Esferien

HATCHING
Day had begun on star city, announced by a lighting of soft yellow-white-lights that brightened the bays and made them shine. In one of the hatching bays, Yulisath was tending her eggs. Excited she saw them move and crack. The candidates were called and soon a green female hatched. Her long, serpentine body still dripping with albumen and spackled with shell detritus. Maw gaping to take in her first breath, the tiny green dragonet spread her wings--and the audience's noise-level picked up a notch. The dragonets wings... weren't quite attached to her body! They floated like cyborware enhancements to either side of her forelimbs, stretching just a little as the dragonet gained her balance.
As if waiting for that first bonding proclamation to be made, several other dragonets cracked or burst or just plain shattered out of their ovoid confines when their sister had made her choice. The first, a brown as pale as tea with cream, slithered towards the candidates as another pair, a sunshine yellow and another, grassier green, got their bearings.
After the bonding of his brown brother, the yellow dragonet was already bouncing and stumbling, his detached wings bobbing at his sides, towards a clump of Star Dancers. Indubitably, he picked Geel, and when the pair of them passed the attending archivist, he tried to make the creature guess what his name was! Finally, he admitted to being Esferien, and the pair went on.
Swarming back to her group of sisters, Geel was congratulated by the calm green, but looked envious upon by her younger sister Violet who did not like not being the first to bond. But when she noticed that Esferien talked to her as well and let her stroke his head with her claws she quieted down.
"Thanks." Geel answered, "She can be quite the handful, but she is my sister."
"She has good nails." Esferien answered shamelessly.

Personality: A joyful spirit, Esferien is always looking for the next big game. He's one of those dragons with a very high energy level (bouncing of the walls, with him at least, is an understatement!) He can be gentle, and he's always kind, but his general enthusiasm for the world at large often labels him as a troublemaker. Give him a large, free range, and he'll be the most happy.
Cyborware: Esferien may redeem one minor cyborware token upon adult-hood.

ADULTHOOD
"Do I have to?" Groen asked her sisters.
"Think of it as doing it for her own good." Violet chided.
"And just imagine how fun it'll be to browse aorund." Geel added.
"But I think Elvera is perfect as she is. Why does she need Cyberware?" Groen interjected again.
"Honestly, it's your fault." Violet sighed, "You've been growing those mushrooms in that dank and dingy cave you call a lab. Elvera is such a klutz she can't help getting hurt. Don't you want to help her?"
At this time the three Star Dancers reached their quarters in Star City. There dragons were all at home, minding the fort as they say. Althouh it didn't look much like a fort. Much too clean and bright. But maybe the walls keeping out space was a testament to just how much of a stronghold the dragonry was.
"I sense tension, what's going on?" Esferien asked, sniffing each of the Star Dancers while bouncing about.
At his size, that was quite dangerous. Corriente being the smallest of the trio kept a safe distance but was stern enough to boom:
"Keep calm Esferien, you might endanger us all with your antics!"
"He's just a bit boisterous." Eldera fussed, "The walls are strong enough to take him."
"You're too lenient." Corriente huffed.
Violet picked up on her bond's irritation and spread it out, only managing to hit Esferien with more nervous energy that made him bounce about.
"We were just talking about redeeming your cyberware tokens." Geel exclaimed, as always excited, "So Esferien, how would you feel about getting a tattoo? Or some extensions? Maybe a few piercings?"
"Why would you need to enhance yourself?" Corriente asked.
"My sisters thought Eldera might benefit from some luminous antennae to keep her from stubbing her toes in the dark." Groen explained.
"Oh, I don't think we've been to that store yet. Browsing does sound fun!" Esferien agreed with his bond.
"I wouldn't mind a look." Eldera said soothingly, "Why don't we go get some 'fresh' air?"
The three Star Dancers and their dragons traversed the Dragonry and entered the appropriate building. Eldera and Corriente had steered everyone away from the illegal places. They only brought problems, even if Violet had insisted she could make anyone help them in the right way. After all, how else had three tiny beings been able to care for dragons?
They were greeted by a spectacular human woman with horns protruding from her forehead, long black hair with meshes of bright colour and cool metallics and luminous lines and patches on the visible skin of her arms.
"Hello, how can we make your life better?" she asked.
"We'll just be browsing for now...." Groen said and the six of them dispersed to look at the different stations to see what was possible.
