Demlemek Ventul and FizzPop Nightspark

Name: Demlemek Ventul ('brew' / Turkmen)
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: large 23's / 82' l / 100' ws | 6'5" tall as humanoid
Colors: Caramel body with stripes on back/tail and point fades on face, feet, and tail end of cardinal purple (dark violet-brown); fur/feathers on chest black-bean coffee brown; wingsails vanilla tan, with papaya whip off-white and paler vanilla feathers; vanilla armor and tail spade; bright green gem and eyes, light claws and horns
Features: Mutt (Makanan Asandus+, Lvarian, Drak, Hydra (!), Avyndal, RysHathian, Senaerren) four legs with armored paw digits, two feather and sailed combo wings, large head with external ears, gem inset, armor, two back pointing upswept horns on head and two spikes on jaw, neck and chest/upper body have a lot of feathery-furry floof, tail large rudder-like spade
Powers: Winged Flight - eagerly reaching amazing heights and doing speed dives only to come to an abrupt halt with nary a feather out of place, Demlemek enjoys her time in the air particularly during storms or high winds. Oh those warm winds from the desert mix with the cool breezes coming off the ocean and cause such fun storms! Since she is a large dragoness she can fit quite a lot of gear, people, or even other dragons sometimes onto her shoulders or neck fluff, and is responsible for carrying the various mobile kiosks the Caffetorium uses in off-campus events to and from their destinations. Even if she's huge she has a very stable flight, thanks in no small part to the rudder tail and her adept use of telekinetics to aid her balance
Teleportation - she doesn't tend to use this power as she feels a little shaky: if she can't use her telekinetics to balance what happens if she comes out halfway tipped? That's no way to deliver a tray of food or drinks! She can teleport, but prefers someone else to lead the way and latches on mentally to their direction and distance
Communication - using both verbal speech and telepathy, Demlemek issues quick orders and has a keen memory for faces, smells, details, and checklists. She can send out orders using specific mental cues so that only one server or one brewer is 'listening', but also has a very broad and warm mental group-shout. Her physical voice can be very loud indeed, but then again they sometimes attend off-campus rallies or events where there's a big crowd to shout over!
Telekinesis - using this power mainly to keep her balance, both in draconic and bipedal forms, and aid her flight capabilities. Forcing on 'air brakes' and reducing the effects of gusts of wind, or even just making sure that not a drop of precious java is spilled even on a busy dance floor. She can't really lift individual objects if they're too far away from herself, her telekinetics apply mainly to the area immediately nearby (okay she's a large dragon and that area might include an entire person or basket of fresh-ground beans 'per shoulder'), and are largely subconsciously used - she can concentrate on the effect, if someone else's tray is tipping, but only if they're within about 10 meters distance
Functional Magic - similarly used, if someone's coffee is going cold as she's passing by their table, she'll just whip up a little something something and it's steamy again; sometimes used as a filter for various blends of coffee, or to get chaff away from beans or nibs. Generally uses this power while in bipedal form rather than draconic
Weather Magic and Rain Summoning - Demlemek is very much at home in the middle of a storm, and keeps the area clear if there's actual danger. Her ability to move clouds, change pressure areas or radically drop or raise the temperature in a small spot, she knows those things are dangerous in and of themselves so she uses this power well above any people. The effects of her storm changes are temporary but while concentrating, she can affect an area about the size of 'over the large sports stadium' - so she can clear an area of the smoke left over from fireworks, or make a light fog for the laser show, even making a swift and hard rain to clean up or move small trash piles into an easily collected heap with a tiny hurricane.
Human-Dragon Shapeshifting - she is quite comfortable standing on two feet as well as four, but she definitely keeps some of her 'extras' intact just to make sure people know it's still her doing the serving at their table. She holds herself with strength and confidence, and can lift a truly hefty amount of weight even as a biped - just make sure the area is clear so she has a good path if she can't see, the kiosk or the trash bin might be lifted easily but where to put it down is what someone else has to guide...
> Her family has access to other abilities such as 'holy magic' or healing, paralysis or acid weapons, but she does not use these

Other Info: As a lot of other dragons have discovered this thing that the bipeds enjoy, "coffee", she's made the effort to move into the Caffetorium's routine and provides both brewing and service work. She seems more mature than her partner FizzPop, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love to get zippy over the ocean and do tricks with him in the air! He can dodge lightning, she can create it! Now if only he'd help with the pickup after the Big Game...

Name: FizzPop Nightspark
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium (long) 50' l / 35' ws | 6'2" tall humanoid
Colors: dark brown body and legs with stripes of caramel-brown-bronze on face, head, neck, body and tail, with pale cream spots on dark areas, and darker brown spots on light ones; wing arm sails, toe webbing, and dorsal fin sails mottled cream-foam; spines, horns, and tail spade silvery grey; eyes blue
Features: LochNex Mutt, very long noodle with forearm fin-wings having three fingers, 2 internal, and a wrist nub-thumb; two skinny back legs with long webbed toes; face is chompy-beaked with crest starting there, two back-pointing horns; dimorphic, females and nbs lack crest webs or spines
Powers: Wingless Flight - able to move through the air like a ribbon on the wind, FizzPop is a dramatic and showy flier indeed, spending a lot of time floofing around in the Cafetorium's steam cloud and stirring it up; could carry things but they'd just slip off so he tends to just be the message bearer rather than the waiter...
Water Adaptation - swims amazingly well, and prefers fresh water to salty, and does not mind the cooling tower's resource water at all! It's fizzy! (it is radioactive, but no one's ever gotten sick from it right?). Definitely likes the shallow ends of things because he wants to be seen and heard!
Teleportation - in case the water or steam ever does get to be a bit much, FizzPop is able to teleport up to 500 meters in a jaunt, and tends to leave a loud pop in his wake
Communication - with the ability to speak in words as well as telepathically, FizzPop is one to be able to get his point across very well indeed. His mental contact feels like a bright splash of water - flicked from fingers perhaps? on the mind... Combined with his breed's naturally high intelligence, he takes orders from virtually any species in their native language and can convey just exactly what the drink should taste like to the brewers in the back room. He also is able to sing and beatbox much to the Caffetorium's enjoyment, normally this would be of use to commune with his distant family members, and yup the ones around Carramba certainly recognize it's him when he starts up
Shapeshifting - can modestly move parts around, as sometimes he wants actual fingers on those wings, or reduce the dorsal fins just above his shoulders so that passengers can sit somewhat comfortably; also he can shift into an anthropomorphic biped, and in that case his forelimbs do act as bat-wing type fingers, though he does have to concentrate on it becuase needless to say 2 foot long fingers are a bit weird already... He can maintain this bipedal form for a decent amount of time, long enough to actually be of use in the Cafetorium during a rush but he almost always mysteriously can't stand up any more when it comes time to load the dishwasher...
Assisted Firebreath - available only when out of the water, he's been known to chew a teensy bit of coal or 'firestone' whatever rock is on hand that still reacts with his natural glands, and burps out sparkly fireworks about 15 feet across, ones that are suspiciously loud; he doesn't have much offensive capability beyond that, it's not flame breath it's little sparkles...

Other Info: while it's obvious that the cooling tower aka Java Cup in the center of campus is certainly part of the power supply for the entire area, what's less obvious is that the pool in it is actually very safe. It's occasionally a little on the hot side (when the science and engineering departments are doing experiments) so at that point FizzPop just floats up and out, draping himself over the lip of it, and watching the goings-on below. Though he's certainly interested in the classes down there, he's not really well-suited to being an actual student. He is taking one or two night-courses at C4, mainly for food or cultural studies, language, and the like. He and Demlemek get along very well, and serve the draconic portion of the coffee-drinking campus attendees as well as the regular students and staff.
