Skies of War

A more serious look at life on a dragon's back, following a number of pilots, fighters, dragon riders and their crews. Since this is a semi-historical docu-drama, it comes on reasonably late at night and is uncensored. Some of the odder elements of this show include having time-travel be a normal occurrance, and plucking "would have dieds" from the wreckage and moving them into the modern era. Now, normally this doesn't seem like a very "pc" thing to do, however Twoarth is known for its highly unusual behaviors. They're not the kind of film makers who just "let the starving animal die", or avoid contact. Since the show has a collection of mages working with it along with the high-tech aspects, they often are called upon to wipe memories or make simple alterations to the locals to allow for these odd happenings.

The show itself though, is a marvel to watch. Each week a different squad is chosen and followed around in depth. The show is two hours long, and compiles weeks worth of documentation on each group. From small innovative and almost completely inconspicuous cameras placed in helmets or equipment, viewers get up-close experiences with dogfights, aerial battles, crash landings, maintenance, and everything that goes into training a skyborne warrior.

 

 

Name: Shunduys
Gender: Female
Species: Drak/Winter Mutt
Colour: Rain
Father: Ore Drak, Nycaridu
Mother: Crystal Grey Lantessama Winter Dragon, Axys
Size: Medium
Height@Shoulder: 11'
Abilities: Telepathy, Acid Spit
Personality: Impulsive, Sneaky
Fun Facts: Their fur, when spun into wool and knitted, has exceptional insulation ratings. It can keep the wearer warm in up to -40 degree celsius weather. Their ankle and wrist cuffs are made out of this material from their mother: each cuff is actually a starter and example of different kinds of knitting and perling, should anyone want to reverse-engineer some fancy toques and sweaters!

Rider: Adelphis Ironheel
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: An older man with chocolate coloured skin and shoulder-length, silvering hair, Adelphis is well built even despite going on in years. He is shorter than average, however his presence is large enough to make up for that. His impeccable style of dress also helps!
Personality: Charming and witty on the outside, there is no doubt that Adelphis is a genius and a wit. He does an excellent job of covering his darker side, that somewhat insane and competitive side of him, at least in conversation. When he's in the cockpit of his beloved dogfighter, Adelphis is (and always has been) the best damned pilot you have ever met. He strives to oneup not only others, but himself as well, and in all his years he has spawned dozens of tactical moves that nobody would experiment with if they were sane! In a world where steampunk and biopunk have merged, he has a better grasp of how to ride a dragon than other pilots might, though he's having a hard time wrapping his mind around the intelligence of a dragon, rather than the mindless obeisance of his original fighter.
