TAKUTSUPUK

Image from Picrew

Name: Takutsupuk
Origin: First Generation Nidus Insula
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Species: Human (Elementally Linked)
Job: Water Bender Leader
Bonded at: Summer Swim Clutch 1
Abilities: Waterbending: Takutsupuk is a waterbender, with a specialization in phase transition. He is extremely fast to convert water to ice or vapour, and can use all states to his advantage.
Appearance: Takutsupuk is a small, slight man, and is very old-- but he is still very spry, and seems about twenty years younger than his seventy and some actual years. He's active and shows it. His white hair is long, braided along the top and cascading back over his shoulder. His brown skin is weathered, and he keeps a long mustache. Takutsupuk wears a long robe most days, though he keeps an apron over that more often than not when he's working. Regardless of time of year or whether he really should be dressing more safely, he wears sandals at all times. He claims he needs to feel the earth when teased about it.
Personality: Takutsupuk inherited the role of leader from his parents when he came of age, and he's kept his little village of water bending humans close with his thriving sense of community, of reformation, and of healing through meditation and hard work. His parents and several others were banished from their homelands, and found a place at Nidus Insula to settle. Their principle home is at a waterside bay an hour or two's walk from the main Nidus, and here they have developed an industry of clay making from the muddy banks where a river meets the ocean.

The settlement doesn't have a name, though it is organized a little like a monastery. Even so Takutsupuk is quick to empower his flock to treat it like the only and the best home they'll ever have. It's isolated and it provides plenty of opportunities for his people to work hard and make beautiful, precious items. There's access to water for practice of their martial arts, too, and everyone who has grown up here bears with them a technique passed on by their parents, which they keep alive through daily meditation and practice. Takutsupuk would have that: he leads by example. While he is not a very talented potter, he is a clever overseer and is absolutely spry on his feet with his waterbending.

Though he's old-- many here are-- he was eroded into accepting the opportunity to bond over the course of years and the somewhat limited contact his settlement had with the rest of the Nidus. His people were banished and, seeing sea dragons here, have come to think of them as influential beasts who might help elevate their water bending even further. His parents were against those associations, but Takutsupuk has to admit that the sea dragons he knows are elegant and powerful... and while he wants his people to thrive through healing, not to fall back on the ambitions, corruption, and greed that made their parents outcasts, he can admit that it might be time to forge new connections.

Name: Retlikinth
Origin: Summer Swim 2024 Clutch 1A
Gender: Male
Species: Glenn Dragon/Healing Denner Hybrid
Colour: Silver-Sapphire
Size: Medium-Small, 8'1" at the shoulder, 35' long
Abilities: Breath Weapon (Water, power level 5). This dragon can breath a high-pressure gout of water to knock back enemies.
Deep Swimming (power level 4). This dragon can withstand the pressure of greath depths, and hold its breath long enough to reach them.

Verbal Speech (power level 3). This dragon can speak aloud.
Water & Air Breathing. This dragon is adapted to breathe both under water and in air.
Water Bending. This dragon can learn forms adapted to its limbs and tail to magically move great amounts of water near it.
Personality: Retlikinth has always had a cool and reserved personality. That is partially from bonding such a wise old man, and partially because he is naturally a contemplative creature.

Retlikinth feels pressure to be responsible, mostly from his bond, and he makes use of this by not putting up with any silliness, by thinking very hard about what other dragons living with Takutsupuk's people will need, and speaking up for those needs as best he can. It's hard, though; living with such fragile creatures has shaped his understanding of how humans and dragons can live together, and so he's put himself at a distance with most humans, preferring to interact with Takutsupuk and Takutsupuk alone when he is on land.

Retlikinith spends a lot of time scouting under water near the village, helping to find useful, pearl-growing oysters to bring back for farming, and looking for absolutely the best under-water places for any other dragons who might come along to settle and help make their own.
