Avengaean Functional Magic

A wide-ranging ability to wield magic to just about any practical purpose. Though innate, practice is necessary to become truly skilled.

Claws

The possession of long, indestructible claws that can cut through most substances with ease when desired to.

Invisibility

The ability to render oneself unable to be seen.

Psionics

The ability to use mental-based powers such as telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. All asandae have latent psionics but not all practice the skills. Mages tend to cultivate their psionics as they help with more complex manipulations of functional magic.

Shapeshifting (Dragon-Human Spectrum)

The ability to shapeshift to any form between human and dragon shapes, the former tending to retain the coloration of the latter.

Verbal Speech

The ability to communicate in spoken words.

Veandi carries himself with deliberate composure. He doesn't rely on spectacle or brute authority to command attention, but builds his presence through restraint and awareness. He understands how fear, reputation, and influence function, but he uses them with intention rather than impulse. Where others chase power for its own sake, Veandi focuses on building something that will last. His moral code centers on protection and order, though he's pragmatic about how those are maintained. He doesn't enjoy cruelty, but will act decisively in ways that can be perceived as such if it prevents larger problems later. Stability matters more to him than dominance, and he would much rather shape an event's outcome than be an uninvolved bystander.

With Tosano, Veandi becomes a steady counterbalance rather than a restraining force. He doesn't try to dampen her chaos, but redirects it, adjusting plans on the fly so that her momentum lands somewhere useful. Her unpredictability doesn't unsettle him, but gives him something to sharpen his reactions on. Emotionally, he is reserved but fully invested and deeply loyal, showing his affections through consistency and foresight rather than grand displays. If a threat approaches, it often finds that Veandi has already considered it and made his move long before anyone else even noticed there was a game at play.
