Monster Roleplay [b]Name:[/b] Alexi Kuroshin [b]Race:[/b] Dragon [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://safebooru.org//images/1298/4c421bd48ce89c4ee2c044ffde1a31f22ff0ab81.jpg?1351174[/img] [b]Age:[/b] 376 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Bio:[/b] A member of a powerful black dragon clan, with some roots to ancient Chinese legend, Alexi was raised in a proud household. In the past there have been other Phasing events that her household has been a part of, even at times making pacts with humans so while she had been flung unexpected into the human world there was precedence from before her time about what to do, though the world was a much different place than when her ancestors had visited it. Once The Phasing started in full swing Alexi had been traveling around in the realm of dragons to visit some cousins of hers when a portal ripped her from the dragon realm straight into the human world. Of course she was in her natural form at the time, a black and red Chinese dragon which caused quite a bit of chaos despite the fact there already was so much going on. She was promptly attacked by both humans and other beings out of fear and so first impressions of the human world were not very high. Still with a little roasting and a transformation into a much more human form, and agreement was quickly reached between her and the humans. After helping them take out some of the worst threats she found herself trapped in the human world with nowhere to go. Having no wish to harm the human population, partly due to some ancestral pacts, she was happy to take up lodging with a kind police officer and learned much about the world and humans during her stay; however as a proud member of a dragon brood she felt horrible that there was little she could do to help as the man refused to let her help in his work and therefore was grateful when the call to go to the Pandora Complex reached her. Finally she would be able to ‘pay her rent’ so to speak. [b]Skills/Powers:[/b] [i]Human Transformation:[/i] After appearing in the human world she realized why some legends had her ancestors, in one case her grandfather, take on human form. The realm of dragons is a very different dimension; full of mana that dragon’s naturally filter into their bodies, enabling many of their more impressive feats. Taking on a human form helps a dragon conserve their mana reserves and makes mana usage more efficient, which is essential in a dimension like the human world where mana is in short supply. In this form Alexi can actually gain excess mana. [i]Dragon Flight:[/i] As a Chinese dragon, Alexi does not use wings but instead rides the currents of mana. In a sense she just floats through the air and can do it outside of her dragon form but not at any great speed, still it can come in useful. [i]Dragon Strength:[/i] Being a dragon, even in human form she is still quite powerful and agile, though more of her agility is seen while as a human. While her strength is vastly reduced she can still overpower most extraordinary species, at least the ones that are not naturally gifted with great strength. [i]Dragon Fang:[/i] The power of her talons and fangs are compacted into a sharp blade, a Chinese [URL=http://media.photobucket.com/user/1SAZ/media/Jian.jpg.html]Jian[/url] and is technically a part of her body. Its sharpness seems unreal as it can slice through solid steel and has the ability of creating a ‘wind slice’ to target far away enemies, though its effective range is only about 100 feet, after that becoming something akin to being hit by a full blast blow dryer. In dragon form the blade naturally fuses back into her body as it is not longer needed. [i]Dragon’s Breath:[/i] Useable in both forms, naturally it is a lot weaker in her new default state. For one thing she is unable to sustain her fiery breath for very long because of her much diminished lung capacity, also because of diminished temperature anything that is flame resistant can pretty much stop the flames in their tracks. [i]Dragon Form:[/i] A dragon naturally uses mana, being adapted to their own dimension, and so Alexi has found that she is unable to maintain this form for more than 5 minutes at a time, at which point she has to revert and wait for her mana reserves to charge. [b]Other Things of Interest:[/b] - Alexi has been rather bad with technology since she arrived. It’s not that she doesn’t like technology it just doesn’t want to cooperate with her. Alexi considers electricity kind of like a magic source for humans, considering how it operates such large and complex machines. - Alexi is also somewhat interested in human culture and therefore is usually up for trying some new fashion or human activity, though usually she will dress in a traditional kimono.
