Augadöll

He Tends To Frost and Fallen Flowers

Although Dran Myhk live for an eon, few escape pre-adolescent whims and whimsies, struck in amber of their ethereal condition. Once a part of Ratatoskr's entourage, Augadöll have seen their apotheosis of self under her wing — eschewing the tranquil mists for the experiences of mortal hustle and hospitality amongst the Landlords.

The tragedy that struck the relationship between dragon and man has seen them join the tides of Dragonsong war. They've claimed the position of Elder after a long sleep they've fallen into upon being struck down by a dragoon of eld. They were woken up by Woadbyne's kit during the 7th Umbral Calamity. Their magical prowess was called upon to protect The Fog from the violent waves of aether that followed the moon's descent and Bahamut's wrath.

What emerged after a century of slumber was not the same as what was slain. Though healed, they've chosen to remain with the Winter Court and have seemingly lain down their grievances for good.  Instead, they've dedicated themselves to keeping The Fog safe from violent interventions of man. Should one find themselves returning to the entrance of the misty domain again and again, they can blame their woes on their handiwork. 

Although they were a vehement proponent of the total annihilation of Nish (Ishgard), their presence amongst men has grown with the onset of peace. They keep vigil over the young Fae now boldly venturing into the mortal realm. Both to keep them accountable for breaking mortal laws and those of the Winter Court. How that explains their involvement with keeping some mortals safe despite their history remains a mystery they are most eager to maintain.

Appearance

Height
6'1"

A tall miqo'te, lean, with slender waist and fluffy, strong legs. Or rather, paws.

Hair
Fluffy and dense snow-white hair, reaching as low as their heels.

Eyes
Mint Green

Skin
Pale skin, with warm undertone.

Details
Full lips and an oval face with a sharp chin.

Personality

Gestures
Unhurried and sinuous movements. If observed for a long period of time, it is like they are moving to a slow song no one else hears. There is a change to it - a bounce - when they are on a prowl.

Voice
Low, drawn out when they are relaxed; crisp when they are energetic.

Fears
Betrayal, loss. To cage someone dear out of selfishness.

Quirks
Perpetual smugness of face.

Details

  • Before their long dream that ended with the onset of the 7th Umbral Calamity, their Second Name used to be She Sharpens Visions of Ice. Their original Second Name is lost to history as they've thrown it away.
  • As a proper Fae should, they find themselves beholden and ruled by their words and vows, even the ones they've made to themself.
  • A fable about a white feline keeping children in the Brume safe from Dravanian raids has some connection to them.
  • They have a clear memory of the 7th Umbral Calamity as the Rejoining had no effect on them.
  • With guidance of the Summer Court, they've traveled to all the Shards that existed prior to the 7th Umbral Calamity. All in all totalling to eight trips over a 1000 years. Although the flow of time differs between realms, each stay never eclipsed twenty years of their personal time. They always came back stronger and madder, in time for another phase of the Dragonsong War.
  • It is known among the Nidhogg's brood that though they wished to challenge the black dragon and convince him to lay complete waste to the Nish, they lacked the power to do so and thus sought it fervently.
  • Their downfall, 100 years before the 7th Umbral Calamity, coincides with their return from their 8th and last trip, taken to the 13th Shard.

Presentation

BODY 

Augadöll is often seen with characteristic Dran Myhk features - furred, inhuman limbs, and an eerie quality of the eyes. In humanoid shape, they forego making their looks more appealing to mankind on principle. Their face is unsettling in its symmetry and they maintain the wide grith and might of their forelegs from their draconic shape. The sole concession that has been made to their increasingly frequent interaction with mortals is their blunted claws.

STYLE

In times of eld and during the Dragonsong War they have kept their long hair tied up neatly in a braid, though they have not taken good care of it or their fur, as they've foregone the recuperation and pauses that other dragons would take to. After they've awakened from their century of slumber, they no longer neglect their appearance.

Moreover, they have slowly taken to dressing in clothes that have not seen light for a millenia - a more comfortable drape, accessorised with ancient gifts from the Landlords to the Ratatoskr's retinue. The shine of the embroidered figure of their patron has long faded, but it still serves as a reminder of both man's virtue and treachery. 

Although this is their preferred clothing, they are not below changing it to their whims or discarding it if situation demands it. While the latter is a rare occurrence, the former is ruled by their theatrical inclinations. Through all their outfits, they maintain a ruby earring in their left ear.

DRAGON SHAPE

As an elder (albeit the youngest one) amongst Dran Myhk, Augadöll has reached a stage where their power is at the pinnacle of the Winter Court's strength. It reflects in both their size and the ease with which they take control of their own flesh and blood.

Unlike many Dran Mhyk who have abandoned their wings behind them in mourning of Ratatoskr's fall, Augadöll has kept theirs. Turning from grief to the inferno of war, their flight of rage was an act of defiance to the Winter Court's inherent passivity. It is on these wings that they've left their clan for a thousand years long tenure in bloodshed.

In this time they've earned many a black stripe on their fur - a mark of mankind's metals piercing and scarring their flesh. In their draconic form, they wear them without shame, though it is by choice that none appear on them as a featherless biped.

The lionfish-like feathers on their wings' last joint are translucent and are capable of reflecting light. They use them as a medium to cast complex illusions over the shapes of ice or other living beings. Although their rest has dulled their edges, these feathers remain sharp, and if they so desire - dangerously poisonous.
