Sangers Can Be Quite Dapper - As evidenced by the 'OG' Sanger, Istvan from Hungary, this one can fit right in with lords and ladies, engineers and highly-schooled inventors, debauch club patrons, and dragon riders alike. This one comes from a line of those inventors, like many do, and though they were not 'altered' like some, they purposefully seemed to choose their partners very carefully over the generations, and have effectively bred themselves into a highly refined and intelligent group. He loves dressing well and looking his best, he's vain as hell of course, but he has all the benefits of the Sanger line - any of them. He commands respect among them since, apparently, he was the one who 'did away' with their long-term adversary in a duel! On the other hand, being one of these men or their descendants also comes with down sides, including 'is often pursued by bad things', 'weirdness magnet', and 'liking pain is weird, dude'.
Gadgeteer - with a ^cluster for Mechanical Engineering, G'yl is properly called a genius when it's time to look over his plans and ideas on a chalkboard or blueprints. He's quite enamored of the technology available at Carramba, but also enjoys matching wits with the Zekiran designers and craftspeople around the school's science department.
Dragon Rider - If he hadn't been Searched as a youth, G'yl would still have flown - on a mechanical dragon, or a helicopter, or an aeroplane! He's among the few that are outright not terrified of heights and doesn't get motion sick in vechicles, nor while riding a dragon or device. He does have a 'thick skull' in that dragons find his mind difficult to pierce or speak to, but his own impression allows them to at least slide messages through his dragon's, though he prefers their silence.

^Mechanical Engineering +5 (3) If it can be constructed, controlled, driven, fired, or utilized to make life easier, he has his eye on it. Spotting weaknesses in large structures, through making tiny gears and balances for stopwatches, G'yl can draw up proper blueprints and plans, and while he's not as good with civil engineering duties, he could definitely take that up as a side hobby to help install plumbing or electrical wiring, communication networks, and the like. He does prefer a hands-on approach, which is why the Zekirans like him
Fashion and Style +3 No matter the dimension, he loves to get a feel for the local fashion, textiles, and that goes from highest-quality aristos, merchants and workers, down to 'what do they put prisoners in, here'. He believes that what a society values in both extremes of strata can tell a lot about the world. He also hates getting dirty, but that has never stopped him from being elbow-deep in a grease covered machine until it's fixed or assembled. And like most Sangers, he attracts a crowd just by taking off a piece of dirty clothing and plopping it somewhere in mock disgust...

Skills 18 |
Homework? In This Economy? +3 He will 'do' homework if he truly has to, in the time alotted to the class for settling down before a lecture, or right before the bell, or in another class, or even in the restroom between classes. About a week in advance. He studies textbooks and asks questions of the instructors, but won't purposefully dominate a class with his ideas. Not until he's a professor...
Papers, Please +3 He prides himself on being prompt, accurate, and presentable - including whenever he has to go from one location to the next. Being able to show who he is, where he's from, and what he's meant to be doing wherever he goes is paramount. He doesn't travel light. But he will travel light-rail, from country to country, Hold to Hold, and now, dimension to dimension! He'll make sure to study information before leaving for a new place, don't fuck it up, man, don't blow it...
Dragon Riding and Care +3 He is pretty sure that he's got some dragon riding ancestry, who doesn't? But with them being somewhat deprecated by the removal of the very threat they were designed to fight, he isn't sure exactly where he will fit in with his lovely little teal colored dragon. His family home nestled in a place rather similar to Caledrus Hold has room for dragons like her, so there won't be any lack of environment or other needs. His classes for health and riding were some of his favorites right after Impression! But he rides like a gentleman, with a harness and proper gear of course, but let him loose bareback and he will race with the wind ... wait, G'yl the dragon is supposed to be bare, not you...

Knacks 3 |
Flitters Love Him +3/-3 They are pests, though! Well they have their uses obviously, but sometimes they make off with his tools or his hair or a nice sash, get their grubby little claws all over his blueprints and data, and then have the nerve to teleport away when he needs to send a message to someone!
A Hopeless Romantic +3 He's heard stories about this-Sanger or that, and has an understanding: while they will absolutely all flirt and faff about with dangerous people or high class nobility alike, if they find their true love, that's where their heart belongs once and for all. Impressing his dragon felt like this, the first real inkling that perhaps there was something 'to' it. That won't stop him from banging anyone that comes his way (no one comes his way) but any permanent partner he has will definitely appreciate him for who he is because he'll make them his emotional world. Yes this has backfired on them almost every time...

Dragon |
Name: Zlisath (z'LIE sath) "Sly"
Gender: Female/Herm?
Size/Shoulder/Length: Small, 7'10" s / 25' l / 40' ws
Colors: Is she a blue-tinted green? Or is he a green striped blue? Why not both? Body pale aqua blue with green-yellow tint over eyes, under chin, neck, and belly; bright spring green stripes around neck, legs, and tail, with shoulder, back/rump, and wing arm markings; wingsails are more dusty greenish verging on yellow green
Features: Nontraditional Pernese, with sleek head and tail, and only marginal spinal ridging, but otherwise four legs with thumbed forepaws, leather wings with 4 internal fingers and a wrist thumb with claw underneath
Powers: Winged Flight, prefers to fly carefully and only where her rider wishes while he's riding. But the moment that harness comes off - with or without him still riding - she knows it's time to let loose! She can build up a good speed in just a few wing beats, and as quickly come to a halt in mid-air and switch directions without pausing. She is reliable with carrying heavy or delicate gear but only when she knows it's fragile and will take her time about getting from here to there
Teleportation, precise and well versed in memory tricks to make sure they get to the right spot without injury, Sly seems able to read the star charts and even the penned notes her rider makes about worlds with 'just this star out of place' and can move through the Nexus without even getting chilled. Her local teleport will wear her out a little if she has to do quick non-stop jaunts, but she can focus on a longer distance and easily manage hundreds of miles at a time
Telepathy and Verbal Speech, maybe it's her little size, unusual colors, or the fact that she is very clearly not 'just' a Pernese dragon from a regular Pern... she has a high but flexible voice, and a surprisingly wide vocabulary including a lot of technical jargon. She only speaks English or what passes for it where her rider is from, but through him can understand good bits of nearby conversation if he's trying to understand it - she helps with that, because he's not the natural linguist that some Sangers are, but with a dragon it's just as good!
Carries Fire Breath, she can't breathe flame nor chew firestone for it, but her offspring will carry unassisted firebreath regardless of their other parent's type
Parentage: Greeny Gold twotone Dulath and Chestnut dun-striped copper caprice Kastanja-Kupari with added Sixth (color)
Mate/Offspring:
None yet, and it's definitely 'will sire and lay eggs' both, though in both cases she will need a little time to gear up and know who's involved, so she can adjust her expectations and perhaps her body. Also it's highly unlikely that she'd be able to stand a much larger male, but she'd be happy to help out with a bigger female hahaaaahahah she may have learned that shit from one of the Naughty dragons at the Den
Origin: Unknown Pernese dimension, laid before being brought as an egg to Twoarth
Art By:
bought from and colors/design by 8Siren, on Bronzehalo lines, from Deviantart
Other Info: She will be as absolutely prim and proper as needed to fool the merchant guild or the professors at a stuffy meeting hall, but she, like G'yl, has a wild streak and unabashedly loves it when people realize that about either of them
