STATS
Name: Ivy
Age: Older Teen
Gender: Female
Race: Multiplist
Origin:
Western Equatorial Jungles of Atu

Description: A small (4'5"), bipedal humanoid with golden/tanned skin and dark brown hair. She has almond-shaped eyes, a large, flat nose, a round face and small round ears. Her long hair covers the short, bristly mane that runs from her neck down to the small of her back. As Ivy is self-conscious of her mane, she will subconsciously keep it hidden from others.
Personality: Multiplists see bonding to a Projectionist as a great honour. Those in their teens are usually chosen to bond, based upon credentials and family lines. Ivy has worked hard to be chosen for the honour of bonding a projectionist. She is dedicated, stressed and probably overwhelmed by all that is coming her way but she will not let it be seen on her face. She is quick to analyse those around her and will always try to decipher the power hierarchy in the surrounding people. Ambition is not a dirty word, it is a way of life.  
Skills: (granted by Divignis)
     *Lightning bottle: Can create lightning in a bottle as a way to read in the dark
     *Quick zap: small offensive lightning magic for self defense

STORY
Ivy was allowed to enter the sacred place where the eggs were kept. Few were granted access, even fewer would be allowed to try and bond one of the new Projectionists. Her lineage had been a key, but a simple one to be honest. She'd had to hone her mind and soul to add substance to her key, to make it shine. She'd barely had a childhood, every waking moment spent studying. But it had been worth it for this moment.
Ivy kept her face blank and her hands still. She'd need to look the part, even today. She'd probably never be able to relax for the rest of her life. But that was okay. She wanted this.
The eggs started hatching and dragons appeared, their crests marked with esoteric symbols that she knew from her lessons in alchemy. Even as hatchlings they were pretty big and they would grow to dwarf her.
A sandy yellow hatchling drew her attention as it seemed to be coming toward her. Her crest marked with the signs for fire and separate. Her eyes spoke of intelligence, her stance of power but the voice that entered Ivy's mind was warm as an open hearth, comforting and soothing:
"My name is Divignis."

STATS
Name: Divignis
Gender: Female
Race: Projectionist (Atuan Mutt)
Origin:
Western Equatorial Jungles of Atu

Description:
     *Colours: Yellow, darker at the feet and lighter at the head.
     *Size: 20-25' at the shoulder
     *Pattern: just lightly mottled
     *Breeding: clutches of 5-12 eggs, colours in offspring depend upon mate (elemental vs not). Offspring requires bond.
Requirements: All must have at least one bond. Can bond to more than one being (prefer humanoids) at a time. When a bond dies they can be replaced by another.
Cultural Notes: Generally consider themselves superior to humanoids. Personalities vary from pacifistic to aggressive, but use of abilities is reserved and controlled, rarely if ever used during fights or to manipulate others intentions. Abilities used (aside from telepathy) are often done privately (or within the presence of bonded); public use is considered risque.

Personality: Haughty, flashy but hardworking behind the scenes
Skills:
Lightning: (Fire x Air) Extremely quick to manifest and to disappear thereafter, leaving an ozone-taste and a hairs-standing-on-end sensation for the user. Lightning-based abilities are difficult to harness, but are extremely useful once mastery is complete.

STUDY
Divignis made lightning crackle from her talons. It was but a little trick that was highly inappropriate to perform in public, but when she was by herself she enjoyed watching the energy run across her
body. The crackling died down at the tip of her tail, leaving the telltale smell of ozone in the air and a pleasant tingling in her limbs.
But enough play, she needed to work. Her bond Ivy would need more skills to raise her rank. She was so very feeble but despite that she never let her mind freeze in fear. It was remarkable and also a bit dazzling to see the humanoids act as they did. But then, they were smart enough to borrow the powers of beings as regal as the projectionists, so they were at least crafty enough to make their situations better. And Divignis did enjoy the way she and Ivy would talk and theorise.
She'd already given Ivy a skill to use lighting as a lightsource. Ivy loved to read after all. But in the light of her recent musings, Divignis decided that her bond needed a way to defend herself. A dragon couldn't be everywhere at once.
Pleased with herself, she set to working.
