[b]Name:[/b] Thelonious Kastrati

[b]Alias:[/b] Ashen Drake

[b]Nicknames:[/b] Thelony

[b]Age:[/b] 17

[b]Gender:[/b] A boi

[b]Personality:[/b] Thelonious is somewhat awkward, with a pretty quiet disposition and a few words. He is noted to be highly enamored by ‘cute, fluffy animals’, and possesses a keen sense of intuition of trustworthiness. Thelonious is pretty protective of those folks he happens to like, though those that he had a bad experience of could expect to be suddenly abandoned in the middle of a fight. 

Aside from that, Thelonious is incredibly petty. Ruin his day, or his property? He’ll do the same, but he’ll try to make it a bit worse for whoever pissed on his parade. He is pretty much the embodiment of karma in this regard; actions will come back around, so better be nice to the guy, or else you’ll find yourself randomly inconvenienced by small, but infuriating things. Rule of thumb with Thelonious, then, is that he always returns to sender.

He is 5’3” in height. His pupils are green in color, while his clothing choices usually gravitate around cloaks and other comfortable, flowing garments. Apparently, he sees it as ‘liberating’.

As the Ashen Drake, he becomes around 10 feet in length from nose to tail.

[b]Biography:[/b] Thelonious wasn’t from Redline originally. Nor was he originally a citizen of the United States, either. His earliest memories, at least as far as he is willing to admit, traces back to their apartment in the city of Pristina, Kosovo. He was not born as ‘Thelonious’ either, but this detail is no longer within his memories. He only knows himself as his current, modern name; a suspicious detail that could be chalked up to a deliberate memory alteration at an early age. It would seem that his father, who shall be discussed later on, had quite a hand in these missing segments of Thelon’s memories.

Either way, Thelonious doesn’t remember all too much of his home country, as his family left it when he was five years old due to the highly volatile situation that it was in. They first arrived in New York City, and then moved up further north into Maine, where they finally settled down, somewhat. There, they all changed their first names, though they kept the surname that they had back in Kosovo. Now, though, they faced a whole new world.

Thelonious, as he was called since then, had quite a few difficulties with the English language, and was as such bullied for it in school, though that was simply the first reason. Other causes arose, namely because of his lack of aptitude for sports, and other generic reasons.

During that time, however, he was a passive one, and simply took it without telling anyone else, as he knew he couldn't fight back against the likes of them. Not like this. He would just get beaten even more. At the very least, his one and only friend shared in that misery, so Thelonious wasn’t alone in all that. Even so, he secretly harbored plans of bitter revenge. He had coincidentally watched ‘Carrie’, and wondered if that could be done in real life. Parahumans were a thing, after all. He heard that the valedictorian of the high school he was now going to was one of those so-called Thinkers. Maybe he too was a Parahuman that just needed… what was it, a Trigger Event?

Ridiculous, Thelonious thought at first. He had been consistently bullied and mistreated through elementary and high school, why hadn’t he been triggered? 

Truth be told, however, he just needed another push. That group of bullies, who had shoved him into the locker the other day, had a chance meeting with him at a random moment of the day, a random walk. There, they did other indescribable things… but that was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and brought out the beast within.

During all this time, a voice had been gnawing into the back of his mind. A dark side, one that wanted to take out all that rage and frustration towards those that caused it. And so it was unleashed.

Details after that are scant, but apparently, several high schoolers were very nearly devoured by a parahuman in the form of a dragon, its rage stayed in time by a silent conscience. It flew away to skulk in the forest, but the person that had been its source was identified by the PRT, and his parents were contacted by that same organization, as an investigation of those events found out what had happened in the background. As for the former bullies, their minds were later found to be hollowed out, turned into blank slates. Who did that is still a mystery to this day, though PRT thinks it is Thelonious’ dad, a powerful but otherwise passive telepath that lives a normal life.

Thelonious, meanwhile, was sent to the Wards Program. If he is to be a functioning member of society, he has to go through all this. Well, anything’s better than what he had now.

[b]Powers:[/b]

[i][u]Draconic Transformation (Breaker/Changer 6; ):[/u][/i] He is able to transform into a draconic creature at will, somewhat reminiscent of those from European myth. Theoretically, he may assume any animalistic form he wishes, but this appearance has been the norm for so long that it may as well be the only one, since it has been deeply imprinted into his mind. The resultant form measures at around ten feet in length, with descriptions ranging from it having gray scales, stark white eyes, and long fangs, to reddish scales and amber eyes. It seems that the exterior appearance often varies, though the general shape remains consistent. In this state, the rest of his abilities become available. The Ashen Drake, as it is called, is able to swallow someone whole; this simply holds them inside for vomiting later on, as the creature does not possess a digestive tract, rather having a single cavity for storage. It also possesses razor sharp claws and teeth, and its scales are highly resistant to small arms fire. However, hitting the same spot repeatedly is sure to penetrate and cause damage.

He is able to exit this form whenever he wishes as long as anything still remaining within the form’s stomach is expelled, and he retains all clothing and items that he had beforehand.

[u][i]Flight (Mover 5):[/i][/u] Upon transformation, Thelonious is able to take flight with the flight speed of a helicopter. 
 
[i][u]Pyroclastics (Blaster/Shaker 6):[/u][/i] Upon assuming a different form, Thelonious is able to turn nearby rock within 5 feet into molten lava. He is able to telekinetically manipulate lava, and he can also devour it in order to spit it out later on, with a range of 20 feet. 

A side-effect of this ability is that he is immune to damage from fire and heat, whether or not transformed.

[b]Skills:[/b] When he was still unpowered, Thelonious was noted to be a great painter.
[b]Other:[/b] no girlfriend since birth.
