Calamare

Calamare was born on Avangaea (Offline)

STATS
Name: Calamare Pudor
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Asandus (Old Cascatan)
Class: Water Dragon

Description: Calamare has a blue hide and a muscly build. She has a mutation in her genes that gives her lightened red fins that seem to almost glow in the water. These fins surround her head, run as a ridge down her back and envelop her tail. Calamare has flippered claws on both her front and back limbs. 
Personality: Caring and gentle, Calamare is a no-nonsense type of dragon. She is like that favourite teacher in school that saw right through you, managed to get to the core of whatever problem you had haunting you and somehow made it better by a seemingly random conversation in which she gave you some essential advice but still let you solve your own problem. As such, some people might call her a busybody.  
Short Bio: This Old Cascatan was exiled from their hometown. At that point, they decided, why the heck not go as far out as they possibly can? This may be out of shame, or out of spite, or out of a newfound sense of freedom, or all of the above.
Skills: Underwater breathing, fast swimmer (can travel on land but prefers the water)
Hobbies: Travelling and stretching the boundaries

HATCHING
It was late in the night when a small shadowy figure sped through the bay waters of Lantessama Isle. The brightly coloured orange nekrat male had hidden himself, too shy and scared by all the gathered people, sea dragons and other entities that were witnesses to the hatching of the clutch that he'd been a part of. But although he sensed a presence in the waters nearby, this one did not frighten him as the others had done before. 
"I see you got left behind." a warm female voice spoke his mind.
"I wasn't." Gernoht answered, "I chose to hide."
"Well then. If you're as free as me. How about we travel a bit together and see where life leads us?" the lone Asandus Calamare Pudor suggested.
Gernoht considered the notion. He could stay and make his home in the reefs, keep hidden and stay safe. But something about this sea-dragoness told him that she'll keep him safe. And he did not want to remain alone as he felt the sadness Calamare has been through because of it, despite her tough stance.
"I will. Call me Gernoht."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Calamare."

ADULTS
Gernoht swam a close circle around his travel companion. The calm Calamare had proved to be just the support he needed to grow more comfortable as he took his steps out into the many worlds that were. Older now, Gernoht could look back on the years they'd spent together and believe that their encounter had been brought about by Fate. 
Calamare, who'd been following her companion's train of thought snickered and added: "You would have worked out even without me."
"But time with you is better than anything else."
"Does that imply you would want to stay with me until both our lives run out."
"I will." the reply came without hesitation.
"Might be time to stop suppressing my reproductive cycle then." Calamare hinted,
Her tail brushed against Gernoht's tail base, a place that was quite sensitive and that send shivers down his spine. His eyes grew wide as he wondered:
"Are we ready to have children?"
"If not now, then when? I'm not getting any younger."
"Just how old are you."
"No comment." Calamare smirked and swam off, teasing her mate with a flick of her tail to try and catch her.

CHILDREN
Calamare had taken great care to break the news. Gernoht, her mate and bond, was after all a worrywart and he'd no doubt be fearful of all that could go wrong. But it was something that Calamare had wished for for a long time now. Though cut off from her home, she had build a new one with Gernoht and now they would extend their family.
"You wanted to tell me something?" Gernoht asked Calamare.
The two of them lived in the seas around Lantessama Isle, in a cosy set of caves and cliffs. Calamare could take on human form and she sometimes did to barter for some items on the isle, but she was usually content to stay in her draconic form. There were plenty of other sea dragons abound and most of what they needed could be found in the water.
"We won't be alone much longer." Calamare said carefully.
"Is it...?"
"We're expecting, yes." she said.
"That's wonderful!" Gernoht replied.
Calamare had not seen any doubts or concerns cross his facial features and she relaxed.
"You know I'm not going to let you do anything dangerous, right?"
"I figured as much." she grinned, "I won't stop doing the things I like, but I'll allow you to stay with me if it makes you feel better."

Calamare's abdomen grew larger and at one point she wondered if she might become a whale. It seems that they'd been blessed with more than one child. Gernoht worried of course, but the two of them were surrounded by a lot of care. Experience nekrat mothers visited her often. Zeni, the dragon Healer and Klip kept a close eye on them, ready to intervene should it be necessary. But no complications befell them and Calamare carried her children to term. She birthed a boy with dark hide and yellow fins and the bright yellow eyes of his father first. A daughter came next, her eyes were darker and her fins were a rusty orange. Her third child was another boy, with lighter hide and the same red fins that Calamare had.
Years passed and her children grew. Each of the three displayed a different character and at times their home was filled with broadcasted arguements as especially the eldest two, Zeb and Zhika, clashed. Zolu, her third was a more quiet child, sometimes seeming much older than her years. She'd been the first to communicate and she did so in a soft and feminine voice. Zeb had been not much later, and he'd made it a point of honour to be the first in everything since. Always studying and practicing. Zhika had taken her sweet time, but then she was much more physical in her interactions and was still the one who showed the most signs of affection.
Calamare and Gernoht did their best to teach them. Though exiled, her children still possessed the gifts of her kind. They had functional magic that meant they could do damage if they were not careful with it. They were strong empaths and conversed effortlessly with telepathy. As adolescents they started to learn to shapeshift and with it came the need to learn to speak verbally. Gernoht lamented that he could not help his children with that. But he was a patient teacher when it came to teleporting and showing them how to use the knowledge of the nekrats and their innate network. Though not purebreds, they were definitely part of it.
More years sped by and the trio were young adults. Capable and ready to head out on their own. Calamare stealed her heart, Gernoht was heartbroken and a lubbering mess.
"You'll always have a home with us." Gernoht sobbed.
"But it's your choice where to go. you could travel or head to one of the many Nexus schools to study. We hear good things of Caramaba, Zekira or the Academia Magica."
"No need to rush though." Gernoht added
