Name: Sal

Gender: Male, pan

Age/DOB: 40? Unknown dob

Origin: Aperturth, Carnies (no specific location)

Family: Born into the Carnival, he considers all of them and now the hippies to be family; definitely has at least two children among them including Calypso with Crystal and Dandy with Destiny

Other: Probably has had other kids on various Carnival journeys, in a number of other cities, but doesn't know any

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 155, slender and wiry, not bulky in the slightest, had a good run as an acrobat until an accident

Hair: Rich reddish brown, heavy and wavy, kept short but often quite wild looking; has impressive sideburns and a barker's mini mustache

Eyes: brightly blue, evenly shaded, almost robin's egg blue

Appearance: fair skinned that borders on pallid, with numerous small scars including a bad rope burn around one leg from having fallen through a net and gotten tangled, this ended his acrobatic career; he walks with a very slight limp, and occasionally sports a walking cane which most folks think is just for show as he also uses it to wave and point

Genetic Abilities: unknown, though a strong and attentive empathy may be why a lot of people outright follow his orders; from cheering at the right time to casting their gaze around a tent, it's not an accident that he was chosen after his injury, to hawk wares and introduce acts

Icarus Processing: none, though if he were to have it done it might strongly increase his empathic or crowd controls; Melissa says that his children show great promise and she wants to experiment with blending his genes with existing Pantheon

Skills or Profession: Former acrobat, so he knows little fear at heights or swinging around, and thus his skill at riding dragons is hampered only by his bum leg. He is quite adept at knots, escape art, tumbling that doesn't involve slamming his leg, and is good at rope tricks. Has a strong speaking and acting voice, and can throw his voice well. He learns names and skill expectations of people quickly, so he has a good logistics focus. Also he is just charming, and people do like to follow his lead. He knows when to delegate, in fact that's pretty much what he's done all his life.
Personality: Strong willed, but knew when to admit defeat at the brutal injury that shattered his leg. He hides the pain he's in pretty well, but any empath nearby will sense it. He's quite open and frank about himself, he doesn't like keeping secrets aside from those that carnies usually do: how to do stage magic, misdirection, and the like are all among those. Sal is a very typical barker, he's used to repeating himself, but being quite clear and to the point when necessary. Also he is considered a stunning lover, and doesn't hesitate to take on romantic or sexual encounters with... well, basically everyone.
Events or History: Currently residing at the Lane Mansion's Coffee Grounds, in the Carnie Hub, his own caravan set up in the center of things as it normally would be if they'd set up camp for a show. However, he often will take short walks or more likely flights with Green Tea to the gardens, fields, and other encampments to make sure everyone is on the same page. Since he's not really up to fighting, he does take on other tasks, but he's honestly getting a bit bored.

Dragon

Name: Green Tea
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: 11' s / 46' l / 90' ws
Colors: belly from chin to under tail tip medium bright green; face, limbs medium green; face armor, leg armor, neck, back, tail darker green with brighter random splotch markings, wing arms medium to darkish green; wingsails solid medium green slightly darker on dorsal side and toward edges, with bright and highly visible white stars; horns, spikes, claws lighter green; eyes brilliant turquoise, tongue mottled green (*)
Features: Nightwing, though quite oddly colored overall so may have some rainwing in her line?
Powers: Winged Flight, a burly dragoness, Green Tea is strong in the air but not particularly fast nor durable. She can lift heavy weights for short distances, though she can carry numerous human-sized things at any time for any distance without tiring. She is elegant, able to hover and posture in the air, and is able to land on narrow or improbable surfaces without harming them, though she does then need a bit of space to take off or slide down.
Communication, (*) as a Nightwing her ability to speak telepathically is quite strong, and like Sal she tends to keep track of everyone around her in this manner, giving him notes about dragon moods or activities. Her range on this is around 10 miles, more than enough to cover the entire Grounds and a little into the wilderness around them. She and Sal have an intimate Vortal bond, and she's commented to others that he is quite charming and able, she worries for his frustration at old injuries keeping him from being more active. Verbally she can speak English and Draconic, and understands but doesn't try to speak Vortigese - she actually does just telepathically talk to any Vorts around without the bother of sounding out foreign words.
Heat Breath, though most Nightwings are gifted with true firebreath, Green Tea has a more subdued ability with it, though still useful. Her breath comes in the form of a gentle and fragrant warmth, she can lay a cone of this or lines just like any normal fire, and passing through it seems to both calm and physically revitalize people. Just like her namesake, honestly. The warmth lasts about 10 minutes, but she can refresh it at any time. She doesn't bother trying to do it any farther away than maybe 20 meters, claiming she doesn't want to 'warm the flies and mosquitoes up'.

Other Info: Gentle and genial, but still with enough energy to spare, Green Tea is as much a dragon 'barker' as Sal is to humans. Because Sal can't go out into the field particularly, he does try to give boosting words and cheer them on, and she does the same toward her draconic kinfolk. Her voice carries, but her Vortal voice is more accurate - and always honest. Also of note, she does have a distinctive smell, just like the freshly plucked tea leaves from numerous gardens around the Grounds.
