Listed as a Controller in Paragon's registry, with Illusion Control and Storm Summoning abilities, Flight, and Speed Pools
Flight - this is clearly an extension of her storm abilities, she's easily able to lift herself and fly at a good speed with exceptional agility; she is also able to lift others with this, depending on their distance from her; when merely 'hovering' she is considerably more able to fend off ranged attacks
Speed - with little jolts of energy from lightning and weather, it's no wonder she can pummel enemies with her fists quickly, or accelerate her attack chain; this does wear her out so she doesn't use it frequently; she also has a separate 'Whirlwind' power which acts like Hurricane but without the chilly visible effects Illusion Control - her illusions are technically speaking 'lightning' based, as she is able to manipulate tiny interactions between particles in the air, causing brief glimmering lights to appear in shapes that she can control
- Blind (a ranged area of effect that temporarily incapacitates enemies)
- Spectral Wounds (causing the victim to be temporarily blasted by small electrical bursts)
- Deceive (confuses an enemy into attacking their allies)
- Flash (a very strong explosive burst that temporarily disorients and hampers enemies)
- Invisibility (disguises the air around her to look like the surroundings)
- Phantom Army (detailed images of 'more of her' that she uses to distract and attack separately)
- Spectral Terror (a little mini-storm front! causes fear and scatters enemies)
- Phantasm (condenses storm-like energies into a humanoid form
which produces outright lightning and electrical damage)
Storm Summoning - exactly as it seems, bringing a little bit of weather to Beautiful This Area! Note that while she can create brief very cold areas, she cannot control ice or water outright, just the actions of the existing molecules in the air; she can drop the temperature to cause a puddle to freeze, but that effect is very temporary and not nearly as effective as anyone who can control water or ice directly
- Gale (causes little damage but can knock back a group of enemies at close range)
- Oxygen Boost (allows healing and resistance to effects such as sleep or disorientation, in allies only, and sharpens their perception thanks to an increase in oxygen in their blood)
- Snow Storm (causes an area to be filled with heavy and cold air, reducing enemy speed and causing fliers to drop)
- Steamy Mist (adding to stealth for a nearby area of effect, and causing allies to be bolstered against elemental damage)
- Freezing Rain (bringing hail down on a nearby area, slowing enemies and pelting them with small impacts)
- Hurricane (centered on herself, a small - melee range - 'hurricane' forms and causes enemies to be knocked down or pushed away)
- Thunder Clap (a great noise in a narrow area around her, causing enemies to become very disoriented)
- Tornado (an area of effect that pushes enemies around and buffets them, also causes disorientation with visuals)
- Lightning Storm (a very strong energy storm front close to enemies, which causes fear, reduces their energy level, and electrically discharges) |

Heroics +5 She is an experienced crime fighter, well versed in the ways of rooting out criminals, detective work, fighting actual crime, and finally... paperwork... This also includes the skills she has in 3-D movement, flight, cause and effects, and damage mitigation
Meteorolgy +3 Though she was only an assistant when the accident that caused her powers to show up occurred, she's since gotten several degrees in weather based and atmospheric research! |
| Skills |
School Is Life +5 An academic like herself will always be more comfortable in a research setting than actively fighting, but she does both with ease, she knows the ins and outs of basically 'how to do school stuff' and as such is often consulted by both students and staff for inspiration or clarification; Summer is a very good instructor provided she's either in her own class or element, or has time to prepare if she's substituting in someone's classroom
Weather-Based Activities +4 Do you need a slip and slide? What about a gentle rain to moisten dry planting soil? How about a refreshing cool mist on a hot summer day? She's got it, no worries. She also knows how to avoid making the hot dog buns soggy, and can redirect lightning so it doesn't hit your star water polo team...
Science! +4 Knows how to do most scientific tasks even if they aren't in her specialty or doctorate areas. Research assistance, lab organization and work, cleaning and safety issues, and actually how to publish science research that people can actually understand without a degree - because she wanted to know how to do x and y long before she graduated! |
| Knacks |
Legwarmers! +3 She has this thing with "old 80s fashion" and never hesitates to don bright patterns, clashing color schemes, neons, and yes, those legwarmers. It's both charming and a conversation starter and thankfully she does know when to dress down and 'normal' for a place or event
Will Edit Your Wiki Article If It's Wrong +3 Look you don't even have proper citations here, that link led to a dead site but someone else republished it, wait you didn't even write that paper hold on a mo--
Doesn't Balk At Telling Off Authority Figures +/-3 She can safely say that people who break the rules aren't always in the wrong. Some rules are there for compelling reasons. Sometimes they're only in place to mess with already difficult lives. So let's make sure that the right rules are in place? If I have to start a fund or lobby your senator I absolutely will, and I Know People... (she does know people. They are dangerous people) (in fact she's one of the least dangerous people in SACCADE) This can put her in the sights of bad actors, but she knows that both SACCADE and her dragons, and the staff at CHS, have her back! |

| Breathless |
Name: Breathless
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: large (big wings) 13' s / 70' l / 95' ws
Colors: body twilight violet and dusty blue, feathers darker blue on body and legs, wings dusty blue-grey to sparkly grey-blue, with star sparkle markings (or just... stars!), red-violet crest and accent feathers, white and black face
Features: Owl Dragon*, long noodle body with head that is round-faced with owl-like beak and eyes, upwards curving horns around head in various sizes, crest that starts on head and goes down neck; four legs with taloned 4-clawed feet; snakey armored body with feathers on sides and back; two feathered wings with 4 clawed fingers (unknown whether there is webbing under main feathers) and large wrist claw/thumb; long feathered tail. Note that he is large and a carnivore, but he does like fishing so being out by the coast is nice... though he does have to be told to stop trying to pick up the Sea Otter and Seal Kin out there...
Powers: Winged Flight, Stealth, this is an owl, a very very big very long noodly owl. He flies entirely silently, even at his size, and only if he disturbs loose things or scrapes rock or walls with his talons on taking off or landing, would you ever know he's there at all. He can cruise at extremely slow speeds, or move very quickly with an almost ribbon like pattern, using his tail to change course and his wings only to provide lift and speed. He's also quite big and fluffy so there's plenty of thick and sound feathers to hold on to, but don't get lost in them on his back, the crest feathers are all about 3' long. He can fly confidently in strong winds and very well in thick fog or mist, though he prefers not to fly during hard rain or heavy snow - mainly because he stands out against those...
Star Stepping, a teleportation ability that only works at night and provided there are stars visible, though this can allow him to teleport to other distant planets he ususally just moves from one part of the area to another within about 1 mile range
Verbal Speech, Long Distance Precise Hearing, tilting that great head allows him to hear things from miles away, and those horns actually aid in identifying their precise location and type. He can speak several draconic screeching tongues, but prefers more subtle humanoid language, speaking English and Spanish easily, and then numerous bits from people he's familiar with from Korea, French Canada, local Kumeyai, and even bits of digital-sounding code beeps from the SACCADE power and records rooms
Extremely Good Night Vision, not so much in the day, he'll squint and hesitate in the day light. But at night or in twilight or low-light conditions, Breathless is very much able to 'read a newspaper at 2 miles'. Even while in flight, he can read what you're typing on that stupid phone please put it away and pay attention to the night hike you dumb idjits... Oh yeah with that neck he doesn't need to do that weird Owl-Swivel-Head thing, but he can do it anyway which is super crazy to watch (he does wind up looking like the Owl House's ... owl head) This does allow him to 'see around corners', though his face is like four feet across so it's still unnerving
Starstruck, Flaring his wings and using what must be a bit of magic, Breathless can stun people or creatures that can see using a scintillating pattern of those star markings on his feathers. Angling them just right, he can flash and emulate an entire swarm of fireflies, or holding them upwards together (with some difficulty that makes his wing arms ache a little) he can make an almost exact copy of the stars behind him in a static pattern, but more often he'll do that while in flight, so that even if you look up you won't SEE him
Parentage: Unknown, *unclear who or what might have gone into this beautiful birb
Origin: Adopted from Synthwaveterror with x-tamara-x lines on Deviantart *note that this species had been part of their wings of fire set but are clearly nothing like those, and also have vanished from their info as far as I know. I will just use my imagination because there was never consistent info on any of their fan-tribes.
Other Info: Observant and to the point when he decides something, Breathless knows that people are absolutely going to be filled with awe at the sight of him. And when they're not, he can make them be. |
| Frostnip |
Name: Frostnip
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Small, 5'6" s / 5'9" biped head
Colors: Pink and Silver-White
Features: info below, Ice Elemental
Powers: Wingless Flight, not a very good flier overall in the weather found on the west coast, but when Summer and the others are back east in Rhode Island weather he does really shine. Cannot carry much and tends only to carry what can be slipped into a carry bag under his mane
Teleportation, he does actually spend much more time back east, but can easily reach the Zero Degree Labs as well as SACCADE's Deep Temperature area
Telepathy, Empathy and *Verbal Speech, though limited in range, Frostnip's mind is like newly fallen snow, slightly crispy ice crackling. He will listen to people's emotions carefully before chatting anyone up, he doesn't want to attract too much attention; can only speak verbally in bipedal form, and has a charming faintly-Bostonian accent
Ice Manipulation, a magnificent shaper of things cold, it's not limited to ice or snow, but liquids that are super-chilled and even metals that are liquid approaching 0C temperature might respond to his commands. He can carve and shape solid ice into sculptures, bore through glaciers or icebergs with ease, and actually 'run' on snowflakes. He will drop ice in your drinks when they get too warm, and keeps those labs and 0C rooms at an even temperature
Flesh Shape and Self Shape *note I believe this pink dragon is not red, so doesn't have fire/heat powers..., an unusual 'element' but he can move from four feet to two in a few minutes, and acts as a reasonably normal humanoid while doing so. Can maintain this form for 8 to 10 hours, then rests up overnight as a dragonshape. He can't individually shape parts with this ability. However he can lay his humanoid hands on a creature and change bits of it, such as giving fingers temporary webbing for swimming, or a light down of fur for the cold. These changes are not painful, but they do kind of sting like having an ice cube sitting on you a while. They are temporary, lasting about a day
Parentage: Unknown
Origin: Holic Giveaway 2010 (sorry that link is long dead)
Other Info: Does feel a little like he is a 'spare' but he also is relied upon in those labs, and Summer truly seems to appreciate the work they get to do together there. He kind of has considered that maybe she finds him human-attractive enough... |

Ice Elementals are relatively small, and will rarely exceed 6 feet at the shoulder.
Spots and stripes are both possible but very rare
They prefer purely wintery climates, though will settle for a temperate one. Rarely if ever found in a tropical climate, there are very few recorded cases of one being found in the desert. With some adaption they could live in a desert area with a proper cooled living quarter to return to.
Temperament: Very shy and quiet, they are playful and elusive creatures and it takes some time to gain their trust. They are friendly to other Ice Elementals are a very loyal type.
Diet: They are omnivores, though oddly enough, they can live purely off of snowflakes.
Pack: You will rarely find an Elemental wandering alone, they are a herd type, preferring the safety and community of other Elementals or similarly tempermented creatures.
Intelligence: Average to above average in intelligence
In the wild they will breed once every year, bearing no more than 5 offspring with the right conditions. Their offspring are live-born.
Features: long long legs having floof only on hind, pawed, very high body, horse-like snout on slender neck with massive mane, two thin back pointing horns, thin lion-like tail, ice shard wings disconnected and floating (can fly, doesn't need flapping they're magic)
Natural Abilities: Elemental Abilities based on color - When it comes to elemental abilities, a red elemental will have fire-related powers, blue elementals will have water-related, green will be earth-related, and so on
Telepathy, Empathy, Vocal speech [uncommon]
Teleportation
Ice Based Abilities
Size shifting [uncommon] |
