Ranyx


Image made at: Wayward Martian (flashpoint used)	Name: Ranyx Kshau (RAN icks) Gender: Male, aro pan Age/DOB: 17/RY-4 Origin: Healing Den Family: mother Tessrabia, father Cynonix; twin sister Bianon; older siblings Tyssix, Cryten, Xenrai Other: is likely to mad-science himself either partners or children, or both Height: 6'0" Build: upright and slender, muscular, quite a bit like dad Hair: medium shiny grey, thick, straight, with distinct widows peak; hangs to butt and is usually loose Eyes: Sanger blue, round pupils Appearance: paler peachy fur than expected, more like Tess's skin color actually, with large dark blue-grey spots and his tail has a grey tip; more humanoid pointed ears than cat-like, but still has a wet triangle nose, thick tail for balance, and clawed fingers and toes; tends toward neutral brown leather outfits, wrapped feet, he has paw pads on his feet so he likes being able to feel the ground with them. Has a deep, very smooth voice Standing At: (gift) Dragon: Aahioth Created/Updated: 7.28.23 for birthday giftage!
Genetic Abilities: like his twin and siblings, he was born in the Healing Den, but unlike their older triplet sibs, this twin pair remains in the Den most of their lives. As such, his abilities are enhanced. Similarly to his sister, his senses are enhanced strongly, though for him it's sight and pressure sense. Since he is able to run in a blur, he avoids hitting things by virtue of feeling the changes in pressure as he passes them. He can see in almost complete darkness, though will be blinded briefly if a bright light appears. He is ideal to work in low-light situations, where photosensitive materials are in use. Also he has a strong empathic and telepathic connection to his twin, siblings, and direct relatives (rather than the extended Sanger / Kshau 'family', just his grandparents, cousins, and future children/grandchildren). He can telepatihcally communicate at virtually any on-site distance with his sister, and up to 10 miles away for others. He can detect deeper emotion and the presence of motives in people nearby, and for this reason tends to shy away from emotional connections in a relationship. He prefers to be up front about that.
Physical Traits: Though his fur is thicker than his sister's, it is colored more like their human parent's. He has a thick cheetah tail for balance while running, and fleshy pointed ears. Effectively immortal, his healing factor is markedly strong, so even if he does accidentally smash into a wall at full speed, he won't be all that damaged and can 'walk it off'. His speed is stunning, superheroic in ways, as he can sprint in a literal blur, almost to the point of breaking the sound barrier. He cannot keep this speed up for long durations, but he is definitely able to run a hundred miles in less than a minute. Unlike his sister he does get lost. Because cornering at that speed is super hard! Ranyx's dexterity is similarly amazing, he can fiddle with very small items, or perform intricate finger motions rapidly. As long as a device can keep up, he can type nearly a thousand words a minute. He can and will sire offspring 'the natural way' with virtually any mammal of humanoid or feline basis, and they will tend toward twins and 'litters'.
Personality: takes after his father, in a lot of ways, but is more open and confident right off the bat. He is a touch on the jumpy side if he doesn't know someone and they approach him for hands-on, like please do not pet his shoulder, he will both try to bite and jump away across the room in a literal flash.
Skills and Profession: A lot more of the 'SCIENCE!' than his sister, he tends to remain in the labs and only come out when he knows he needs to eat or touch grass a while. He won't shy away from those things, he just often enough forgets! He's far from 'absent minded', his memory is very strong, but he loves truly deep-diving into a subject to learn about it, and will realize it's 3 am and he can hardly see past his book or monitor.
Events and History: Brought up close to home and parents, he knows the ins and outs of the Den's layout by heart even if they've changed a little here and there. He loved going to the school and other dimensions for those learning trips, and has collections of books, journals, photos, sample cells, and trinkets from a lot of them. While his sister was busy tending to her own magnificent dragoness, he was nudged on another world, by this... pale mottled white nose.
Hungry, he said, don't jump. Only me. With his furry brow raised, Ranyx asked, "'only'?" You are my one and only, Aahioth is me. Ranyx gave the broadest smile that anyone had ever seen, at that moment. -- They trained in strength and practiced on the ground, before Aahioth finally took flight. Though he would never be a big dragon, or even what most folks called a 'small' one, the white put his paws down confidently and his wings up with grace. He didn't even faceplant on that first flight! His strong chest and observant eyes helped him remember where to put his tail, they would not be running - or flying - into any other dragons in formation! -- I will help you search for things, Aahioth suggested, but I like it at night like you do. "It's always 'night' here," Ranyx replied, of the Den. Outside it is bright. In the air on worlds it is night sometimes. "How...did you know about the Outside?" Misota told me! Well, Dantinath did. "We should go see where they've been, and when." Everywhere! Future! Past! The dragon was excited, to say the least. ** They would definitely be best off at night, even if this dragon was bone white. He was small and lithe, they could avoid search lights, telescopes, or even people watching from airplanes. They stayed well clear of those dangers, having met Mandragora and her fine gold Qutteth they knew how dangerous it could be around jets.
Dragon Name: Aahioth (AHH hee awth) Gender: Male Size/Shoulder/Length: sport-small, 4'6" s / 15' l / 22' ws Colors: mottled pale grey body and limbs, mottled white wingsails; faceted green-blue eyes Features: Pernese, boxy face with slightly pointed headknobs, large keeled slender body, four large paws, two leather wings with 4 visible fingers and a short wrist nub, no claws; slender unadorned tail Powers: Winged Flight, though quite small, and only able to carry his bond and some equipment, he's very durable in the air, and energetically able to dodge quickly moving things - like his rider! He can take longer flighted trips than expected from one his size, even with Ranyx and a pile of new books tucked on his back harness. Teleportation, he is an expert at Nexus, Temporal, and Dimensional travel, knowing exactly where he is and how to get where and when they are needed. He isn't prescient but seems apt to land just the right amount of time and space away from their destination that they can prepare and check out the area first. He can teleport on-site, but that actually leaves him a bit winded, so he prefers to relocate other ways rather than zipping around in local space. He's small enough that this has never been an issue in places like the Den, after all, since he can and does squish down to 'Lian size' and walk beside his rider in most areas indoors, not just the Den's halls. Telepathy, Aahioth is mostly keen on talking to his rider and other dragons. Beyond that, it's rare that he would comment directly into a mind of any humanoid. He tends to leave a strangely chalky feel with his communication, more the soft chalk dust from a board, and not the screeching of chalk on one, though! He's a dragon of few words, though he does understand a good amount of the sciency stuff that his bond does, he more likes the results, and the seeking out new stuff, than the lab work or sitting around reading parts. While his rider is immersed in a book or journal, Aahioth is known to be zooming around the Nexus. He definitely collects information from dragons, more easily than their riders. Assisted Firebreath, he has never had cause to use this ability but it will pass either as is or unassisted to any offspring he sires, depending on their origin Parentage: none known, progen, though they are Tarizal based in form, so they have some connection to that old dragonry Origin: birthday gift 2023 from Ty! Other Info: He might sound simple minded but Aahioth's anything but. He just isn't as likely to use the technical terms, he enjoys chatting with all kinds of dragons, and some of those aren't nearly as gifted with information or knowledge as he is. He is the one who will drag Ranyx out of his studies, with a rumbly tummy and a draconic laugh that he's found a great place for hunting.
