Paddy, Siamese Cat kin

Name: Paddy
Race: Siamese Feline
Gender: female
Age: young adult
Appearance: a chocolate point (approximately) Siamese domestic cat, with quite large claws; sapphire blue eyes; rust red hair that is straight and cut short to her shoulders in back, and rough on top; likes the contrast of green clothing, wears no shoes; has an aggressive look and the combat scars to show for it; voice is quite loud, like many of her specific cat breed tend to be
Personality: at least as strong willed as a lion, and has a tendancy toward flirting with darn near any feline Kin around her, though do be careful and don't irk her too much

Paddy is able to claw and dig her way through virtually any substance, be it flesh, wood, or dirt. Her gigantic claws grew when she matured, and never quite went back to their smaller more domestic-cat state. She cannot retract them on her feet, so she tends to leave gouge marks and incidental damage in soft materials. Her hands are unable to easily feel with these big claws, so she tends to just not try and pick anything delicate up, since she won't likely hold on to it carefully enough not to break. However with her clawed feet, even though non-retractable, she is able to grip and balance remarkably well and can hold on to surfaces or branches, beams or whatever else (until it's clawed through) and thus stand up to a massive enemy with ease
Offensive power: Average Animal Form (permanent, average) attacks ---3x normal power level
Offensive power: Average Balance/Agility attacks ---3x normal power level
Transport Power: Average Burrowing (dirt only) ---1x normal power level ---This power is out of control
Weakness: Bad Sense of Touch

Obviously her claws are her best offense and defense, and anyone stupid enough to come up close will feel their sting. She packs a very strong punch - or scratch as the case may be, and if she gets prey or an enemy close enough to wrap her arms around in a 'hug', it's toast: those feet will 'bunny kick' at it and pretty much that's all folks, it will be in shreds even if it's heavily armored. She is also known to use those feet to loosen dirt in an area where she's hunting, so that deer or warthogs will become mired and she can pounce on them effectively

Paddy was originally living among a 'semi feral' group, a gang, in a run-down city on a Human world. Her group had generally speaking been formed of offspring of servants and house workers, but a few were the children of 'pit fighters' - Paddy, one of those. Her parents did not have such strangely huge claws, but knew how to use theirs, escaping into the slums. She did try her hand at those pit fights, but once the humans caught on that she was some kind of weirdly mutated type, they marked her for removal and tried several times before successfully capturing her and moving her to Planet Twenty.

Even if she wasn't raised by gangmembers, she would have been as angry as anything on waking up - they'd kept her sedated during the entire trip. Her presence in the group that landed was marked by one of the only times that human guards were used to escort a prisoner off the drop pod. They just wanted to make extra sure she remained where they put her.

The other prisoners on that drop ship kept well away from her as she groggily woke, but also long after, and not just because she was surly and quite dangerous. It was that a very large brown dragon that simply appeared out of absolutely nowhere, dropping to the ground, and silently making herself known to the feline. Jyliith would only speak mentally to her rider, with an added menacing grumble similar to her rider's tone. They would be together on the forest and plains, finding refuge among the rocks and caves near the Plateau but not quite within the tribes there.

When the call for dragons and feline Kin went out though, for that extra special 'festival'... She showed up and took a good look around at the rather fine males, as her female brown also did. A queen-sized off-gendered type, with a queen-in-heat for a rider, oh boy. *more below*


.

It had been a fun year or so with her partner Jyliith learning the locations they would fly over, spotting dangers, spotting thrills that were just waiting to happen. One day however, she also spotted something else lurking in the tall grass near an encampment of hyena kin. The dragon and rider watched as this little winged cat-like creature crept up behind a tent, snuck down under the flap, and emerged with an entire leg of deer in its mouth before flashing into the air and vanishing.

"It can teleport?" Paddy said, "can you follow?"

With a brief glance around, faceted eyes changing colors with the perception, Jyliith gave a mental affirmation, and Paddy gripped her neck as gently as she could. The dragon's dorsal ridge was ragged before she arrived to Planet Twenty, it was slightly more ragged right there on her shoulder ridge from Paddy's clawed grip - but claimed, since it didn't really bleed and wasn't so sensitive that she cared, Paddy could dig through it and make a loop to hold on, if she really wanted.

She flew, didn't teleport, to where this little creature now sat on the other side of a tree-covered hill and was halfway through a deep bite of that hardly-earned meat. The dragon landed carefully, but was obvious to that creature. Thing is, he just looked at them, muzzle covered in still-bloody deer.

Y'want some? It's not big enough for you, he indicated the dragoness, but I can share if you want?

Paddy appraised this act and reaction with a slow nod. "Yeah I'm kinda hungry, I got questions though..."

Dragon

Name: Jyliith
Gender: Female, offgendered for normal Pernese style, but then she's from Mindspace! Capable of laying massive clutches of 30, depending on the size and type of male she pairs up with
Size/Shoulder/Length: large 15'2" s / 50' l / 66' ws
Colors: Brown, delicately streaked in lighter copper and darker tan, with very dark brown on the backs of the wingsails; claws light, eyes white
Features: Primarily Pernese, with higher jagged dorsal ridge from head to tail, and spaded tail, otherwise mainly similar to most in that breed
Powers: Winged Flight, she is very much the queen in the air, executing powerful moves and able to fly for extended periods without rest or even instruction. She knows where she wants to be, and will do everything in the book - and off of it - to reach her destination...
Teleportation, including teleport as a combat-worthy dragon, since she is 'a brown' after all, she keeps up appearances and will use all those combat tricks taught to males, even during mating flights
Telepathy, able to understand the speech around her and communicate directly to sentient minds, she listens but hardly ever speaks to anyone but Paddy. She's very capable of calling to her own kind up to 300 miles away, across the entire Plateau, and also to command them slightly while nearby. This power works much better over smaller dragons, instructing them where to go in a fight, and how to reach specific locations when they teleport
Telekinesis, her breed is very strong with this power, and she will use it to 'rumble' loudly, bellowing across the entire Plateau if her mind cannot reach another's. She can also shake the ground with a foot stomp, basically she uses this power to add to her natural motion, sound, and impacts, and must be careful not to shatter eardrums or break delicate caverns with those things too though!
Assisted Firebreath, notably she is capable of flames where other 'gold' queens are not, though she has yet to find a good source for the chemicals needed to chew on and get the reactions rolling
Possible Shapeshifting - as stated by DNS in their overall giveaway, "all" things that come from Mindspace, including Pernese as they are not 'on' Pern, may exhibit shapeshifting abilities. This may be responsible for her gendering, in fact, so expect off-gendered bebbies if they are in 'traditional' colors even if paired with another ostensibly-Pernese dragon
Parentage: none known, progenitor
Origin: DNS / Mindspace birthday to Shard 2008
Other Info: They will be participating in the Furry Festival ostensibly as a replacement for another dragon/pair.

Terigon Name: Zaitu
Sex: Male
Height: 2'11" at the shoulder
Abilities: Winged Flight, reliant on being as burly and bold as his friends, he can work up a speed dive and then literally cannonball into a much larger creature or object, and somehow not manage to break himself on impact. He likes carrying small items to and from his buddy Paddy, mostly to, mostly things that she wants but doesn't feel like ruining by holding on to herself...
Teleportation, keeps up with Jyliith beat for beat, though not covering as much air space while flying he can still boost himself with bursts of teleportation up to a mile away without even changing his wing gait. He is able to move between realms as well, though can't take anything large he can carry stuff, he's a filch who will nab your microwaved burrito right from your hand and Paddy will enjoy that thank you very much
Telepathy, Verbal Speech, doesn't talk much, but when you get him going, Zaitu will relate all of the places he's been to, the people and creatures he's seen, and just how much those things in his little den might be worth if he decided to sell them
