Weapons and Armor Skills: Like most Griffs, Din is not adept with physical weaponry or armor. However he can use psionics and the elements to his advantage, and no one expects how quickly he can dive-bomb a massive elk or snow-bear, ripping it apart with talons and beak. He uses his hind paws to defend should he ever encounter something that actually has him in its clutches, raking with horrible effect at weak spots and wriggling out of its grasp. Unlike some bird types, he will not use his wings to 'snap' at enemies, his owl-based bird parts would be ill suited to this.

History: Where he has been, has been 'all over the place'. When the Gelgelans arrived, he took note: their volcanic island simply hadn't existed until 'now', and where there is volcanic activity, he knows, may be beautiful gems, obsidian, and other such useful things - including the tall, rugged caldera rim itself, now covered in yearly snow. After having been on a 'world tour' eastward along the entire mountainous spine of Dragondeep's continent, while at the Necromancer's realm he plotted how best to reach this new weird glimmer on his psionic eye. He made the over-sea trip easily, his air elemental power boosting the winds in his favor for several thousand miles. He woudn't like dropping into the ocean, but he did rest a day or so on a particularly southerly ice floe. He knows the way back to the mainland from this place, though it would be a harder flight because the winds definitely do not favor going back the way he came, so it'd be a more simple flight toward the south-west. However, while that does bring him over the Never Ending Grotto (where he also has spent time now), to reach the actual continent means he'd have to fly over the Gods' Tears and he will not want to do that more than once.
He did discover that these Gelgelans, Wyldkin-looking people, had brought with them dragons. Not of this world, absolutely different than anything he'd ever seen. There were leathery winged ones, long skinny skake like ones, and... a few that even resembled Griffs. One in particular nosed up to him, with a snout equally reptilian and cervine in appearance. Antlers grew from his head, along with a massive plume of storm-grey feathers. He had known Griffs with plumage like that, in fact quite a lot of these lovely feathers on the 'dragon' seemed similar to the Griffin Queen herself. But clearly this wasn't a Griff. Din remains unconvinced that Starioq is even a dragon, but hey, he's not a demon or fey, so at least they've got that going for them. Together, this dramatically white and black pair maintain and watch over the highest reaches of the Eminence, offering warnings or rescues for the occasional cliff fall or avalanche.
Dragon:
| Dragon | Name: Starioq "starry ock" Gender: Male Size: small (long) 7' s/ 40' l / 40' ws Build: long and lean, more tail than anything else Physical/Breed Features: canine-like high-hipped body and paws, deer-like neck and antlers with a bit of long-mouthed snub-nosed reptile face, pheasant tailed and frilled neck, very large crest feathers, and back feathers that appear to aid in balancing; he does have wings but they are short and curved, like a ground-bird's Colors: all shades of darker grey, black, and soft white, faintly dappled underparts Stats: Strength 4, Speed 5, Endurance 4, Agility 6, Health 2, Intelligence 5 Abilities: Winged Flight, though he has a pheasant's short wings, he can still fly for reasonable distances, however he prefers short flights under half a mile, and can hop from one cliff to another breaking his fall or catching a little breeze easily; he doesn't carry things unless it's an emergency, but can hold a rescued person or a camping supply basket if they're heading downwards, and requires air magic to boost if they have to go up with it Ground Agility, in the trees and cliffs of the Eminence as well as mainland Dragondeep should he ever visit it, Starioq is gifted with a swift run, easily dodging things, and able to almost scamper up trees like a squirrel Verbal Speech, eloquent and seemingly learned, Starioq has a voice that can mock or emulate almost like a magic spell to disguise it, talking in the high chitters of song birds or the deep shrieking of a bull elk, he knows several variations on the common tongues of Dragondeep at this point, so he's the one doing any extensive communication when they're in town Animal Elemental Psionics, if it is not sentient or humanoid, it's his to command. Pretty much everything from the eagles soaring overhead, to the squirrels in the shrubs, deer and dogs alike, are willing to accept him as their leader, their partner, their instructor, or their guardian - and he can will them to essentially do anything for him. He is thankfully not a cruel master of such things, though he will definitely pit angry wolves against each other to allow a traveling group to escape their fangs. He does his own hunting, and will cause a prey animal to sleep or be calm while he's sinking his teeth into its throat, he doesn't care for all the residual emotional baggage that comes with terror or anger. He can sense birds or beasts within about half a mile, but only commands birds and mammals, reptiles and fish can be sensed but not commanded in this manner. Able to detect the weak one in a herd, or an animal that's protecting its young, he recommends people steer clear or specifically points out those to make sure that a herd is culled properly, or that a den isn't missing its mother. Parents: Unknown, offworld dragons - not certainly related to others, but might be! Origin: Adopted from and Art By Noxeri on Deviantart Bond: Dinviluse Meeting Notes: as above, Starioq appeared with the Gelgelans, though it's unlikely that he actively traveled with them. Merely showing up due to the massive fluctuations in magic and spacetime there, riding the wake of a strange Nexus quake of some kind. While he doesn't mind the people down in the lowlands or in their weird cities, he too prefers being up in the hills, into the mountainous peak, and on the thick forest floor under the canopy of snow |
