Claira’s Prophecy

One of darkness and light will come when the lands are torn and there is nothing left of us. 

One alone will defy the very laws we forged with her power and be the foretelling of our return.

One to unite all. 

To claim all.

To destroy all.

A fate inked in blood, sealed by thread, fulfilled in grief.

Don’t let her come.

She must come, or all is lost.

This is a concept for a very important story arc of Claira’s. It takes when she’s 17 years old, shortly after the defeat of her father Onyx and when a certain ghost of her past slowly closes in to….pay back what she owed to Claira let’s just say that

Claira Full Reference Page (WIP, Aventurine’s ref sheet coming soon hopefully)

Birthright name: Sapphire; other name obtained by a human who had shown her compassion in the past.

Species: Ikrystalu (WereDragon)

Biological parents: Little is known about them, as the humans of her home dimension wiped out their records due to an act of “treason”. Claira also contributes in their mystery by rarely mentioning them herself, if at all.

Home dimension: sector 17, universe 123, planet Earth. No known outer universe outside of the Milky Way.

Class: Element Wielder (class for “normal” WereCreatures is Non Magic)

Role: Multiverse guardian

Rank: Heroin (for this term, Ikrystalu’s version of common [English] translates this to “war soldier”)

Appearance: pale blue fur, cyan colored stripes, gold and dark blue scales that have a glossy shine when sunlight touches them (a physical trait all Ikrystalus have), though this shine is much duller than the average. Gray blue irises with a faded yellow ring around each pupil; sclera and third eyelids are dark blue in color, revealing the color of her blood. Dark magenta feathers tipped with a pale lavender and gold (This represents her sex, as females have darker plumage than males. It is unusual for her to have lighter markings though), purple colored markings on the undersides of her hands/feet (the markings on her hands secrete elemental magic). Long, narrow spines that run for her head to the end of her tail (these represent her sex as well; males have blunter spines whereas females have sharper ones), tail is tipped with feathers and fins that are responsible for her ability to fly, matching fins on the opposite end of her tail just below her wings.

Anatomy: organs are similar to a humans in most ways, skeletal structure is a ways different though. Rib cage bends at the center, resembling a draconic build and better aids in balance when she is down on all fours. The joints of her legs and arms can also move positions to better aid the all fours position. Thick veins in her tail to better circulate blood flow, vein-like organs running throughout her whole body like nerves secrete and emit elemental magic typically as needed and on command. (It is worth noting that ‘typically’ would be a preferred case)

Physical disorders: P.O.T.S. (Blood circulation disorder), slight physical weakness (full body), convergence insufficiency (impaired vision in other words, but is able to work around this in time), chronic pain (full body, including migraines), phantom pain (specifically in tail)

Mental disorders: ADHD, autism, synesthesia (able to ‘see’ color when she hears music) PTSD (panic attacks, aggressive behavior, numbness to emotions, etc), scopophobia, trypanophobia

~Claira’s Poem~

The world shut out from me

Living a life of pain

Hated and tortured for being what I was

Not knowing I was destined for more

Now I am here

Freed by someone like me

Even after everything I still don’t know what I am

Some refer to me as a monster 

Others as ‘our only hope’ 

Good and evil

Light and darkness 

Order and destruction 

Life and death

I am the balance

I see a million faces 

Whether by day or by night

Visions or memories I am not always certain

Hiding in the shadows, far from other’s view I watch

Fearing that my discovery will be the end of them all

Fearing what I could become

All while not really knowing my full potential 

The power within me could bring pain I do not wish to bear

Tormented by my own past

I strive on to do what is right

Even now I still don’t know what I am

Some refer to me as a monster

Others as ‘our only hope’

Good and evil

Light and darkness 

Order and destruction 

Life and death

I am the balance

Very few have been able to understand what I go through daily

Most say ‘the world doesn’t rest on your shoulders’ but they don’t know the responsibility I must tend to

I see evil all around me no matter where I go

My own will slipping from me

Knowing I can’t save them all

Repentance is the only thing that can save them now

How long can you keep this up?

How far are you willing to go?

You can’t protect them all

Why bother trying, when you could just rule it all?

You and I are one in the same, both destined for disaster

Just come with me and you will see

All of the thrilling bloodshed we could bring on these worlds together 

Some refer to me as a monster

Others as ‘our only hope’

I’ve been told a lot of things, and even to this day I still sometimes wonder why I was given this purpose

But one things for certain

I know what I am now

Good and evil

Light and darkness 

Order and destruction 

Life and death

I am the balance

Multiverse Traveler’s Duties

(Changed in modern times)

Protecting core worlds from destruction/massive change for the worst

Removing and relocating entities or objects that do not belong in a certain dimension 

Forming alliances with every dimension’s strongest fighters (optional. befriending is not prohibited, but strongly advised against)

Preventing catastrophic anomalies and punishing those who cause them intentionally

Enchanted forests

If an Element Wielder stays in one area for too long, the magic they emit from their bodies purifies the environment and causes plants to grow at a faster rate, causing everything within 25 mile radius or more regardless of its previous condition to be reborn into a lush landscape with highly magical properties. 

These landscapes are typically wooded, hence the name, but unlike normal forests, the shade the trees offer doesn’t stop enormous, bright colored flowers from blooming, and the conditions in these forests are so rich in life that even crystals can sprout from the ground. As for life, fairies and other creatures similar to them typically live in places like this, but Element Wielders are not responsible for creating them.

These forests can be found in any dimension, and all forests differ from one another in some ways at least. Some change during seasons while others look the same regardless of what the temperature is. In some, even the temperature inside the forest stays the same year round.

One of the most peculiar traits to these forests however, is what is reborn in the forest if the Element Wielder who had created dies inside its forest walls. When the Element Wielder dies, their body becomes a giant tree with bark that resembles the colors of their Order and Magic Elements, the Earth Element always being the leaves. But the most interesting part to this is that after the Element Wielder’s passing, from the enchanted forest they created emerges elemental spirits, who typically serve as the forest’s guardians in place of the Element Wielder. No one knows why this occurs, but this is a very rare scenario. Very few elemental spirits have been seen in the dimensions of earth.

Ikrystalu characteristics

Vocal abilities An Ikrystalu’s native language mostly consists of humming and clicks. They have a very wide vocal range and can mimic just about any sound, though premies have a harder time with this ability. 

While this very shy and illusive species prefers to be quieter due to their sharp hearing, their roars can be heard from miles on end.

Physical appearance/characteristics 

These dragons are on the larger side compared to other WereCreature species. They are noted for being sleek and muscular, with sharp scales that start with top of their head all the way down to near the tip of the tail. 

These scales only cover the top of their heads and their spines, the rest of their bodies are covered in thick yet short fur. Stripes change color depending on mood. Ikrystalus are almost always born with a variety of highly saturated colors. Unlike most WereCreatures, Ikrystalus are so in tune to their own emotions that any drastic change to their belief system or emotional status with cause them to change into completely different colors than what they were born with.  This ability is more of a curse than a blessing however, since an entire color palette change like this normally results from an intense amount of emotional or physical trauma, or even both at once. It causes long term weakness in magic abilities for Element Wielders, faster aging, and the ability to change the colors of their stripes for a Ikrystalu who underwent this change will no longer be possible. The new color change will be a bit duller than the previous palette, and not as many colors.

Feathers are found on and around their heads, lining their wings and smaller dorsal fins, and at the tips of their tails. These feathers often distinguish what gender and abilities the dragon has, especially if they are an Element Wielder.

Wings are very large and powerful, capable of long distance travels but weaker in constant hovering. They are one of the fastest fliers of all WereDragon breeds.

these dragons are one of the few that are omnivorous; they eat meat, fruit and certain vegetables and grasses.

Magic Abilities

This species has 4 natural abilities that every member is born with: fire breathing, adaptation to nearly any circumstance, powerful hearing and flight. 

Unlike most species of WereCreature, Element Benders were fairly common in this race. They had a good amount of Psychic and Dark Wielders as well, and were also the first to travel the multiverses of Earth.

Ikrystalu Body language (more to come)

Touching foreheads: common greeting. Translates to “nice to meet you” or “nice to see you again”.

Nuzzling, purring: affectionate greeting. Typically exchanged by close friends or romantic partners. Translates to “I love/trust you”.

tails entwined/nudging wings: affectionate gesture. Exchanged by close friends/partners. Is also used as a way to support another if one is undergoing intense stress.

Ears perked: alert, curious. Open to new opportunities. 

Ears pinned, snarling: angry, agitated. Ready to attack/defend. Won’t normally listen to reason. 

Tail thumping against a surface: happens when they are irritated. Translates to “don’t come near. Final warning.”

Tail flicking back and forth: varies. Because this is an involuntary movement, this doesn’t always mean something. Usually, one can tell by facial expressions or how fast the tail is moving to translate how the WereDragon is feeling. Usually translates to irritation or wariness.

Head bowed/avoiding eye contact: this gesture is displaying a lot of respect for a person. Translates to “deeming worthy of honor”. Is often used for someone who is very powerful, whether magically or politically.

All fours, tail flicking back and fourth, ears perked, wings folded against body: alert position. All senses on high alert and very wary/untrusting of their environment. Frequent head and ear movements, wings folded to lessen drag if they need to run.
