I'm ready to go. Since the Dragon Hatchling framework is, by design, not finished when the game starts, the character sheet is as ready as it's going to be.
Any thoughts on a name for him?

I've had several thoughts, but I was figuring for an absolute newborn maybe it was best to find it in play. I'm thinking dragons have an ancestral name and many dragons insist on them, but a name is what people call you. So I can give her a name liks Abathraxys (because Ys and Xs are very draconic) or reference a classic (my favorite 'classic' dragon name is Vermithrax Pejorative). I think the timeframe for settling on a name is probably about what the Untested trait lays out.

If you prefer I name her before we start, I can do that.

I’m pretty sure I am ready to go, btw.

That is a good point. I'm thinking of how the team and others might refer to you before you find your true name (And for me to reference.) How about Una for now? :)

I'm good with that. I had a thought that, in the absence of parental attention during maturation in the egg, she absorbed whatever was around her. So I had some comic book names, like Fin Fang Foom in my head, but I think that's more of a shaping of thought rather than a name.

Pretty sure, I'm good to go now! Think I was only missing the hinderances on the char sheet? Origin posted.

Character finally submitted! I feel like I deserve a PhD in this. Still finishing backstory and finalizing portrait (word of warning, the image will be AI most likely. If youre not the big three (DnD, PF, CoC), good luck finding character images for the more obscure stuff).

Nice!

I don’t mind AI art, I’ll probably be using some myself when necessary. :)

Give me a couple evening to give one last look over and make sure no one is missing anything major and I’ll get things rolling ASAP :)

I guess I should have warned folks my Icon is AI generated imagery. 😬 I’m not an artist, at all.

I'll post a bit later tonight.

Oh! I didn't even consider a character portrait! It's also going to be AI. If anyone is interested, I stole my user image. It's a painting of Moebius' Arzach. I had the artists information... but I can't find it now.

Kent Williams!! US illustrator and painter who seems to do alot of comic and graphic novel related stuff.

My character portrait was lifted from somewhere on the Internet, doing a Google image search, looking for a female warrior with lots of visible tattoos. Almost gave up and resorted to AI but I expected that to be a struggle to get what I wanted anyway.

Sid'Charon sees himself as a scholar first and warrior second. His intimidating size, cybernetics, and combat training are simply the tools that allow him to pursue knowledge in places where ordinary academics wouldn't survive.

He joined the Tomorrow Legion because Castle Refuge represents something rare on Rifts Earth: an organization interested not only in surviving, but in recovering, preserving, and sharing the knowledge of lost civilizations. He quickly became a combination of field scholar, archaeologist, translator, and heavily armed librarian.

Europa particularly fascinates him. Beneath the territories controlled by Gargoyles and Brodkil lie countless libraries, universities, monasteries, museums, and archives lost since the Great Cataclysm. He believes destroying the Gargoyles is less important than rescuing the knowledge that might disappear with them.

"Preserve what can be saved. Understand what can be learned. Defend what must endure."

OOC:
I imagine him as similar to X-Men's Beast, and yes, with Kelsey Grammer's voice :)

I have to say I wish someone else was GM and I was a player to be inspired by all of these fantastic characters. :)

I can’t wait to see the rest of the portraits :)

Hi @Knighthawke, is this game still on?
Sep 20, 2026 10:38 pm
Yes, I'm movig things along here in a few minutes....

This will not be normal. I had a family medical issue friday and it's kept me on edge since then...
Sep 20, 2026 11:41 pm
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it turns out okay, but if you need a moment just let us know.
Sep 20, 2026 11:44 pm
Oh my, hope all is well, take all the time you need.
Sep 21, 2026 1:18 am
IRL and family (at least the good kind) come first.
Sep 21, 2026 1:38 am
I hope things are better now! I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

Also, wow, we are rolling terribly!
