Age: 19 years

Gender: Female
Role: Mentor

Appearance:

(c) to CORAL_C on picrew

Veetabhi is the embodiment of femininity, with smaller facial features, larger cheeks, and a smaller face. Her jawline is strong, a defining line cutting across her face enough to distract anyone. And her flashing white teeth straightened to a T. This woman's face is heart-shaped and long, with clear almond skin, having just finished off her hormonal teen years, she is only left with small blemishes that have since healed over. Her skin has warm undertones, allowing her to better tan, and giving her skin a darker appearance. Her eyes are bright and large, with emerald green orbs flecked with hints of gold. A look into her stunning eyes and you can see the intricacy of the colors, with stunning deep greens lining her outer iris, turning paler in comparison as it reaches her pupils. The depths of them have no end, as the various greens intermingle with strands of gold, making her eyes bright and flashy.

Framing her eyes are a set of long dark lashes, thin and delicate, nearly reaching her softly angled, low-arched eyebrows, colored a dark brown to match her hair. Beneath her lower lash line, lies a small birthmark, or mole, just a small black dot. Veetabhi's lips are full and pink, shaped into a perfect cupids-bow. There slightly turned down on the edges giving them the look of a slight pout. Her nose is small and straight, coming to a slight curve at the tip of her nose, turning it up and giving her a slight button nose appearance.

In addition to this, she has another facial "marking" of sorts, she has a scar crossing horizontally across the bridge of her nose, though it has faded so one will have to be up close to see it. She also has dark freckles, very similar to the color of her skin, making them subtle in her appearance. In addition to these features she also has piercing, particularly one on each of her ear lobes, and then her cartilage is pierced on her right ear with a silver band. Her hair itself is very long and thick, stretching down to her tailbone in long black waves. She has a wolf cut, meaning her hair has more choppy layers on top, and then longer layers on the sides of her head. With natural waves to it, and the occasional sporadic curl to it.

Her figure is slightly curved, with a faint outline of an hourglass shape to it, while her bust is smaller. Veetabhi comes to stand at a solid 5'4" inches, making her on the cusp of average height and short. Despite her smaller size, she makes up in strength and agility. She is quick and light on her feet, being able to maintain a larger degree of flexibility while also seeming toned. She has been training for a while, you can see the muscle in her arms and legs, worked on for years as she's trained with her bonded leader. Veetabhi has trained for the position of Squad leader for a very long time, and finally earning it is the validation she needed to prove to others of her success and hard work. At a glance this female's stride is swift and smooth, she walks with purpose, with her head held high, making her seem like she always has somewhere important to be. Her scent is that of lavender and lightly of lemongrass.

Personality:

Veetabhi is young, just a year above the oldest new rider, yet she had been riding and training for years. Being so close to the ages of the new riders she fears she won't be respected enough, and with so many new riders she's hoping she can grab hold of them to pull the riders through their training. The more cooperative they are, the easier this will be, though she still has her fears. She tends to put up a defensive front, not letting anyone in unless absolutely necessary, almost a mental wall between her and the world if you will. She is more closed off and independent when she can be. Now don't get me wrong, she is fine around people and can work in a team, and can especially lead a team, but there are moments she just needs peace to herself. Now she does have a bit of a temper, and being surrounded by hormonal, irritable kids is not helping this woman's case. She is willing to push aside her stereotype of the other teenagers, despite being one herself, if they are willing to, in turn, prove their dedication and willingness to learn. Veeta has had to grow up fast, far mature beyond her years to the point where she doesn't consider herself to still technically be a teen. She is a great teacher, able to explain things clearly and decisively with her words. Her actions and words are straight and to the point, she has never been one to beat around the bush. She can often come across as sharp or sarcastic without meaning to.

Veetabhi's success stems from her intense training and impeccable memory, without it she wouldn't be the person she is today. She pushes herself to the limit, forcing long nights and extra training days. She has pushed so hard for this position and once she found out she had been selected for it she was ecstatic. She is a competitive person at heart, and losing her biggest competition was not an option. She works great with those of younger age but pushes past any doubt when dealing with riders with greater years of experience. She is confident in her knowledge and ability to teach and guide people. Veetabhi is very particular about how things are run, she's not a 'my way or the highway' and is open to criticism, but likes to run things a certain way. She is a quick thinker, and very intelligent, many times this skill has saved her life, and as a dragon rider she believes this is an essential skill. Veetabhi also understands the leader she needs to grow into, being new to the position there will be slight hiccups along the way, but she is goal and task orientated and very adaptable, so reaching there shouldn't necessarily be an issue.

Her patience may be a bit shorter with those that she finds annoying or with those trying to seek attention. She may be social, but it's to an extent. Her friends are often those that she speaks with, and while she may hop in on a group conversation, it is not likely. This female may also be sarcastic, her comments are meant to be too harmful, but it may seem that way to a more sensitive person. She is normally more serious, so she won't speak this way a whole lot. Veetabhi is hardworking, always putting forth her best effort. She is dependable, and you can count on her to do her part, she is not one to sit by and idly watch. Veeta is very determined and is not one to give up easily. Veetabhi can be apathetic around half of the time, appearing blank or emotionless. This female will show emotions like concern, or elation, but keeps her 'private life' closed off. She doesn't need to appear weak or look as if she is seeking attention. Her goal is to keep her affairs and life on the down low, not wanting to draw attention to herself for her safety and to focus on the tasks ahead. Particularly training the new riders, as it has consumed a lot of her time.

Veetabhi hates to be pitied, and will definitely act more snappy if she is. When this woman makes threats, she means them, they are to instill fear into whom she is addressing. She should be taken seriously. They are used as a last resort to get her point across and are never used excessively. This rider is loyal, loyal to herself, to her friends, and to those who she believes are in the right. This female is also quite protective, her circle of friends is smaller, and to lose one of them would be horrid and she would never forgive herself. Veeta is an observant person, if she sees something that seems off, she takes it into consideration. Especially if it comes to the new riders and their dragons. The female holds herself to a higher standard, if she were to miss something, she may take it a bit more personally. Though she won't let it show to those around her, she tries to be strong for the sake of others. She fears if they see her crack she won't be as respected.

Veeta is hardworking, always putting forth her best effort. Encouragement or coddling won't help her as much in a stressful situation, she needs more of a demand or something fear-inspiring if she is going to kick ass. Her words are chosen carefully as is her tone, Veetabhi can be a very convincing person when she needs to be, often using the skill on those she wants something from or to convince someone of something.

Nuria

"the Lord of the burning fire"

Age: 247 years

Gender: Female
Role: New Dragon

Class: Seer Class

Appearance:

Nuria’s impressive stature brings her to stand at a solid 19 ft tall at the shoulder, not quite 250 years she still has room to grow. Her build is muscular, when she moves you can see the power in her stride and in Nuria’s powerful flight capabilities. This dragon had a set of double wings, the first set sized large and powerful, the top of it is colored black and the underside is a wine red. Her wings are made of a membrane-like material, thicker at the base and thinner towards their tips, of which have a small, hook-like spike on the end of each of the bones in her wing. Her second set of wings is only slightly smaller and is colored the exact same as her larger wings and the same in anatomy. This pair is underneath her other set of wings, this allows her to choose to fly with one set or both, as she can tuck the smaller pair into her sides, hiding them underneath her other wings. The size difference is not very noticeable despite the lower pair being slightly smaller. A look at her is almost not enough to determine the pattern across her scales, which consists of a black so dark it’s void of any color, making her scale pattern blend into each other seamlessly. On her underbelly, her scales look like large plates of armor, but throughout the rest of her, her scales are smaller sizes. They have no sheen to them, making her hard to see in the dark, as no light reflects off of them, often just absorbing the light into her sides, Nuria is deadly at night, with her size one might question that, but this dragon is light on her feet and black as the night, giving her the element of surprise. Her scales are rounded on the ends and lock into a weaving pattern to form her exterior shield.

She is not entirely colored black, but her underside is rather, a wine-red color. It colors the soft scales of her belly and up through her neck to the base of her head. The undersides of her claws are colored a much darker red, closer to black, but nonetheless red. Her claws themselves are four-pronged and sharp, each equipped with a sharp white claw. She has four powerful legs, the insides of them again colored a wine red but the outer side is completely black. Going into her tail, a similar coloring pattern is seen, with the underside dark red and the top being black. From the base of her neck to the tip of her tail there are spikes of various sizes going down her back, colored black enough to blend in with her scales, if you're standing in the right position you won’t be able to even see them, as they will blend seamlessly into her back. These spikes are slightly larger in the middle of her back, and sort of taper out into smaller ones at the end of her tail and the base of her head, giving it the look of a sort of fin, but of course, made out of spikes.

Nuria’s head is long and slender, an almost delicate thing. Her mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth, smaller ones in the back moving to much larger ones in the front, when her mouth is closed a few larger ones can be seen hanging outside of her mouth. She has multiple rows of teeth, losing one simply does not matter as there are so many more, and it can easily be regrown. Now under her jaw is a soft spot with smaller scales colored red, that connect to the same red of her underbelly. The rest of her head is black, save for her eyes and a spot underneath them. As a Seer dragon, Nuria is losing her sight, as this process occurs the blood vessels rupture in her eyes, causing them to turn red until she cannot see, meaning the world will continue to be tinged red as her loss of sight progresses. When she was born her eyes were initially a pretty brown, flecked with amber, but as this process has occurred her Iris has shifted to a red hue, its edges completely tinged with a blood-red color that is slowly working its way to cover her pupil. Meaning in the next three years her eyes will continue to progress this way, until she cannot see, then she will have completely red eyes. No pretty shades of brown, just solid red encasing her eye. It’s pretty near to this now, but she can still see things up close as well as blurred shapes in the distance, Bright lights also affect her as well, as she becomes more sensitive to living in a dark world, bright lights startle her. She also has a red marking to match the color of her eyes right beneath her orbs. It’s a red line of sorts, almost giving it the loop of eyeliner, it’s a short little “swoop” marking directly beneath her water line, pointing towards her tail. This is under both eyes.

Besides her distracting bright red eyes, contrasting her darker scales, you are drawn into the arrangement of horns upon her head. She has a sort of crown that they create, with the sheer multitude of them being great. Large and distracting she has a line of small ones jutting out to look more like nubs along the sides of her face, and moving up her head she has a large pair of curled horns, similar to that of a ram on either side of her head, Nuria had another set, a pair of horns much straighter and large jutting straight back on her head. In addition to this, she has a few smaller ones filling in the gaps, creating a crown-like assortment.

A look in her direction brings you to her blood-red eyes, but also to the other markings beneath them. Nuria has a large gash right beneath her right eye, which she earned from a battle some years ago which nearly took the sight from her. This would have been unfortunate considering she would still have to lose it a few years later. Luckily it’s just healed into a scar but still is a visible horizontal mark under her eye. In addition to this, she has a large claw mark, gouging four deep lines into her left hind quarters from a previous battle. Her scales were able to heal around it, but the faint lines are still visible. Nuria has various other small scars that pepper her through the years and from her adventures with Xev. This dragon also has a particular scent, being near her smells something like strong pine or evergreen, as she tends to prefer to spend her time in forests, also inheriting the scent of them from her extensive time there. She has a crisp scent to her, always fresh and like the outdoors. Her gait is something smooth, a steady pace fast enough to keep up and please the fast walkers, but slow enough to allow those slow walkers to keep up. While she prefers to spend more time in the sky, this does not disable her walking abilities.

Personality:

Rider: Open

Abilities:

The Sight - Strength, visions of the future, Weakness, going blind: Seer dragons have the ability to have visions, and visions of the future more specifically. They can look into the future and see exactly what is to happen and when. Of course, the future is a tricky thing, predicting moves in battle is one thing, but predicting the future outcome of that battle is another. The more complicated the future and the more it is affected by a larger number of decisions, the more likely it is to change and make the vision faulty. For example, she could see that if one person takes a specific path(the good path) over another, they could meet a positive outcome, though if something else causes them to take the other path(the bad path) that vision is no longer true. She can't predict random forces that might interrupt the process of her prediction, so some can be wrong. The older a dragon gets the easier visions come. However, dragons of this species often begin to go blind as these visions increase and become more intense, in mid-adulthood, they go fully blind. Once this occurs visions happen more fluidly and so frequently it's as if they can still see, because they can use it to determine their surroundings. It becomes less draining because they won't have as much sensory information interfering with it. This also allows their other senses to become heightened, so adjusting to the lack of sight does become easier. Currently, Nuria is nearly blind, though she can still see your rough outline and some bright colors, she will have to use her vision ability to actually see her rider's face when it comes to bonding.

Flying - Double wings: Having a second set of wings increases her flying capabilities, making her an insanely strong flyer. This also increases her flying speed and maneuverability, allowing for a quick and efficient escape if need be.

Manipulation: A very draining process if used excessively, it can lead to death if over-used. The dragon must have recovery time, during which they are vulnerable after use. In short, the dragon can harness control of another's mind for a short period of time, basically possessing them to do their wishes, whether it's a simple task such as turning around or something more dangerous like a human wielding a sword. The larger the creature they use it on, the more draining, humans are the easiest to manipulate due to their size and fragility. If overused she losses all of her senses until this "cool down" period is over.

Glimpse: It allows Nuria to “see” where things are. If she knows the person or thing she is looking for and the general region where it is, she can locate it using the glimpse. The glimpse gives her a visual portal into the desired object's location. Experiencing it blocks out her other senses to focus on mentally reaching out to find the object or person, and allows Nuria to receive a "still-life photo" of the area the object is in within her mind, allowing her to find lost items or locate missing people. As long as she has a 3-mile radius of where the object should be, she can find it. As her powers continue developing and as she grows, this can increase further. The power really starts to rapidly develop around the age of 500. Using this power is a mentally draining task, and if used extensively, it can temporarily eliminate her senses until she can recover. The only way she could communicate at this point would be through her telepathic bond.

Fire Breath: As simple as it sounds, however, it is not the strongest of all the dragons due to it not being her primary power. It is quite weak, but still impressive to humans.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

-She has longevity and superb healing like all dragons, and is resistant to some human magic, her abilities of speed and strength are also enhanced.

-Double wings, allowing her to become a way stronger fighter

-Agility, and speed. Two of her greatest assets.

-Blindness, Nuria is almost completely blind, though this has heightened her other senses.

-All dragons are weakened and drained by Iron, she cannot fly with injured wings, and she has soft belly scales leaving her underside more vulnerable

-Heat weakens Seer dragons just as it would water dragons, so if not properly hydrated this dragon will go into a state of shock or become really weakened.

-Overuse of particular abilities leads to death or loss of her senses for a period of time

-Bright lights, they stun her as she is not used to such a sight. Going blind has taken its toll and has begun to manipulate her remaining vision.

-Working in a group, she is a more individualized dragon and likes having control of her surroundings. Not holding a position of power she would feel helpless and unsure how to work with a team if she had to.

Likes:

-Night flying, peaceful and serene

-Cool-weather, she can stay better hydrated and therefore keep up her strength

-Time alone, unless it’s with Xev

-Time in forests, offering a place of solitude and not in the open, which is more prone to attacks

-Shiny trinkets, though she would never admit to it

-Mutual respect between her and her rider

Dislikes:

-Being interrupted

-Stubborn people who don’t know when to quit, especially if they’re wrong. As well as people who intentionally cause chaos.

-Bright or flashing lights. Her eyes are sensitive to it.

-Eels, with a passion, never try to give her one

-Hot, humid weather. It contributes to the weakening of her abilities

-Most humans. She is fine with the rider of her choice, and with riders who have a strong bond with their own dragon, but she just barely tolerates everything else.

Appearance:

When you look at this young man, you first notice his boyish face. The soft roundness of it, not to mention the full cheekbones with his rounded and soft cheeks. One's that easily grow rosy at the slightest flirt towards him - or, from embarrassment or anger ; the cheeks seeming to puff up when he's angry. Now he has a rather small button nose ; with a slightly wider nose bridge - one that scrunches up in when disgusted with someone or something, and that wrinkles up confusion, almost like a rabbit - it's quite adorable to see, and he gets teased about it quite often. His lips are full and plump ; almost in a permanent pout, they look rather kissable and one would have to be a fool to not have at least wondered what a kiss from his lips are like. His lips are two-toned ; with the top lip being a rich brown color with a slightly whitish-tan outline and the bottom lip having a slightly lighter brown tone - yet, it being a pinkish-red hue in the middle. He is also known to chew his lips as a nervous gesture or chew the inside of his cheeks ; you'll find he has rather good liking teeth - possibly a slight overbite but overall they're healthy. Everything about his face just screams soft and delicate, not to mention he has such smooth skin with hardly any acne or blemishes. Of course when eating too much sugar or sweets, it gives him cursed acne. Other than that his skin for the most part is unblemished. You can also see an assortment of beauty marks lining his face and other parts of his body ; he has a small collection of beauty marks under his right eye - their being three in a little almost star shape, and then he has two semetrical ones on his cheeks and one in the left corner of his lips. Not to mention, if you were to remove his shirt, one would see a collection around his neck and chest area, and ones along his arms and back, and his thighs and others in rather intimate places.

This male is of rather average height, or may be considered short in the eyes of others - standing in at 171cm or 5'7 in height. Though he may be vertically challenged in some instances, this doesn't mean he doesn't carry himself with confidence and grace when the time comes for it. This height also gives him an advantage when it comes to his mobility, being able to do a wide variety of aerobatic stunts - from flipping, tumble rolls, aerial cartwheels, handstands, handsprings, to being graceful in air doing aerial silks. And because of him usually weighing in around 120-128 pounds, he's very lightweight and has a lot of agility due to training and practice in it. This lightweight and rather lithe build makes him a rather swift and speedy opponent, as opposed to someone using brute strength. His build, can be described as rather androgynous with a mainly rectangular chest and a lean and toned figure. His shoulders are slightly more narrowed, which gives his collarbone a bit more chance to shine. While he may be male he has slighty wider hips, and a bit of a dipped hips, not to mention the rather noticeable, yet - at the same time subtle curve along his hips. He has what could be described as a spoon/mango curve type body, with his waist being well defined and then having rather thick thighs, both naturally and from being active in bodily training.

His eyebrows are on the medium-slim side, overshadowing emerald-sea green eyes. His nose is strong, with a slight bump from where he'd broken it in his youth, only a small marking as his father had helped him set it mostly right. His lips are a slightly darker shade of brown than his skin tone, and are plump on his face. Kaia's hair is brown, a little longer than jaw-length, and is thick and curly, framing his face and, in some cases, portraying his wilder side.

Kaia stands at approximately 6ft, leaving him a bit above the average male height, but not so much that he noticably stands out from a crowd. The man is well-built, not stocky or with the frame of the bodybuilder, but built up muscle over a lifetime of swimming, running, fishing, and hunting. His frame is lined with sinewy muscle, but it isn't bulging too far out of his skin. More like practical muscle than show-off muscle.

Kaia is a kind man, up to a point. He likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, prefers to see the good in people before he sees the bad, but you can only push so far before he sees the core of your intentions. He's kind, but not an idiot, he won't let himself be pushed around or his kindness used against him by someone. He's generous until he either has nothing left to give, or until he knows the person is just taking advantage of him.

The man is determined, sometimes even stubborn about some things. Protecting those he loves, he's stubborn and loyal to a fault. He'd throw himself in the line of fire if it meant protecting someone he loved. His heart is large and mighty, and it makes him love fiercly, cherishing the person, anything they make, anything they give, everything they are. He may be kind, but he's protective, and it, more often than not, overrides any compassion he would normally feel. He's not overly confrontational, but Kaia has never been scared to stand up to people, no matter how gentle he normally is. Everyone has the potential to lose their shit and "go wild", Kaia is no different.

Kaia thinks of himself as somewhat spiritual. He was raised by the sea, swimming before he could form long sentences, able to move beneath the waves as easily as he does on land. The sea, being submerged by water, it's like his second home, the pressure on his chest an unfortunate reminder that he doesn't quite belong there as much as he would like to. He likes to think the coral remembers him, that the fish see him and smile to themselves, that the waves brush their soothing fingers through his hair with affection.

Breath | Having spent much of his life in the water, Kaia has learned how to hold his breath for extended periods of time.

Veetabhi Dwivedi | Close Friend
Veeta is someone that Kaia's known since she joined the academy a few years after him. He'd helped guide her through some of the harder parts, had patched her up when things went wrong, had helped her with homework. Kaia sees her as an extremely close friend of his, and has remained that way over the years. Veeta relied on Kaia, and he grew to rely on her. He was overjoyed when she was able to be a mentor in his squad, almost as happy as he had been when he found out he'd be a squad leader. He has a high amount of respect for Veeta, and has assured her time and time again that he won't let the squad insult her or disrespect her based on age.

The mans eyes are an emerald-sea green color, standing out against his darker skin and brown braided hair, which has beads and ringlets of metal weaved and braided into them, meaning they clink and clack at times with his movements. He has two piercings in his left eyebrow, a nose piercing, and a gold necklace that was a gift from his mother.

Out of him and his brother, Sedna had always been described as the wilder one, the one with the bigger mouth, the one who "stuck it to the man", so to speak. He'd always been the first to stand up and call someone out if he believed they needed to be, the first to get in someone's face, the first to tell someone to shove it, especially where it concerns his friends and family. He's always prepared to get on his feet and fight for them, and for what he believes in.

Sedna holds most things in suspicion. If it's too good to be true, normally, he's pretty convinced it is. He's cautious, cautious of many situations, cautious of many people. He sees the bad before he sees the good, more often than not. Not quite a pessimist, but on the darker side of realist. He knows everyone has a dark side, knows everyone has bad qualities, he just pays more attention to them.

When his mind is set on something, the man holds a kind of silent stubbornness. He'll be absolutely determined to complete his goal, even if it's just by himself and completely silent.

Hunting | Sedna is an avid hunter, and good at it, more on land than in the water. He was never quite at home in it as his brother was.

Confrontation | His confrontational side has gotten him into more than his fair share of fights. Some understandable, others just escalation of a relatively minor issue.

Kenji Bozzeli | Old Friend
Kenji is someone Sedna can say he's known for quite a while. They knew each other as children and were good friends in their early teens, when Kenji lived near the ocean. Unfortunately, when they were about 14 or so, Kenji moved further inland, and they'd lost contact. Sedna had always managed to get Kenji up to some mischief with him, and they spent days "camping" (whenever Sedna would decide he didn't want to go home for a few days), and Sedna found his humorous, spontaneous, impulsive side with Kenji. He's definitely changed over the years since he last saw Kenji, but he might revert somewhat back to how he was when he meets his old friend again.
