magic: extremely strong sensing of magic, be it on an item, within a creature, a spell being cast, or an enchantment over an area. This means that he's always hearing or sensing this, because inherently most of his family, the area, and their gear are all sorta... y'know. Magical. So he's been practicing and refining the ability to discern specifics about any given thing - if it's a biological source, mineral, an enchantment or spell. As he's still learning how to focus on these differences, he's been known to tap his siblings for aid in filtering some out, or bringing others to the forefront so he can then devote it to memory. His sensitivity is about 200 meters in a sphere, so if he really wants to be away from this, he's got to get walking...
He does have a side ability of enhancement. Not enchanting, as this is a temporary boost to a normal or naturally-occuring power, ability, or quality. this is for instance what you'd want as a 'cheerleader' to boost someone's balance, be just a little quicker to dodge, or able to throw that lightning bolt power a tiny bit farther. He knows this power is often duplicated among both his siblings and the students at the Castle, so it's been overshadowed by quite a few who are much better at it. But he still knows how to add just a nudge to the mix too. However some have pointed out that this can work on inanimate or already-enchanted items, so a door with a protective spell can withstand even more pounding in an attack, or a spy glass is able to focus on things even if they're warded

Favored weapon: Penpa has mastered pole arms. Even as a child his favored tool was 'whatever is able to touch from the farthest distance'. He isn't going to become a true 'guard' because there are plenty of those to go around, but he has helped train them with these somewhat difficult weapons. Even in close quarters he's able to maneuver with a 10 foot long weapon, half of it is pointy or sharp so he knows just where to hold, when to shift his stance, and how to use the pole itself as a tool to vault or balance with along a high wall or rope. The down side of course is that he then has to either heft them around with him on a pack animal or trained steed, or go fetch them when needed. Or, of course, maybe someone will take pity and invent a spell that can be used to summon one to his hand!

Personality: Charming and witty, Penpa usually has a smile on his face, but equally he knows what you're doing back there. He cannot help but sense whether someone's just bursting into their magical talent as many Gelgelans might, or if a spell just backfired, so sometimes he seems rather distracted by things that aren't anywhere visible.

*takes place around 250 years prior to arrival on Dragondeep, so when they get there, he will be on hand!

Penpa's attention would be captured by dragons early in his life, of course. There were many that would come and go in the courtyard, well established teams and newly fledged pairs as well as even some traveling around as explorers and merchants.

Somehow, one of them mentioned that there might be an interesting batch of dragons somewhere in a distant realm. Consulting with his mother and father, they knew this place, though perhaps not the era it was in. Obviously they'd send him out and see what might come of it! The dragons apparently don't require a permanent pairing, but they also know that this bright son of theirs could help raise and familiarize a young dragon with their area. Maybe they could become a helpful trainer, maybe they'd be a guard, who knows? So off to the Spectral Wilds he went!

"Did you see that man, the one with a pheasant feather in his hat?" Penpa muttered, knowing that Nieuna heard him.

I did, his aura is...?

"Exactly what we're looking for, keep an eye on him."

As they tracked this human who wandered through the city, they noticed an unusually strong presence wherever he went. It was not a kindly presence. It smacked of demonic energy, in fact. So when they did finally see him attempting to enter one of the restricted areas of the keep from below it, at the lower street level, it was clear he wasn't a friendly sort. Two guards, both Gelgelan, had been magically shoved aside, only one of them still concious.

"There is a ... delivery of gear," he stated, "can't be interrupted, enchanted..."

Penpa ducked into the tunnel and worked his way toward the errant man, and after having a brief mental conversation, convinced Nieuna that it would be best to alert the healers to check on the guardsmen. She did so, but also slipped into her 'long narrow area' exploration form, and mentally complained the whole way.

This tunnel needs cleaning! Have you ever seen so much foot grime?

I have bare feet, so yes, yes I have, Penpa responded, check that side passage, I can't get a good bead on his location.

Even if she was slightly miffed at having to 'swim through years of foul dirt', she snaked her way over to the central wall chamber while her companion continued down to the recieving area under the main castle. Together they focused on that energy and managed - barely - to stop him before he began tainting new enchanted equipment!

Okay well the equipment would need to be re-enchanted, after Nieuna had her magical way with it, but they woke the possessed man and discovered that he had been wandering the land for some time under the control of that demon. He wasn't sure what demon it was, but they did figure out he was telling the truth about it. He'd be helped by their mages and healers, and meanwhile Penpa and Nieuna would have to re-deliver the goods for enchanting...

Dragon: Nieuna Sislen-Oranato
Gender: Female
Size: Medium 10' s / 40'l + floofy / 52' ws
Colors: black white grey rainbow with black boots; body overall is a shiny black, with even darker black boots on all four paws; head/neck/ears, back, behind elbows/heels, and on tail are very puffy white fur/feathers; medium shiny grey flight feathers, neck crest, and wing spars, claws; belly armor is rainbow from pink at neck to orange at tail with red insets; horns dark, eyes blue
Features: Dragon Mutt, as shown, fairly typical four-legs two-wings, with plentiful fluff and adds, short back pointing downturned horns, large external ears, clear thumbs
Powers: Winged Flight - enjoys making dramatic entrances, so of course Nieuna flies precisely and strongly even in stiff winds or low-visibility conditions; while she can certainly carry quite a bit at her size, she prefers to only carry her rider, royalty that he is, and he makes a good color combination against the dark and stormy wings...now if only he wasn't typically buried in her neck floof...
Teleportation - accurate and sure with several specific locations, prefers to have a clear visible view of her landing area but beyond that it could be extremely distant mountain peaks or Just Behind You, and you never know which it'll be until she ports
Telepathy, Verbal Speech - once she gets it into her head about something, she will stick with it, and tell you all about it if you either 'don't get it' or 'aren't listening to her'. Having listened to the royal family and upper-echelon types in Gelgelan court, she has a clipped snippy voice and a large and rather technical vocabulary, and isn't afraid to trot it out when she's in bipedal form. Her mind is like a slick covering of oil on marble, you absolutely will feel it when you fall, but until that point it's almost entirely impossible to determine whether she's just watching, or doing anything else in your mind
Magic Leeching - that anything else is really important because there have been times when her ability has spared people from assassination attempts and accidents on the training field alike. Though she does have to be in proximity of around 15 meters or under for it to work very well, she can siphon away a magical effect or raw power, with increasing potency closer up, but can definitely still concentrate on a single source of this power up to 50 meters away as long as there's a clear path (and not a lot of other magic in use between). Spells cast just fizzle, inherently magical abilities lose their active component, though she cannot really cancel out things that are strictly speaking biological in nature even if those are magical effects
Influence Fire - when she's ready to come in for a landing, or when she strides on two feet into a torch or candle-lit area, all of those light sources (flame only, including hearth fires or lighters) grow in visibility, helpful for a foggy landing field, or if she needs to dim them to slink along a wall in darkness; activates up to 100 meters away with concentration, or 20 meters or less just by expecting them to do whatever she wills. Cannot produce her own flame outright but there are plenty of torches. She has begun working with the fire-breathing dragons, and should there ever be a need, she'll be able to keep up with them to heighten their effects in a big fight! This ability is tremendously helped by Penpa's enhancement power!
Full Form Shapeshifting- An impressive looking biped, she prefers to keep many of her typically draconic features because there are already enough long-eared furries around, right? But with this power she can also enlarge her wings, grow more fur than expected for those cold-weather nights, and also oh yeah change into other creatures like winged snakes, large birds, and such. Generally speaking she can reduce her mass more easily than gain it, but 'it's still there when she pops back into her birth shape'
Parentage / Family: Royanet Sislen-Oranato and Naeuso Onnissian
Origin: Spectral Wilds Rainbow Glitz, by Ktrenal
Other Info: a powerful team, once they both get the hang of how to exploit their shared or complementary powers!
Personality: Arrogant, determined, chaotic, and empathetic, while Nieuna seems rather abrupt and distracted, she is usually just on the lookout for dangers that might impact her life... oh yeah and that of others okay fine. She only puts on airs about this, without adoring fans who would watch her make grand entrances? Best to be on good terms!
