Powers

Magic Use - highly adept with spellcasting, Lex commits to memory virtually everything he's been able to read, and is now concentrating on motion, pronunciation, and components; this is due to...
- Animistic Power - the natural abilities of Dragons can be called upon for attack or defense, this is his mother's influence, as a dragon mage she can claim actual blood kinship with the engineered species of dragons on that world, and this has translated directly into Lex's powerset including his ability to read magic
- Able to read virtually any magical text, even before learning to read English (or Swahili, his father's tongue), thankfully he didn't actually start speaking until he was almost 3 years old, but by then he knew no fewer than 3 different Human languages, and 2 magical ones by sight
- Wall Crawling, can scale any surface and is very difficult to pull off of things when they cling, this is due to an early incident learning how to walk, he crawled right up the wall and onto the ceiling before his folks could stop him
- Strong with explosive-word casting, which has caused some problems with property damage...

Interdimensional - Lex is easily able to spot things that either belong or don't belong to the dimension around it, seeing portals, genrehoppers, time travelers and the like somehow distinct from local items or people; likewise non-local things and people seem to be attracted to him, he's a bit of a Weirdness Magnet in that regard, and he's okay with that

Clusters Dragon Centric +4 So much of his life has been influenced by his mother's draconic studies, and he's taken it in stride, knowing that it's his destiny to present them in their best light
Skills

3D Navigation +3 When you have dragon blood in your veins and can extend claws to climb sheer surfaces you get to know how to recognize ceiling fixtures and upside down dressers... excellent in flight situations, not so great for offering directions to people

Think Before Speaking +2 He's had to learn how to not just blurt out those magical words, because blowing up the kitchen or causing a rain of creamed corn got him in the time-out corner... but it doesn't come easily to him, he's a nut! Let the chaos reign!

Defends Trans Rights +2 At some point, she became he, and never looked back; magic and dragon genes likely contributed strongly to this happening, but he realizes that quite a few people don't have those options and really need them. Between his spellcasting and Enderroj's dream walking, they've helped out a few folks on campus, and spends an afternoon every week helping in the Gender Studies department even though he dosn't have classes there

Knacks

Library Card Holder +2 Every library, anywhere near Wonder, Crescent City, and on Jade - he's got a multipass for checking out even advanced subjects and 'forbidden texts', always returns them on time

First Impression Is Scary +2 For whatever reason, Lex takes a moment to get used to - probably because of his dragon genes, there's 'something' about him that exceeds his physical form; anyone that is afraid of dragons or magic will have to overcome this around him until they are used to his presence

Gordita, or more accurately "Gourd-Eata", both for her coloration, and the way she likes to hollow out fancy gourds and spit the seeds at perceived enemies; female 'feral flitter', large for her breed at about the size of a medium-small cat

Story

Dragon

Name: Enderroj Sikani (dream, END er roy)
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: 9'3” shoulder / around 80' long (at adulthood)
Colors: body Graphite black, sails orange-gold, feathers violet black, green and grey marks, bobs black-orange; eyes orange
Features: noodle Myrsilk-Feridragon mutt with extra wings errywhere and glowbobs
Powers: Winged Flight, noodly and speedy in the air, almost like Gordita's shot melon pits, Enderroj hardly needs any takeoff or landing space, and can turn on a 'dime' (it's a 'dec' on Zekira); obviously at her full size she's very capable of carrying quite a bit of weight though not at full speed nor turn capacity
Telepathy, broadly able to communicate with intelligent minds, those with magic or psionics easier and at longer range
Dreamwalk (not always nightmares), Enderroj drifts between minds that are asleep like an autumn leaf on the wind, keeping track of numerous trends among students - test stress, 'that no-pants dream again', who to invite to the dance. She can strongly influence moods while in them, and even connect several dreamers together if they are both near one another physically and psionic or magical themselves
Breedable (looking for psionic companions...) and Gene Alteration (among draconic breeds) something may come of this because she definitely wants a partner or two that enhance her own elemental and mental prowess; she can breed with virtually any draconic or feathered-serpent type, of any size, and thanks to the Zekiran side of things takes very well to being spliced. She has opted in on the Carramba dragonry list, so maybe some day she'll have a clutch for the campus classes?
Elemental (shadows, weak), though she's able to lurk in shadows easily, they do have to be naturally-present and not cast by any other magic user; she can appear to be nothing more than shadow but if she moves too much can be revealed; also if anyone can sense magic or psionics she is pretty obvious
Spirit (dead can dream, can't they?), senses and to an extent can communicate with the minds of the dead, generally only the recently dead or very powerful minds that linger longer
Best Ability Scores: Reaction + Courage; sped up reflexes and the willingness to head directly into the fray
Parentage: Zeronen / Banyak
Origin: October 2022 my giveaway Z-B third clutch
Other Info: a young Enderroj was attracted to Lex thanks to his own weird abilities, and decided to scoot off Zekira through that one portal leading directly to Carramba. While she was briefly distracted by the many, many people at the school, once the year started Lex was her one and only partner in crime. It will be at least 10 years before she attains the size shown above, and she's currently able to attend classes with him, though she is still long enough that she has to stretch along the floorboards to not get stepped on.
