I should get an avatar again. Feeling like something Pokemon related because of Sun and Moon. But what one to get?

Bio
Not much to say. I usually look at interest checks instead of making my own, and I prefer original works to fandom, though I do have some I wouldn't mind trying. I prefer casual, but I am willing to do advanced. My schedule can be erratic, but I'll try to let you know about stuff ahead of time if something delays me more than a day. I don't mind conversations, though I'm not good at starting them. Anyway, whoever you may be, I hope you're having a nice day/night.

Also interested. If you are still looking, feel free to PM me.
The rough landing meant Drew took a nasty fall down the stairs when the others were safe. Had he been conscious, he would have been glad to hear that the other mages had made it. But instead, he had to push his way out of a pile of broken boxes. His injuries were minor, mostly some bruising. He thought he could just walk it off, unlike the others. He was rubbing his head and groaning miserably when suddenly... he heard a new voice. And it was certainly a voice he would remember hearing before.
This newcomer, this "Jonathan", sounded interesting to say the least. But the commander was bringing up things none of the others had heard of. "Boxes?" he muttered. What did this sort of stuff have to do with the storms? This fellow certainly proved himself to be eccentric and a bit of a liar. Probably thought this was on a "need to know basis", but Drew couldn't resist the chance to get ahead. Moments like this made him glad people tended not to notice him.

sorry for the slow responses. new work and general sluggishness has had an effect on my writing and motivation. Catching up now, will likely post tomorrow.
Drew was captivated by the storm. It was unlike anything he could imagine, both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Perhaps it was fortune that he was mostly unaffected by the initial monster attacks and elemental rain. He kept himself busy by just focusing on reinforcing the ice while he could. But soon he was forcibly shaken out of his stupor by the ship starting to descend. "What the...?" He said, shaking his head. "Stupid... come on, Drew. You're better than this." he growled, looking at one of the monsters trying to approach. He took a deep breath, focusing on what was going on around him. There was too much to process. Monsters and elementals, damage to the ship, orders from the captain; he was grateful for the chance to get back inside.
Unfortunately, he had started on a different end of the ship, so he could not make use of Vana's shield. He started trying to get back as quickly as he could. He was fast on his feet and well balanced, able to keep a steady pace. At least, he did before a harpy spotted him and tried to rip him apart. This forced him to jump out of the way, landing on his back as the monster went around in the air for a second pass. Drew hastily tried to roll out of the way, avoiding the harpy's attempt to grab him. He got up to his knees, deciding not to try and avoid it a third time. He reached a hand out, focusing on the air around him. For a second, it looked as if his hand were surrounded by a storm cloud, and sparks flew around his hand. He let loose a bolt of electricity at the flying monstrosity as he got back to his feet, backing his way to Raven. He would stay at the doorway as long as he could, trying to get another spark ready to cover his fellow elementals. He didn't say anything; they didn't need any more distractions.

Drew had drifted around the ship before, taking some food and finding corners to nap in. He had gone from sleeping to walking back to sleeping a few times before they arrived at the storm. He had no words for what he was looking at. It was always on the horizon, but to see it this close was overwhelming. And the big guy was planning on going through it. Of course he was. Because that made perfect sense. Sure, they were not going directly through the storm itself, but it was close enough that Drew was starting to wonder if Raven was actually insane. This matter with the northern academies caught his interest, but he'd wait until the current crisis was dealt with.
He now chimed in, ready to play his part. "I can reinforce any ice that's made. I'm not skilled in the Blizzard path, but I know some of the basics. If anything gets close, I can try to redirect it." He doubted he could blow away a Drake, whatever that was, but he could give the harpies some trouble. He had limited offensive options, but he was confident he could pull his weight defending the ship. He was confident enough that he would stick with his own element and not use any of the weapons on the ship. "I mean, how bad could it be?" he said, knowing full well that it could be worse than he could imagine. But there was no need to remind the others of that.

Is this still happening?
Drew made his way onto the ship, giving some of the mages a simple, polite bow as he let them get on ahead of him. He wanted to take the time to actually get a look at the thing from the outside before he could examine the interior. Despite all his concerns about the journey itself, the technology of their hosts fascinated him. To be able to move so freely through the air was something that he envied. He had some control over the winds, but gravity was a force he had yet to overcome.
Once they were on the deck, he still found himself gazing at the interior. The soldiers were strange, but the airship was quite the work of art and engineering. He watched the propellers start to spin and said aloud "I wonder if an Ironworker could replicate the engines if they got a good look at them..." he didn't know much about the elements outside his own, so he didn't know if what he asked was an easy task or something even a Master couldn't accomplish. He thought about asking Vanahara directly, but going up one he hardly knew and asking about their abilities might have been rude. Perhaps the engineer would be willing to talk.
