Kagetera Foaloke

## Description

Kagetera is a Shadowy Black dragon with Vampiric red eyes that is as equally as comfortable on two legs as four. Tiny for a four-legged dragon, he is still tall for a biped at 7’ tall. His base design is also an odd mix of classical western and eastern philosophies as he has the typical ventral scales but is otherwise covered in fur. His tail is also as long as the rest of his body but he has classic western dragon wings.

## Biography

Teraunce and Kagetera were hatched on a low-tech world in a low-magic dimension to a clan of dragons that had devoted their lives to mostly vanishing from the world and suppressing any want to hoard. Occasionally they would send someone out, usually from his family line, disguised as a human using his family’s heirloom artifact ring’s powers. They were sent out to serve as a scout and to help the side of good if possible.

Teraunce grew up learning how to use the sword and bow for when it was his own time to fight for the side of good. He also learned how to suppress his hoarding instincts during this time. Overall it was a fairly happy childhood for him even if he learned about the great villians and heroes of the past.

Meanwhile, all that shoving of half his heritage and negative emotions into a metaphorical cage led to him creating his own hidden tulpa with half his soul shoved in there for good measure.

Soon enough however, adulthood approached and he was sent out on his first mission. During this he learned of a hero of the light hathering a small army to take out a gang of orcs that had taken over a town.

Wanting to keep up the family tradition he joined it in disguise and was assigned as a scout. An amusing bit of irony but his skills were well-suited to it.

During one such scouting trip along the march he managed to find a weak cave ceiling and fell through it. He managed to quickly shapeshift and land safely but the entrance he made was covered up by rubble/branches.

With no other choice he went through the caves and found a temple/tomb dedicated to a very ancient, very evil villian from the past.

Unfortunately during this trip through long forgotten halls he triggered a magical trap. Fortunately it malfunctioned from neglect but unluckily it sent him sailing through the planes with a curse causing him to randomly planeswalk.

He popped out into a different America, specifically out of a Stargate-expy into an air force base in Cheyenne Mountain. It was different because in the mid-90’s the curtain fell and magical creatures revealed themselves with most integrating successfully.

Still, his first act as he exited a portal to an unknown destination was to shift back to human form. Years of training don’t go away that quickly.

Even with that deception the commander of the base decided the best decision was to place him on a team with a kitsune and a ghost. He did eventually reveal his true form to them and learned how to use guns and modern tech.

This dimension also had a higher magic concentration which activated a few magical abilities he previously didn’t know he had. Namely, the ability to summon elemental balls at the cost of his own stamina. A few weird adventures also taught him he can shapeshift into anything he has been turned into before but on his own can only half-shapeshift into another species.

Of course, his curse wouldn’t let him rest in one place and he ended up in several other interesting places like a demon’s castle or an inn in a lost forest where many travelers and tech levels clashed. Dealing with psychics also taught him how to resist them and even manifest low-level telempathic abilities.

During these adventures he was also forced to draw deeper and deeper on his magic until the part suppressing Kagetera collapsed. Teraunce, exhausted by the fight, couldn’t stop Kagetera from taking over.

Kagetera would have gone a roaring hoarding rampage but, well, their body started to fail from having two competing influences. The mental wall that could have fixed this had also been ruined by Kagetera’s escape. Luckily amongst Teraunce’s friends was an Agent of Selune who prayed to her god for help.

Thankfully she interceded saving them and in gratitude they both converted. Kagetera also never ended up going on said rampage, too weakened to do so. By the time they recovered the two had come to an understanding although in new areas Teraunce serves as the face initially because of Kagetera’s elemental affinity and appearance.

How and where his curse will deposit him this time is anyone’s guess.

## Powers

* Fire Breath. Too much alcohol leads to flaming breath. Also leads to resistance to normal fire.
* Amphibious. Despite his breath weapon he has hidden gills. The process of switching between breathing air and water leaves him incapacitated for a minute or two.
* Half-shapeshifter: learned from his ring until it became innate. If someone turns him into something he can repeat it. Otherwise he can only become a draconic hybrid of what he is trying to become known:
	+ “True” Form
	+ Anthro Cryopheonix
	+ Anthro Snake
	+ Anthro Wolf
* Limited Telepathy. He can sense nearby emotions but not thoughts. He can forge a telepathic link with someone(s) nearby but they instantly know and the further away they are the more draining it is.
