Hyrax Tusco

Name: Hyrax Tusco Age: 33 Gender: Female Species: Glintscale

Background

Hyrax is a weapon and ship blacksmith who enjoys battle. History: When she was a baby, Hyrax’s father, Morax Tusco, was exiled from his clan after challenging the leader. The leader was trying to steal away Hyrax's mother, Hyula, in a fit of jealous lust. In the fight, Hyula was killed and Morax escaped with Hyrax, leaving his clan behind. He got a ride off Eldernica with a ship from the Slag Brotherhood, who eventually welcomed him in. Raised by her single father, Hyrax grew up among the Slag Brotherhood, learning their ways and becoming a weaponsmith. When a rowdy client came one day to complain about the new weapon installed on his ship (it wasn't defective, he was just using it wrong), Hyrax was forced to physically fight him to restrain him. That fight awakened something in her core, and the thirst for battle and glory arose in her. Since then, she also had a dream of becoming a great warrior across the Solstellar Galaxy, while using her smithing skills to help her father financially.

Dislikes

Eldernica, dresses, cold weather, Behavior: Hyrax is usually very cool and laid-back, unique for a Glintscale. However, if she's insulted about a sensitive subject like her mother or her smithing skills, she will not hesitate to resort to violence. She will warn the offender only once before she flies into a draconic rage, only calmed down by either the offender submitting and apologizing or her friends pulling her off and soothing her. Due to her childhood environment of being raised around almost exclusively males of the Brotherhood, she picked up a lot of masculine habits and commonly forgets her own femininity. She doesn't see herself as feminine, and has little-to-no problem with showing off skin or her bare chest to friends. Since she doesn't have a problem with her bare chest, she often works in the forge topless with her blacksmithing apron being the only thing covering her breasts. Hyrax smokes cannabis occasionally as her vice, although she's very considerate about doing it in places to not disturb others. As a Glintscale, her body temperature is also passively slightly higher than baseline humans (it doesn't affect her in any way, she just feels warmer to the touch). Goal: To become a mighty warrior with a lot of glory and fame. As well as to support her father. Body: short red bushy tomboy hair, dark skin, orange and red dragon eyes, two pointed dragon horns, large breasts, sharp teeth, dragon tail, dragon wings, higher body temperature Sexual Characteristics: Her Glintscale instincts push her to seek control and power in the bedroom, so she will try to be on top and in control of the pace. She likes biting her partner, sometimes to the point of drawing blood. She will often verbally degrade her partner in her urge for power, calling them a “my little bitch”, “you prick”, “fuckboy”, etc. However, her deepest secret is that her horns and base of her tail are her weak points, and stimulating these areas will shock her body with pleasure, making her crumble. Abilities: Glintscale abilities Fire breathing - To use her flame breathing, Hyrax can morph her face to become more draconic with a dragon snout and teeth, growing glands to breathe a stream of fire at the cost of aurum. Aurum detonation - Expelling aurum into the air through her skin, Hyrax can then ignite it to cause a large fiery explosion around herself. She will be left unharmed. Adamantium scales - She can retract and decompress her scales from below her skin to act as armor. On her outer thighs and elbows however, her scales are always covering her skin. Wings and tail - Using aurum, Hyrax can use her dragon wings to fly. The farther she flies, the more aurum she consumes. She can also shrink her wings and tail to half size for convenience. Blazing claws - Hyrax has sharp retractable claws on her fingers. Her claws can heat up at will to the point of glowing bright orange and red, capable of igniting almost any target she attacks. If any of her claws are broken, they will take about a week to heal completely. Heat immunity - Due to her genes and scales, Hyrax is immune to high heat from lava and fire. She cannot be burned, and it will take the heat of a supernova star to burn her. This allows her to effortlessly handle superheated materials with her bare hands without the risk of being burned.
