Pelatih: Avian Specialist / 35kc / 17 years; with half the family being so invested in birds and flighted creatures all of these come quite easily! He loves watching birds of any sort, and studies their anatomy extensively even before dragon powers surfaced. Passed Pelatih exams when he was 9, purely to make it legal for him to be doing what he did for a year before that

Dragon Breeder: Anatomy and Biological Researcher, Flighted Only / 12kc per hire / 7 years; through careful genetic examination and screening, has developed numerous smaller flighted variations on both Forest and Sky dragons, plus has been experimenting with the addition or inclusion of genes from the Offworld dragons that his family has access to. Keeps very, very precise records of any changes or 'fixes' that are needed when fine-tuning flight muscularity or structure, and has a consultation with anyone needing to tap these resources to make sure that they do not fall into what the Vahh clan considers to be 'the wrong hands'. Why a dragon might be considered 'wrong' is still a little beyond his ken, however, so at times he really has to have a sit-and-think because why not offer one to someone in this or that family?

Offworld Instructor - Carramba High School: not paid on Zekira for this, but has earned a salary with their Alabaster (huh, what a switch since they're the ones not technically allowed on Zekira?) to teach draconic anatomy and genetics. Since this is definitely his favorite thing, he truly loves the portion of his life that he spends there! Also yes he collects any dragon DNA that he can, sometimes not quite with permission, but who's going to know unless they somehow manage to track that lost-feather or drop of blood back to Zekiran genetic splicing machines?

Minor

Enhanced Senses (all, psionic+) - physical senses are all 2x (sight, touch, hearing, scent) and psionics are 3x as strong; also note that this affects Priority for both speedy motion and psionic reaction time as shown in stat block

Psychometric Suite - objects and existing or recently-used portals can provide Khaimaera insight to what went on in the very recent past, or is going on concurrently if the object is connected to another via physical means ('a wall', for instance, or 'an electrical cord to a lamp'; One very strange combination power however is that if he's dreaming or is in proximity to any form of Genre Portal (electronic or psionic) he can use this power through that as well

Avian/Dragon Psionic Suite - Able to sense, locate, identify, sense-through, and summon avians of all types, and flighted dragons from any breed. The range on these powers is quite wide, around 10 miles for sensing/location, 10km for identifying and sensing through, and 1km for summoning them. Can control a group of those which he's had a hand in creating or healing/altering, at 500 meters with an upper limit of 6 individual large (BT measured in Lengths) or 12 small sized (BT under 50) creatures. For fully sentient and offworld dragons, this suite also includes telepathic communication at 5 miles and empathic sense at 500 meters, though he cannot outright control offworld dragons who have an Intelligence equitable to 50+ Zekiran (typical Pernese and up)

Genre Portal (Local Teleport) and Dream Portal (specific location port) - He can create a portal that's big enough for him and whatever he's carrying (including a living thing on his back or hugging on closely), to locations he's familiar with. Usually this means between his Zekiran holds and Crescent City's home and CHS lab, but also has brief access to the unusually distant worlds found by tuning the Ski'nahket portal, or just following Kallah Vahh around. This also may work with offworld dragons who can teleport through space, time, or dimensions, but he must be actively with them when they do this, so a trip between or through the Void will do for a new spot to land! The portal remains open only as long as he is near it, within about 10 meters, and closes once he is fully on the other side. As with his Psychometry, he can also use this power while dreaming, sometimes to very weird results

Mental Psionic Suite - typical empathy, invasive telepathy, surface motivation, and sense/locate/identify individual humanoid minds. Senses work at up to 5 miles, while communication is generally shorter at 10km unless they are related to him even distantly. Those who are related particularly with the Vahh side, are 10 miles for any use. He also has the ability to dream lucidly and is easily dropped in on by other dreamers with stronger powers though cannot influence other people's dreams. He does have a stronger defense (PR vs PR special as above) but no specific attacks or stuns, but this means he's pretty immune to most other users of those attacks

Genetic Alteration and Healing Suite (draconic, avian, spliced/zekiran/humanoid) - Khaimaera is very capable of sensing highly detailed biological quirks, surface features on down to raw DNA. With this being the first power that manifested when he was a kid, this is definitely why he was tutored specifically toward Pelatih immediately, rather than just letting him get away with things and potentially being a legal landmine. Because those powers do work on people who have avian or draconic features, he is still being nudged toward adding "Peridian 6th" to his score of Status, but he prefers to just 'leave that to Vahh' if he screws up. He can sense details about the DNA of the above types and alter them with great accuracy, as well as easily telling at 10 meters whether there is an internal injury or disease in a being. With touch (only) he can alter the dna or begin healing the flesh, and can heal up to 24 points of damage within about half an hour of concentration and effort. He has practice with 'copy pasting' genetics, at least in theory - he can take what Pelatih use as a 'generic cell template' of raw dna materials, and imprint on it what he wants a piece of it to be doing. He works with samples first and won't try doing this on a living creature! But he knows that there are differences in dna before and after intense flight training or endurance work, and applies those changes to the potential offspring while they are being either gestated or spliced. However he can also do any of that with the tools available to Peridian and Pelatih, not merely with his psionics!

Kshau Lite - All of the typical Kshau features mitigated gently. Two-toned hair with fluffy back/bottom and stiff upper portion; arm spines (shorter than dad's, but still do 1 pt impale/cut damage per), 4-digit hands/feet, claws (1 pt cut) only on fingers (he can wear shoes!!)

Sengihr Ultralite - The only real vestige of the Sengihr typical physical traits seem to be that he's very, very hardy and long-lived; while it's added to the damage resistance, certainly, even if damage gets through it will heal very quickly; oh maybe it also is found in his extremely durable spines and claw material too, as any given Kshau's arm spines might break with impact and his never seem to do that

Vahh Lite - Damage Resistance (all physical damage 1/2, skin is thicker than normal but only gets noticed on extended touch); psionic damage must meet or exceed a PR challenge or be reduced to zero
