Dragon Name: Syranae
Nicknames: Rae (reserved for close friends and family); "Fish" and variations (ex. Fishy, Fry, Little Fish, etc.), on account of his manner of movement and skittishness. Feel free to refer to him as "the fish" or have characters make piscine puns if they're of a mind to.
Age: 229
Clan: Light (Underground)
Rank: Main Healer (not lead)
Elements: Storm and Healing
Personality: Syranae has a very delicate personality - he is a pacifist to his core, and easily frightened. Young and remarkably less experienced than many of his battle-hardened fellows, he's very wary of many other dragons, especially the warriors. He would quite literally give anything to see the war end, and has dedicated himself to it in lieu of fighting when he's not caught up with a patient. He's very conscious of his shortcomings, and thus very cautious as well. He's surprisingly sneaky, and seems to be hiding some secrews about himself.
Appearance: Sleek, small, and covered from snout to tail with striking silver scales, Fish lives up fully to his nickname when it comes to appearance. His body is narrow, and he typically carries himself low to the ground, moving fast and darting around from point to point as he reacts to whatever obstacles face him. Overall, he's remarkably smooth, with hardly any ridges on his scales at all beyond the slightest raised portion along his back. His snout, like the rest of him, is long and slim, ending in a sharp beak-like point, and his mouth is filled with identical tiny triangular teeth. His wings are narrow, with a surprisingly wide span, though when folded they appear much smaller. His long whip-like tail ends in a trio of small barbs, in sequence along the underside, and his eyes are a stormy blue-gray.
Mate: Open
Kits: N/A
Abilities: Healing Touch - He can cure small and moderate wounds by touching his snout or his paws to the injury for a few seconds. This healing process is painless, but can be exhausting for the patient depending on the severity of the wound. This is mostly used for cuts, scratches, and mild bites, but sometimes he will use it on gashes or moderate burns. Using this power on mortal wounds could risk the lives of both the patient and Syranae, as he needs tremendous energy to stimulate his patient's healing and his patient's body and immune system need tremendous energy to operate at such an accelerated pace.
Haze Cloak - Syranae wraps himself in a cloud of mist that varies according to the weather. This is usually applied when he's in flight, but it can be an effective way for him to recede into smoke or fog. This cloud is more stubborn than the natural sort, but it can still be blown away if the gust is particularly strong. It doesn't protect him in any way, but the cool condensation can have a soothing effect on wounds - though it has no real healing properties.
Supercell - Syranae gathers his strength and deploys a much larger form of his haze cloak, which can envelop a space up to roughly a hundred feet in diameter. This cloud cover has a spin to it of considerable speed, strong enough - if he wills it - to move unanchored objects and alter the trajectories of projectiles coming in or going out. He only uses this if his patients are in serious danger, and once he has dispelled it he has to rest for at least 24 hours before he can resume normal activity. The power, durability, and duration of the cell are dependent on his own physical state - if Syranae is sick or exhausted, this can also be blown away or easily navigated.
2 Strengths: Syranae can move very fast, both on land and in the air. He's best equipped for sharp turns and tricky maneuvers, but he can cover a lot of ground in a breakneck sprint if he absolutely needs to. He relies heavily on his speed and fast reflexes to avoid getting caught in close combat.
He's patient and determined - with a high threshold for emotional and physical pain, Syranae can take a serious beating from stubborn patients or rival dragons and still have the willpower to keep pushing. When this comes to Underground negotiations, Syranae is patient enough to keep a cool head if things get heated, and dedicated enough to peace to accept that a truce may not happen soon, maybe not even in his lifetime.
2 Weaknesses: Syranae cannot speak or vocalize at all. It's an unfortunate result of an accident that happened to him when he was a kit - he manages to communicate nonverbally well enough most of the time to be understood, but this is and always will be something that sets him apart from the others in an often negative way, making him an easier target for bullying and abuse - things that he ordinarily bows his head to with little objection.
He fatigues quickly. He can only fly short distances at at time, and prolonged fighting is almost impossible - traveling over many miles takes him days or weeks, while for others it may only take a day or two. This makes it very easy to overpower and outlast him in fights, which is why he prefers to focus on getting from A to B as fast as possible.
Other: OOC note - I am an art student, so there may be times when I'm only able to post once a week, though that should be rare and will never go unannounced. I'll also probably inevitably do some art of Rae as he is in this setting, so when that happens I'll probably post one of those as a header to this post, with links to the others!
Erm, also -- am I correct in assuming that the separate threads for the clans are where the RP at those locations will go, or will that all happen here? And is 250 a fair age for a young adult dragon, or would he need to be younger/older? --Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm just very excited for this rp!
