Powers Telepathy (superficial, close), though not all that remarkable particularly compared to any of his clone siblings, Shale's ability to read immediate thoughts has saved him a lot of trouble and effort at times. What song to play next, what items on the takeout chart, which person is planning to ask another out... This only works on easily read minds, so anyone with Vortal protection or skill can be a blank slate to him, must be within 10 meters.
Empathy (strong, group), this one's much stronger however, as even Vortally skilled people cannot avoid being sensed by Shale. You can put on as happy a face as you'd like but he will know that something's wrong. It works best with a larger group such as a theater show or club, or a classroom, but fades as distance is also a factor and can't be used more than 25 meters away no matter how many stragglers are out there.
Genrehop, given that his genetics include 'hole diving' between dimensions, Shale is able to actually seek out and move through self-produced holes in the fabric of spacetime. He has known destinations such as the North Aperture facility where he was created, Zekiran studios where his father is known to haunt, Twoarth and Carramba of course, but also Xen and several fringe Ending destinations one of which is where his father's actually from. This doesn't take any more effort than running up a couple flights of stairs, so he can in fact make it out to a very far distant plane, and come back with flowers or sludge for his current partner, without them thinking he's doing anything more than washing his hands...
Emotions Through Sound, Shale can sigh and the world will sigh with him. He doesn't have to be singing, or even playing an instrument: every sound has meaning to him, and he can enforce that meaning on nearby people. It's not truly emotion control, but more like an emotional flag pole on which flies any given banner.
Siren-like singing, that said, he is a siren. Very clearly, he can speak words of power and carry people along on journeys that they have no idea they were in for. Most people cannot resist this effect, it takes a particularly sour disposition (he's looking directly at you, Olive, you wet rag) or remarkably deaf individual to ignore or shrug off the effects when he wants to 'guide' someone. He can act as a sort of pied piper, leading a group along oblivious to the dangers around them and keep them from interacting with those dangers, or weave a single person's imagination into complex worlds that they will swear are real. He can also use this sound to attract dangers to himself, though he's hardly likely to do that, he's not remarkably brave...

Story

Dragon

Name: Paegyongumak (soundtrack), Umak these days
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 10' s / 30' l / 50' ws
Colors: base shiny medium brown with rich black markings; feather chest, neck, wings dark grey; feathers on wings pale white-gold; wingsails, back of neck, ankle and tail tufts silver white; eyes rich blue, claws black, antlers ivory
Features: Winter Gift Deer Dragon, four legs hind hoof and fore clawed with thumbs; body is warmly furry; two combination wings with feather arms and flight feathers, plus 3 visible wing fingers with short claws, and sails; head is very deer-like with muzzle, face markings, external ears, and a fused antler horn with plenty of bling; neck and chest are feathered, neck also has line of extra fluff, body is quite high with long deer like legs, and tail splits with a 'fox' like and a 'spaded' both having fluff, and legs have heavy feathering
Powers: Winged Flight and Speed, with a nice wingspan and strong keel chest Umak (he prefers this now to his full name, it still means music) is a worthy flier for his size. He knows he's not the fastest of his siblings, nor the strongest in the air. He has never let anyone down, though, and can race on all four feet through complicated scenery and surroundings without even disturbing a leaf.
Teleportation, like some members of his extended family, he is able to just simply zip from one spot to another instantly, no muss no fuss. Umak's preference is short to medium distance bursts to get from one side of a stadium or location to another, listening for sound variance. He can do this interminably, though any longer distance trips will require some recovery time between each.
Communication, like many of his siblings, Umak is gifted with verbal speech, and he uses it to great effect, just like his human bond. He can sing and emulate various voices, and since he also can understand any language he hears more than a few words in, this can be remarkably effective. He can translate for people who need it, and even 'autotune' folks who are not quite on key...
Size and Shape Shifting, though very rarely used in either of these cases, Umak can make himself quite small - under 2 feet at the shoulder - or quite big at around 14' shoulder, in order to get into places, or get out of them, if his current normal size isn't going to do the trick. His shapeshifting is limited to a humanoid form, but he hasn't practiced this like, ever, and he fears he might get stuck if he tries now. But this feature will carry in any offspring he might sire, so there's that.
Telekinesis, like Shale's donor father, Umak is able to use a close range telekinetic power that he can vibrate musical strings, click windchimes, triangles, or other such things without having to need thumbs. This power only works in close proximity, about a 20 meter sphere, which does mean he can come through the music rooms and just make everything go off...
Parentage: S'onmul and Liaxeri with many siblings and relatives including some among the Rookery
Origin: Healing Den Winter gift, abandoned / never put up?
Other Info: What a perfect arrangement they have, because of course any child of Khyrus is musically inclined, and this dragon is very much a lover of fine tunes!
