Dragon |
Name: Varanot
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 13' s / 50' l / 104' ws
*Colors: Midsummer Night, swirled and constantly shifting denim blue, indigo blue, dusty haze, foggy blue-white, and bright cyan; all parts are always changing except eyes and claws, which are uniformly indigo
Features: Moire dragon, four legs with 4 and 3 long finger-like paw-hands, including thumbs on fore, can become bipedal with effort; Skin is hide which sheds and needs some amount of care though as an adult Varanot's is pretty stable; two large leathery wings with 3 visible fingers and strong wrist thumb all with claws; head is wedge shaped with two horns; body is compact and high, tail is thin and unadorned, no other bodily variation
Powers: Winged Flight, with wings as porportionately large as these, Varanot's a tremendously good flier, and does so usually in stormy weather, in the dark, or in urban settings. Even though those wings have a massive spread, she can maneuver in tight locations, though she still does require around 12 feet to squeeze through. She is strong, and can lift anything up to a shipping container in weight, though it must be narrow enough for her to hold on to with her paws.
Teleportation, since this breed is effectively Old World style, she is able to teleport based on clear memories or line of sight locations. While this is a little difficult for SASS to achieve, as he's more used to being told those things himself, he has developed a method of remembering - quite a bit like those found in Pernese dragon classes... Though they blip in and out quickly, where they go when she teleports is... in question. Is it between? where it's chill and empty with the souls of the dead? Is it the Void? Xen? She can do this numerous times in succession for combat, but tends to come away from that quite tired. She'll more normally do it in one long trip and then rely on flight.
Communication, as an old-world derived dragoness, she's able to telepathically communicate with her rider, other dragons, and whoever else she feels like talking to. Her mind is distant sounding, and seems to come from all spaces rather than one direction, and is hella spooky.
*Color Shifting, from her long stint at the Healing Den, even if it's not part of her breed's norm, Varanot's coloration moves constantly, like swirling fog and lights on the water. This effect can be dazzling, confusing, or even nauseating, depending on how quickly it goes, and whether she intends to do any of those things, yes it is under her conscious control, but while she's not thinking about it, there is still a smooth, slow transition visible on all parts of her hide.
Breath Weapon, again since she's been in the Healing Den for nearly 15 years (has it really been that long...) her normally available breath weapon has atrophied. However she's re-learning how to use it, and it's... definitely different than it had been before. She can exhale out a cloud of confusion-inducing particles, maybe they're just shed skin in a clump? Any creature that can breathe or see with organic parts will be briefly dazzled by this, for around 5 minutes, after which they may vomit or be a bit dizzy. She's going to work on the length of dazzling, and in conjunction with her skin coloration changes, attempt to have a double-whammy for putting enemies in a time-out while others do more damage.
Parentage: Unknown; this is an old-world based dragon, so she will lay eggs that require a bond at hatching, though they might not need one 'forever', her breed has been known to wander without bonds
Origin: gift from Moire from around 2003?
Other Info: Adept at night and twilight flights, she's quiet and sure. But she can be very noisy if she finds something amusing. Her bond with SASS is secure, she is quite protective of him, and thinks there's more to him than his classmates and even the Rookery knows. |
