Dynamih

Dynamih is a scholar and an inventor. He spends most of his days hiding away in his lab, and anyone passing by would probably hear ominous explosions every few minutes. He likes to invent things, although hasn't ever created anything of note. Dynamih also owns a parda, named Ktisi.

Gold Steampunk Wings Apparel An impressively-constructed arrangement of gold leaves, pistons, and rotors. With a constant supply of steam, the flying potential of the wearer could be doubled. 1000

The steampunk wings are one of Dynamih's most recent creations. He created them for a rather odd purpose - so that if he fell asleep while flying, they would prevent him from falling and injuring himself. They would (for obvious reasons) be utterly useless to anybody else. Dynamih, however, finds them extremely helpful as he is almost constantly tired.

Dynamih often finds his lab full of dust and smoke. To protect his eyes, he always wears a pair of goggles while working. He's also working on finding a way to use them to magnify objects, so he doesn't have to take them off when he's using a microscope. They're also tinted gold to help protect his eyes from bright light when he's using fire.

Dustrunner's Arctic Goggles Apparel A pair of thick glass goggles. 1100

Ivory Aviator Scarf Apparel What differentiates this from a standard ivory scarf is a subtlety lost on most. 600

This scarf has a similar use to the goggles - so that Dynamih doesn't breathe in too much dust and smoke. When he's not using it to cover his face, he wears it loosely around his neck. In one corner, the scarf has the letters "Dynam" stitched in where he once tried embroidery, but quickly got bored and moved back to making things explode. He enjoys this much more.

Dynamih wears this bauble because he simply likes how it looks - all dragons strive to look their best, after all. He doesn't actually have any use for it at all. It's one of his oldest possessions, and was a gift from his mother and father. Dynamih's parents loved hoarding treasure, and they don't actually know where the tail bauble is originally from.

Brass Steampunk Tail Bauble Apparel A shiny brass bauble and lantern. This one affixes to the tail. It's quite banged up, and the glass is a bit chipped. 700

Gold Aviator Gloves Apparel A pair of durable leather gloves. 800

Dynamih's "work" means that he uses his paws a lot. To prevent himself from getting sore claws, he wears fingerless gloves while he works. Unfortunately, the gloves are much tighter than Dynamih originally thought. They're very difficult to take off, so he often just doesn't bother. As a result of being worn almost constantly, the gloves are faded and frayed.

Dynamih was raised in a family of hoarders, and he never really fit in. Although his parents, brothers and sisters just liked shiny things, he didn't see much point in collecting stuff others had created. Instead, he decided to became an inventor. He left his family (though still keeps in touch with them) and set up a lab amongst a group of other misfit dragons. Dynamih's mother and father are highly disappointed in his life choices.
They believe in power - in fact, Dynamih's name comes from the Greek word δύναμη, meaning power or strength. He's never really felt like this was a name that suited him.
Now, he mostly sees his parents and siblings during the annual Thundercrack Carnivale. They're on good terms, even though his mother wishes he'd come back and his father secretly prefers Dynamih's brothers and sisters.
The dragons he lives with are often recluses, but Dynamih doesn't mind. They always leave secrets as secrets, history as history. He prefers it this way.
Dynamih doesn't regret the life he's chosen - blowing stuff up has always been more appealing to him than hoarding. Well, who wouldn't? It's a far more interesting, exciting, and honestly dangerous thing to do, after all.

Ktisi is, like her owner, named after a Greek word. κτίση means "creation", a fitting name as Ktisi was partially created by Dynamih. Parda were highly prized by his family, because they're naturally strong and powerful. This parda, however, was attacked and almost killed by some other creature. Dynamih found her, and saved her life. Ktisi is, as a result, even stronger than a normal parda. She's also very loyal to Dynamih.

Onyx Minerals & Ores Onyx is a common material in centaur arrows and other weaponry. 45 Iron Nugget Minerals & Ores A chunk of unrefined iron. 40
