Physical traits:
Age physically: 20 years
Actual age: 90 years
Height: Just under 5'5
Weight: 140lbs

Distinguishing Features: Gabby wears a grey flight jumpsuit with two breast pockets and four pockets on the legs. A patch on her left shoulder shows off the insignia of the Skycorp and another patch on the opposite shoulder shows the flag from her homestead continent of Aerikta.

Background:
Gabby was born on her home world Kaereal on Aerikta, one of 90 floating continents inhabited by a humanoid race. These floating continents vary in size, shape, and have vastly different cultures on each. Air travel was developed for the continents to travel to one another without having to trek through the Wilds. The Wilds is the planet surface below the continents and is uninhabitable by humans. It includes thick jungles full of various Wilds beasts, lava flows, fields of geysers that erupt corrosive and poison gas. Much it if remains unexplored.

Gabby was a pilot for the SkyCorp, a 90 continent funded organization that develops flight and defense technology. She has had combat training, medical training and many hours of flight to be a pilot and has a broad range of skills in these areas.

Her life came to a sudden and tragic end when a test flight went terribly wrong, causing her to crash on the surface of a continent, despite her best efforts. She left behind a mother, father and sister with whom she was close.

She awakes as a spirit, floating aimlessly, unseen, unheard, and intangible to her world for 70 years. This causes her to become disconnected to her humanity and forget things she once used to feel. Upon being teleported to the Observatory of the World Engine, she finds she has a doll body that can interact with the world around her for the first time in 70 years. Her emotions and memories slowly begin to return.

Abilities:
-Weapons and hand to hand combat training
-basic field first aid
-intelligence
-Doll Body: does not have organs, blood, or a heart beat. She does not need to breathe, but does so out of habit sometimes. The body allows her soul a vessel to use in the World Engine for the basic senses, which also includes pain.​
 
Hallay | Dragon

Gender:
Female

Age:
17 years old

Appearance:
Hallay is a very small, German shepard sized Terkaurai dragon. She has a muscular build with slightly oversized wings. Hallay has a Terkaurian’s black fur but a zig-zag pattern of red and purple dyed into her feathered wings. She also has a largely un-Terkaurian set of horns. They are currently very short and little more than small round plates on her head. Her tail is covered in short fur like her body until the end where a large cone of black feathers sits. Nested within the feathers is a deadly plume of poisonous quills.

Relationships:
Hallay's father left the clan when she was young to fight in the defence of the Terkaurai front against the fiery Fulhai. He died a few months before the Terrans showed up to an unidentified murderer, likely a rogue Fulhai. Her mother cared for her until 16 where she demanded to travel the world. It was less than a year before she was diagnosed with Cancer, an incurable disease.

Abilities:
Hallay has a potent green neurotoxin venom secreted by fangs, a sixth claw on her forearms, and her quills. She has gained an unusual degree of control over the poison she puts out, and can use it infrequently to put an animal to sleep without much visible permanent damage.

Personality:
Hallay is an outgoing dragon who settled down with a city job running messages instead of living the hunter life. She does not hold the strong beliefs that many of her kind do, but still respects them. She tries to look at the world outside of the Purebred / Mutt lense. The Terrans shook up most of her world, but life went on despite them and she tries not to harbour the feelings of hate that were so familiar to her when looking at the Mutts.

Strengths:
She is a good freerunner and can get through more environments much more agilely than dragons larger than her. Her small size also allows her to travel unseen most of the time. Her fur and feathers are fire resistant.

Weaknesses:
She can’t fight a dragon much larger than her without using her poison. Even though she can sometimes use it non-lethally she knows that death is a more likely outcome. Her Species' ancient depiction as savages still leaves an impression on her to this day.

History:
Hallay's father left the clan when she was young to fight in the defence of the Terkaurai front against the fiery Fulhai. He died a few months before the Terrans showed up to an unidentified murderer, likely a rogue Fulhai. Her mother cared for her until 16 where she demanded to travel the world. It was less than a year before she was diagnosed with Cancer, an incurable disease.

The Terrans arrival shook up life for most dragons, but life didn't change too much. The kingdoms were restructured under oversight from the Humans and police forces were deployed that assisted in maintaining order. Overall, her life in the jungle improved. The city was another question, the density of humans made many areas restricted access only, and the general outcasting of many dragons lead to a inequality gap like never before seen. Food actually became scarce for some dragons.

Oh, I should probably mention that you are both good to go to post when ready. I should have said that earlier.
 
No problem. Take your time. I was just worried everyone was waiting on me for approval actually.
