OtherBorn as the third son to a renowned noble house, Efraim spent his youth breaking every rule he could. Being the third in line as far as heirship went, with two younger siblings to occupy his parents and servants, he very much felt like the middle child; not paid much attention to, in the good or the bad. That was, until illness claimed both his elder brothers, and the burden of inheritance and politics was suddenly thrust upon his shoulders.
To his credit, he did very much
try to grow accustomed to his new role. He attended every briefing, every ball, and met every potential suitress his parents picked out for him. But though he could play the part of a proper noble well enough to fool most everyone, he never could get accustomed to the sheer weight of responsibility. It felt debilitating. And so, he devised a plan of escape. Efraim had once seen a dragon as a young boy, and been mesmerized by its beauty. His uncle was a famed rider, as well. As such, he argued that he would very much like to go and learn to be a rider himself - after all, that way he'd be better suited to protect his family, lands and kingdom. His parents agreed eventually, and Efraim travelled all the way to the Keep, while his younger brother was left to take care of political matters until his return.
And hopefully
thereafter, if Efraim had any say in the matter.
Efraim has some affinity for magic, though he's unaware of it himself - he would need some teaching to be able to realize it.
Incandescence
Class of DragonLight
Gender of DragonFemale
Strengths- Perhaps owing, in part, to her multiple sets of wings, Incandescence is incredibly nimble and capable of many aerial maneuvers others could only dream of. She can twist her body as if a snake, and her wings allow her to make sharp turns with little delay.
- Though her scales are naturally a light pinkish hue, she is able to reflect light off of them - thus being able to appear as a different colour, or even slightly alter her appearance to look bigger, smaller, or even a different type of dragon - though only momentarily.
- Like some other light dragons, she can also turn completely invisible.
- She can fire plasma blasts and white flames, and also radiate similar plasma energy from her whole body. This can be used to relay signals, light the way in poor visibility and also blind an opponent, thus making it even less likely to land a proper blow.
Weaknesses- Incandescence is a proud creature, fearing nothing and bowing to none. A dangerous flaw in the midst of combat, where teamwork and cunning are often necessary talents.
- In addition to the above, though Incandescence can talk telepathically with her rider as every other, for now, she has chosen not to.
- Due to her impressive evasive prowess, Incandescence is not used to taking hits. As such, her pain tolerance is quite low, and she's more likely to withdraw from battle after injuries that wouldn't necessarily bother some other dragons.
- When she isn't actively trying to hide herself with invisibility, Incandescence makes for a large, colourful target. A nimble one capable of dodging, yes, but there is always a danger of an attack she did not see coming.
- She has poor vision in darkness, and must keep radiating light or blasting out flames in rapid succession to light up her way if caught in poor lighting.
OtherIncandescence very much acts like a dragon version of a spoiled noble lady - pompous, prideful and expecting due respect when addressed. How and why she chose Efraim - or anyone at all - is anyone's guess.
