Powers	Water Adapted - obviously a waterborn and water-loving dragoness, Jazz is able to dive and speed through virtually any kind of water, with the exception of very polluted bodies of it, and prefers the salt water of an ocean to anything else Teleportation - surprising no one, she can teleport straight up out of the water, with a blob of seawater hovering around herself, and use the gravity of a world to just slam straight into the sea once more, splashing everything around. She absolutely loves doing this, and has been known to teleport from the deeper ocean into the shallows of Crescent's bay and just douse several dozen families at once; she wouldn't do this if it would endanger anyone, and will certainly apologize if any damage happens Telepathy, High Intelligence - anyone who has felt the brushing of her mind knows she's got a bite to her intellect, always looking to see another angle or spice things up with new information. She loves finding people with differing views, but doesn't like arguing with them. She'll hear them out and then just never bother to get back to them or even use their information to help those who she fears might be endangered by their mood or actions. Those who have lingered in her mind more deeply will see right away that she 'stores' information about people in a way that greatly resembles sheet music, with people and moods, and notations about their impact on her and others around them; she also has 'nicknames' for people or creatures, events, and the like, done with her voice rather than mind. She can use both her mind and her voice to speak English, several kinds of local Draconic depending on who's in class, and a scattering of non-English words based again on who's around, not all of them safe for work Musical Emulation - this is truly where she shines and where she concentrates most of her energy at school. Jazz is not an 'overachiever' nor a show-off particularly, she wants to have everyone working at their best, and likes to listen to other musicians and students to offer gentle opinions or boost their morale, helping out where needed and backing off when asked; her gamut of sounds is quite staggering, however, and she loves both super-low-frequency sounds like you'd hear if you're a whale, upbeat singing and guitar, and hyper-sonic bat-songs, all with equal fervor and performance ability. Jazz does know better than to let loose with a massive booming tone anywhere near sensitive equipment or glass, or people who might get hurt, but she can provide a bass beat and interesting burbling from half a mile away and deeply under water with a performance that's up on a stage on shore... Breath Weapon - Assisted Firebreath -.... Now look, you'd think that a dragon whose breath weapon requires both oxygenated / nitrogen based air and a catalyst chemical would be discouraged from using it or even bothering with it under water. That is not the case. Jazz has it in her head that she can and will eventually light a big flame while under water and she's constantly trying this. It's a good thing that the chemicals are easily found both in the Chem lab at school and ... well, other places if you know what I mean. She's been thinking... there are people with skills and tools, what if she had a scuba tank or something attached to her head? That would allow her to trigger it and let off her own already-gassed up belching!? She saw the Ontogeny Dome's support structure being worked on underwater, and just knew she could do the same thing (only she doesn't exactly have the refinement of an underwater-specific arc welder)(.... yet) Elemental Control - Electric Body Charge - doesn't particularly use this except when she's hungry, and will go into deep water where there is plenty of food swimming around, jolt herself and just scoop up the stunned or dead fish for a snack
Clusters	Music Is Her Life +3 She knows Jazz is her name, but it's also a lifestyle. There are so many kinds of it, from synth-pop to throat singing to Betelgeusian friction stammers, and all of it available right here in Carramba's music library isn't that great?
Skills	Not Harm Innocents +3 Jazz is well aware that she's not a small kid in school, she's a big dragon compared to most in her grade, and is quite careful even when she's been moved on land into the water-based dragon portion of the school. When she's out in open water, too, she likes to make sure that she's not causing trouble for fishermen or surfers alike (but she definitely will 'accidentally' whoops a sand castle because where's the fun if not rebuilding?) Perfect Attendance +2 Jazz wants to succeed, and likes to listen in on all the juicy gossip as well, so she's at school a little early, and stays behind a little late. What else does she have to do beyond that? Homework is handled on-site, she finishes it promptly and makes sure it's handed (flippered) in before leaving; she loves going on field trips, and looks forward to a day when she can lead a journey around the coastline to visit outdoor music venues that are performing on the water's edge! Too Clever By Half +2 Her ideas about music are one thing, but she also has a strong desire to be something akin to a superhero, though not one that flies through the air punching bad guys. Well she'd punch a bad guy if she thought they could take it... So she's also keeping tabs on superheroic classes, helping out with mockups of rescue missions and the like, and also has been on hand when the Talon City Dragon Department has done presentations, realizing that they lack a proper 'lifeguard' section! Maybe that's for her? And she can 'moonlight' as a crooner!
Knacks	Passes Notes In Class +3 The notes she passes can be heard by specific people, if they know what to listen for. A simple hummed tune might actually mean 'get your homework done quick' or 'teacher's out today sub's a meanie' Will Definitely Become A Lifeguard +1 Even with a career plotted out in music, Jazz is equally enamored of, though not yet experienced with, life saving techniques and tactics both on shore and off. The TCDD will encourage if not outright sponsor her participation in their work, and by the time she graduates there will probably also be several other dragons in the water with their eye on swimmers and ships

Other Info	(from info block) As LochNex are a sexually dimorphic breed, LochNex Mutt Males have a long eel fin type crest from forehead to the spiked fan at their hips. Females have sharp Ryslenesque crests separate from the spiked fan at their hips. Both have fluffy white tufts at the tips of their ears and tail. Their hides are not limited to blue/green/purple/grey like the LochNex, but span the spectrum of Alskyrian and Pernese colors, and then some. They all have eyes with green irises They are supremely graceful in the water but ungainly on land. They cannot fly, but are good at soaring leaps. Living Preferences: Will prefer to live in areas with large bodies of water. Can happily accept fresh, brackish or salt water. Just so long as they're deep enough to swim in. Diet: Fish and water plants are preferred, but they are omnivorous and can eat all plants and animals generally considered edible. Bonding: Can bond, but don't need to.
