___________________________________________________________ Endless Warlock, Sculptor -Invisible to the Watcher-

---

Endless comes from a wide-reaching bloodline of dragons who are, very slightly, off. This has granted them certain abilities - in her case, any sculpture that she forms in the semblance of a dragons can, with the application of her blood, be granted animacy. Possibly sentience. She's working on that part. It's a bit of a glitch in the natural order of things, but that's not a problem. Her status is technically that of a warlock, in the sense of power gained through pactmaking, though her pact was made with a certain ancestor whose genetic memory lives rent-free in the back of her head, saying nothing and being painfully unhelpful. It does seem to ward other things off, though.

She joined the crew in search of someone to help her hone her skills, finding Mariana and her apprentice Kermadec. The latter in particular, Endless is quite taken with. He's sweet.                           ꙮ Fond of white noise, object permanence, black tea, sleeping with her eyes open Fatherline Green Frost Brave #2402 Motherline Naomi #25342 | Linesister to Marun Pental Fall, Corrupted  Is it that which is what was?  To 'why' do not reply 'because'.  Is it that which once had been?  Is there still what once was then?

Coatl: An unhealthy Coatl can be identified by fading plumage. Dull colors are regarded by other Coatl with sorrow and trepidation. Coatl who are naturally born grey or white are regarded as bad omens, and often exiled from nests to protect the rest of the clutch from catching illness or ill luck.

Coatl do not have a traditional ear structure, but are still able to discern and interpret vibrations in the air. Their hearing is not as keen as dragons with eardrums. Coatl are one of the few species to have a native tongue. They hum a series of different pitches at varying intervals to communicate. The result is far from lovely to other dragon species, as sour notes and incomprehensible melody grates on their senses. Coatl can speak and interpret traditional draconic with difficulty, but have no capacity to understand the monotone fae species.

Fae: When interacting with other breeds they frequently have difficulty understanding emotion, as the lack of an expressive crest cripples the Fae's ability to read the other dragon's intent. Equally, other species have difficulty reading the Fae; the tiny dragons maintain a monotone when speaking and do not exhibit common body language.

Guardians: When a Guardian dragon comes of age, it instinctively seeks out a charge to protect for the rest of its considerable life. Most Guardians do not know what its charge will be until they encounter it, and so it begins a journey. During this time it will wander tirelessly, seeking a worthy individual, object, or place to stand watch over. Once a Guardian discovers its charge, it begins its new life. It is then considered a true dragon by the rest of their species. A Guardian without a charge is considered only half a dragon. Guardian dragons see the failure to keep their chosen charge safe as a terrible blight to their honor, and most will pine away rather than live with the shame of their failure.

Imperials: Reserved with their words, these dragons are difficult to read with those who are not familiar with each individual. Though distant emotionally, Imperials throw themselves into their Flight's cherished professions with focus and devotion. Grudge against Pearlcatchers - Imperials believe their creator has replaced them, while Pearlcatchers are conscious of the fact that their patron did not create them with the grandeur of scale of their predecessors.

Mirror: Known for their savagery and their hunger. They are social predators that run in immense packs. The larger set of eyes allows them to see light, while the smaller forward-set pair allows them to track their prey by heat signature. Mirrors prefer to travel and hunt with their own kind, and do not mix well with other dragon species.

Nocturne: Nocturnes are a species that adapts and mimics dragons they are in close proximity with; a Nocturne who accompanies a guardian may adopt a temporary charge of their own, while a Nocturne pestered by a spiral may become energetic and easily distracted.

Obelisk: New to the world, Obelisks do not have an established culture to call their own. Many are drawn to assist their adoptive clanmates in whatever drives them, presenting themselves as the ever-enthusiastic, steadfast helper. They will throw themselves into construction, art, music, history, gardening, or warfare with equal zeal, seeking to learn their place in the world and help their allies accomplish their dreams. Obelisk dragons retain the ability to revert to their statue selves to conserve energy or observe their surroundings in perfect stillness.

Pearlcatcher: Pearlcatcher dragons are haughty, independent creatures who consider themselves apart from the rest of dragonkind. Pearlcatchers are known for their love of gossip, choice tidbits and secrets of other dragons a currency among them worth more than mere gold.

After hatching, a young dragon will immediately consume its eggshell before its wings have had the chance to finish drying. Several hours later, they will regurgitate a large, lustrous pearl. They grow and maintain their pearl by secreting a thick, black mucus that cures to a smooth, iridescent sheen. Each new layer added to their pearl is believed to be the essence of what they've recently experienced, a memory made tangible and added to the whole of who they are.

Pearlcatchers regard their pearls as the vessel for their essence, and the most vital, important piece of themselves. A dragon that has lost its pearl believes that it has lost its identity.

Ridgeback: Ridgeback society revolves around borrowing. While other dragons might call this stealing, Ridgebacks think borrowing is a normal and necessary facet of life.

Skydancer: Their ability to read energy and emotion makes them excellent at questioning feuding clan members and ferreting out the truth of a situation. This ability is not without its weaknesses; some dragons may have energy and emotions that are difficult to read. Unscrupulous individuals with something to hide and foreknowledge that a Skydancer will be questioning them may imbibe a concoction of herbs intended to alter their own energy and confound a Skydancer's senses.

Snapper: A Snapper does not sleep and rarely stops moving. Snappers are living encyclopedias. A dragon who is seeking difficult-to-obtain information will have the most luck unearthing it from a Snapper clan - provided they have the patience for it.

Spiral: Spiral dragons have difficulty focusing on one thing at a time, but are excellent at multi-tasking a myriad of simultaneous thoughts and activities that would disorient other dragon species. A Spiral without anything to keep it occupied is capable of literally tying itself into knots in agitation. Frequent naps between their bursts of enthusiasm are necessary. It is not uncommon for a Spiral dragon to rapidly speak and gesture nonstop for hours, then pass-out midsentence without warning.

Tundra: Tundras have difficulty remembering names, faces, and specific details about dragons that they have not seen in over a season. Despite this, their olfactory memory is excellent. "You smell like a friendship." is a common greeting between Tundra dragons who have not seen one another in years, the names and details of their association forgotten. When encountering a dragon who smells like friendship, Tundras typically attempt to become friends again. This "friend-again" may present an awkward situation for a dragon of a different species. The Tundra treats the relationship as if they were meeting for the first time, introducing themselves and asking questions that have likely been rehashed many times before.

Wildclaw: Dragons may challenge those who have offended them to a duel, no matter how small or fabricated the infraction. Truly a society of "might makes right", arguments that can't be won with logic may be won with tooth and claw. To decline a duel is to admit that one was in the wrong, for the truth of one's words is something worth fighting for.
