GALACTIROCK

 

Morrel is older than he might look, having lived through the latter portion of the Outer Rim wars, and long enough to see his species scattered to the stray stars in that Outer Rim. While Brantian's species was indeed destroyed, Breruk's population adapted to life in swampy regions or watery worlds, which were far less likely to be overtaken by Vocorr - but no less colorfully musical.

He is no singer, well - no, he's not a performer particularly. But he is quite vocal. Able to make himself heard over great distances, Morrel can chirrup or croak or trill or groan with the use of those sacs along his neck, and picks up both low and high frequency sounds with his segmented antennae. At times when stealth or secrecy are needed, those features help his friends communicate undetected even without the use of Ija's psionics.

Though old, he's hardly 'aged'. As his species can continue living for possibly millennia, if given the right conditions, he has carefully arranged those conditions for himself. And now that some of the team have begun finding their own dragons, it turns out 'conditions' include going to another dimension where that 'Earth' sits, discovering a slightly-different version of it in the form of 'Twoarth', and... waiting for the dragons to come out of their shells.

Though the water in the sheltered coves and long stretches of beach was salty, Morrel's skin enjoyed the deep soak. He considered that more people should come to events like this, big sprawling hatchings under the everlasting afternoon sun of a world that didn't quite exist firmly in any single dimension.

Oh, he was more than smart enough to know that multiple dimensions existed and overlapped. He sat in a little rocky tide pool, letting the crabs pick off loose skin and an octopus investigate his tail fan, and pondered that he'd actually seen the sun reverse course just enough to maintain that 'four thirty in the summer afternoon' position.

When he looked up again, trying to figure out whether it was overlapping with another sun, there was a twilight purple shape in the way. Big blue eyes, and coppery fins held in a curious cup shape listening to him. Morrel blinked and slowly began to grin with his wide muzzle.

"Was wondering whether I'd find someone special here," he said.

I have found you, what are you talking about! Her mind was clear and soft, but echoed with power. Are you going to be able to find me a place to soak when we're on the road? The road? The... hyperspace highway?

"Of course I am!" He squelched out of the tide pool and the various creatures clinging to him fell away with a little nudge or brush of his webbed hand. "You think I'd be stingy with my tidepools?"

Dragon

Name: Erkezes (air keh ZAYsh, Hungarian, Arrival)
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium-small 55' long
Colors: Purple Copper as shown
Features: Glenn Water / Aquatic Pernese hybrid type B; scaled skin, four web-footed legs, small wings, armored belly
Powers: 6 Teleport 4 Genrehop, Arriving just in time, through time and space, across dimensions... Erkezes is there where you need her. Unerringly able to pinpoint the right moment and the exact spot where she can be of most use, she can teleport with ease and bring with her a bus-load of people and gear if necessary (with that added bonus telekinesis)
1 Flight, yeah nah. Though she can bolster herself with a bit of that TK under her stubby wings, it's mostly just lifting with that power instead. She can spread her wings and look like she's flapping though!
3 Water Reliance and 2 Deep Adaptation, though she definitely enjoys being out of the water, Erkezes returns to her nice pool every day. She can be out of water fully of course, breathing both air and water as needed, and can remain out of the pool for up to 2 days at a time, though by the end of that she's a bit worse for wear. While she can do deep-dives, she prefers shallows and lake depths over open oceans, and only her vision is particularly keen - she likes modest temperatures and less pressure, thanks
4 Telepathy, Her mind is keen and rich, like the velvety purple shade of her scales. She has quite a range locally, over 20 miles, and can easily be communicated to by other telepaths at up to 50 miles. She can use this power to dig deeper into an unprotected mind and leave no trace
6 Telekinetics, along with her ability to 'arrive' true to her name, she has stunningly strong telekinesis that allows her to pick up heavy weights or multiple objects, up to her own whole weight additionally to herself. She could fly with this power, but she claims it feels awkward to do so, so she'll just continue to help lift equipment and small ships, groups of fans or kids in busses. 2 Shield, she can also use this power to produce a modest force field around or between herself and other things up to 50 meters away. She mainly uses this to detect intrusion if they're setting up or breaking down a stage somewhere, and has been able to tune her senses to detect the very distinctive marching orders of Vocorr troops passing through it
5 Water Manipulation and Breath Weapon, Erkezes can move water with herself, aided by the telekinesis, but acting as a 'water bender' she can adjust currents, purify bodies of water and separate items or sludge from pure water, condense it along surfaces, or move it off of them easily, all within about 100 meters of herself regardless of whether she's above or below the water's surface. If there is any moisture in the air or surroundings, she can sense it and move it around. Her breath weapon is a stunningly powerful spout of water that she can aim with precision in a single burst up to 200 meters on land, and as a shockwave of hard current below; 3 Ice Manipulation, she can do those things with very cold water, or indeed create conditions that freeze the fresh water she's got into sheets or shackles alike, though it will melt normally given whatever conditions are around. Though this power isn't as strong as the water manipulation, she's quite clever with its use and can immobilize, blind with fog, or adjust snowy conditions if they're already present
3 Other Power: Sonic Manipulation, if you're going to be hanging out with a pirate rock band you have to be good at music, she claims, and so she's been using that strong TK to her advantage in this regard. She's able to nullify sounds, amplify them, tweak frequencies and bounce sound around. She's not remarkably musical with it, but she is certainly the 'sound engineer' of the team! Even going as far as blocking or bouncing the music away from Vocorr's ears standing right there...
Parentage: Silver Ezust and Rust-Bronze Elnok
Origin: Summer Swim 20th Anniversary by Shard
Other Info: Truly hopes that she can help free the galaxy from this nasty enemy...
