Powers

Standdown - when the pressure is on, they Fight Like A God +3^ and Cool increases dramatically. Frank is the kind of guy who enjoys jumping into a fray guns a'blazin, and when things start getting truly heated, he is at his best. When the chips are down, and the odds are against them, this power kicks in and he'll get headshots and kneecaps with any hit, taking out minions and bosses alike in rapid succession, and looking dramatically cool while doing so

Fingerguns - every time he aims at anything, with a smile or a weapon or a carefully worded jibe, he's at +3. His aim is astounding, even in non-stressful situations, the kind of guy that can unerringly shoot a basket from the stands, bounce a handball off three walls to bean their opponent in the back of the neck, or slap a slice of cheese onto a cat's head without looking

Buff Out - he can nudge any vehicle into full performance mode just by taking a rag out and cleaning it a little, lovingly. And he does love his vehicles, as much as he adores his dragon. In fact ... does that count? He's got practice with cleaning and caring for his cars and hovercraft and that certainly allows him to care for a Pernese-origin dragon. Her hide shines and she goes fast, you do the math!

Clusters

Drive or Ride Anything +4 including dragons, bicycles, horses, skags, VWBugs, hovercars... he's remarkably good at recognizing where a vehicle can go, how fast or slow it moves, how its steering works, and the like. No one should ever try calling driver spot when he's around, he will give them the death glare and yeah you can have shotgun only if Grace isn't on the team...

Navigate Anywhere +2 Whether it's land, sea, air, or underground, Frank is your guy who knows just where to turn or when to show up just as everything is hoppin'. He wants to be right on time, not really fashionably late or too early to be appreciated by the widest audience

Skills

^Fight Like A God +4 as above, when in a live-or-die situation he will definitely carry the group to victory, and this can gain traction if any of his teammates or their dragons start looking rough

Guns Guns Guns +3 able to recognize, appraise condition, take apart and clean, repair, and maintain hand-held weaponry. If it's able to be picked up and used to put projectiles of any kind into the air, he can call it out or fix it

Vehicle Repair and Upkeep +3 In addition to putting them into motion, Frank is an expert at instantly assessing the quality or state of a powered vehicle. Engines and power supplies, transmissions, any kind of moving thing is going to get fixed up in a jiffy thanks to his expert touch

Knacks

Fashion and Style +3 You don't get to be this cool without a bit of attention to detail, and he can give advice to others about how to take what they've got and make it out to be the best thing in the world

A Bit Cavalier +3 He does like the attention that he gets from all that fancy shooting, car hijinks, or in-flight stunts, and thus tends to actually seek out ways to attract more of it, which does sometimes get the team into hot water when they don't mean to

Handle Any Situation +3 Look, it's cool, we got this. With him backed into a corner, you better believe he has it handled, you're exactly where he wants you

Story

Dragon

Name: Tamileth
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Small, 11'1" s / 50' l / 90' ws (larger than parents)
Colors: Bloodstone; body mainly rich and shiny teal and aqua-green in large softly gradiant patches, including both sides of wings, all with small confetti splatters of righ red-gold and yellow-gold, most heavily streaked in a large swath across both sides of wings, faceted eyes often green, claws light
Features: Basically Pernese, split tail, 3 fingered leather wings with long webbed wrist thumb all clawed
Powers: Winged Flight, sleek and swift, with agility that's almost unrivaled among her group. She is able to stop and go, hover, and fly in virtually any direction all while Frank is able to sit on her shoulders and aim carefully, she's remarkably stable. She can fly for a moderate amount of time at speed, but does like taking short rests for longer journeys
Teleportation/Nexus Travel, With Frank's sharp eyes and mind, her target locations are very easily reached, having memorized plentiful landmarks and locales on Twoarth and Pandora alike. Like one of his bullets, she's there and gone in a flash, though offworld destinations are a little slower to reach, and she does rest after an interdimensional port. She is fast enough and clever enough on the wing to be able to literally dodge bullets, herself, even with Frank riding her, though he will take a minute to recover if she's done it too much very quickly
Telepathy, her mind is like a smooth worrystone, easily concentrated on, smooth and warm to the touch; she is somewhat chatty but also an imposing persona to encounter, so if she wants to make an entrance she does so by directly addressing people's minds
Unassisted Firebreath + Damage Resistance to Fire, Go ahead, try and burn her, good luck with that, she's able to walk through a bonfire or other dragon's flame with ease. She doesn't tend to use her fire breath but does have the ability to cry easily flammable items, or scar living things at distances up to 100 meters accurately
Poison Elemental Breath + Damage Resistance to poison, Ahh but that flame is nothing compared to the vile bile she spews, which will create an instant plume of noxious and foul smelling gas where it lands. Breathing this in causes any biological creature to need to purge, coughing and spitting, and becoming incapacitated if they are unable to leave the area quickly enough. It weakens their body significantly, reducing their physical strength and agility, so even if they do manage to get out of that cloud they will be doing far less damage and have difficulty hitting anything anyway. She is also quite resistant to any poisons, venoms, and disabling weapons, while she might take a little physical damage it won't have the side effects, even from Grace's Slag weapon
Telekinesis, very apt to use this to assist her flight, Tamileth keeps her rider from slipping or jostling and can even be flying inverted but he'll never notice!
Parentage: 2nd clutch of Green Foydisth [Brown F Hildemeceth + Black Theurth] and Blue Rattanth [Green Rilendeith + Brown Honoth]
Mate/Offspring: none yet
Origin: Academia de Magica (parents linked on page)

Other Info: Outgoing and sure of herself, Tamileth expects a lot of attention and helps Frank garner it with ease. Her regal bearing is clear when she postures with him, she's not really 'arrogant' as much as commanding and a bit imposing. As a warrior expected to be directly involved with firefights and danger, she eagerly awaits every opportunity to show off.
