I think your lore for Tolpaki is very neat! He seems like a cool dragon and you've incorporated his disability very realistically I think c: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/42042078][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/420421/42042078_350.png[/img][/url] This is Mimir, he's blind, he chose to give up his eyes for knowledge of an impending apocalypse so he could save Sornieth. The gem on his forehead allows him to "see" in magical energies, where each elemental alignment will show up to him as a different fuzzy blob so that he can kind of make out what's around him. It means he can't really make out detailed shapes, colors, markings, etc, he doesn't have great depth perception, and it can be difficult when a lot of objects/dragons are in one place that all have the same elemental alignment since it can kind of blend together, but he is able to use his other senses to navigate decently well (and I'm thinking I'll probably give him a white cane too).

He has chronic pain because of it and will sometimes use mobility aids such as crutches on high pain days. It also means that he doesn't fly for very far/long because of the instability also affecting his shoulders and hips

[quote name="SylviaSnake" date="2025-04-28 07:23:55" ] Chlo and Gaelin's conversations sound hilarious to witness. Is Chlo cautious when messing around with unknown magic artifacts, or does she end up getting into a lot of magical accidents? [/quote] Chlo isn't cautious at all. XD To her, magical items are like neat glowsticks. She handles them with about as much care and pizzazz as a player character in a fantasy video game. However, she is also very lucky and hasn't encountered many problems as a result of it (which annoys Gaelin because it sort of undermines his arguments that these things are dangerous and should be approached with due caution.) [quote name="SylviaSnake" date="2025-04-28 07:23:55" ] Did Idjinni's magic dwarfism cause proportional problems like real life dwarfism usually does? If so how do the irregular proportions effect her movement? [/quote] I haven't researched it enough to know much about all the problems that come with dwarfism, but considering Idjinni's contraction of it came from being made into an adult by a chaos being, not liking that, requesting to be made into a child again, and it not quite working out, I'd say that they're different enough that you'd get an entirely different set of potential problems. As it stands right now, she just shrunk, but also has sort of squat proportions. ----- Next, I'll go ahead and introduce Marteine! He's a Banescale who hatched in the sea and was raised by Maren. As such, he learned to use his wings as fins, so when he finally came onto land, he couldn't fly. He also isn't very good at walking, so he kind of waddles like a duck. He's embarrassed about this and prefers remaining in the water. However, his family (the school of Maren who raised him) want what's best for him, and figure he needs to learn how to be a proper Banescale, since that's what he is biologically. They're worried that he won't be able to live a fully healthy life as a Maren, so they sort of forced him to leave by giving him a mission to go out onto land and learn about stuff, then bring back his report to the school. Since he's the only member of the school who can walk, no one else could take on the job.

He lost his wings and his freedom as a consequence of wandering where he shouldn't have been.

[quote name="SylviaSnake" date="2025-04-27 16:42:40" ] @modusiticate Does Stratum always keep up his defensive magic? What about in his sleep? Does he have a lot of control to make the magic stay for long periods or a large magic pool to draw from, or use items to tie the magic too? Saiph looks beautiful. Was she born mute due to her vocal cords not working right, or due to some sort of mental block making her unable to get sounds out properly? How does she communicate with other dragons, do they tend to have difficulty understanding her? I'll be sure to check out Goryo later but try to keep dragons two to a post max for future, can only respond to so many at a time. [/quote] Sorry about posting 3 dragons, I misread the post! My bad [emoji=aberration scared size=2] Stratum is fine while sleeping and moving normally, but he has to react fast if he trips or otherwise falls. He can't fly very fast without hurting his wings, either. While his armor is specially designed to be lighter weight than the other Hickory Rocks, he uses a subtle magic to make them even lighter. That way, his armor doesn't slow him down or hurt him. While fighting, he uses multiple layered spells to prevent even being touched. Teleportation, a projectile shield, and a small spherical blast that pushes enemies away are his main defenses. He has trained and meditated for many hours, honing his focus, leading to him becoming a master of magic channeling, rivaling the best Faes. In general, his strategy is to never leave an opening where the enemy can reach him. His biggest limit is his stamina, which is also magically reinforced, but he still struggles with a high heartrate and low lung capacity. Saiph is believed to have a mental block preventing her from speaking, as she does occasionally grunt when using all her strength. Though, it's unclear just what this mental block is. Part of the problem is that she hates being tested on. As for non-verbal communication, most dragons don't understand her at all. In fact, only the highest ranking Midnight Thorns can read her, and they have to give her commands to the others. They understand her through trial and error. She will sometimes use gestures like nodding or simple claw waves to show approval or disapproval. Those who spend a lot of time around her, such as her second-in-command [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90580241]Issho[/url], have figured out her methodologies well enough that all they need from her is a particular expression or body language to confirm what her commands are. Thankfully, the Midnight Thorns are the most individualized of the defense groups, and they typically don't require direct commands to operate, as long as they follow protocol. It should also be known that Saiph can write, though she uses very few words and is still hard to understand. That reminds me, I need to list the core rules of each defense group for clarity. Thank you for your feedback! [emoji=aberration love size=2][emoji=aberration star size=2]
