Winged Flight - loves to fly, and at his size casts an impressive wake when he wants to. But he's very agile in the air, doing loops and barrel rolls overhead in the halls, and can keep up with smaller dragons or many avian types easily. He is pretty strong too, so his carry capacity might lift an elf or small person along with their books to class Teleportation/Local and Nexus - Has developed a way to save up shed fur and poof it off himself by teleporting. That... leaves allergens, obviously, wherever he teleports. He is very good with short range local teleports from building to building, and has chosen specific spots to move directly to on any given rooftop perch (he's not the only one with this method, so in highly contested rooftop areas they have had to make multiple perches...). He can go longer distances but his 'no sweat' limit is from one end of the campus to the beach nearby. Venaem is also adept with nexus travel, carefully researching where and how he should arrive to a location based on its cultural traditions - will he be suddenly present or lurk in the shadows first? Only he knows. Verbal Speech and Telepathy - prefers to peek into minds carefully and quietly, only making himself known with a faint tickle that feels just like a ... creepy spider on your neck AAAAA! once that's done, however, he usually reverts to speaking in a chatty manner, though if he thinks its the right place or time, he'll go with a 'vant to suck your blooood' affectation. He knows he is a goth, and can whisper in a hoarse yet compelling tone, but at his heart he also just likes to talk loud over a club's music and chatter; note that this ability grants him an automatic +2 each to the Clusters below because he is a mind-reader |

Linguistics and Languages From All Over +3 (2) gets the gist of any given conversation even if it's between people who have never once uttered a word in English. He doesn't necessarily speak much more than a few phrases or terms in a dozen languages, but he can understand and associate tone, cadence, and words in that order over time. So if he's exposed to a large number of speakers for a week or so he can understand most conversational terms and their delivery. He won't spice up a role or story with randomly-inserted words unless he knows there is a native speaker around to confirm its proper use Culture Specialist +3 (2) all of his research is geared around traditions, spooky or otherwise. He loves hearing from people that come from other dimensions, other parts of worlds he's visited, and even just Furside Twoarth, to compare and contrast. What might seem fearful and scary in one place is just totally normal somewhere else, and he relishes the responses when he 'knows about this one story told over a campfire in your area' Speaking Of Campfires, Masterful Storyteller +4 (2) with a flashlight or a fire below him casting ominous shadows and flickering eerie light, he will set the tone and relate stories both long and short, true and tall, and you'll never know what you're going to get until he ends it. Might be a comedic slapstick, might be a truly tear jerking tale. He will regale you and you will love hearing every word from his compellingly charming voice |

Acting +3 His stage presence isn't limited to merely being a narrator. No, he will ham it up or be as subtle as you want, he takes direction well, but won't hesitate to ask about 'his motivation' or 'is this a better way to phrase that?' and more often than not he's correct to do so. He looks for roles that you don't expect a quad to be put in, and has pressed for lots more 'people without thumbs' roles Read That Writing +3 Doesn't matter what language something is in, or whether he can speak or understand all of the words verbally. Written words (rather than code or numbers) seem to just assemble themselves into 'I understand that' for him. Telepaths who have 'peered into' his process are amazed at what they can see through his glowing orange eyes - though they don't remember the content of the strange tomes, only that they were legible. He can decode physician-script and shorthand, and don't even think of writing some nasty thing on a locker 'just because it's in another language no one knows' because he knows what that slur means, you get that scrub brush and clean that crap off right now! Athletic Enough To Make You Think He's Not A Goth +3 though he's still a quad and thus has somewhat limited venues for team sports or activities for intelligent but animal-shaped folks, what he does do is pretty impressive, and he does definitely enjoy watching people assume he's some layabout pasty kid, and then he is doing loops around their full-size dragon friend on the field! |

Unfailingly Defends Underdogs (or cats or...) +3 Traditions may be fun to read but sometimes they come about due to the many 'isms found in cultures. Xenophobia, racism, retro-behavior, those things still exist even on Twoarth and sometimes get pretty bad when someone 'moves into the neighborhood' - but he doesn't tolerate intolerance. Except lactose. That he just pities... Yes He Sheds +2/-3 On one paw, he does leave a very large amount of shed fur and feathers every time he teleports, and that has caused a few runny noses and the very rare but present bright-red-blow-up from a bad reaction. But on the other, he doesn't mind when people want to use that shed stuff in crafting! Not In That Magic Spell Thanks, and no you cannot extract the DNA! The fur is delightfully rich in how black or white it is, and the feathers maintain their shape even when manhandled |
