Jump 209: Legends of Spyro

Jump 209: Legends of Spyro
>The Star, reversed: Desperation leading to blind faith in false solutions.
>Age: 22
>Location: Abandoned Temple
>Identity: Drop-In
>Drawbacks: Gritty Realism (+200), Spyro's Kingdom (+300), The Call (Mandatory), Malicious Curiosity (Mandatory), Malicious Interest (Mandatory), Malicious Obsession (+300)
So not only is Spyro's kingdom going to get invaded, but I'm going to have the finger pointed at me by the Chronicler while my companions and I take the brunt of the attacks... and Malefor looks at me crosseyed because I went full Aether and wants to corrupt me. (Surprise, that won't stick very well, buddy.)
Faaantastic.
>Species: Dragon
>Unnatural Size (x2)
Well, I already had a dragon form that was a mile and a half long. Now I have another that's 1500 feet tall and easily ten times as long as the old form. Assuming I don't try to make it bigger by way of using Anton's Key and Delphiki’s Organelles.
>Colossal Grace
Hey, when you're going to end up being THAT large, this is crucial.
>True Elemental Affinity
I'm not so concerned about radiating my tertiary element as I am my primary and secondary... though I imagine if it expresses, it would have its uses.
>Bloody Magical
Huh. Now I can use my scales to make wands. Promising.
>Magical Sustenance
Considering how magical I am, does this basically make me self-sufficient? Wait, I already have perks for that. Oh well, no harm in it; I'm gonna nom the magic.
>Medical Knowledge (Free, Drop-In)
>Crystal Rewiring (Free, Drop-In)
>A Matter of Perspective (1500)
>Elementalism (x3) (1200)
One free, one for 100, one for 200.
>First Element: Light Aether
>Second Element: Dark Aether
Creation. Destruction. They go hand in hand. The trick, of course, is to balance the two of them.
>Third Element: Fear
"Shin Cross of the planet Earth, you have the ability to instill great fear-" "Hey now, you're ahead of schedule. Back to DC with you."
>Unbreakable Will (Free, Dragon)
WAY STATUS: [_] LOST [_] NOT LOST [X] NANI SORE
>Elemental Training (Free, Dragon
I'd be insane if I didn't take this as a freebie. Having SOME idea of how to utilize aether is much preferable to having none at all.
>Elemental Synergy (900, Drop-In)
Being able to work with my elements so I can figure them out
>Supernatural Senses (800)
Being able to sense magic, indeed even different types of magic, sound to be very important things.
>Aether Cannon (Free, Drop-In)
Aw, I was hoping for a bass cannon. I'll have to tweak this to see if it can wub while it fires, for amusement's sake.
>Medical Kit (Free, Drop-In)
Well, this will no doubt prove handy?
>Holographic Map (750, Drop-In)
A map of the area within 1000km of where I'm at? Heck yes I'll take it.
>Magitech Tool Kit (700, Drop-In)
Honestly? Having a repair kit on hand for magitech repairs is super handy.
>Green Chains (Free, Drop-In)
Not sure that I'll make use of this now, but... never know.
>Pool of Visions (400, Drop-In)
This is worth making my stay more difficult. I'll certainly be putting it to use in the future.
>Companion Import+ (0)
I've got both kinds of aether... and I ensured that all my companions do as well, though they'll each have a different element than fear. Though since they tend to have less shapeshifting abilities than I do, I'd be well served to ensure their dragon forms are slightly more sane sizes than mine.

So it's a more realistic setting where Spyro and Cinder are in charge - for certain values of realism, anyway - and after a year, Malefor is going to invade. With an honest-to-god army.

Hm. Yeah, I can still work with this. After all, I and all of my companions have both light and dark aether at our command. Sure, this means that Malefor's army has us down as a top priority, short of taking control of the kingdom itself, but we can use that to our advantage... engineer situations to get their soldiers in places that benefit us, test their tactics, and gain an understanding of how they work.

Really, the most challenging part of this is adapting my technology to work with the dragon alt-form that I've gained. Other than that... this is a very interesting challenge, one I've not faced, but to be completely honest the odds aren't insurmountable.

Not since I've learned that I can rely on my companions.

Still, going to invest heavily in the robot army to try and keep the body count down. I'm not a fan of huge wars with massive casualties.
