Original Tribe: human mages, murdered (doesn't know this) Arrived to Bald Mountain: 140, after an 'indeterminate period of wintertime' at the Healing Den's winter gather grounds
Height: human 6', elf out of scale there at 4'8" Build: human slender and wiry, elf average and not really curvy
Hair Color, Length, Style: both forms have hay-blond hair that is somewhat dry and flyaway, around high back in length but usually kept in a bun or tied as shown; straight and doesn't take styling very well

Skin Tone: light, but not completely pasty, with a rosy blush for winter

Clothing -- Summer: 'summer what is that?' likes to pare down either way because they love the winter cold more

Magic? How Powerful?
Thought Sending 7/10 a good range particularly in Elf form, and can ping another telepathic mind (dragon, elf) within 10 miles
Magic Feeling 2/10 Noel's human magic is different from elfin but they can still sense it to a degree
Mental Suggestion 9/10 this power is of use when meeting new Humans because when you can be one that's good, but if you can then convince them that it's absolutely cool to also be an elf or that there are dragons? A sort of forced-reset on mood usually causes a sentient mind to rethink their anger or fear, Noel doesn't typically use this power on elves unless they are very, very against humans
Shapeshifting - dragon male / human male (mage) / elfin female 10/10 all very quick, in fact instant changes between. Once they have clothing assembled their bipedal forms will have whatever they last were in. They can hold any of these shapes indefinitely. The two male forms may sire with whatever is a suitable type, and the female elf must have an elf male partner and she will have to remain in this shape for the full 2 years to bring the child to term. It's not really known whether she requires a Recognition, since Noel doesn't have a 'soul name' rather someone who might discover 'the deep dark truth' about their male human mage form might do it...
Concealment 6/10 requires at least misty or foggy type air, or an appropriately simple area surrounding, and generally this is done while in dragon form but can be used by the male human. Since it was likely part of their spell magic, they can concentrate and work it while moving, but also is best while standing still
Ice Magic Suite 10/10 - this includes a variety of extremely strong forms of ice creation, sensing and sensing through it, creating storms, and localized shaping of existing or magically-created ice. It's notable that Noel's power to shape it is (improbably) enhanced by the ice being created or shaped by an elf before he gets to it. Overall most of the time if it's a very warm or dry time of year, it's more difficult to do, but Noel can still push out a nice cool front and make all the ice cubes you'd ever want...
Climate/Locations Preferred: Winter, and cold areas! Loves the snow, loves being up where the air is crisp, but also adores being able to slide over icy waterways, and fly into blizzards
General Likes: being accepted and having friends; throwing snowballs
General Dislikes: getting Those looks from people who don't care for either shapeshifters or humans, even as an elf
Fears/Worries: that some of those people giving those looks might have stronger sway in the tribe. It's very unlikely that Noel would ever be turned out of the place, though, because they are still a dragon
Special Strange Info: they are a dragon.
Basic Personality: polite and conscientious about the people, wildlife, and dragons around them, Noel does not assume and will only nudge emotions when really necessary; otherwise pretty genial and casual
How they feel about
Humans
: well ... like, the ones on Abode are a bit tougher and meaner but maybe that is because they don't have access to true magic like he did? Noel tries very hard in all forms to accommodate humanity and urges others to do so too, because let's face it, they are the dominant life form here
Elves -- herders: hm, well he remembers the days of visiting a ranch?
Elves -- magic users: glad they are more like him, but ... y'know, nothing is 'like' him
Elves -- bond-riders: it's entirely possible that some day Noel might have a rider? Or perhaps another dragon to pair up with as an elf human?
Trolls, etc: these are certainly different from anyone he knew. The ones living here in Bald Mountain are just fine, but he's heard stories
Bond Animal Info if any: none yet

Skills: learns new uses for powers quickly; is excellent at navigation in hard conditions, and thus can be relied upon to fetch people or animals that have been lost in storms; Yes, They'll Try Your New Clothing On!

History: as much as Noel-Ginebra has a history, had been a human mage somewhere, then was murdered, then had the magic in his spirit to become a Shroud, dragons who exist purely to continue the magic maybe? Then, winter... spent a lot of winters in the Healing Den's snowy realm. Then finally, decided to come to Abode.

 

Dragon Name: Noel-Ginebra
Gender: Male*
Size: Medium 14' s / 50' l / 60' ws
Build: long and healthy noodle with slender legs
Physical Features/breed: Shroud Dragon (below); long and narrow but with strength in shoulders and legs; four clawed paws, two leather wings with 3 fingers and an elbow spar visible underneath only, large wrist thumb; head is conical, with very large eyes and two curved back-pointing horns; tail has unevenly alternating curved spines (? fins?) large to tiny at tip
Colors: wintery Ice Blue body slightly darker at feet; wingsails blend this with large dusty blue and gold snowflake patterns; horns and tail spades dusty blue; eyes red-brown *note that these colors do not appear on the skin of either biped form, but the gold does in the form of hair, and their eyes are this shade
Abilities: ^Flight, only available with wings, but Noel is delicate in the air, like a twirling snowflake, and can maintain their flight indefinitely if the weather is chilly. They can navigate in absolutely terrible blizzard conditions, and easily move even with strong winds, though you'll want to have a way of hanging on if allowed to ride...
^Fiery Breath (gaseous), Noel-Ginebra's breath weapon is a strange gas-like heat, while not particularly able to burn things, it will melt what snow there is if he breathes it onto a fresh fall, and can concentrate a bit to melt older snow or crunchy ice, though that's about it
Verbal Speech, Telepathy, Suggestion - these abilities all come with a voice slightly different from one to another form as above, however their telepathic communication is always 'slightly icy but glittery' like a snowflake glimpsed in the morning sun; their Suggestion power is likely why they're able to get away with being human at times, it's 'you like this one' if around just elves, or 'you accept me this way' if around humans in general
Concealment, if the weather is cool and crisp or foggy and snowy, Noel-Ginebra is capable of simply vanishing into an icy haze or almost mirror-like transparency. They are still there, but they are effectively part of the scenery (which may also be a form of Suggestion, since this is often done before introducing to any humans)
Ice Magic - *Summon Ice Storm, *Create Ice, *Shape Ice all of these are part of a very strong suite of abilities unique to Noel and possible to be used in all forms, see description in elf-portion above
Shape Shifting - *Elfshape (female), Human Form (male) - one is natural but shaping to two genders or forms like this is definitely unique to Noel. They differ as shown above, though the elf is too large in the image. The human shape is what he used to look like in his prior magical life.
Parents: Unknown, progenitor
Origin: Winter Gather 2005; by Samber  http://www.geocities.com/mintlilly
Other Info: Shroud Dragon; created when human mages are killed in particularly nasty ways, such as poisoning or suicide. The mage, rather than dying, becomes a dragon. Some are good, some are evil, and some are in between. They do not retain memories of their human lives, but may take on the form that they had in their former lives at will. Dragon size varies by mage strength; so this dragon is perhaps 14' at the shoulder? Racial abilities are separate from personal / specific that only work for individuals, based on Samber's description (racial = flight, conceal, breath, a human form, verbal speech and telepathy, and suggestion); Specific Abilities marked with * above, and ^ for dragon only
