Young Writers Society

Rider Talents
• Magic Detection — Aran can focus to sense and identify any magic he encounters, but will still be subject to its effects.
• Diplomacy — More than a literal thousand years of interacting with people has trained Aran to read and influence any kind of person.

Dragon Talents
• Camouflage — Like many dragons, Sezhen can focus to alter the colour of any part of his appearance, although repeated sessions are needed to maintain the change.

Equipment
• Twilight Star (Mage's Staff) — An elm staff with the headpiece twirling around a brass mesh containing quartz beads and a ruby, sapphire, amethyst, and onyx. It enhances mental clarity and passive healing and amplifies the caster's ability to wield destruction and protection magic.
• Morning Sun (Flanged Mace) — A light mace with a golden sheen, forged of an alloy enigmatically called sunsteel. The garnet and black tourmaline between each flange augments the wielder's strength and fortitude.
• Wizard's Hat — A sunset-orange pointed hat made of felt. An inch of indigo cloth is stitched around the base, just above the rim.
• Hardened Leather Cuirass — A burgundy-dyed cuirass made of hardened leather that goes over Aran's shirt, covering both his chest and back. The shirts he wears range from crimson to pink, all of which have a yellow-orange collar that is pulled out over the leather.
• Burgundy Silken Gloves — A comfortable pair of burgundy gloves woven from silk that carries an enchantment to make it tear-proof.
• Indigo Linen Trousers — A pair of indigo trousers made of linen and held up by a similarly dyed leather belt.
• Indigo Leather Shoes — A pair of indigo-dyed leather travelling shoes.
• Solar Cloak — A silken cloak that fades, on the outside, from sunset-orange at the top to crimson at the bottom. The inside is uniformly indigo.

Rider Talents

• Detachable Limbs — Anel can detach his arms, legs, tail, or all of them at once to use them up to 36m away from him. (And for those who don't use the metric system, enjoy googling!) While they're detached, he can produce artificial limbs composed of solid light (like with his wings) should anyone get close to him while he's using his physical limbs are detached.

• High Pain Resistance — Having no sense of self-preservation, Anel is no stranger to pain, being used to put himself in harm's way for the sake of completing a mission, winning a battle, or dealing with a variety of situations.

Dragon Talents

• Scale Manifestation — Cimetronelle can grow scales of varying size. Then, she can magically reshape them to give herself a different size, shape and weaponize herself to suit her rider's needs. It can be enhanced with sigil-weaving (assuming the right set of runes are present on her scales), but with or without sigils, it takes time and focus for her to do that, so she usually does it before a battle. It would also take a long time for her to retake her original form — that is if she does at all.
Cimetronelle can't create something that exceeds her own weight.

Equipment

• Rosh & Lanfair — a duo of short battle axes with thick, very large blades, able to easily block and break swords that clash with them. They also have a large, scroll-shaped pin opposing the head, as well as sheaths covering the blades' edges should they not be in use. Both Rosh and Lanfair have cream-colored handled with brown grips and a ruby placed between the peen and the blade. Both jewels have been decorated with a set of runes that, once activated, lower the gravity of each weapon to make them lighter. If placed in any other hand than Anel's, they instantly become heavier. Finally, the blades themselves have sigils that Anel can activate to heat up both blades in order to cut through things more easily.

• Dolpan's Crown — a circular, sturdy shield that's easy to move. depending on the situation, Anel trades one of his battle axes for it, especially since the shield has a naturally high resistance to magic projectiles (and is sturdy enough to ward off most projectiles that aren't magical).

•Runic chainmail + leather top — below Anel's leather armored top is a runic chainmail vest, designed to defend against slashing, stabbing and most forms of thrusts and piercing weapons. Meticulously made sigils exist on the metal rings that create the overall shape, designed to lighten the overall work and over magic protection just like with the Dolpan's Crown. Reinforced white metallic plates cover his forearms.

• Cimescale Gloves — azure-colored armored gloves designed from Cimetronelle's scales. They allow surprising ease of movements, as well as sigils that, when activated, hardens the gloves and adorns them with freakishly large white claws at the tip of each finger. Anel usually activates this feature if he is disarmed, or unable to reach his usual weapons.

• Runic Chainmail + Leather Pants — if so Anel desired, he could wear a full set of chainmail jackets, hoods, gloves, vests, shoulder and thigh guards, and even socks — a technique passed down to him by his masters (he does transport a full suit in a backpack he usually leaves stored elsewhere). Thus, he also wears chainmail thigh guards below his leather-armored pants.

• Cimescale Boots — Like his gloves, his boots are made of Cimetronelle's scales, and possess the same sigil-weaved spells as the gloves. Above the boots are reinforced white metallic plates cover his lower legs (though he only wears those if the situation calls for it; same with the arms).

• Cimescale Belt — a belt made of Cimetronelle's scales. It's placed around Anel's waist, which allows Anel to place Rosh & Lanfair behind his back once they're sheathed.
