Particulate Control / Very strong Telekinetics; As her donor mother Isabella can, Hematite is incredibly powerful when it comes to manipulating small or large objects with her mind. She can sense through these 'held' items, and can lift quite a bit more with her power than most body builders can with their muscles. She is limited to 'things she might physically get her arms around', at least in theory, so large barrels and even some metal trash bins yes, but big vehicles and storage containers no. She can however pick up quite a few smaller items without tiring, and can hold on to these things for hours before needing to put them down. Her Particulate control is good for lifting dust and dirt off of materials, she's quite good at clean-room style dusting. She can move a truly massive amount of tiny particles, and condense them until they're a more manageable 'small item', so a room filled with grit and dust from wood shop can become quite clean and spotless with a football sized extremely dense 'almost wood' object when she's done. She doesn't need to see the item she's lifting in this manner, and can in a limited way 'see' through it; more that she uses her Vortal sight to do so, and can continue lifting a small item (under 40 lbs) over 2 miles away before her connection fades. She has been tasked occasionally with running wires and conduit in places that no one can see, in North Aperture, when metal and other shapers aren't available or cannot reach those spots themselves.
Self-Flight; also like her mother, Hematite is an extremely adept flier. She can keep up with Bella and even the dragons, though she does wear out after half an hour. For whatever reason, lifting herself with her telekinetic power is more exhausting than a room full of kids...
Psychic Suite, like almost all of the Pantheon and Color Guard, she has a limited telepathic and empathic power set, though she uses it more frequently and thus has a distinctive 'lighter than air and still slick like a stone' feel to her mind. |

Name: Sanguine Ice
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 10'4" s / 50' l / 100' ws
Colors: Face, neck, belly, under tail, backs of hind legs, and 'racing stripe' dorsal marking extremely bright white; head, neck, forelimbs and wing arms, body, hind limbs and tail extremely bold red; head and neck armor, dorsal armor from body to tail, wing armor darker red; wingsails grade from extremely deep black-red to vibrant blood red; horns, spikes pinkish red; dorsal spines and claws red; eyes icy white
Features: Icewing Skywing hybrid, head, neck, forelimbs including claws extremely Icewing; wings, body, hindlimbs and tail Skywing
Powers: Winged Flight, an absolute master of flight, can achieve both extraordinary speed as well as attaining stupidly high altitude, Sanguine is a flashy sort who prefers to do his stunts closer to the ground where everyone can see him. He is unafraid to do really dangerous stunts, and sometimes gets to say 'well you can't see the bleeding because it's the same color as my scales' after scraping through a ruin or getting hit by shrapnel. He suggests that if Hematite ever has to ride him, that she do so between his horns because he doesn't want her blood on him.
Communication, Sanguine is a talker, too, just listen to him rattle off his achievements? He's not a braggart - he doesn't make stuff up, but he has done some remarkable and insane stunts. He knows words for most of them, including lots of sports terms in English. He speaks fluent English and Draconic, and understands a decent amount of Vortigese. He and his human share their mind space with Red Rain, they have a unique understanding among them.
Frozen Flame; Skywings are well known for their heat and flames, and Icewings for their chilly breath. When combined, this dragon can create 'pockets' of fire that is incredibly hot - but only after its thin frozen shell breaks on something. So yes, he's lobbing 'fire grenades', which cause the icy shell to break into tiny shrapnel pieces, though they don't tend to last very long they are immune to his own fire's heat. The fire inside then basically explodes outward just like a grenade. He can huck these things out of his mouth with serious accuracy, though only short distances of less than 30 meters for real effect. They can be stored for a few minutes, so he can belch up a few dozen of them and then watch as Hematite levitates them off to the front lines for a carpet-bomb fest.
Cold and Altitude Adaptation; because the air is thin and the upper atmosphere is quite chill, his Icewing side just loves it up there. He can and does dive into the open ocean, though doesn't particularly get along with really frozen or slushy waters, and has an innate distrust of deep water such as Rapture's surroundings. If he can't see the surface, he doesn't dive, but that does leave quite a bit of swimming to be done.
Parentage: Unknown Icewing sire and Skywing mother, and will absolutely pair up with Red Rain, they really do make a perfect couple. (Additionally, however, he does hook up with Warning Signs, Laila's one dragon, their offspring is **, the mother of Flamegust in The Finest)

Other Info: Though much bigger than his lovely mate, Sanguine is quite careful not to harm her or their human friend. His claws aren't truly as sharp as an Icewing's might be but they're still able to rip through nearly anything soft and he does love his soft girls. |
Dragon |
Name: Red Rain
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Small 7'8" s / 34' l / 82' ws
Colors*: chin, neck, belly, backs of limbs, and under tail extremely velvet-black, so dark you can't see details at all; Face including ears and neck frill spikes two-toned grey marked; Face armor, horns, claws, limb armor and dorsal ridges extremely red; neck, limbs, body, tail scales strong red; spot scales generally pink; wingsails and neck fins slightly graded dusty red with strong soot black mottling; eyes vibrant ruby red
Features: Pure Rainwing
Powers: Winged Flight; Rain is super quick in the denser underbrush and forest canopy, and loves doing stunts in urban settings. Unlike her bigger companion she has never been known to hit a branch or piece of rebar, even in hectic or dangerous situations where escape was unclear. She has an incredibly quick eye for navigation, and doesn't hesitate to use her tail on sturdy branches, pieces of building, or power poles to swing around quite suddenly. This breakneck speed can only be kept up for a short period, but that's long enough to set records in dragon classes, and absolutely long enough to evade a Combine squad. She isn't good in open skies, feeling extremely exposed, so she sticks to the lower areas and shelters.
Communication; though certainly quieter than Sanguine, Red Rain doesn't think he should get all the interviews! She does like to humble-brag. Her voice is quick, it's often hard to catch everything she says, so when she has to go over it again it's often with an eye roll and sigh. She has a decent enough vocabulary though not a technical one, and understands only English and Draconic. She has a strong mental and emotional connection to her human and dragon companions, but cannot speak to anyone else Vortally.
*Color Shifting; as a Rainwing typically is able to change the color of their scales, Red Rain can do so, but only to a small extent. She tends to concentrate on those pink spots on her sides and limbs, flashing them in extremely bright white or red, and if she tries hard enough she can make the color go a bit 'lambda orange' for her Rookery friends to take note. Her face markings, however, seem to do whatever they want to: they're a dead giveaway for her emotions, and she doesn't even bother trying to hide it. She's no stoic type, after all, and if something makes her afraid or angry she'll clearly show it in full color. The rest of her scales don't shift at all, apparently, so she's always basically red and black with some splashed lights.
Prehensile Tail, Very Venom Much Ow; Her tail however is very much a strong part of her workout routine, and she can delicately manipulate things with it, even small items though nothing human sized like a pen or something. Give her a thick painter's brush, however, and she can make gorgeous calligraphy just like her human! (She's considered learning Chinese or Japanese just to have the right brush strokes for those Lunar New Year and other celebration banners.) Her venom is what might be called 'brightly painful', if any given animal shows its colors as a warning, hers are there for a reason. The venom will be extremely painful for more than half an hour for any horse-sized creature that she has to bite, and while it won't kill a human-sized one, they will absolutely want to die. While prey is rolling around screaming, she will take the opportunity to murder it thank you stop squirming now.
Parentage: Unknown pure Rainwings, unrelated to others on the Rookery, and will definitely want to have eggies with Sanguine isn't he amazing?

Other Info: Yes they pretty much are the Quarterback and Head Cheerleader, why do you ask? |
