What We'll See
[/u][/i][/center]::;Appearance
height: 10' 8"
weight: 1700 Pounds
eye color: Gold
Horn color/style:Crest of multiple Amethyst colored horns sweeping directly back from her head
general appearance: Falile stands nearly twice the size of a normal horse. from snout to tail tip she is over twice her height in length. Her wings are like that of a bat's and when fully extended are twice the width of her length. When on land she folds her wings tightly to her upper flanks. the leather between the long bones of her wings is a slightly paler purple than the amethyst of her scales, and deep purple veins run throughout them in interesting tree-like patterns.
Falile is covered in small interlocking amethyst scales from the tip of her tail to the slits of her nose. She has larger scales that resemble large purple plates cascading down her lower jaw, along her neck, and half way down her underbelly to protect her core. Her scales have a pattern somewhat like a human's fingerprint, each being slightly different from the other, but are all the same at the very center, marking them as hers while making them different from all other dragons of her kind. She has a crest of seven horns sweeping back on each side of her head to protect her neck heart as well as a ridge of smaller horns that travels down the center of her spine all the way to the base of her tail. the ridge resembles a long-toothed and well worn saw in the way that every so often there is a horn that is shorter than the others, and a couple gaps along her spine. Her tail is long and supple, somewhat like a whip at the end, and is tipped in a cruel conical scale that she uses to pierce her enemies defenses.
While she may be twice the size of a horse, she is built more like a winged feline, all rippling muscle under scaled hide. She is built lower to the ground than horses with backward bending limbs. Her hands each have six digits, with four forward facing flexible fingers, and two opposable thumbs. each of the fingers are tipped in a great wicked talon which is colored as the horns on her head, from lighter purple, deepening to a dark black at the tips.
::;Personality
Like a cat, Falile is driven by curiosity and instinct.She is curious to a fault, and has been thrown into a heap of sticky situations because of it. Larger animals, hominid animal traps, and even a day and a night with her head stuck in a ruined well, are some of the most dire situations that she had jumped into tail first because of it.Only quick wit, a strong body, stronger scales, and quick reflexes allow her tale to still be told.
Falile's instinct comes in at a close second to her curiosity though. It has served her well, even while thwarting one of her great urges of curiosity. It has kept her well fed, on both meat and metal, and out of as much trouble and pain as can be expected with her tendencies. It seems to cut off the edge of her curiosity just before things can get seriously dangerous for her.
Up until now, Falile's curiosity toward hominids has been kept at bay by instinct to gain her breath weapon, then to unsheathe her wings, and lastly to get her drakine growth spurt. Now that she has gained some size, her instincts are no longer baying at her heels constantly, she is able to pursue her questions about hominids.
While not knowing how she will be around hominids, she has been found to be quite loyal and fiercely protective of the more intelligent animals she has gotten close to or traveled and hunted with. She is friendly and congenial to them as well.
What You Have
[/u][/i][/size]::;Weapons
Teeth, Claws, Tail, Horns, Breath weapons. Her teeth and claws are made of the same material as her armor.
::;Inventory
armor: Falile is covered from tail tip to snout with amethyst colored scales. The scales have a metallic sheen to them, and are as hard as fine damascus steel. In fact if observed very closely under a jeweler's eyepiece, each has it's own distinctive swirl, like a human's fingerprint. These scales keep her core temperatures constant and have an overlapping pattern to repel extreme heat and cold. She is also able to move the scales in such a way to make a rattle, like that of fifty rattlesnakes if agitated.She has interior protection as well, seeing as all of her bones are made of the same material as her scales To maintain strong scales and a healthy sheen Falile must consume metal ore or objects regularly to strengthen and replace scales that have been pulled or have fallen out. The best metal for an extremely strong coat is gold, silver, then steel or iron. Lesser metals are acceptable but she must take in more to have the same effect.
All About You
::;Alliance
Neutral - she eats anyone...
::;Special Powers
Skills
Flight: At age four Falile's wings emerged. She has gained a considerable amount of flying stamina and aerial dexterity.
limits: Falile must get at least six hours of uninterrupted sleep after flying all day.
side-effects: Flying such a heavy body takes quite a bit of food, and Falile becomes ravenous after a full day of flying, and must hunt to keep those around her safe.
Dragon Dash:Falile is able to make an insanely fast short dash while on land. This dash, usually with a pounce at the end is about twice as fast as a good horse can gallop.
limits: 25 yards maximum with no ill effects, having to catch her breath in between dashes
side-effects: If she goes more than 25 yards or attempts to dash before catching her breath, her body starts to starve of oxygen and shut down.
Language Sense:Falile has an uncanny ability to learn to read and speak all manor of languages. She has learned how to speak most of the intelligent animal tongues. She has had no contact to hominids as of yet so we do not know the side effects of speaking their tongues (probably death via assassins or some such)
limits: Not all animals of a particular kind are smart enough to intelligently speak their own tongue. Most animals avoid dragons when possible,
side-effects: Frustration and loneliness. The vast
majority of animals don't have the smarts or attention span for an intelligible conversation. All she can do sometimes is speak AT animals instead of WITH them.
Breath Weapons: Falile's breath weapon is that of liquid hydrogen. She has within her an organ that processes hydrogen from water and chills it to a proper temperature to keep it in liquid form This organ is held within a one gallon pouch that is lined with thick scales to keep the cold from spreading throughout her body.
Uses
Fire breath - Falile has a pair of scales in the back of her mouth that she may scrape together to create a spark to ignite her breath weapon. She uses this weapon in three different ways. The first way is more like a normal dragon's fire breath, where she expels it in a mist creating an inferno in the shape of a cone, spreading as it leaves her, The second is somewhat like Napalm. She takes the cold liquid into her mouth and mixes it with her saliva, then spits a large mouthful, which sticks to what it touches. The last way is in a concentrated stream, which can reach greater distances and has more intense heat.
Liquid Ice - Because of the arctic nature of liquid hydrogen,
Falile has fought the natural instinct to light every bit of her breath weapon and has turned it to uses other than fire. The liquid hydrogen that is unlit flash freezes that which it touches, though the freezing does not spread, nor does it go very deep, It works best on metal to make it brittle and easy to shatter. She uses this version of her breath weapon in the same way as the fire breath.
limits: She only has one gallon of fuel before she has to drink and allow time to pass for her body to process and chill the hydrogen. If her fuel is completely gone it takes nearly a half hour to completely replenish, but if she drinks while there is still some in there it takes a considerable less amount of time since there is already chill liquid within the pouch. Liquid Ice usually takes a greater amount of fuel to reach the desired effect, using ten times as much fuel to freeze the same size object as it takes to fry it. She can only freeze up to two human sized objects with her entire pouch before having to refill it.
side-effects: If she does not drink after emptying her pouch, her body will take the water that is already within her body, mostly from her blood, which will dehydrate her. If she does not drink after multiple times, it will continue to do that until the point of near death.
Powers
Mindspeak:Falile is able to speak or send mind pictures or memories to dragons or hominids with a Psychic spark. When in the company of multiple dragons or psychics she is able to narrow her mindspeak to a particular person instead of casting out her thoughts like a microphone.
limits: The range of her mindspeak is less than a mile, and she has to be within fifty feet to first contact someone else's mind. Also there are nearly no dragons, and she doesn't know any hominids.
side-effects: She is unable to filter out other dragon's mindspeech and will have to endure endless chatter from others of her kind at times.
Dragon Fear/Awe: There is something about a dragon that inspires either fear or awe in a person. It is like a knee jerk reaction that all intelligent or otherwise feel usually. It strikes those who are not used to the presence of a dragon the most, and how it strikes all depends on the dragon's mood and alliances. Those that are enemies of the dragon are struck with fear, while those that are allies with that dragon feel a sense of awe, and those that are neutral toward the dragon are split tending on their own personalities. This causes those who don't know the dragon to run sometimes, Animals who look into the dragon's eyes face to freeze in their tracks, and the dragon's friends to want to be close to and touch the dragon, or scratch them where it would make them feel best (mostly behind the horns or under the chin)
limits: Any intelligent being with a strong will or sharp mind can throw off the dragon's aura of fear or awe, and the fear becomes less potent each time someone is subject to it, making those who are around dragons often completely immune after a while.
side-effects:Strong feelings toward the dragon, either to flee, fight or touch, which can get extremely annoying.
Magic
Falile currently has no magics, but might learn some magic from a hominid.
::;Favourites/The Opposite
:;;Strengths [/u][/b][/color]
Metal, Meat, Moisture
Arrows, Spears, Swords (except for eating)
:;;Weaknesses [/u][/b][/color]
She is a Dragon... Strength of an elephant, senses of a mix between basset hound and an eagle, mind of a scholar, can spit fire or ice, and can fly...
-Curiosity: Her curiosity has gotten her in a pinch before and it definitely will again. She has held back her curiosity toward hominids up until this point, but can stand it no longer, she has finally gained enough confidence in her flying and physical prowess that she thinks she should be able to hold her own if it comes down to her getting into trouble.
-Warm blood: Because of her upbringing on a volcanic island, red blooded meat was a delicacy that they were rarely able to indulge in. Her father was only able to occasionally ferry over mammals from the mainland. If in the presence of blood she starts salavating and feeling hungry. This may present a problem while mixing with hominids since she really doesn't understand the difference between eating a two legged being and one with more.
-Language Barrier:(Temporary) As of yet, with no contact between herself and hominids, she hasn't gotten a chance to learn any of their languages. She hopes to remedy that as soon as possible though. Due to her proficiency in languages though, she should pick it up fairly quickly, very quickly if she finds someone to teach her, and extremely quickly if she finds someone she can mindspeak with.
-Metallic Munchies: Due to her survival instinct, Falile gets unreliable around large amounts of Gold, Silver, Steel or Iron. She must regularly eat these to keep her armored exterior and interior strong and beautiful. It also helps to keep her hording instinct at bay to have at least once weekly mouthfuls of coin or steel.
-Land Movement: Falile only has two gaits on land. The first is a cat-like slinking walk, and the other is her dragon dash. Her normal walk is something just faster than a horse's walk. if she tries anything in between, she becomes ungainly awkward, and clumsy.
-Inexperience with Hominids: She has had absolutely no contact with hominids at this time, and knows no hominid languages. The closest thing to contact was stealing metals while the hominids were asleep at their fire. It will take quite a while for her to get used to their laws, customs, and quirks.
:;;History [/u][/b][/color]
Falile was born to a clutch of seven, all but her being male. Upon leaving the egg, instinct drove the males to dominate the nest by killing the others. Her brother, a black that was later named Xaul came out the champion of the nest while Falile watched from behind her mother's tail. Falile made a nice meal of their siblings corpses when they all started cooling.
Falile's next six months consisted mainly of hunting the cave and black sand shoreline of anything and everything that moved. From small fish and crustaceans caught in rocky tide pools to slugs and snails found under rocks. She particularly enjoyed sneaking up on and devouring warm blooded sea birds. Falile's father was constantly hunting on the mainland during this time, to supplement their diets with more red meat, so their growth wasn't stunted in any way.
With no more than a week in between, Falile and her brother gained their breath weapons, which signified the time to leave their parent's protection and the island. Falile swam side by side across the long expanse between their island and the mainland, then parted ways when entering the temperate jungle. she stayed within that jungle for the next three and a half years hunting every morsel from the smallest rat to immense ridge backed reptiles which sported entirely too many teeth and jaw muscles. She was nearly half her current height and weight at the end of those long three and a half years. It was against a thick trunked juniper tree that she rent her back on both sides to release her wings.
During her first flight, Falile found a nice expansive ruins, an old town. She didn't know what befell the old inhabitants, but there was plenty of old and rusted metals, and even some coins within it. She was able to use this place as a home base, gathering all the metals into a nice horde, and hunt the surrounding forest. Slowly she grew to her current size, and her instincts keeping her from human kind slowly faded.
