Name: Taina Kim (has a complicated Vort name)

Gender: Female, straight

Age/DOB: 20ish / 2012

Origin: Repurposed Earth, Enrichment Center, Fairport Alabama

Family: Mother Lynne, father Teddie, half-brother Lazarus, half-sister Juanita, other siblings and cousins; notably she is related directly to Alma Wade

Other: first girl born to the Pantheon

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 150, curvy build and will have issues with weight if given too much opportunity

Hair: Black, very thick and long

Eyes: golden brown, almost honey colored, angled

Appearance: Tan skin, very brassy in the sun, curvy and sultry with a voice to match her good looks. She prefers to be in warm places so she can show off

Genetic Abilities: Extremely strong Vortal senses, including long distance empathy, telepathy, and aura reading. She can easily be overwhelmed in large or powerful groups, but also may have an empathic command ability if she concentrates on using it. Unlike both her parents, however, she is eager to learn how to manipulate and tweak the emotions of those around her, not in any negative fashion, but sometimes to their dismay.

Icarus Processing: Oh absolutely not. Both of her parents were skipped for the process even though they would have physically tolerated it - Vortally however, their overwhelmed senses would have been enough to either kill them, or cause them to damage themselves.
Skills or Profession: As with many of the second generation Pantheon, Taina has a basic education regarding science and literacy, math, and some amount of history. She's more interested in the social aspects of life, and fashion design. She's quite good at dancing, showing off her curves, and working with colors as well as fabrics. She and Wilson get along pretty well for that reason. Because she's more or less an empathic powerhouse, she has concentrated her efforts on group dynamics and psychology.
Personality: Sly, careful to befriend people that she can actually trust, but she's very popular among most groups - more than likely due to her powers, rather than anything she's actually done with them.
Events or History: She was among the first children with a Vort title, and it's a doozy apparently... Since she grew up around 'all those very powerful people', she's less affected by the presence of Lane and his ilk than some in her line, and has, since the Rookery anyway, decided to head over to his Mansion, where she works with the Carnies post RY8. She absolutely loves learning to perform and posture, and they have taken her in learning their ways.

Dragon

Name: Paradise (Bird of Paradise)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 13' shoulder / 55' l / 90' ws
Colors: Body extremely dark grey on face, sides, limbs including full wing fingers, and down tail; underside from neck to tail tip and behind limbs sparkly yellow-orange plates with gold tones and tiny white specks; back plates and limb armor, over face, and down tail extremely slick black; wingsails violet and magenta nebula swirls, with tiny white star-spots; strip of scales between belly and sides in subdued magenta; dorsal spine ridge, horns, nubs, and claws all dark golden orange; eyes blood red
Features: Skywing / Nightwing hybrid; four slender limbs with 5 and 4 short curved claws including thumb and heel claw; two leathery 4 fingered wings with elbow strut and prominent wrist thumb all with long curved claws; scaled skin with large even plates on belly from chin to tail tip, smaller scales on body, overlapping plates along entire back, neck, and tail, plates on fronts of limbs; face is slender and angular with eyebrow and nose plates, jaw nubs, and a curved nose horn, external ears, slightly spiraled backswept horns; dorsal ridge in short triangular plates
Powers: Winged Flight, Paradise is a master of night-time flight but also loves to fly in sunsets or storms. He is elegant in the air, strongly able to hover (note his very large chest muscles), and can carry quite a bit of weight before tiring, and enjoys lifting entire groups of people on his back without tipping or losing anyone. Importantly though, he is pretty in the air, striking poses and looking exceptionally 'draconic' while doing so.
Nighttime Navigation, because his Nightwing parent was quite good at this as well, Paradise is easily able to detect and avoid any dangers while flying at night. From random trees and buildings, to incoming missiles or dangerous power lines, he avoids all of those even with a full load of goods or people being carried. Because of this he's sent out to collect people on night raids, usually in the evening hours but sometimes at dawn, his coloration helping blend in at both times in most areas near the Mesa.
Verbal Communication, though he has an empathic bond with his little human friend and can be detected by those with Vortal power, Paradise is only able to communicate outwardly with speech. He is eloquent, sure, and absolutely can act up a storm - he believes there ought to be a full troupe of draconic actors so they can play out great battles and tell tales. His voice is deep, resonant, and commanding.
Flame Breath, as with his Skywing parent, he has a blast of fire that he can use to burn things to a crisp. It is short ranged, but he can also do tricks with it, such as belch out gasses in patterns, that he then can ignite into subsequent bursts almost like sequential explosives, or fireworks. These short range bursts can be done without tiring, but if he needs to actually do combat fire, his ability falls a little shy of great. He prefers to be of use in distraction and causing enemies chaos, since their armor frequently won't melt with his fire. Paper, dry wood, and other such easily burned bits will turn to ash quickly, though. So he is apt to set perimeter fires and encircle enemies with timed bursts, while others do the heavier fighting.
Parentage: Mother Skywing, father Nightwing, and though it's unclear how closely they're related, Nebula, Borealis, and Razorwire are pretty obviously related to Paradise through that Nightwing's line.

Other Info: Paradise is among the younger arrivals, not an egg when he moved between worlds though. It's been guessed that his expertise in flight and fancy tricks comes from a deeper Vortal connection to his draconic breed than he can control, as they seem to be able to tell just where he is. This might have been a liability on their homeworld, however, if he was to be in battle and other dragons knowing his location? Well, that's not a problem here. He will try and stick with entertainment and transportation.
