Name: Serpent Scale
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Unicorn, Half-Dragon
Note on the Race: People expressed concerns about her being "exactly" Half-Dragon. Well, she's not. But I don't really want to count percentages. She's more Pony, than a Dragon. A Unicorn with broken magic and physique that took just some characteristics of a Dragon. A "Magical Chimera", so to say. Not born this way, but magically infused characteristics of two creatures. Also, she refers to herself as "Quilin". That's the name of the legendary pony-dragon hybrid she once saw in a book.

[spoiler]

Age: 20 (ex-27)
Magic Color: Red
Occupation: Adventurer, Treasure Hunter, Hireling
Home: A lone farm in Radiant Empire's wilderness
Appearance: She's covered with green scales, her belly is covered with yellow-ish scales. Her eyes are bright green, kinda yellow-ish too. Pupils are normal, although when startled, scared or angry, her pupils become dragon-like, slit. Her mane is green at core and gets brighter to hair's ends. Her hooves are yellow-ish. Her tail got longer, dragon-like. Spikes are located along Scale's spine, as well as four spikes\horns on her head, two in front of each ear. Her Unicorn horn is located between her Dragon horns. Her fangs are visible, but not too long. Her wings are of the average size.
Relationships:

Spoiler: show

-Fresh Harvest - Scale's stepfather who is the workforce of the farm. He's a big and powerful pony who alone does most chores at the farm. He caught attention of a noble unicorn on his trip to Dawnshine, when some restaurant ordered lots of his vegetables and fruits, for he was selling it cheap. Being bad at business, he usually gained enough money from sole amounts of what he sold. That was destined to change.

-Radiant Strawberry - Scale's stepmother. She is a Unicorn who hails from Dawnshine, but she traded that life to marry a farmer earth pony who visited Dawnshine on one occasion. It was a love at first sight and she followed it with no hesitation. Not even once she regretted that choice. She mostly deals with farm business, striking deals in Dawnshine. Thanks to her efforts, their family was able to leave bigger town and build a secluded farmhold for Scale to grow up in peace.

-Sunstoke - Scale's unicorn stepbrother and a Royal Guard. While not a high ranking Guard, Scale's recent adventures with Sunstroke at her side made him a bit special in eyes of his superiors. He might get a promotion soon.
[spoiler]

-Spider Lily - a pegasus supermodel from Skytopia and Sunstroke's girlfriend. She is very influencial and incredibly popular in both Radiant Empire and Skytopia. She has few simple cybernetic upgrades - Lense Implants and Hairstyling Nanites Implant. First can cover her eyes with sunglasses or magnifying lenses. Second one can change her hairstyle in seconds and makes sure hair look gorgeous even when weather is bad.

Spoiler: show

-Sin the Earthbound - a Soulbinder Unicorn that sometimes gets in the way of Scale's Treasure Hunting. He's an adopted child and the heir to old Grim Duchess. After she passed away, he became the owner of the Grim Castle and the mountain it is built on. In that desolated place, nobody can get in the way of his experiments.

-Night Sky - an Tribal Earth Pony who travels the world and does some odd jobs to make his bits bag a bit heavier. He uses runes, potions and weird devices to do magic, something not common to Three Empires.

-Ebon Scar - a Quilin form created by Black Crystal Heart. This Crystal Artifact was once made to mirror other ponies, creating perfect, obedient copies. One of Ancient Cult's branches wanted to use this artifact to their ends, but it would not work properly. This artifact was more then thay anticipated. It could not create perfect copies, having only black\gold palettes, as well as being unable to shapeshift again without manual reset of form. Artifact was left as failure, until it was found. After Scale's mistake, the Artifact got a powerful physical form of black scaled Quilin with golden mane and eyes. With mind clouded by countless ponies of Limbo, wispering in her head, and especially Scale's memories, fresh in Artifact's memory, she had to let her vengence into the world. Scale defeated her, but the spell did not shatter. Instead, her mind unshakled and fragments of memories of many ponies vanished from her head, leaving just two, a weak, quiet one and her own, which formed an individuality. She took a name - Ebon Scar - and set off to find her purpose to be in this world.

Cutiemark: Three Dragon Scales

Spoiler: show

Hobbies: Reading Swiftwing the Adventuress books; Helping her parents with farm chores; Flying and enjoying scenery. Adventures are more than hobby to her.
Character: She is a quick thinker and loves reading. While she easily gets exited or angered, she never lets her emotions take over. She can hold that all long enough to respond adequately. She's cheerful and kind, but tends to be a bit more silent with strangers. In her younger years though, she was a bit too active and rarely though about consequences of her words or actions, which lead to a number of unpleasant situations.

Abilities: Due to her unusual Origin, she's flawed both as a Unicorn and a Dragon. She can use powerful Fire Magic, but that's the only magic she can use. Even the basic "Levitation" ends up in embers. And she also can't breathe fire. Only cough up a few flame sparks. Her scales make her fireproof. Dragon wings allow her to fly. She's stronger than an Earth Pony, being Half-Dragon and all, but can just barely challenge a young Dragon in strength. Her flying skills can compete with those of the fastest Pegasi. But I don't think she can challenge Thunderwings, she's a bit too heavy to reach that speed.

Notes on Abilities: These abilities are not just "out of nowhere". Being a newborn Half-Dragon, she knew nothing and her body was weak. She grew on the farm. Helping her parents with everyday chores helped her get much stronger, being Half-Dragon just moved her strength limits a bit further as she grew up. As for magic, her stepbrother, a Royal Guard unicorn, tried teching her magic. But the only magic she could cast was Fire magic. Light spell, Fireball spell, etc. She practiced with her brother whenever he was coming to visit and eventually was able to create her own variations of Fire spells. Still, their power wasn't greater than that of your average unicorn mage's. Exept for Royal Spark, which was basically total release of enourmous amounts of magic, that was then ignited, causing concentrated sphere of fire with incretible temperature. Serpent Scale can withstand that heat thanks to her fireproof scales. Also, she have trouble at accelerating or decelerating when flying due to her weight. Capable of gaining great speed and agility thanks to her strength, accelerating takes more time than it would take for a Peagasus. As for decelerating, she just slows a bit before actually just landing at a rather great speed, leaving mark on earth. It's easier for her to manuver at top speed due to her aerodynamics, scales and all.


Short Description:
"Found as a baby in a crystal cave, she has no knowledge of her origin. Who were her real parents? Why was she all alone in that cave? She will find answers for those questions...one day...maybe.
Her stepparents are farmers and her stepbrother is a Royal Guard in Radiant Empire's capital - Dawnshine. Scale is a longtime fan of Swiftwing the Adventuress. She always dreamed of going on an adventure. To fight mighty foes and find riches unimaginable. But her first adventure was not what she imagined it to be. Her stepbrother's life as a Royal Guard was at stake, and she would soon meet the enigmatic resident of the Grim Castle - Sin the Earthbound, a Soulbinder."

Origin:
"Great continent of Gurenseh. In that land lived a unicorn named Scales. She was a Dragon researcher. Ponies knew precious little about those mighty creatures and she dedicated her life to finding as much about them as possible. Her cutiemark, Three Dragon Scales, became symbol of her dedication.
Scales found a book, written by an Ancient Cult which mentioned something about an Artifact, connected to Dragons. She was dedicated to find it. She searched for months, but haven't found anything. But eventually, she managed to find a Crystal Cave where Artifact was hidden. Scales entered the cave, and there she found an Artifact. It was...a Crystal Dragon Egg! That's what she hastely assumed. Her roughly translated ancient text, appearance of the Artifact and outbursting exitement lead to her greatest mistake in her life. She cast a "Hatch" spell on the "Egg". But instead, the Artifact, which actually was a Crystal Databank on Dragon Physiology, exploded. The spell bounced back at Scales. It hit her and in a few seconds she was turned into a Dragon Egg. Inside this egg, she stayed in some kind of magical stasis. Even after her physique was altered, egg protected her from dangers of the world. And one day, a couple found its way into the cave. Sensing their good nature, the egg finally hatched...and so began the story of Serpent Scale."
