Hey Nakiri,
       
        So even though i know you're never going to open this, I needed to get this off my chest for my own sake. I can't believe I'm actually doing this myself either.

I want to apologize for my initial actions in the chat. It was rude of me and just not who I am. I won't care if you call me a bumbling idiot in chat. I won't care when you and the others just shit on me like the piece of trash that I am. I just won't. Because at the end of the day I know there's a decent being inside of you and everyone of our fellow Pilots. It may be hard to pull out, may even have to forcibly drag it out, but it's there and I fucking know it.

I may be an idiot when it comes to people. I'm gullible, I try to impress everyone with stupid crap that no one cares about, I'm an attention whore who needs the spotlight 24/7, I used to lie in order to make myself look better. I may be all of those things, and many more, but at the end of the day I care about everyone. And as much as I don't believe myself for saying this, that includes you.

You are a handsome, vibrant, and dare I say sexy person to have around and I hope we keep it that way.

If you've made it to this point of the message I'd be shocked. Whether you decide to respond to this or not is up to you, I don't mind either way.


Sincerely-
        Xalk

≈Appearance≈
Starscales
Riker-Ryn boasts a matting of scales across his body. Navy-blue scales line the outer portions of his arms, legs, and the top part of his tail. While also having a main presence on his back up until his wing (which is a direct result of melanism). Whereas a lighter grey blue sits on the inside clearly defining his chest, stomach, and proceeding to continue unto the inner part of his thigh and the underside of the tail. Occasionally there is a dull gold scale in a recognizable pattern across the navy-blue scales, with a large portion profoundly displayed on his Adam's apple reaching all the way up unto his chin. Afterwards, his face is completely scaless and shares the lighter grey-blue of his body.

Ahh, memories.. painful memories
Riker has a scar in the form of an upside down cross on the right side of his cheek.

Let's go cliff divin! -Oh wait
His wing keeps the same pattern as the rest of his main body, the webbing carrying the grey-blue until reacting the forelimbs in which the navy-blue scalage begins to take over. The wing's limb all converge onto one center joint which has a cracked claw.

Big Pimpin
He has a cane to help him walk, a gold swirl design makes up most of the shaft, with a diamond on top.

*Note: He only has one wing. Ragged, torn up, burnt you name it. The inner webbing is completely useless even before the fact it is impossible to fly without another wing.

Horny MoFo with godlike hair-
Riker's horns are that of any typical male Dragos. More crown like in shape and texture and only two, each starting at the base of his hairline just above his forehead and off towards the edges. his hair is a dark navy blue with a slight purple hue that runs effortlessly down his head and onto his shoulders. Most of the time he keeps it in a ponytail for convenience.

*Note: His hair is softer than a blanket fresh outta the dryer.

Weathered and cracked Ruby ring- Has it on a necklace that he never takes off.

≈History≈
Riker's birth was a surprise for the nest. Taking almost double the time for his egg to hatch, alongside with the decision to cull him was just a day away. The little runt managed to peek out just in the nick of time. Toppling himself over and looking up to his parents, all they could do was marvel at this cute being.

Childhood was a tad short lived for Riker, after his 21st birthday he began to hear other people's thoughts. Confused by this he approached his parents about it and before they could even speak, the biggest grin came across Riker's face as he yelled at the top of his lungs:

"I'm gonna be a Pilot!"

Candidacy was a hard time for Riker, learning how his telepathy worked and getting through each and every stage was intense. 

Stage 1 - 21
Stage 2 - 21
Stage 3 - 24
Stage 4 - 27
Stage 5-  31

Chosen by Riven, a very large dragon with four bone mandibles that cover her face and mouth. When opened, she reveals a total of 10 eyes across a mars red face. Her wings fold onto her body when not in use. Which is 99% of the time because she never does anything and just stays on her rock. Kidding kidding... she does a lot of work for the dragons, and is the best manager that the dragons could ever ask for. Can I go on now? Or am going to get threatened with being eaten again?

Anyways, jumping forward a couple years through remarkable service and a rekindling of bonds with his best friends from candidacy. The group decided to make a squad, they were known for flawless execution of missions nearly 100% of the time. Years passed and the squad was about to go down in history as THE squad to look up to. Then a call for war changed everything.

Edani war-
Their reputation preceded them, and Riker's squad was put on call for a mission to gain better ground and possible tactical advantage. An old abandoned mining shaft came into their sights. Riker motioned for the squad to follow in.

The tunnel looked to have had a direct lead right into the enemy's base. An hour passed as the team trudged deeper and deeper, eventually coming upon what looked to be a large opening that a straight drop of about 30 meters. Riker proceeded forward and tripped a wire that caused what felt like multiple explosions all at once. The tunnel began shaking, rubble dropping from the ceiling.

"The tunnel is collapsing! Move! Move Move!"

The team's effort of escape was in vain. Every squad mate succumbed to a crushing demise, some shorter than others. By the time Riker had seen the entrance only he and one other squad mate had managed to get this far, the one that mattered to him the most. He looked behind him for a split second motioning for her to grab his hand. Although fate hadn't had all of it's fun yet, the moment their fingers touched, she was crushed. Riker came to a full stop, completely forgetting the tunnel was still in collapse. 

"Aylia! No!"

Riker attempted to lift the boulder off of her, but to no avail. Aylia had already realized this. She caressed his face and spoke:

"RikerRyn Perkhimote, I'm glad we had the chance to meet each other, to be with each other ,my blazing light will shine on, but only if he survives."

Aylia managed to pull the weathered ruby ring off her finger and handed it back to Riker. "Take this, not as a something to remember me by, but as something to push you to keep on liv-"

Riker let out a bloodcurdling screech of pain and sorrow.

Another large piece of rubble broke loose from the still collapsing ceiling. Crushing the rest of Aylia and catching one of Riker's wings. Even as the world was caving in all around him, he wanted to keep Aylia's promise alive. He knew he couldn't lift the rubble off his caught wing. Grabbing a knife from his pocket and chomping on some nearby rock, he cut off his wing and fled the tunnel. Making it back to base with the only true memory of his squad right in the palm of his hand. The crystal had a large crack in it.

Post-war Riker picked up the rank of a Royal and became a vintner, ironic since he has a slight allergy towards red wine. He now lives in a penthouse in Margad overseeing his personal vineyard. He lives with his Labradoodle Ellie, who is his only known coping mechanism for when his PTSD hits.     

Cardinal- 31
Echo - 86
Noble- 219
Royal - 407

≈Relationships≈
Aylia- Out of all of his squadmates, this was his best friend and almost lover. Before Aylia, Riker was very particular about who he interacted with, especially in romance. The two graduated together, lived with each other up until her untimely death in the war.

Squaddies- Deceased and mostly forgotten, Riker personally went to each and every family of his deceased squad and apologized for his mis-guidance in leadership, most understood the situation, others took it out on him.

Ellie- Labradoodle and best-friend. Likes to hump legs and lick everyone he meets.

Riven- His dragon that is beyond selfish, rude, and borderline annoying. Riker was the only Pilot to be able to put up with her. She also likes to feast on people's desires by making them come true but with a catch. Is totally not the reason why Riker's entire squad died.


≈Personality≈

Grandpa you use it like this
Partially due to his age, and sticking with what he knows works. Riker tends to not be "caught up" with the young people when it comes to trends, upgrades, etc. 



Insert Nam err- Edani Flashback here
To put it simply he's a "deeply traumatized man suffering from PTSD, who because of the stigma of such things in Aedolis' culture, has not sought genuine treatment." -Nephero. Wartime really messed with Riker, lost one wing, the other was burned and torn, lost his squad, and just an all around horrific experience. Dragos pride themselves in the ability and freedom to fly, losing that ability felt as if he lost apart of himself. 

Devil May Care
"Instead he engaged in different coping mechanisms, up to and including exuding this 'devil may care' attitude in order to keep anyone from poking their nose in too deep about what he considers to be his weakest, most fragile self."-Nephero. Riker likes to put up this front of bravado to others in order to keep them away from him. No one can handle him during one of his trauma trips and no one should need to see him go through it. 

Big ol Carebear
Although his initial front may not seem like he does, he cares deeply for anyone and everyone. He doesn't prey on the weak, and will willingly refuse any and all physical altercations if need be. He admire's people who can put up with him. The last thing he wants to do is lose anyone else. He goes out of his way to do things for people sometimes unknowingly. You'll never know it was him unless he outright tells you. 

He has a memorabilia for each and everyone one of his squad mates he lost during the war. Although he has to keep them locked up for fear of a PTSD attack.


Fun Facts!
~He loves ice cream and pomegranate flavored iced tea and will usually finish half a gallon within two days.
~Has never gotten high nor plans to, but will take up the occasional cigar
~Has a special recipe of white wine just for him and any guests that come over so he can drink with them. *If any guests come over.
~At home he'll typically walk around with sweatpants on, only sweatpants though.
~Likes to fall asleep on the couch a lot

≈Abilities/ Gear≈

PyroKinetic/Mancer- All Dragos have this ability but some are more apparent than others. For Rikeryn, he can summon fire at will and manipulate it into any form needed be. The more condensed the flame is the stronger and hotter it is. Blue flames are very common for Dragos to conjure, however Rikeryn can control white flame, far hotter and denser than blue. Although he cannot make any white flame larger than the palm of his hand. Blue can be as large as his body, red and orange flames can spread over a large field. Manipulating a pre-existing flame puts a far less toll on his body than sustaining a created one.

Telepathy- Riker is a decent telepath, has gotten stronger in comparison over the years. Can read anyone with in about 5 meters or so. 

Mentoring - When Riker picked up Royal, he began mentoring for pyrokinetics. Seeing the youth invigorates him and helps him feel he has more of a purpose.

Flame Vambraces:
They help him control his flames better without using to much stamina to create em. Pre-loaded with fuel and other crud. S'about it

House Ability: None

Current threads:

Xalk couldn't contain his excitement.  The 12 hour ride on the rail seemed to fly by, looking out the window watching the wastelands roll on by. There was some beauty to it, just enough to keep Xalk distracted. I can't wait to meet Raz finally. I wonder what I should start out with... As Xalk became lost in thought he began to show signs of drowsiness. After about 6 hours of excitement running through his veins, his body decided to shut him down before he could.

6 Hours later...

Xalk awoke to see he finally reached the station. He made his first step into Solarta he was awestruck by it's beauty and it's temperature. It was quite warm even for the night. He notified Raz that he had just arrived. Soon after Raz had offered to meet him at Manolins. Xalk was never one for coffee but he didn't mind. With a quick "On my way!" he was off to find Raz.

Entering Manolin's Xalk looked around, for some reason he couldn't find the albino man. Partially due to the fact he had never seen before in the first place.

height: 5'8
weight: 125 lbs
eye color: hazel
hair color: bown
Gender: female
Species: Human
Occupation: R&D for biomedical engineering
Residence: Havina
Ethinicity: Aedolan
Relationship Status: Single

Backstory:
Talika was born into a middle-class family. Although she always had a knack for helping people no matter what. From an early age she was dead set on becoming a doctor. She knew all of her humanoid anatomy by age 12. Just in time for her to be drafted to become a pilot. She was born with both cryo and pyrokinesis and using her telepathy to calm victims down mentally. She learned to use this to her advantage whenever treating wounds and injuries.

The day before she was drafted into Pilot school, she witnessed a massive accident on a nearby road. Without even warning her mother, she leaped out of the moving car attempting to break her fall as much as she could on the road and ran over to help while EMS was still en route. But there was a major problem, she couldn't access her powers, she didn't know why or how they just disappeared but she had no time to worry about that. Thus she made do with her hair pins and sewing needles on hand (most of the victims had organs spilling out and it needed immediate attention). A mentor observed this whole scene, once EMS had arrived to handle the rest of the victims, she came over to Talika and praised her for her valiant effort. Talkia informed her about becoming a pilot, and the mentor told her that she would be honored to be with her for her candidacy. 

Albeit rough, she put her heart and soul into becoming a pilot. She was paired with a dragon named Axton who saw the fire of passion in her eye. Now she currently works as one of the best researchers for her age at DoSaM and is a resident surgeon on standby. She's been revently studying neurosurgery as well.



Personality: In general: Talika is a warm hearted individual, she's a young grandma who loves and cares for everyone. Just her smile brings warmth, kindness, and a sense of happiness. She is passionate and determined individual for everything she does. She respects people that are clearly higher than her and have merit to them.

When it comes to friendships, there's no one better to be around during rough times. Talika will take a day off work if she has to just to cheer someone up. Her friends can always rely on her for comfort and wacky shenanigans. But she does know when there's nothing she can do and acts accordingly.

As far as work goes, from the moment she clocks in it's go time. Even though she's an echo, she works her tail off. Her kindness and passion for helping people translates into her work, she is always busy doing non-stop round the clock research to help reduce the death of Pilots be it with implants, cybernetics, or anything. She is also one of best surgeons for her age, she works very well under pressure.

She has two major flaws: first off she's really bad with love. Even someone remotely attractive makes her become a nervous wreck. She starts to stutter a lot and usually winds up laughing or giggling uncontrollably.

The second is that with her kindness, she tends to lean towards the gullible side. She takes practically everything as truth, and unless she hears it in someone's voice or it's obvious in a text, she cannot for the life of her identify sarcasm.

Appearance: Talika is a tall tan woman with beautiful brown hair that she almost always keeps in a messy bunl. She has slightly poor vision thus she has glasses on 90% of the time. When not in uniform she likes to wear leggings with leg warmers, a t-shirt with her favorite show on it (usually) and a jacket or sweater that matches color wise. And boots, she loves boots.

Backstory:
Xalk grew up in a decent home. His mother was the embodiment of warmth and kindness. She gave him every ounce of her she could to see him grow. She taught him all of his morals and values he still holds to this day. His father on the other was a drunk that paid no attention to him except for the first couple years after birth. He lost all interest in the child and nearly gambled him away for personal gain. Thankfully only his mother knew that, and took care of the situation before word got to Xalk.  One night, when he was merely 10 years old, during dinner a rumbling was heard within the house. When Xalk went to go look where it was coming from, the only thing that he found were his parents stabbed right in front of him on the dinner table. Xalk looked at his parents motionless bodies for a solid 5 minutes, not even listening to the killer's threats. Once the killer attempted to make a move, it was too late, for Xalk had gone into an emotionless state where his electrokinesis ran rampant. The entirety of his home shook along with the entire complex losing power. In an instant Xalk was at the killer's gut, he shocked him enough to paralyze him for the rest of his life, but Xalk wasn't done. He stared into the killer with his emotionless face no glimmer of fear, righteousness, or grief to be found. He grabbed a knife from the table and slit the throat off the murderer's head. The only thing that he kept from his home, still holds dear to him from that day is a blue rose that his mother had always kept in her hair. He carries it with him everywhere he goes.

Living alone was stressful for Xalk, over the course of his life he poured himself into his passion for designing systems and making them work with his electrokinesis that he has had since he could remember, alongside his abnormally strong aptitude for telekinesis. He was always invested in his work, mainly due to his lack of interaction with other Aedolans. He was screened the day after he turned 13 and showed amazing promise to become a Pilot. He breezed through the whole process with the first sense of excitement he had in years and graduated at the fastest possible rate due to his sheer intelligence and prowess with his abilities. He's currently paired with Trosko, a hearty dragon who chose him due to his potential. Over the course of his candidacy he learned to truly use his electrokinesis to power his electronics with a simple touch of his hand.

Personality:
Xalk is extremely shy, and for good reason. He never really had any true friends, when it comes to day by day interactions he's very nervous and practically has no confidence. He barely knows how to woo any girl let alone a woman. In regards to talking about his parents, hes become stoic when the conversation pops up. Otherwise he's just working.
UPDATE
After going on a long hiatus due to a very questionable event that happened some time ago, Xalk has become vastly more confident in himself. He openly seeks to help anyone out and isn't afraid to talk to anyone. 
When it comes to teamwork and combat, he is adequate at adapting to any situation. His stoic nature only appears during combat and serious situations, but he still retains his conscious of who's friend and foe. 

Appearance:
Xalk has blue hair and is practically always wearing a nice grey jacket with a simple black shirt underneath alongside some jeans. Whenever he's not in uniform this is his go to. He's surprisingly skinny for his build, but has very defined calves and forearms.

Abilities/Weaponry:

Link: https://www.amazon.com/Schnee-Myrtenaster-Rapier-Roudel-Cosplay/dp/B01DEEW9UM


Zaito- A rapier that Xalk was gifted from his mentor for graduation. It's made of 2 pieces: Blade guard/hilt combo with a revolving hole for multiple attachments, and the blade which retracts into a small knife with a grip that acts as an assembly piece for the full rapier when needed. The blade extends once attached and he can use the rapier to amp his powers to send waves of electricity. He also can use it as a way to quickly maneuver around the battlefield if need be.
Note: He DOES NOT rely on this, if anything it's a glorified shishkabob skewer on a day to day basis, he also does not bring it with him to work.

Gadgets and gizmos- stuff that he tinkers with, if it's small enough to fit in his pocket, unfinished or not, he'll take it with him.

Combat State- Xalk during a state of combat or a serious situation, will become completely stoic. He still retains his conscious to know who's friend or foe. He can enhances his movements with electrokinesis but at best he can only keep the electricity flowing for 5 minutes, it allows him to move faster than normal but due to its minimal amount of use after the candidate program, achieving this electrified state has been rare.

Ankia Caydian, Galaxian GunMaester

Age:27
Height: 6'1
Weight: 145 lbs
Gender: female
Species: Human
Hair color: blue
Eye color: light blue with sparkles of silver
Ethnicity: Edanith
Residence: Edanith
Occupation: Bounty hunter
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship status: single

Backstory:
Ankia never knew her mother, she died giving birth to her. Her father was always there, always smiling helping through every aspect of her life. He was strict, but forgiving, he always gave Ankia a second shot at everything, both metaphorically and literally. Her father was a famous bounty hunter back when he was Ankia's age. He mastered every single gun he had ever come to known, his natural psionics that has run in the family passed down to Ankia as well. He had 3 guns that were his go to's no matter what: Cartius- a binary sniper rifle (binary meaning it can either shoot plasma or kinetic rounds), Tauron- a sawed off shot-gun firing explosive rounds, and Ankus- his revolver that has an ace of spades design all over, named after his daughter, it fires void and light imbued rounds. He took Ankia to the wild west frontier of Edanith when she was 15, she adored shooting and her father made sure to teach her everyday. One afternoon, while clearing up the targets, Ankia grabbed one the bullets that her father fired from Ankus. Unfortunately, it was more of the void than light, her mind was invaded with images and scenes of another world, nothing close to what was in the galaxy. The creatures rushed her, sinking their claws into Ankia, even thought they were halluciantions it still felt beyond real. Her father rushed over to her, caressing her in his arms before he put Ankus in her hand. In order to remove the visions, she needed to perform a truly impure deed, her father was aware of this. He motioned the gun underneath his jaw, Ankia was in a river of tears seeing no wat out of this wretched situation. She tried to bring it to herself but her father wouldn't let her, he looked her in the eyes "I love you, you're a brave and strong woman, be better than I could ever be." He spoke just before pulling the trigger for her. Ankus phased into Ankia, completely disappearing as she screamed for her now dead father.
5 years later, Ankia returned to her old home on the frontier of Edanith, she grabbed Cartius and Tauron, and his old Ti-700 body suit, it had silver plate-like pieces on the outside with an extremely durable and breathable spandex suit to hold everything together, donning the suit caused it to glow blue in between each plate, it conformed to her body perfectely. She accentuated it with a leather jacket and cowgirl boots. In those 5 years she learned how to master every gun she came across, but she always stuck with her father's best, cause she knew thats what he always wanted for her.

Personality: Ankia genuinely cares for people since thats how she was raised, she always is out to help the little guy no matter what. She's kind to everyone that is kind to her, but don't be surprised if your head gets blown off for trying to mess with her. When it's time to get down to business, she gets down to business.

Appearance:
She has blue hair and an athletic build, curvey in all the right ways, she always has her body suit on since the plates detach for when she needs to sleep. The spandex underneath is black and opaque no matter how much she stretches it. Cartius always rests on her back with the body suit, Tauron is on her right hip.

Abilities/Weapons:
Cartius- Binary rifle- can switch between plasma and kinetic rounds. Go to weapon for most bounties.
Tauron- strictly used for close quarters combat featuring explosive rounds.
Psionic over drive: Ankia's psionic powers are sent into an overdrive mode in a sitaution that triggers her righteousness complex. Her body becomes mixed with void and light energy ( dark purple and white) and she summons Ankus, her father's ace of spades revolver. It has 7 rounds, each mixed with light and void energy, her effective range is increased to beyond what Cartius can reach, and the rounds can disentegrate a pilot's dragon easily (for sake of understanding damage). Afterwards, she immediately passes out, the time it takes for her to become conscious again varies.
GunMaester- she can master any new gun given to her in under a day. If she deems it worthy, she'll add it to her main arsenal.

She also has her own personal hover bike, it is made from Cartius. Yes her sniper rifle can turn into a hover bike, science.
