Surf, Skate, Sled +6 Everything about this birb has been centered around sports involving riding something flat or rolling around. His professional skating and board career wasn't cut short because of injuries, but because he was seeing a few kids ditching class to attend events, and saw too much of himself in them to let that slide

Flight Is Living +5 Spending equal amounts of time in the water, air, or ground, Wavehawk still knows how amazing it is to just not be on the ground and will take flight if he spots something with his keen eyes. He's not durable enough to have become a 'hero' but he is lightning-fast and first on the scene if something is going on halfway across town

Marketing +2 Since he was a teenager he's always been good at spotting a way to make a buck, but also how to continue doing so

Concentrated Learning +3 He could jam before class to understand a week's worth of studies enough to get a passing grade, even if he didn't actually attend more than a couple of those classes that week. Now, this served him very well in college since he would take single-course sessions with the intent of graduating and expanding his career. He still likes learning this way, rather than spreading out too much different information over a day or week

Encouraging Teacher +3 He passes along what he knows, from life lessons to balance and anticipation of motion, with ease and a beaky grin. Even those who need more effort to keep up with a class will find themselves not in a hot seat but a gentle spotlight

Name: Sled-flip
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium 10'7" s (wing wrist to body) / 26' l / 43' ws

Features: As shown, Schattarneki Whale dragon
Powers: Winged Flight and Water Navigation - that one day he emerged from the bay and took wing, was a bold move, and he's hardly ever slowed down. I mean, if you slow down too much you can't fly... He's fast and powerful in the air, because he was fast and powerful under the waves. With strength enough to move quickly in the choppy waves or in deep currents, Sled-flip can do the same moves above and below the water, and loves it when his partner in crime Wavehawk flies with him! They've even got a surf trick on the way...
Telepathy and Verbal Speech - he attended classes at the Dome from the time he was brought to Crescent City, and has always loved both listening in and being included in conversations whether they're internal or vocal. He has a strong and loud voice, used to booming over the waves to reach the shore or even under them to talk to the dolphins in their own tongue. He actually speaks several more languages than his bond, but also this allows him to translate for Waverlin if needed
Water Manipulation - magically manipulate preexisting sources of water. This includes water vapor and solid ice, though they cannot cause state transitions on their own. They cannot control temperature, only physical matter. This has kept people alive at times, and helps create the illusion of danger when they're working in the wave pool on campus, with effects of riptide in a more safe environment or a quick snowfall aided by the local thermostat...
Breath Weapon (burning mist) - it's not clear whether he uses this to hunt or as a defensive mechanism, but it works best on the beach rather than under the waves, and is a close range distraction at most

Other Info: Half Schattarneki so those big wing fins didn't mature until adulthood, but once they have... hooo boy!
