Affinity | Air
Magic | Air manipulation. She needs mana for this and the only thing she can do with this ability is to steal the breath out of people, suffocating them. Mana is expensive so she usually reserves this for the killing blow with her targets.
Strengths
| Melee. She's good with her fists and better with a knife. Despite having never been formally trained, her time in the underground was spent watching other mobsters fight amongst themselves and she's been in enough fights that she can handle herself. Wily and slippery, her strength lies in her nimbleness, flexibility, and the swing of her knife.
| Reconnaissance | Her growing reputation as Breath Stealer made infiltrating underground operations a lot more difficult. A new tactic that she's been cultivating over the past couple years is to study her target's patterns and close in where they're most vulnerable.
| Lock-picking. She picked up the ability at some point or other and has found it extremely useful since. Uses her hairclip to do it. Heavy-duty locks and up are her limit though.
Failings
| Murderous. Her best go-to solution to a problem is to kill it dead.
| Arrogant. Her reputation as the Witch Hunter has more than stroked her ego. In the face of a challenge, she'll never back away and is always convinced that she's got the teeth to chew whatever she's bitten off. Once she's got the upper hand, she'll almost always grow complacent. This complacency has almost ended in her death in a few situations.
| Physical strength. This is not to say that she's not strong, but a hand-to-hand with someone bigger than her without a knife means that her best bet is to run away. Unfortunately, that's not a bet she's ever willing to take.
| Unrefined. Cheryl's definitely good at her job, but assassinating and fighting are two different things. While capable of handling herself in a fight, she has almost no chance with a trained or skilled fighter.

Affinity | Air
Magic | Flight. Technically not magic, but it'd be a lie to say that there isn't air magic involved to enhance pipio pygmies' flight, considering their capability to survive in most places.
Strengths
| Melee. What sharp teeth and claws you have, Mr Piper.
| Obedience. He'll follow whatever Cheryl tells him to do to the letter.
Failings
| Lack of independence. Piper knows enough to survive on his own, but he won't quite know what to do with his life without someone there to tell him.
| smol boi. Sharp teeth and claws are great and all, but once someone bigger than him overpowers him, he's done for.

Boris is built like a brick shithouse. All ripped mounds of muscle. He has baby-blue eyes and is bald with little to no facial hair, a strong jawline, though his features lean more towards the infant-face side.

He wears basic gray trousers, well-worn black boots and a cream, collarless pullover short-sleeve shirt with three buttons at the V-cut neck. The three buttons are never fastened, as Boris’s massive muscular structure makes the shirt a tight fit and the buttons don’t reach. He couldn’t find a larger size to wear, but often considers acquiring a new top that fits better.



Childhood: Boris was raised in an underprivileged home with four brothers by his stepdad and birth mother. Unfortunately, Boris suffered a tremendous amount of physical abuse from his stepdad; regular beatings and torturous acts that ultimately left Boris with brain damage. He therefore isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Teens: He was roughly thirteen when he ran away from home and embarked on a life of petty crime in an effort to survive. His crimes consisted mostly of thievery in the ways of food, though he wouldn't pass up items of greater value if the opportunity presented itself. He was also responsible for killing several of the people he stole from before eating certain members of their person, bones and all, which is how he gained the reputation as 'The Bonecrusher' before he reached adulthood.

Adulthood: In roughly his mid-twenties, while on run from the law, he entered a town called Waise, world unspecified, where he joined forces with a group of adventurers and monster hunters to take down the resident evil. While in this town, Boris also acquired a weapon called 'Revel Yell'. Revel Yell was a gift to Boris, presented to him by his real father, a mischievous God by the name of Revel. At the time, Revel didn’t directly tell Boris that he was his father, but he left behind a few clues by which Boris might figure it out for himself one day. One of these clues was Revel Yell itself. The weapon was crafted by Revel from the bone of a dragon that Boris once slew, upon which Revel also placed a curious enchantment and a plaque with a personalized engraved message….

Unfortunately, Boris never learnt to read more than a few basic words.



After leaving the town of Waise and influenced by the few good friends he made there, Boris made a decision to change his ways. He vowed to forsake his life of crime and become an adventurer, endeavouring to seek out and help those in danger, to free the oppressed from their bondage. Of course, every so often, he still can’t help but steal a thing or two for the sake of his grumbling tummy.

---

Revel yell is, as seen in the image, the bone of a dragon that measures over one and half meters. It is enchanted by a God, the same God being Boris’s father. The enchantment itself is activated when Boris, and only Boris, uses it against any entity that Boris believes in his heart to be an enemy. With each strike against the enemy, the bone will endow Boris with added strength, agility, speed, and increase his resistance to taking damage. The process is gradual though, each connecting strike adding a small portion of each ability. However, the more passionate Boris feels towards his enemy, the faster and more efficient the effects of the enchantment will be. In addition, and every now and then, usually when making a pivotal blow, Revel Yell will also glow a vibrant cyan hue and release the intimidating roar of a dragon’s battle cry.

Adverse effects of Revel Yell: Unfortunately, Boris will suffer fatigue after being substantially effected by Revel Yell’s enchantment. The more effected he becomes by the enchantment, the more fatigued he will be once the fight has ended. In extreme cases, once a battle has ceased, Boris will helplessly collapse and sleep for hours.

Boris carries Revel Yell on his back in the same way someone might sheath a sword.







Kettie is a slingshot, named and made by young boy whose parents Boris helped evade a tyrant in their village. As luck usually has an uncanny way of befalling Boris, Kettie is also an enchanted weapon; blessed by an old witch, the same being the grandmother to the boy who crafted the slingshot.

Kettie’s Enchantment: According to the boy that made it, the magic of Kettie is shared with any projectile placed in its leather pouch, be it a stone, a marble, or anything else Boris may care to use as ammunition. This shared magical effect is essential of course, since each object launched from Kettie has the power to crack open rocks, put holes in the hardest of metal, or even pass right through a man without damaging the projectile itself. Even more than this, Kettie is apparently unbreakable. “No matter how hard you pull it, you’ll never snap that rubber.” The boy told him, “You’ll never break that wood. And that’s a promise!” Naturally, Boris chuckled at the thought of it, thinking it was just a young boy’s imagination running wild.

Kettie is kept in the belt at the back of Boris’s trouser pants.

Aside from Boris’s physical prowess, which exceeds that of any ordinary man, he is the son of a God and human woman. Technically speaking he is a demigod with powers he himself, on the most part, isn’t even aware of. That’s not to suggest he isn’t aware that something strange is going on with his person, there have been many occurrences in his life that have led him to realize that there is more to his capacity than he is able to understand. On account of his less than average intelligence, it may take Boris the rest of his life to realize the potential of powers he holds.

He is learning.

A well-worn brown Backpack that he carries many everyday useful items and current food supply. A knife with a 6 inch blade that he carries in his trouser pocket. In his other pocket is a leather bound notebook with a pencil attached by a string – Boris is mostly illiterate so can’t write for shit, but sometimes he’ll take some time out from his adventurous life to draw simple pictures of the things he has seen.

Items carried in backpack:
- A box of jumbo-size matches. The box is kept in a waterproof container.
- A small bottle of unopened Kraken spiced Rum that he received from a dunk man he helped out from a spot trouble two years earlier. Boris isn’t much of a drinker.
- A magnifying lens approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- A ten meter length of rope with an extendable grappling hook attached to one end.
- A softcover book titled “A dummies guide to killing monster” which he has obviously never read. But maybe he’ll learn how to do that one day. He found that book in a library and thought the cover was pretty, so, against his better judgement, he stole it.
- Another book titled “The Adventures of Flinny Fin Fin, and the Secret of Bostad’s Treasure”. Again, he has no idea what the book is about, but received it as partial payment for one of the many good deeds he did for people over the years.
- A tin of assorted hard candy. Half the tin is empty, since Boris does enjoy sucking on candy now and then.
- Food: A stick of bread. A small jar of blueberry jam. A jar of pickled cucumbers. A litre canteen of water.
- A brown cloth pouch filled with glass marbles, which was also given to him by the boy who made his slingshot. The marbles are normal enough and were given to him because, in the words of the boy; “Just in case there aren't enough rocks”.
- A black leather coin pouch containing a variety of different coins and several valuable gems. Boris is about as good at math as he is at reading, so he doesn't really know how much money he actually has.
- A medical kit. He has no idea how to use it, but it has some bandages and a few other items, one of which is a bottle of ointment labelled: “For the Love of God Don’t Drink This”.

No specific reason really, aside from - well, one could always blame it on his sleeping disorder.

Affinity | None
Abilities
| Desire. Being desire herself, she's aware of all the desires in her network - a wide range, considering it spans the entirety of the multiverse. However, she's by no means omniscient. It's kind of like having a room full of chattering people in her head; if she listens, she can hear their conversations, but she won't know the context. Listening to the desires of the beings who engage her come as second nature but it's not an ability she abuses often since at best, the desires she hears are uninteresting and at worst, they're repulsive.
| Desire manipulation. She can summon desire into the physical plane as physical matter and her constructs are always in shades of red. With this, she's able to replicate objects, though not always accurately in detail. The easiest attack is forcing desire physically out of a person's heart. Her constructs falter once she attempts to use them to stop or pull against anything.
| Desire influence. She's able to push a sentient being's desire into a certain direction, as long as even a little bit of it exists within the person. This is provided that there's not another bigger contrasting desire within the person and that there's not stronger restraint pushing against the desire. She cannot put a desire into a person and she cannot erase a pre-existing desire. All she can do is manipulate it into the direction she wants. This works strongly with mindless or simple-minded creatures and easily influenced, gullible, passionate, inebriated, or near unconscious sentient beings. It's not an ability to use with brute force; when beings fight against it, it's tedious to keep the desire from being snuffed out. If she has to use this, Erised prefers taking one time to convince a person or giving up entirely, because really. Why bother, right?
| Form of desire. Taking her physical form doesn't necessarily mean a human body. She can replicate the look of her soul's physical form, but she's basically a walking block of solid desire. She can get her head chopped off, her fingers snapped, or be stabbed through the heart, and she won't feel anything. The trade-off, however, is that she can't smell and taste things. Nor can she process alcohol, which is why she prefers fully replicating an organic human body most times. That means it fucking hurts when things go sideways, but it's worth the buzz. Asides all that, her wings are always fully replicated.
| Unknown.
| Unknown.
| Unknown.
Weaknesses
| Restraint. As her opposite, the essence of restraint is able to hurt or hold her back as desire. Due to its nature, restraint cannot kill her, but it's an effective Erised-repellent. Especially since the current Embodiment of Restraint pisses her right off.
| Defence. Being desire, she's unable to shield against an attack or hold something back (this includes pulling against a force or an object moving in the opposite direction). While she can be hit, an attack will go through her if she attempts to use her body as a shield.
| Soul magic. While Erised has an interest in exploring fantastical words, this type of magic puts her off. A lot. Mainly because, if done right, it can kill her. Why risk her life when there are plenty of other places to be, right? She won't stick around for it unless she's goaded into it or - and this is an uncommon scenario - there is someone that she cares about enough to be a reason to stay.
| Dimensions. Dimensions aren't sentient by any means, but there are mysterious forces lurking in the unknown. Erised's free to play tourist, but if she messes with a dimension's direction - intentionally or otherwise - the dimension treats her like a pest to be rid of. Certain things in the time stream may be set into motion, just enough that whether or not there were people capable of taking her down before, there certainly are now.
Strengths
| Offence. It's ridiculously easy to pierce through most things with desire, just because she wants to. As long as her intention is to deliver, her strikes ring through. Most times, all it takes is a flick of her fingers - heart is where the desire is, after all.
| Observant. Advantages of being desire aside, she takes the time to let the situation play itself out first before choosing or being forced to intervene.
Failings
| Flippant. She's not concerned of consequences when she really, really should be.
| Slow reflex. Considering her natural lack of pain receptors, most times she doesn't need to dodge. While she is capable in battle, she's unable to react on reflex. This becomes unfortunate when the attack ends up to be something that's actually able to injure her.
| Impulsive. A trait that she's working on to control, but a trait that she has nonetheless.
| Alcoholic. While not necessary a failing, her vice does make her single-minded at times when she feels like she wants a drink and everything else can wait.

Affinity | Life
Magic
| Calming field. An innate ability of the breed. Haila's able to project a small magic field around herself; those caught in the field will find peace of mind and their anxiety and anger momentarily put away.
| Empathic projection. More a result of untrained magic than anything, creatures within range of the calming field are able to sense Haila's emotions. Even if they may not necessarily be able to process complicated feelings, they'll receive a general gist of her current state.
Abilities | Flight. While floret wyverns are not a migratory breed, they can fly for quite the distance before tiring.
Strengths
| Loyal. Once someone's earned her friendship, she'll stick with them to the end - or so she believes.
| Patient. She's got to be to be as good as a listener as she is. If things get bad, she'll wait it out; it'll turn out alright.
| Heart of gold. There's something off-putting about seeing others in a bad situation and Haila wants nothing but the best for everyone she sees.
Failings
| Over-optimistic. While viewing the world through rose-coloured lenses may be uplifting for some, it can easily come off as denial to others.
| Stubborn. This could be seen as a strength in some situations. Her optimism feeds into this too. After all, where else can things go but up?
| Non-combative. Dragon instincts aside, she's never trained to fight or been in one, save for the occasional scuffle in her clan. To top it off, she doesn't like hurting others.

About: While most call them dragons, some say they are actually just big birds and people shouldn’t be so presumptuous. There is not much known about the Electic lifestyle, as they clearly prefer not to mingle with those outside of their own species. Though a few have been spotted living a nomadic life, most are believed to reside in large colonies in densely forested, cooler areas.

Description: Generally a little larger in height to a human, about 2.5 meters (8 feet) while upright. Mostly scaled, with some plumage around the neck and breast. Parrot-shaped beak instead of any standard Dragon mouth type (It is said, but with no apparent proof at all, that their bite is the most powerful of all living creatures). They were sometimes confused with griffon in days of old.

Reproduction and mating: Unknown.

Communication: Unknown. Most just assume that they squawk like a parrot.

Behaviour: Unknown.

Traits: Though there is no hard evidence, again, and though it is probable that the belief is based solely on the fact they are rarely seen, it is said that Electic are extremely lazy, most of them preferring to remain perched all day, only moving around to eat or find an even more comfortable place to sleep.

Abilities: Unknown.

ARIST

About: It is believed by the Hokumtapaya Clan, though refuted by the À la Stan Clan, that the Arist are the most elite of all dragons. Regardless of the controversy between clans, the Arist are known to be one of the most feared and revered of dragon species, renowned for their esteemed intelligence, exceptional magical abilities and physical prowess. They are however less common than many other dragon species, and were believed to be extinct for many years post the Arkath war. They are said to be omnivorous, though some theologians believe their diet consists mostly of fish and fruit. Unlike many dragon species, Arist are semiaquatic, and although not much is known about how much of their lives are spent in water, it is moreover agreed upon that Arist prefer high altitude forested regions.

Description: Arist’s have been reported to grow to more than 15 meters (50 feet) in length and can stand up to 5 meters (16 feet) at the fore shoulders. They have 7 main extremities: tail, four legs and a set of wings (the front feet double as hands with opposable talon grips). Their epidermis is composed of thick skin and scales with no plumage or fur, and various horns and ridges are displayed about their head, legs, torso and the end of the tail. Although the natural delinquent colouring of their epidermis ranges from deep-grey to hues of violet, blue and green, the full spectrum has no known limits and can vary, at will or spontaneously, to adapt to influences such as mood and camouflage.

Reproduction and Mating: Oviparous. Debated among the Dinotapaya and À la Stan clans for many centuries, it was more recently agreed upon that Arist are Hermaphrodite trans-sexual, able to change between what could be more than two genders, male and female being the more dominant of the possible variations. On account of being Hermaphrodites, a mate is preferred but not essential for multiplying. It is also believed that water is essential in the reproduction and nesting of the species.

Communications: Arist are believed to have the highest count of communication types, such as generic speech, Base (the telekinetic manipulation of vibrations), telepathy, Medium Sensory (communicating with the dead and alternate dimensions), Pheromone Toning (refining and mimicking pheromones for the sake of luring partners, prey and other life), Mist (the manipulation of air molecules and gaseous matter to form imagery), and Tell (also known as Panlamin. The wilful or spontaneous act of changing colour to match a mood).

Traits: 1) Metallic scales. Well known is that the Arist scales have a metallic/silicone base, harder than other metallic mineral types, yet much lighter in weight and less rigid, which adds to their prowess and physical integrity. Unfortunately, this has led the Arist being hunted for the gold that could be made from their hide and the production of superior weapons. Their blood was also sought for magical and chemical effects. 2) Metaltite Horns. Horns that protrude from various areas about the head and face, made from a strong and sensitive metallic type bone that can pick up the slightest vibration from very far away. 3) Envenom. The release of a poisonous gas from sacks within the nasal passage, not harmful to dragons and a handful of animals.

Abilities: While abilities of the Arist are quite vast and complex, some of the more common and basic are 1) Camouflage 2) Elemental Breath. To breathe/exhale elements from the throat. The range of elements for the Arist species is vast. 3) It is speculated that Arist are shapeshifters of the highest calibre, and can take on the form of any object or organism, including human. 4) Reform. A burst of energy that influences the emotional state of life, and can alter the form of matter. 5) Shift. A telepathic energy that can alter the emotional state of life. 6) Luminescence. Willful and controlled illumination of their epidermis or a selected portion of it. 7) Teleportation. Range unknown. 8) Transension. The ability to pass through solid objects. 9) Oscillation. To concentrate a telekinetic induced vibration upon a subject in order to cause it to disassemble, break apart, or explode. Range unknown.

(incomplete)

About: Possibly the least revered of all dragon species. Unlike the name would suggest, the Gallant species are not honourable or gallant. They are basically considered a generic species with no remarkable intelligence or skill sets, but they are likely the most brutish of all the dragons with a formidable physical size and rows of serrated carnivorous teeth to compliment that nature. They can be found in various climates and habitats and have a carnivorous diet consisting mostly of medium to large size animals. Lifespan of up to 100 years.

Description: Wyverns. Usually around 9 meters (30 feet) in length, the males being larger. Their bodies are mostly scaled with patches of thick leather beneath the wings and underbelly.

Reproduction and Mating: Oviparous. Mating is achieved mostly in swamps or other damp areas. A female Gallant will lay up to 9 eggs at a time. Eggs must be fertilized prior to one week before laying or they will not hatch.

Communication: Vocal with limited language skills. Though some say they also have a generic telepathic sensory connection with relatives of the same species.

Behaviour: Mostly live in small groups or transient pairings. No intimate connections have been witnessed among the species.

Traits: Like eagles and other birds of prey, Gallant’s have extraordinary sight, and although many dragons can see in the dark, Gallant’s have exceptional night vision, so acute that some argue that they are unaware of night and shadows.

Abilities: Elemental breath (ordinarily limited to fire or ice).

(incomplete)

POKPE

About: The Pokpe, or Dragonella - maybe only on account of its size - was not recognised as a dragon species until after the war of Arkath. There are some traditionalist who continue to see them as no more than insects. Pokpe have been witness in various habitats, including marsh, swamp, forest and jungle. They have rarely been spotted in open fields or bushland. Although it amazed many to find out that Pokpe devour their dead as part of some variety of ritualistic tradition, most of their diet consists of vegetation such as nuts and leaves, but they also commonly indulge in the consumption of small insects and animals. Some documented accounts claim that massive hordes of Pokpe have been seen feeding on large animal carcasses. It has not been determines whether these same animals were killed by the Pokpe, or if the Pokpe were simply acting opportunistically. Pokpe are believed to live no more than 60 years.

Description: The majority of Pokpe are no more than 3cm (1.2 inches), though on occasion can reach the size of a small finger, roughly 5cm (2 inches). Their tails make up a little more than half their total length, and are thin and wiry and tipped with a sting that can produce a toxin strong enough to kill a large animal. Their bodies are slightly thicker, though extremely agile, with 10 limbs; three sets of legs and two sets of wings. Their heads are roughly the size of a peppercorn, slightly elongated, with 6 pinpoint eyes, fanged mouth, a single nostril, and a film of fine amber hair over their cheeks and jawline. Pokpe boast a range of colours, most of them being varied shades of blue, green and purple, and although females are considerably brighter, all of them have a darker base colour broken up by stripes of a lighter shade. No two Pokpe stripe patterns are the same, giving each individual their own unique visual identity.

Reproduction and Mating: Oviparous. Eggs are fertilized before being laid in moist sand by a body of water where the male will protect the nest, often using plasma silk (see abilities) to provide shelter until the eggs have hatched. Up to 30 eggs can be laid in a single clutch.

Communication: On the most part their language is telepathic, though rudimentary communications are often conveyed through various tones of buzzing created by the vibration of their wings and tail.

Traits: For the Pokpe, hearing, touch, sound and sight are extremely sensitive. Due to the spacing of their 6 eyes, they have a 360 degree field of vision, and while their hearing is extremely acute, the fine hair on their cheeks and jawline, as well as follicles on all six of their feet, serve as an additional sense that can detect the slightest vibration across great distances.

Abilities: In the same way that spider extrude silk webbing, the Pokpe produces a plasma-based silk from a similar organ to a spinneret. This plasma silk, when produced at the correct density, can refract light, and is commonly woven in this manner to create a temporary cocoon-style shelter that provides a pocket of invisibility.

(incomplete)

ARISVELLA

About: Widely recognised for their passive disposition and documented by Hokumtapaya to be the most intelligent of all dragon species. Prefers regular seasonal changes. Rarely seen in regions of overall extreme temperatures. Diet consists of fruit and fish and a small selection of vegetables. Life Expectancy is 300 years.

Description: On account of their similar appearance, Arisvella were originally mistaken by humans to be infant Arist. Ordinarily, Arisvella are full grown at age 10 and about the size of a large dog, though some have been recorded at twice that size.

Reproduction and Mating: Monogamous. Oviparous. Subterranean nesting. 2 to 6 eggs in a clutch. Incubation period of up to 1 year. Hatchlings from a single clutch will remain in a close family unit with both male and female parents for the first 2 years, at which point the parents temporarily separate so that the hatchlings continue being raised by their respective same-sex parent until the age of 6, after which an Arisvella is considered independent. The reuniting of parents/couples and further mating is not done until all offspring from one clutch have become independent. Most Arisvella achieve sexual maturity at the age of 10.

Communication: Telepathic. Empathic. Vocal, generic speech.

Behaviour: 1) Hibernation for a few weeks each year, but otherwise - though capable of it - do not need sleep. Despite their typically relaxed behaviour on the ground, they are possibly the fastest airborne dragon, reaching speeds of up to 700 km/h.

Traits: 1) Like Arist, Arisvella have rear webbed feet and gills in front of their wing joins for ease of movement and breathing underwater. 2) Two Stomachs. One main for the standard food digestion process. The second does not lead into the main food digestion tract, but instead has two other purposes, one being the storage of food for later use, the other being for the production of Ishi, an extremely potent mind altering substance with similar effects to alcohol. The production of Ishi is selective, not automatic. In the case that production is chosen, the Arisvella induces the production of a special digestive enzyme in the stomach that blends with certain proteins in the food to produce ishi. After production of ishi is complete, it can be regurgitated and swallowed into the main stomach for digestion, continue to be stored, or be vomited for various other uses. Swallowing too much ishi into the main stomach can result in overdosing or death, and has been known, in cases of extreme destress - to be used for the purpose of suicide. The food properties left over and not used in the processing of ishi can be regurgitated and swallowed again into the main stomach for standard digestion.

Abilities: 1) Luminescence. Wilful and controlled illumination of their epidermis or a selected portion of it. 2) Teleportation. Jumping distances restricted to visual range. 3) Elemental breath. Normally fire, ice, anaesthetic gas or electricity. 4) Transform. Can take on the form of any biological entity that has been made contact with.

RODUNE

About: One of the few dragons that thrive in the desert, Rodune do not have a known limit to their life expectancy. Their diet consists of desert fruits as well as desert rodents and insect. Sand is often consumed, but the reason for this is yet to be understood by humans.

Description: Scales. Females are larger and stronger than males. Males grow to 4 meters (13 feet) in full length (tail included), and up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) in height (average head height). Females can grow up to twice the size of a male. Rodune are Cream-coloured with varied patterns of brown and purple markings. They have a broad serpent-style head with a large horn above each of the two eyes, and a forked tongue. Long body like a monitor, covered in spikes (like the Australian Thorny Devil), with three sets of legs, its forefeet are designed for digging. They have an additional set of arms with large, serrated grasping pincers. Two sets of wings, similar in appearance to wings of a bat, the front set slightly larger than the rear. Tail three times the length of the body, sparsely horned, but forked from about half way. Each of the two tail prongs are tipped with either a poisonous stinger, like that of a scorpion, or a spiral of long, thin spikes. Though it is normal for Rodune to have one or the other on both tips, they will often have both.

Reproduction and Mating: Viviparous. 1 to 3 offspring. Non-monogamous, non-dyadic. The male will seek out any female, usually the closest one, to mate with, and the female will rarely reject a male unless already pregnant or has an infant in her care - in which case the male will not approach. Once the female is impregnated the male will leave her. Although Rodune are not relationship inclined and have a highly transient mating practice, a mother Rodune is one of the most protective and nurturing of all dragons. Pregnancy normally lasts 6 months, and during that time the mother will stockpile food in her den in preparation for her offspring. Once born, the mother will keep her young at close quarters within her den (cave or hollow) until the infants are 2, half grown but ready to head out on their own. Any trespassers that pass within approximately 50 meters of the den will be quickly killed and needlessly mutilated, other Rodune included.

Communication: Rudimentary telepathy (no more than base-level suggestions and instinctual messages). Rodune have an audible but very extensive and detailed language based on clicking sounds produced by a combination of their pincers and mouths. When preparing to mate, there is no audible communication, all communication then made by way of pheromone impulses.

Behaviour: Hostile. Rodune are nomadic and completely independent. Once they leave the nest at the age of 2, they are on their own without any known exception besides the brief sexual interacts and nesting with offspring. Obtaining food is more often than not opportunistic. Rodune are renowned for their grudge holding, relentless in their pursuit of an enemy, and will go out of their way - and even against their nature - to hunt down any creature that harmed them in any way.

Traits: 1) Rodune rarely drink - not only a limited water supply issue - as there are 4 glans (resembling sponges in appearance), 2 on either side of the base of their neck, that collect moisture from the air and distribute it directly to the bloodstream to prevent dehydration. 2) The horns and many of the scales on a Rodune are composed of a unique material that serves as a type of regulator for temperature control. Since Rodune are highly unapproachable at the best of times, carcasses are scavenged by humans for their horns and scales, which are treated and then turned into clothing items like hats, shoes and general garments that provide unequalled protection from the suns heat and insulation from the cold. Rodune Hydration glans are also harvested and used - when attached to a container of some type - as a portable water collector for travellers with animal assistance.

Abilities: 1) Teleportation. Like with Arisvella, distance is restricted to visual range. 2) Oscillation. To concentrate a telepathically induced vibration upon a subject in order to cause it to disassemble, break apart, or explode. Range varies for each Rodune, but is normally only properly effective within 10 to 12 meters (30 - 40 feet). 3) Camouflage. While finding it easier to align themselves with earth colours and textures like sand and stone – their camouflage not as highly tuned as Arist and some other dragons - the Rodune camouflage allows them to wait undetected by most enemies and unsuspecting prey in the desert.

RATTIS

About: The most opportunistic of all dragons, rattis are rodent-size omnivorous scavengers with limited flight capacity and live in large groups, thriving in almost any environment or habitat as long as a steady source of food is available. Life expectancy variable but much shorter than most dragon species.

Description: Two sets of legs and a short stump-like tail. The Rattis has batlike ears, wiry whiskers, and their eyes are located on the side of the head, bulging, and with large pupils for full radius vision. Though the rattis are usually scaled with velvet-like pelts about their extremities, their many physical variations are undefined, as being the most adaptive of all dragon species allows their physiological state to conform almost immediately to environmental change. Rattis also have a single set of disproportionate-size wings that limits their flying to short distances and gliding, similar in efficiency to a chicken.

Reproduction and Mating: Oviparous. Non-monogamous. Being the most promiscuous and indiscrete of all Dragons, rattis show no discernible discrimination in choosing a partner or any moral standards in sexual conduct, and will frequently partake in orgiastic activities that can often escalate into a sexual frenzy that involves the entire community. While a female may lay up to 100 eggs in a single clutch, and although the fertilisation rate in the species is extremely low, little to no care is given to where a clutch is laid, and neither will the eggs be provided any maternal nurturing or protection, all of which ordinarily resulting in a very small percentage of rattis surviving the incubation period. Those that do however make it to the stage of hatchlings are matured enough to fend for themselves within the community.

Communication: Honking, much like geese.

Behaviour: Communal, of no known population limit. Self-indulgent, living centred on food and sex.

Traits: Night vision. Superior olfactory.

Abilities: 1) Can release a pungent odour from a gland above their anal passage to ward off potential predators. 2) Can spray its victim with a pungent chemical from a hole on the bridge of their nose.

AQUADON, AKA WATER DRAGON

About: An extremely elegant creature that spends most of its life in water. Diet consists of aquatic vegetation. Life expectancy is believed to be beyond several hundred years.

Description: Likely the most beautiful of all Dragons, Aquadon grow anywhere from .5 to 10 meters (2 - 32 feet) in length. They are decorated in various patterns of translucent hues of turquoise, grey’s, purple’s and blue’s. 4 sets of wings (similar shape to the pectoral fins of a lionfish) that also serve as fins. A large, spiked and retractable neural spine sail that extends for more than half the length of its back. Two sets of legs with webbed rear feet and front grasping webbed hands, though the webs are retractable for more efficient terrain manoeuvrability. 3 small black sensory pads - 3 sizes - on either side of their head that serve as ears. Along both sides of the lower half of the neck are many small cherry-pink glans (though some vary in colour) resembling decorative elongated spots that filter oxygen from water like gills. Large bulging egg-shape eyes that are covered in a film that has a rainbow polaroid sheen.

Reproduction and Mating: The Aquadon are very discrete in their mating practices, leaving very little to be known about it. They have no noted genders and are not Oviparous or Viviparous, as they have no apparent conventional sex organs or reproductive system. It is said, though only through limited and alleged eyewitness accounts, that an offspring will form on the soft leathery hide of an Aquadon’s underbelly much like a growth, and then separate from the parent when properly formed, a process that is completed in only a few minutes after mating. Other seemingly less reliable sources say that when two Aquadon unite in mating they are engulfed in a blinding white light for several seconds and, once the act of mating is complete and the light fades, there are then three Aquadon.

Communication: High level telepathy. Vocalisations include many forms of sounds that are the same as a broad range of aquatic and terrestrial life. It is believed that Aquadon can communicate quite fluently with most, if not all, types of aquatic and terrestrial animals. It is also believed that Aquadon’s are hyper-polyglot and can easily communicate in any language after only hearing a few words.

Behaviour: Secretive. Shy toward most humans. Though amphibious, Aquadon spend most of their time in water grazing on plant life and interacting playfully with other animals. Aquadon are often referred to as Dragon Guardians, as they are frequently seen protecting other life forms from harm. There is very little else known about their social life.

Traits: 1) Will spontaneously vanish for variable amounts of time when startled. 2) Their natural scent is said to be indicative of their emotional state. The stronger the emotion the stronger the scent. Aromas have been described in many ways, some of which are sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, sulphur, flowers, sea water, burning wood, mould, freshly cut grass, and decaying flesh. 3) Though the film covered eyes of an Aquadon makes them appear blind or visually impaired, they do in fact have superior eyesight, as the film over their eyes serves them in multiple ways, such as magnification and light management.

Abilities: 1) Transpers. Though Aquadon are not shape shifter, per se, they have an oddly specific function that enables them to break down into many smaller lifeforms for a short period, such as a school of fish or a swarm of insects. The varieties of smaller life form groups is believed to be limited, based on an early-life intimate connection the individual Aquadon had with that species. It is not certain how many transpersal species types an Aquadon is limited to. 2) Shock. The use of electricity to shock a victim. 3) Transension. The ability to pass through solid objects. 4) Allegiance. The ability to call upon other lifeforms and induce in them the need to fight as allies. This ability is said to be effective on all organisms regardless of intelligence levels.
