I'Ishrym E'Ageacia Ryu del Aatelinen Etsiä (Finnish: Noble Hunters)
Nekoda

Name: Nekoda as above
Gender: male, looking
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium 8's / 45' l / 40' ws
Colors: cheetah angelic, bright yellow-gold with black spots and stripes (not quite king cheetah) on body, limbs and tail; upper feather wings are snowy dazzling white, with black spots on backs but wingsail underneath feathers is pure white; second wingsails also white, with yellow-gold arm/fingers; tall white crest with red, gold, yellow gems on head, white horns with ivy bling; dorsal fluff from neck to tail end in pale cream to snowy white, also behind legs/arms; tail spade white with green, cyan, indigo, violet, and red gems; bling on forepaws, neck band, and holly wreath around neck in silver, green, and red; aura in glimmering rainbow
Breed: mutt with fedra, whorling, wyld, dracanian, danachian, lantessama seasonal draca, elementals
Features: as shown, multiwinged due to whorling and probably danachian influences
Powers: Winged Flight, Wingless Flight, he just does sometimes hover in mid-air without needing to flap or anything, but can definitely get moving very quickly when he does flap
Teleportation, nexus, local, and temporal (holiday centric), can home in on basically any other Sanger-type around, and go to them where and when they're needed
Verbal Speech, Telepathy*, can't see this guy not having telepathy really with all that in his lineage. Doesn't speak much, and keeps to himself for the most part, but has a smooth, low purr and tends to chirp a bit too
Dream Control, able to insert himself into a dream being had by anyone within about 2 miles, which is why he likes to remain a bit apart from big locations or towns because wow they sure do dream out there
Chameleon, not so much his own appearance but the aura around him shifts to distract or change the underlying colors, so to someone he might look brown and red, another just all white and shiny, that kind of thing. He can focus on this and create the illusion of not even being there, by virtue of appearing like the ground or sky, but this is tiring
Alter Physical Structure (self) - Ice, he can change himself into ice, though why this would be needed in a place with nothing but ice and snow...
Control Air, this allows him to fly without flapping, move extra fast, and also become entirely silent. He can boost his voice, nullify sounds, as well as create wind currents and change air pressure, the more effect the closer it must be, but at minimum he can cause a gale-strength wind at around 250 meters in a sphere, or a short-lived and close by thunderclap of pressure that might flatten half a building with its potency
Parentage: Ishrym + Ageacia
Other Info: hasn't had much going on until now... found an old stray, is that an Engel?

holiday Valley of the Sky J'haya Houten Vid'amalom Houten this can't be the only one out there

He knew that he was from the same group as more than half a dozen others, but he swept away like a flurry of snowflakes on the breeze. Just like that, whoosh. Well he was fast, after all, and he knew just the place where he wanted to reside. That place happened to be the stomping ground (literally) of several other wintery dragon types, stuck on a weird flat plain surrounded by gentle mountains and hills.

At one point, a dinosaur-like creature, huge with wings that were improbably strong, landed nearby, and sniffed him out. Nekoda stood his ground, and the massive red colored rex-dragon wandered away into the hills. How something that big, and that brightly colored could survive out here in the middle of a snow-packed bowl, no one knew.

Well it was kind of obvious, by the time Nekoda got hungry: there wasn't food here, only shelter. So, he sped off again, slipping away to a parallel world where there was food on the hoof running around. It might be worth his while to bring back a few more, maybe breed them, but that would make him fat and lazy, and there was nothing good about a fat lazy cheetah-looking dragon, eh?

And for one who had such a speedy reputation, Nekoda spent a lot of time actually just floating in the air, looking around. He caused the air beneath his wings to circulate, keeping him up with minimal physical effort. He could probably do this for days. But if something caught his eye, he would immediately change that into forward motion and do nothing but run for another few hours.

There was a little sparkling dream-essence that seemed to dare him to fly around the entrance to the large cavern nearby. Nekoda knew there were humans and other dragons there, but he preferred to be outside. There, at least, he could get a good run on and race with the wind.

***

It was some time after his arrival that he noticed the presence of the jingling ones, a pair of apparently related males who took only moments of rest here. The one, Nekoda had seen glimpses of before, but the other had not come here often. Nekoda didn't bother them, nor try and interrupt them - they moved even faster than he did! It would take a ton too much effort to catch up with that pair.

But what did intrigue him was that ... later on... there was another. Very female. Clearly related to the pair, what - did they breed that fast? Apparently they did, and used this location to send out their children. That was intriguing. He would have to see what this was all about, if they stayed long enough.

*** 2025 ***

Nekoda would want to keep his eye on this beautiful flurry of snow and blood. She(??)'d been around for quite some time, always seen in the corner of his eye but never quite in focus. Fast, like a blizzard wind, but silent and sparkling like a snowflake drifting down.

Nekoda wasn't typically poetic. But for some reason the sight of this beautiful drifting, fluttering dragon brought a lump to his long throat. Not that he would 'keep her to himself' if they did pair up or even if they sat down by the hot springs for a lazy philosophy discussion.

Eventually this dragon would settle like a perfect snowflake on an outcropping above that hot spring, and just stared at him from it. Not in anger, and slowly their ears crept up as if to question 'why aren't you here?'

So the cheetah-colored dragon appeared in a silent whoosh on winds he'd created with his magic. He noticed nary a feather or strand out of place on this other white dragon.

She introduced herself with a chiming, ringing laugh, though it was hard to tell by her expression whether it was a mocking laugh or delighted. She seemed to tell Nekoda: I have never sat in one place this long. My name is ... Lux Sangre.

Eventually they got to know one another. She loved to relate the stories of what she'd seen in the most distant pockets of reality, and he enjoyed putting some of those stories into perspective - with his ability to sense and control dreams, he knew the importance of stories, after all. They would commit a few of those to permanent record, but Lux warned him: nothing is actually permanent.

And he reminded her: to those who dream, memories are long indeed.

Lux Name: Lux Sangre (blood light)
Gender: Presents Female, though possibly able to both sire or bear depending on her desires
Size/Shoulder/Length: long noodle 9' s / 48' l / 22', 20', down on the line to around a 6' wing span on all those added bonus wings
Colors: body white, snowy with sparkles on wings; wingtips brilliant red; mane, dorsal, and tail floof creamy off white; eyes red
Breed: seraph noodle? No one knows, there aren't many left out there and she is unrelated and not even sure what the others can do or are named?
Features: body markedly long and narrow, flexible; four legs with three large clawed toes, thumbs on fore, and small paired feathery wings on ankles; shoulders have two (larger) pairs of feathered wings, and mid-tail has four more smaller right in a row; head is long and narrow with large external pointed ears; dorsal mane from forehead to tail tip ending in large elegant ploof; tail is at least as long as body from nose to rump
Powers: Wingless and Winged Flight; if Lux has ever actually 'flapped to fly' no one's ever seen it, but those wings are actually strong and can deliver a good hard snap when needed; otherwise she just kinda floofs around like a ribbon on the wind, following her nose wherever it leads regardless of the winds, weather, visibility, or gravity. It doesn't matter. She ignores any and all intrusions to her getting from place to place
Teleportation, Nexus and Temporal travel, maybe she's been all around. She certainly seems to know the Protectorate and its varied locales? She's all but the vision of a vengeant seraphim in some 'corner of the eye' visions, but no one in any of those many versions of Earth or anywhere else have ever actually looked at her because she vanishes the moment she's observed, to another locale, however distant. She can do this consciously, unconsciously, subconsciously, whatever, but she doesn't take direction from anyone else to go a place. She's already been there, she knows how to get to it...*Also note, that she is light, and her temporal teleportation allows her to move both at the speed of or far in excess of that light, be in two places at once even if slightly out of phase, or bounce from one reflective surface to another in what appears to be an instant. Her mass does not make any difference when she wants to be in motion, though she doesn't tend to go through things or beings, as that might be 'weird'
Communication, though silent for the most part, Lux can speak in an angelic, chiming voice almost made out of musical pieces of ice or frozen metal. Whether what comes from her mouth and throat is 'speech' is irrelevant, if she wants to get her point across you will understand her no matter what you normally speak or even if you can hear at all. She Knows Your Real Name, by the way. If you're on the run or have a title that gets in the way, she'll still clearly address you by your proper name. Not a 'dead name', no - the one that is yours. This can be very unnerving
Light Control, she doesn't need light to see, she senses the light regardless even if there isn't much she'll make her own and see what happens. In a black hole, she would be the last visible light*. Technically speaking, Lux seems... much more like she's one of Keenan's people, the Convocation, than anything else. It is entirely possible that she is, since she 'got a form like this' by taking snips and snaps of people's imaginations?
Matter Doesn't Matter, Mass and energy are the same thing if you speed it up enough, right? Given enough physical mass, of any sort of element, Lux is able to transform it into something else, including light or energy to consume or display, and can do this in reverse as well, which definitely lends credence to the whole 'Convocation' thing
Parentage: none, progenitor
Origin: Valley of the Sky Giveaway 2006 never posted whoops Art By: Unyko
Other Info: Yes, this dragon has been around that long and never once showed up on anyone's radar... until now
