Artificer

Clink clink clack. Artificer is a scientist by nature, tinkerer by heart. She's always examining life and figuring how to puzzle mysteries into wholes.

Artificer grown up


Arti landed nearly full force on the cliff edge, flapping her wings erratically to keep her balance.
When the landing was finally merited a success she turned her attention to her flight mates, a half sheepish grin on her face. "What's up guys?"

Her goggles were shoved up on her forehead, she never bothered to actually use them during flight. They're not for flying anyway, she'd snort. And also I never remember, she'd add silently to herself.
She lit up her fire embers to illuminate the way, a proud invention if she did say herself. After all the haphazard explosions she decided she'd use it to her advantage and turned the resulting flames into tame little embers that followed her when summoned to do so.
They made her painted gold runes glint. Added protection against whatever experiment went awry.
What with the fire and the intricate gold reflecting that fire, and her species's natural fierce look, she often came across as intimidating at first glance. She snuggled against her piles of soft scarves wrapped around her neck. Oh, and the deathly explosions and acrid smoke burning dragon's nostrils that sounded off into deep mysterious recesses of the caves. That was probably a put off too.
But she was friendly. She mostly kept to herself because of her work, but made sure to have time for friends too.

Her den and flightmates were of all different species, she'd left her Nocturne flight long ago to find people who could understand her a little better.

She walked brightly into the cave, craning her neck to greet a den mate with a soft nose boop.
