Dragon |
Name: Lequth
Gender: fluid, no preference until a potential partner of either gender may show up, which is not entirely likely, they/them
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium, 9'10" s / 45' l / 70' ws
Colors: Radiant Purple, body mainly a vibrant purple danced with opalesence catching the light, and with neon green on back feathers from forehead to tail tip, and along wing shoulders of both sets of wings; horns, claws, and wingtips frosty white
Features: Opal Court as shown, with two pairs of horns in different shapes, two sets of feathered wings one much larger and flight-capable, and clawed paws, tail is unadorned
Powers: Winged Flight, Lequth is sleek and sure in the air, but not fancy. Since they're pretty decently large they can help move a few people or gear here and there, but no one expects such a fancy dragon to be doing that!
Teleportation, Lequth's accuracy in teleporting from one rooftop to the next is quite impressive, and sometimes you can only tell where they are, by the violet-shaded blur they've left behind. They concentrate on local short range teleportation but can exert some effort and move nearly 100 miles up or down the coast, into the hills nearby to Wonder, or other locations known to them without getting winded when they arrive
Telepathy and Verbal Speech, Lequth's mind is busy but clear, and claims that Lishan's is also similarly vibrant. Their kind of busy just 'clicks', and their mind is enjoyable to Lishan's 'ears'. Their voice is also bubbly but can hiss and be somewhat menacing when things are going badly for anyone
Discern Truth and Lies, Trance, and Genetic Memory; Lequth is markedly adept at understanding how people perceive their own truth and falsehoods, and generally responds to things only when they are not internally consistent. When someone 'knows it's a lie' but states something as truth, that's not going to fly with Lequth at all. Whether it's a white lie, which won't do harm in the short term but might be a disaster later, or a bold-as-brass tall tale that has little bearing on reality - those are going to be treated very differently. From a mere nod and glare as an 'I see that shit', or a scoffing pffff audible to everyone nearby, on up to waiting for exactly the right moment to reintroduce the actual truth someone is spinning, it will depend on the severity and the purpose of the lies, whether Lequth does anything at all. Their time is largely spent in trance doing fact-checking, and in fact adding to the genetic memory of their kind.
Karmic Weight, if someone really lets off a stupid doozy of a lie, Lequth does nothing but watch because it won't need their interference to come to a halt. But if someone is doing bad things long-term and covering their tracks, knowing that if they get caught things will collapse? Lequth will consult with whoever is appropriate be they a campus legal rep, or more serious agencies, and Lishan and they will do their best to make sure that those people get punished. If needed, this might include simply getting caught on camera shoplifting, or having a sudden alibi pipe up to exonerate from a false accusation. No 'rocks fall everyone dies' karma here, but if you're building a house of cards, be prepared for some papercuts...
Kismet, it's fine if we're late to this party, turns out that the pizza guy was stuck in traffic and we didn't get started until you showed up!
Prismatic Breath, usually according to their main coloration, Lequth can give off a violet colored breath weapon that seems to be filled with glitter flakes, and this may literally blind a person or creature causing them to be subdued more easily. They can direct this beam into a very narrow area and keep anyone else out of the line of fire, but prefers not to use this in a crowd lest innocents get hurt
Parentage: unknown Court based DNA, unrelated to others in the Opal court, will breed with specific traits carrying depending on their partner
Origin: Nidus Asteri, Opal Court, by Dragonflight
Other Info: Lequth likes listening in to classroom antics when it is 8th Period fiction time! Some students who know about Lequth's abilities put them to the test, trying to write things as accurately to themselves as possible, and have sometimes requested help with creating long storylines that don't conflict. Lequth has seriously considered a paying job doing copy editing for this reason
