Description
Name: Saphire GemsoulAlias/Nickname: Saph
Age: 26 human years
Gender: Female
In this form, Saph is a formidable opponent and overall terrifying beast, to say in the least. Standing at 15'-tall and 55'5''-from nose to tail-tip, with a wingspan of 95'4'', she is truly massive. As if her size weren't enough, her scales, stinger, claws, and horns are made of a naturally-produced titanium/steel mixture, and her bones, though hollow, are lined with the same material. Despite this, she is relatively lightweight (about four to five tons). Her body is muscular and she is quadrupedally-oriented (meaning she walks about on all fours). Basically, she walks around like a giant bat.
Her snout is rather short and resembles that of a Tyrannosaur. Her jaws have a bite force that can crush steel into unrecognizable heaps of scrap metal. If this doesn't scare knights, she also has another trick up her sleeve: her body naturally produces highly corrosive, highly flammable venom that is often used to start fires or soften her prey as to avoid her breaking her teeth. Her scales and specialized glands in the back of her throat produce this venom constantly, so she is constantly ready to defend herself should she need to against stronger hunters. Her mane, which is located on the back of her head and neck, has quills that produce this same kind of venom. Her stinger is the main way that she administers venom.
On the topic of her venom, she has the ability to coat her scales in venom and ignite the flammable liquid by rapidly scraping or clashing her scales together to create sparks. Once ignited, the venom causes the flames to rapidly spread across her body, which in-turn creates a high-temperature cloak of flames that deters attackers from using physical attacks on her and often turns the edges of her scales bright red, then silver once it goes out (they return to their natural blue color after a little while). The more venom produced, the hotter the flame. If she produces a massive amount of venom all at once, it creates an explosion which--depending on the concentration of venom--can be powerful and reach a wide range, or weak and only send the flames out about five feet around her body in all directions. This attack can be devastating if you are too close, unable to block or dodge, or have a weakness against flames. As well as these abilities, Saph can produce a vapor that consists of her venom. If Ignited when in the air, the vapor can either cause an explosion or be set ablaze. Breathing this corrosive gas means corroding your lungs into mush within your chest cavity. At this point, there is no hope for survival.
Saph's senses are better than one would expect from a dragon. She can hear and smell things up to 2 miles away, and her sight rivals that of an eagle or falcon.
In this form, she rarely trusts any sentient being enough to let them come within 10 feet of her. Only under certain circumstances will such a thing as approaching her happen without the targeted person being viciously attacked. She is relentless and won't stop until she is tired out. Usually then is when she will attempt to finish off an attacker or opponent so she can eat to satisfy her hunger and carry on with her day. Despite all of this, she is curious and will quickly take a liking to anybody who feeds her or proves to be friendly toward her.
Her nest resides deep within the center of a city in her (original) story, hidden underground in the basement of an abandoned building, which is conjoined with the sewer system that runs under the town. There are no eggs there yet, as she currently has no mate due to her horrible temper and lack of patience with most who even so much as glance in her direction. She is often seen dragging hapless prey into her lair, where they are then devoured. Any hunters that dared to try and kill her had the tables quickly turned and instead became piles of bones on the floor of her home.
When flying, she can reach speeds of 75-90mph. As well as this, she can fly silently due to the increased surface area caused by her wing membranes. Her massive wings also enable her to fly long distances over long periods of time. When on the ground, Saph can reach speeds up to 65-70mph. This is due to her streamlined body shape and the muscles in her wings(arms) and legs.
Saph is a queen wyvern (when in her egg and growing up, she was fed differently from the other wyverns due to the color of her scales. Only sapphire-blue wyverns are can be queens, and sapphire-blue wyverns are EXTREMELY rare.). This fact is not known to many. With a mate to fertilize her eggs, she can produce about 300 eggs in a week or two. She is one of only two in the world, and is almost always in her nest. She, like queen ants or bees, is to provide a colony of thousands of wyverns with life. Despite the usually straining activity of laying so many eggs, queen wyverns can live for hundreds of years.
Saph is blind in her left eye; a massive scar can be seen around it. It was caused by an attack in which she was stabbed in her eye with a massive sword. It has mostly healed, but she can no longer see out of it. Her right eye has no scar, and the pupil contracts into a thin slit when she is enraged or in bright light.
She has four toes on each foot. Three are on the ground on each foot.
(I'll have a reference of her wings and scales up hopefully soon.)
