image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Buyl

Age:

 45

Gender: 

 Male
Physical Description:  Bronze-skinned and dark-haired with brown eyes and a lithe build. Buyl descends from Asian people. Though his family has travelled across the universe for many generations, they kept their customs. So Buyl usually wears a traditional clothing. 
Personality: Buyl has been training as a monk and as such he shows a reserved face to the world. He keeps his private thoughts internal but he does have his own view on things. As a youth he was more outgoing and outspoken.  
Short Bio: Buyl's family travels through the Nexus, offering their services of prayer, exorcism and advice to those who want them. For their work they usually receive enough to survive but as a family they often spend time apart. As such, Buyl has drifted toward lantessama Isle and has been giving lessons on zen and meditation there. 
Special Powers?:  - 


METSAHOGI
'magnanimous' in Armenian

Description:  A smokey-gold, frail-looking icedeer. Metsahogi has one set of draconic wings, long antlers adorned with silver and copper streamers and a fluffy mane and tail. Despite inheriting his father's fragility trait, Metsahogi managed to form wings by cheer strength of will. 
Personality: Metsahogi is stubborn and righteous. His big ideals translate into a steadfast and determined dragon but his fragility holds him back, meaning he often wears out fast.
Powers fragility, telepathy, order magic, light magic, wind magic
Adopter:   DIGITALIS

Buyl, the Buddhist monk travelling the galaxy, had left the cavern he used as a school and meditation room to join in the festivities. Though his beliefs didn't celebrate the winter solstice per se, he did understand the sentiment of enjoying the seasons and the beauty their change could bring. Looking at the ephemeral beauty of the snowflakes, as fleeting as the beauty of the blossoms in spring and the coloured leaves in autumn, the monk felt it was quite right to be out here. 
"The flakes are fleeting as hope." A gold-coloured see-through dragon remarked.
"Ah but as snowflakes return each winter, so does hope spring eternal." Buyl retorted.
"What if we could help out hope?" Metsahogi mused using his combined magical abilities to make the snowflakes grow and sparkle.
"Is that a proposition?" Buyl asked, "Because I might be willing to take you up on that offer. Although you might prefer someone younger."
"Youth is overrated." Metsahogi ended the conversation as the bond was formed. 

 

 

2. CHIHOU (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Chihou

Age:

 19

Gender: 

 Male
Physical Description:  Chihou is a puma-kin with some shifting abilities. He can shift between full puma and mostly human but he always retains some puma characteristics. He has a soft brown fur and tufted ears. His build is rather chubby but he doesn't mind being a bit on the heavy side, that's warm. 
Personality: Like most cats, Chihou loves to lounge about. He's pretty much a homebody and though he does enjoy a nice hunt and some regular exercise, he won't forego his naps to move. He is a quiet and relaxed type of person.
Short Bio:  Chihou has drifted away from the other puma-kin as his kind is used to living solitary. But that doesn't mean he is a drifter. In fact, Chihou is looking for a place to settle. He visited Lantessama and is surprised to have bonded. Whether or not he'll stay is yet to be seen. 
Special Powers?:  Shifting.  


ULME
'smoulder' in Danish

Description:  A rust-brown reindeer dragoness with auburn-tinted feathers. She has curved horns and two sets of large, feathery wings on her back. In her ear she wears earrings. 
Personality: Ulme wears the colours of autumn and she always seems a bit wistful or worried about what's to come. She is quite pessimistic and would prefer to remain in the safety of her living space.
Powers Telepathy, teleportation, fire control, smoke magic, cheer
Adopter  JKAT

Puma-kin Chihou stepped through the snow, cursing his momentarily lapse in judgement to go out and see what the fuss was about. Cold snow clung to his paws, wetness curled his fur and whiskers and felt absolutely awful. That magic fog was also a nuisance and Chihou sneezed just at the thought of it. Just as he was about to return to his temporary lodgings - much warmer and comfortable - a strange pull stopped him. Looking around, he found himself - a feline hunter! - stalked by a reindeer. Affronted he blushed but luckily his face was more like a cat's today and the rush of blood could not be seen.
"Can I come with you? Warm and comfortable seems like just what I need." the brown-coloured reindeer, Ulme, asked.
She sighed sadly and added, "Although maybe you wouldn't like an intruder in your home. I am quite big."
Chihou shook his head and spoke before he could think: "The place is big enough for both of us. And I would love your company and warmth." 

 

 

3. DIANTHA (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Diantha

Age:

 Undisclosed (not that old yet for her species)

Gender: 

 Female
Physical Description:  Diantha is a half-devil half human hybrid. She is young compared to others of her species with long curly blond hair, small black horns, black sclera with dark pupils that shift in colour, a thin nose and high cheekbones. She has a nice build with curves but not too apparent. 
Personality: Diantha is ambitious and eager to prove herself. She feels a bit lost in between the two species. She'll never be a full human nor a full devil and it's hard finding a place in the world/universe/nexus. 
Short Bio: Diantha has been travelling a lot, trying to look for others like her because she knows there must be some. Her travels have led her to Lantessama where she's been welcomed but some people look at her with unease. She's likely to move on in the near future. 
Special Powers?:  Teleportation, Shadow Magic, Smoke Magic (sulphur smell effects are a must), Longevity


ILHAMA
'inspirational' in Hausa

Description:  A dark reindeer dragoness with draconic wings and copper-coloured fur and wingsails. She sports two tails and long antlers which are decorated with gold and copper streamers. 
Personality: Ilhama is a no-nonsense, concise but charming individual. She says what she thinks but means no harm and will at least try to not hurt others with her words. 
Powers telepathy, size shift, cause cheer, chime, musical assistance
Adopter:   RETTA

Diantha weaved her way in between the festival-goers. People were more relaxed then usual and the half-devil almost felt like she fit in. But tomorrow things would be different again. Her nature had her spreading a few small hexes around. Nothing too serious, just some people who would slip and fall, probably not even any broken bones. or at least Diantha hoped that or she might get in trouble and have to leave sooner than planned. It was this part of her nature that always ended up being a problem. Misfortune needed to happen but people always blamed her. 
"That's quite the pickle." a black dragoness with copper-coloured wings said.
Diantha felt a little better and recognised the cheer charm that was all around the dragon. 
"Hey, no hexing!"
"Why not? You've been doing it too."
"I guess you can't help yourself either, can you?"
"I guess devils wouldn't like me much." Ilhama noted.
"No they wouldn't. you're just perfect though."
"Why thank you."

 

 

4. FERGUS (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Fergus

Age:

 42

Gender: 

 Non Binary Male
Physical Description:  Fergus is small-statured with thick arms and legs and a barrel chest. He shaves his head but carefully maintains his eyebrows and lashes, rendering his face more feminine. He has small round ears, a nose that has been broken before and greying hair.
Personality: As a mercenary, Fergus has seen his fair share of battle and crime. He hires himself out as a guard, as a soldier, and as whatever else people will pay him for. He isn't squeamish, he can keep cool in crises and he has a caustic sense of humour that has charmed more than one evil mastermind.
Short Bio: Fargus has travelled a lot, earning a living as he travels and searches for fame and fortune. he's lived long enough to know he's likely to never find either. Recently he's been brought to Lantessama where he's been helping guard the library. Though it's a cushy job it's far too sedate a life to keep Fergus entertained for long.  
Special Powers?:  - 


KEHTO
'cradle' in Finnish

Description:  A dark brown reindeer dragon with dark grey fur and feathers. Kehto has two tails ending in a fuzzy tip, a beard, a furry mane and fuzzy front paws. His long antlers stand out against his dark colouring. He has black markings all across his body and a small gold earring. 
Personality: Kehto is discreet and spiteful. He has the memory of an elephant when it comes to what others have done for or against him and he's petty enough to want revenge but knows better than to leave clues pointing to him. 
Powers telepathy, understand language, winter magic, cheer magic
Adopter:   ZEKIRAN/SHARD

The dark-coloured reindeer dragon with black marks and dark grey fur moved swifly through the snow and felt quite exposed. His lighter-coloured siblings would surely blend in better. Which is exactly why Ketho headed for the forest. He should be looking for a bond but the reindeer dragon wasn't exactly looking for one of the innocent youngsters that had been presented to them. 
Lashing his two tails impatiently, Ketho dislodged some snow and a muffled cry alerted him that he wasn't alone.
"Who's there?" he called, but had already pinpointed the mercenary guard before he could answer.
"Fergus. And I'm supposed to be here, you should be at the sands doing what dragons do."
Kehto snorted sarcastically and said: "I think I'd much prefer your company."
"Is that so? Well be my guest." Fergus added and gestured toward his sheltered seat beside the fire.

 

5. HOSANNA (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Hosanna

Age:

 245

Gender: 

 Female
Physical Description:  A tall elemental elf with an affinity for air. She has the traditional colouring for her tribe: blond hair, green (or blue) eyes, pale complexion and sharp features. She is stronger than she looks and has a lot of stamina. She is light as a feather due to her nature.
Personality: Hosanna is quite strict and punctual. She is an intellectual person, not bothering much with feelings and always considering the logical solution to problems (think Dr. Spock).
Short Bio: Hosanna had been issued to go investigate Lantessama Isle only she happened to arrive right in the middle of the Reindeer Festival. She'll have some explaining to do when she gets home (that is if she chooses to go home at all)
Special Powers?:  Elemental Air Magic, High Intelligence. 


SINGILU
'mirage' in Korean

Description:  A dusty blue reindeer dragoness with silver-coloured fur and feathers. Singlu has long antlers, adorned with streamers, a mane, furry boots and a single tail with a fuzzy tip. Her clawed feet look sharp but are very dexterous. Her wings are more draconic in appearance with only feathers along the joint.  
Personality: Singilu will seldom be seen unless she chooses to appear. With her abilities she's a true master of hide and seek and she prefers to stay in the background while doing what she wants. 
Powers telepathy, teleportation, order magic, smoke magic
Adopter:   RETTA

Hosanna should have appeared in the secluded mountain regions of Lantessama. Somehow, some other magic had displaced her teleportation spell and Hosanna would up on the back of a reindeer dragon. Not too uncomfortable but not exactly the low)key arrival she'd been going for.
"Don't worry." the female reindeer dragoness, Singilu, with the metallic streamers said, "Most people won't remember what hit them in the morning. Too much cheer. How about we go for a ride? You're as light as a feather."
"I could use some aerial intel." Hosanna shrugged and went along with the offered claw.

 

6. LYANCA (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Lyanca

Age:

 104

Gender: 

 Female
Physical Description:  A tall Wood Elf with long brown hair, green eyes, a long nose and slender build. She usually wears flowing garments but when travelling always puts on her leather chest-armour. 
Personality: Patient and stubborn, Lyanca always says that a single drop repeated endlessly can both decimate a mountain and create a stalagmite. As such small things should not be underestimated. 
Short Bio: Lyanca had heard about the Plant Dragons at the Lantessama Greenhouse and she came to investigate the new species. She's been staying on the island for a quite a few years, not really intending to bond but well...
Special Powers?:  Longevity, Intelligence, Green magic (rudimentary).  


KUUSK
'fir tree' in Estonian

Description:  A slender, green reindeer dragon, Kuusk has curved antlers, furred limbs, feathery wings and feathers on his shoulders. His mohawk mane is usually unruly. 
Personality: With a real green thumb, Kuusk loves all plants and will make it his life's work to spread green all across the nexus. 
Powers verbal speech, warmth, light control, plant growth
Adopter:   RETTA

Leisurely walking in between the spectators, Lyanca felt buoyed by the cheer that hung thick in the magical fog. The humans probably didn't notice how their emotions were being swayed but as it was such a pleasant emotion, Lyanca figured it didn't need to be addressed. Still, she tried to keep from being influenced by it. Some of these people would be getting a bad hangover tomorrow. Slowly the wood elf made her way to the Greenhouse, intending to rest and turn in. But before she could make good on her plans, a large green shape swooped by.
"Excuse me milady, I've heard talk about a greenhouse around here." the green reindeer dragon, Kuusk said.
"It's just up ahead." Lyanca offered.
When both looked at each other, something clicked. Maybe it was their shared love of plants. Maybe it was the lingering effect of cheer. Or maybe it was fate.

 

7. PIETRA (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Pietra

Age:

 23

Gender: 

 Female
Physical Description:  A normally built young woman with tanned skin, brown hair, light blue eyes, a straight nose and wide mouth. She wears utilitarian clothes though should she live somewhere else she might wear something more fancy.
Personality: Pietra is pragmatic and to-the-point. She works to earn her keep and to curb her energy and she dreams to satisfy her mind. 
Short Bio: Pietra was very young when her family moved to Lantessama and she hardly has memories to her earlier home. Her parents worked on the farms and Pietra joined them when she was old enough to work. She has an affinity with animals and has been tending them for the past years. 
Special Powers?:  - 


HUOHUA
'sparkle' in Chinese

Description:  A slender, snowy teal reindeer dragoness with small antlers, a mohawk, furry boots and fuzzy tail. She has large feathery wings, a set of buttwings and another set further down on her tail. Lights follow her spine from the tip of her nose down to the tip op her tail. 
Personality: Easily scared, unsure and wary, Huohua prefers to hide from the scary world. She's a master of disguise. 
Powers verbal speech, telepathy, empathy, strobe illusions, light control
Adopter:   DRAGONFLIGHT

Pietra swerved from one stall to the next. She'd been eating skewers and waffles, had been drinking fruit juices and mulled wine. She knew she would feel the effects in the morning but she'd lament then and live tonight. Speaking off tonight, Pietra decided she'd better go check on the animals before heading home. 
Walking across the deserted fields, Pietra was relieved to see that the animals were pretty relaxed. The snow-effect had not reached their pastures and the temperature was less frigid here. Topping off the feed, Pietra felt confident that she could sleep in a bit longer tomorrow. Chances were that most people would be sleeping in. 
A sudden sound alerted her that somebody else was around. Not easily frightened, Pietra figured one of the other farmers or stable-hands had had the same idea that she had and she called out: "Good Night!"
A small shriek reached her ears like an animal indistress. Pietra rushed toward the sound, intending to help. She happened upon a big bulk of blue covered in lights that was trying to hide.
"Do you need help? Are you hurt?" she asked.
The reindeer dragoness squeaked again and tried to burrow. Her lights dimmed and then pulsed back on as Huohua got scared in the dark. Pietra quietly stroked the dragon, her innate calm helping the dragon to relax as she latched on to the steadying mind for comfort.
"You are nice. Don't ever leave me!"

 

8. SABIA (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Sabia

Age:

 Undisclosed (old)

Gender: 

 Undisclosed, presents as female
Physical Description:  Sabia is a dark-skinned demon with large black leathery wings, small angled horns and black dreads. She is on the small side, looking quite weak and fragile. 
Personality: Sabia is a demon and as such is quite used to spending time in the less than savoury regions of the Universe and Nexus. She is not an evil presence but neither is she good. She believes in greyscale positions and would be a good mediator if people were to trust her. 
Short Bio:  Sabia has travelled far and wide. When she stays for a while, she is usually followed by calamity, destruction and death. In the best interest of all the other races in the universe, Sabia prefers to keep on the move.

TIRAMOH
'autumn' in Tajik/Persian

Description:  A fragile-looking orange-red icedeer. Tiramoh has curved antlers, a short mane, pawed feet and a long tail. Like most reindeer dragons in this clutch, his ability to form wings while gestating was impaired. In addition he also retained her father's fragility trait.
Personality: Tiramoh knows his power is necessary, but it is also depressing. He's often downcast and worries a lot about what people will think of him. (He always perks up a bit when children are awed by the splendour of autumn leaves)
Powers telepathy, fragility, autumn magic, plant decay
Adopter:   DRAGONFLIGHT

A dark presence looked unto the festivities below and sighed. It would be best to not linger here lest her presence sour things. Sabia was used to living at the fringe of society and moving often. This world had seen it's fair share of disaster and she would not add to it. Turning, the demoness nearly ran into a red reindeer dragon with curly locks and curved antlers. The dragon was wingless and seemed to be surrounded by a shroud of fog. 
"I sense a likeness in you." Tiramoh said, "And I feel it might be best if I join you although I cannot fly."
"That is not a problem." Sabia answered and snapped her fingers to solve the absence of wings by granting the red dragon a set of smoky replacements. 

 

9. VERO (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Vero

Age:

 25

Gender: 

 Female

Personality: Vero is an outgoing woman with a loud voice and a distinct presence. She has a musical way of talking that lend her an exotic air. She loves to dance and is a sensual woman without actively trying to seduce others. 
Short Bio: Vero was very young when she moved to Lantessama. her parents work around the isle, and she naturally joined the group of workers that support the dragonry. She's handy and social and a jack-of-all-trades.

LASÆNG
'streamer" in Thai

Description:  A slender brown reindeer dragon, Lasæng has long antlers, blue fur and wingsails. His feathers have lights along the edge and his front limbs have some black markings. Bright metallic streamers adorn his antlers.
Personality: Lasæng is a romantic, fanciful dragon who loves stories. He has a tendency to daydream and is always one of the first to volunteer. 
Powers telepathy, verbal speech, understand language, musical assistance
Adopter:   RETTA

Vero gratefully accepted the offer to switch. She'd been manning on the drink stalls since the afternoon and she was raring to go explore the festival on her own. Maybe she'd meet up with some friends later but she really wanted to look all around and experience it all. The cold of the snow, the taste of the snowflakes, the buzz of the uncharacteristic fog... it was all so magical and exciting. Vero enjoyed her life but the occasional festival kept things thrilling.
"I don't know if snow is thrilling, I'd call it romantic." a masculine voice said behind her.
"It can be." Vera agreed without turning around, "But even romance carries the thrill of expecting more."
"That's true." the voice huffed, "But I still prefer to call the snow romantic."
"That's your right." Vera said as she turned around to meet this stranger and came face to face with a brown reindeer dragon with blue wings.
"Nice to meet you, you may call me Lasæng."

 

10. WIERSZYK (TAKEN)


image made with Portrait Works

Name:

 Wierszyk

Age:

 undisclosed (old but not close to the end of his life)

Gender: 

 Male
Physical Description:  A wizened man with pointed ears, straight white hair, bushy eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips. His eyes lack pupils and are a uniform frosty teal. Wierszyk moves surprisingly easily for his apparent age and he often surprises people with his speed. 
Personality: Wierszyk is secretive and often smiles to himself as if he's recalling some funny memory. He comes across as mysterious and a bit cold. There's something dangerous about him though no-one has ever caught him saying a bad/threatening word. 
Short Bio: Wierszyk has a knack of appearing where he needs to be when he needs to be. He seems to know everyone and all the secrets they carry and when he laughs his booming laugh, people are certain that they are mistaken about him. Nobody knows when he showed up at Lantessama. Nobody remembers where they know him from. He's just there and he's a jolly good fellow....
Special Powers?:  Ice Magic, probably extra powers that he hasn't shown off yet (go wild!)


SEOLI (m)
Korean for "frost"

Description:  Seoli is a feint blue, stocky reindeer male with light-coloured beard, fur and feathers. He has clawed feet. 
Personality: Seoli is an old-fashioned character with a hypnotic charm. His way of speaking feels a bit dated but that makes him classy and strangely alluring. 
Powers verbal speech, telepathy, telepathy, frosty breath (chilling cloud)
Adopter:   DRAGONFLIGHT

The chill in the air felt good as Wierszyk trudged through it. The old ice mage enjoyed the cheer of people as they enjoyed themselves in the cold. And he remembered himself riding under the cold winter sky in a sled. There was something about the season that was magical, especially for people like him. As the Ice Mage walked around the sands, heads turned and greeted him. Reindeer bowed their heads and those with appropriate magic offered snow and frost to him. 
It was said that dragons chose their riders, but sometimes it was the riders doing the choosing. Wierszyk greeted the reindeer quietly but dismissed most as he felt their connections to others. But somewhere around here was one that would be his for the foreseeable future. Looking carefully, Wierszyk caught sight of a pale deer with curved antlers and a healthy chonk. Though not particularly powerful, Seoli felt like a good match that would serve with grace. And that was what was needed.
"You're the one." Wierszyk told Seoli and the reindeer dragon bowed his head in agreement.
"I will join you on your travels to bring joy."
"Ho Ho Ho." laughed Wierszyk and off they went.
