Powers: Winged Flight, though quite small by his species standards Portal is as good a flier as he can be. Though he can only lift perhaps two human-sized weights, he does so without difficulty and can fly just as well with or without. Not speedy, but very agile in the air, Portal is able to direct his flight extremely well, because portals are dangerous if you hit them wrong.
Teleportation, portal based; somehow Portal has the ability to produce openings between two locations, Portals, hovering improbably in the air. These resemble those made by the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, in that they have obvious 'blue and gold' rims (probably due to speed / dimension shifts) but they are not reliant on being popped onto a stable surface. These portals are also much larger than the device's, though he can make them large or small at will, depending on the needs of the moment. Usually if he's to fly through them, they will be around 20 feet across - they are actually more circular than shown, though too, he can alter their aperture dimension and shape from round to a narrow slit. (more like a cat's eye, rather than a camera shutter.) These portals are quickly made and equally gone - he must concentrate on keeping one open if someone else is using it, otherwise it vanishes the moment he himself moves through it or wants to shut it down. Like Varigate, Portal can use these offensively as well as defense, or just to pop around wherever he can see. Their range is 'unlimited', though he has trouble sometimes, he can create a portal somewhere just based on a picture, video feed, or mental image. (He knows that those Pernese or 'old world' dragons do that, but he's not from their world and gene pool, this is new to him.) Within that however, the portal instantly transfers whatever's on one side, to the other. Unlike the hand-held device, though, he can't just 'leave one open somewhere' and open the second later - he has to have two and they will generally be 'one right next to him and another where he sees'.
Communication; Portal doesn't speak much if at all, only Varigate has heard his voice, aside from the odd chittering and keening sounds that he makes with his antennae while hunting. He can understand basically anything that's spoken, and is trying to learn symbols and letters. He also does have a Vortal sense and can listen to strongly spoken telepathy, but cannot pry into private conversations. He is said to have a strange vibrating Vortal presence, by those who can detect such things.
Silk Production, nope - it's possible that his portal making is a very, very mutated form of silk. Let's go with that.
Parentage: Unknown, and it's even possible that this Pantalan dragon wasn't born on that world at all.** That is true, and some of his powers may be because his mother Solaris has spent time in a Vortal construct outside of any dimension!

Other Info: Portal knows that he's a bit weird even for his own kind of dragon, but that won't stop him from integrating both into Carramba's dragon program, or the Rookery. In fact he knows he's welcome there, and has taken instruction from Chell and a few others who use portals just like his only they're so tiny how can they even! |
