ABILITIES
- Heightened Senses: Allastor has hightened senses of smell, sight and hearing, beyond those of normal humans. His sense of smell can be compared to that of a shark, capable of detecting the slightest scent up to a mile away. He is capable of seeing in the dark, but not through fog or most stealth powers. However, his other senses can help him spot enemies at a relatively close range. His sensitive hearing allows him to detect a larger array of frequencies than must humans and animals, and it is amplified so he is capable of hearing across great distances. As every dragon, he posses a 'blind sense', allowing him to spot individuals he cannot detect with his other senses, perhaps via vibrations, making him very hard to catch unawares.
- Extrasensorial Perception: Allastor is capable of detecting auras around other objects, areas or beings. He can automatically determine the nature of it (magical, evil, good, demonic, celestial, aggresive, etc.) by just looking at the source of it. This ability is always active and it has a repercution in his eyesight, allowing him to 'see' them. However, this ability is cannot be 'turned off' and he cannot detect beings or objects that do not posses a strong aura of a specific type via this sense.
- Resistance: His scales provide a tough hide that serve as a body armor, head-to-toe and muzzle-to-tail. Minor projectiles and low caliber bullets would simply bounce off his scales. Piercing rounds and higher caliber projectiles would likely harm him, however. The only exception would be the membranes of his wings, which are treated like leathery skin. He has been known to deflect energy attacks and show remarkable resistance to the elements. His scales offer but minor protection to corrosive substances. Allastor is capable of resisting relatively extreme temperatures, being able to withstand a range from -40 ºF to roughly 158 ºF without needing protection.
- Dragon Physiology: Allastor's physical structure, 'blessing' and training make him capable of lifting over 20 tons with his bare hands, standing still and supported by his two hind legs and his tail. It has been theorized that he could possibly affect more weight if he rather pushes or drags objects. The exact limit of his physycal strength is unknown while he is out of his Hybrid or Mythril aspects. Allastor seems to move a lot like a cat, and his reflexes rival with those of one, making it seem like his reaction times are instantaneous. Furthermore, while under stress, intense emotions and in danger, he has been seen to display short bursts of blurring speed with localized movements, although he seems unaware of this himself. Allastor is also capable of moving in both bipedal and quadrupedal motion, preferring the latter one to travel long distances by land. While galloping down on all fours, he can reach a maximum speed of 65 mph. His strong legs can propel him up to 2-3 stories upwards or 60 yards forward with a single leap, and fall roughly twice as much, sustaining minimal damage if any. His wings allow him to perform rapid flights and take offs, with a maximum speed of 200 mph by taking advantage of air currents that soar in the same direction he flies, and 600 mph when diving like a falcon would, and amazing maneuverability in mid-air. He's barely affected by the alterations of altitude and he can reach the higher layers of our stratosphere when he flies up. Solar radiation doesn't affect him at these heights. However, he can be forced to descend when oxygen is in short supplies. Allastor is a fairly good swimmer, propelling himself by making short wingflaps and weaving his long tail to the sides like a crocodile, and he can reach speeds of 40 mph when in calm waters. Allastor's tail is slightly longer than he is actually tall, which he can use as a weapon (see below), and it weaves casually behind him when he's standing or walking (as both bipedal or on all fours), and it never touches the ground unless he is exhausted or depressed, in which cases he drags it. His lungs' capacity allows him to hold his breath for up to 20 minutes before he risks choking. He has the innate, uncounscious ability to regenerate wbunds at a faster-than-normal rate, almost lizard-like. However, he cannot regenerate lost limbs without the aid of strong healing magic.
- Training: He was trained in several martial arts styles, making him a formidable combatant at close range. He excells in the following styles: Leopard, Shotokan (all stances), Judo, Greek-Roman wrestling, Tiger and Dragon. Allastor has also developed minor resistance to psionics through training and meditation, even if it does not provide complete protection against these type of attacks. His own willpower allows him to shrug off mental manipulation, but it does not block mind reading. A psychic once witnessed him show the capacity of sending off some sort of 'psionic feedback' against aanother, psychic dragon, but the effort rendered him dazed.
- Magics: Allastor was trained in arcane and divine magic, but he was restricted in this art due to his nature as the Mythril Dragon by his mentors. It has been but recently that he has developed this trait and he is capable of casting spells, glyps, rituals and wards of medium complexity.
- Limited Camouflage: Like every member of his race of dragons, Allastor can blend with his surroundings and may remain unseen if he doesn't move. He can't become completely invisible, however.
- Inherent Draconic Empathy: Allastor is capable of communicating with other dragons (and anyone part dragon) telepathically. This ability is known to work even across great distances and fairly good across dimensions. However, Allastor is limited to projecting speech and surface emotions. He cannot, for example, project what he is currently seeing or hearing. He can "turn off" this ability at will, and he may not be reachable by mental scrying unless said psychic is powerful enough to do so.
- Natural Weapons: Allastor has sharp claws (on both wings and hands), talons and teeth with which he fights, all of them capable of piercing metal. He could easily dig his claws and talons into concrete to help him climb vertical surfaces or even rip large chunks of asphalt or rock from the ground. His jaws' strength limits have not really been measured, but eye-witnesses have stated that Allastor has pulverized solid rock before, and Vanguard operatives have seen him bending impervium with them. Allastor's 16' long prehensile tail funtions as a very versatile limb, capable of performing very punctual and delicate tasks, like pressing buttons, as well as delivering powerful blows that could bring a concrete wall down. He can wrap his tail around objects with a minimum sectional area of approximately 5" in diameter and it can presumably lift as much the weight he could lift using his hands with it, but possibly crush more. He also uses his tail for balance while walking and running, and it serves as a rudder while flying, swimming and running (all fours or bipedal). His wings have limited combat capability, mostly used to block certain type of attacks or push individuals away from him. His S-curved horns on his head don't really have combat functions, but they seem to protect his skull, and he has spikes over certain joints of his body (shoulders, elbows, etc.).
The Essence of Bahamut
The first manifestation of the powers embewed upon him by the grace of Bahamut, the Dragon God, granted him with superior strength and resistance, as well as the ability to emmit and control fire and ice for a variety of effects. He was also capable of absorbing energy from his surroundings to enhance his abilities, toughness or channel it into a personal force field, which he calls "Dragon Shell".
Eventually, his abilities evolved and so did his powers. Currently, unless he does it through magical spells, he is unable to create fire or ice. Instead, he has attained the ability to manipulate a mystic energy that it's believed to be Bahamut's very essence, which allows him to perform several tasks, like projecting raw energy in the form of concentrated blasts or devastating physical attacks, boosting his own strength, regeneration and toughness.
At times, he is capable of tapping into the Mythril Aspect, which is the closets to the Avatar of Bahamut himself, and his scales become brighter, making him look like a large dragon made out of small mirrors shards. Only in this aspect, and for only a few minutes every once in a while, Allastor is capable of becoming more energy than matter, an entity of light, making him nearly impervious to harm. Every single ability and powers become considerably increased for as long as he remains in this state. However, Allastor is unable to sustain this aspect for extended periods of time. He is still a mortal. After this transformation, and due to a overly superhuman amount of strain at channeling this immesurable amount of energy, Allastor will drop from his Mythril Aspect and become exhausted and weakened. Willing to extend this transformation may result in lethal concequences for him.
Allastor's abilities are still growing on his way to becoming the true Avatar of Bahamut, and some believe Allastor has been appointed to become His successor as the God of Good Dragons, if the prophecy is not fulfilled. With the recent 'awakening' of the Well of the Furies, his powers have grown exponentially, discovering new and fashionable ways to channeling the power of Bahamut more directly. His most recent one being the ability to extend and enhace his Dragon Shell into an impenetrable barrier to protect nearby allies and the ability to summon forth a devastating current of raw power and energy.
Unknown to most, Allastor has also been followed by two elusive presences that seem to protect him, with auras of the same characteristics as his own. It is believed that they may be a favor of Bahamut himself in sending two of His seven guardians.
Full potential and extent of his powers are still unknown...
PERSONALITY
Allastor is normally very calm, polite and wise, and he rarely shows the pride a dragon of his kind would normally have. Or at least he tries. However, Allastor is still young by dragon standards, and he could be qualified as the equivalent of a human in his mid/late 20s. He possesses an urge to protect humanity and dragonkin, driven by the belief that the prophecy of the Mythril Dragon will not be fulfilled if he can help it.
Allastor is normally very approachable, and he will gladly share information and protection to those who really require it, but when he or his friends are threatened he can be quite ferocious and distant. A clear dragon trait, but he is always careful and watchful about those trying to provoke him. He will, however, avoid killing humans and dragons if he can, and doing so created great remorse upon him.
Bravery and courage are often two of his bast traits, as well as nobility and respect even with those who are his enemies. The only exception to this perhaps would be his Praetorian, Allastor Nightfire. He mostly hides his at times shy aspect, especially around attractive females (As of now, of any race and kind). His life offered little to no interaction with members of the opposite sex that were not his mother or sister, or one of the female Elders that survived the Massacre and until he arrived to Rhode Island.
Allastor takes his past very seriously, and he can be very emotional about it. He would not share that kind of information unless he has developed a certain level of trust with someone else.
TRIVIA
- Allastor pays a lot of attention to his body and works out regularly. He has an impressive stamina and it takes a great deal to get exhausted, and he doesn't mind spending an entire day flying, swimming or galloping in the fields, showing off his physical capabilities. To regain the vast amounts of energy Allastor spends in the daily exercise, he needs to eat an amount of food equivalent to two cows. He is sensitive about his weight and body though, so he takes especial care of the amounts of food vs. the amount of exersice.
- Allastor starves for knowledge. If he doesn't feel like showing off his body's maximum capacities, he spends a great deal of time reading books of almost every kind. He especially enjoys history books, fables and narrative stories, as well as anything related to Arcana and occult lore.
- Allastor is sensitive about his tail. He would normally avoid being touched or teased at his tail, although he is slightly ticklish on it. Grabbing and pulling it would make him upset by defaul, although it depends on the trust he has on the one grabbing/pulling it.
- Allastor normally shows both animalistic and humane behaviors. He tries to remain the most humane possible in order to fit in today's modern society, but Allastor is still an animal. Allastor is prone to emitting animalistic growls, grunts, grumbles, gurggles, moans, whimpers and various other sounds, depending on his mood. He normally walks on his two hind legs, but he can also be seen walking on all fours. Allastor is territorial, and he would defend his protectorate, which includes his own friends from potential dangers, for as long as it doesn't collide with his ideals. Allastor particularly enjoys scritches and petting, especially behind the ears, under his chin, between his wings and, despite being sentitive about it, at the base and middle section of his tail.
- Allastor speaks in English with a British accent, and Draconic at times, which is rather strong even for dragons. He also speaks Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Romanian, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Russian and Latin, as well as a few forgotten tongues, like Sylvan (language of Fae and the creatures of nature), Elvish, Dwarven, Drow, and a little Celestial (language of angels), Abyssal (language of demons) and Infernal (language of devils). Allastor can also read and understand ancient Runic, Egyptian heiroglyphs and very few other symbolic languages.
- Allastor is very sensitive. Dragons are said to normally experience emotions as a human does, tenfold. He is prone to intense emotions, anger capable of becoming an uncontainable ire, happiness to blissful joy, and sadness to deep depressions. Allastor's emotions, more noticably anger, would make his eyes glow in intense white, each capable of emitting as much light as a lantern.
- Allastor's mind can be normally read by psychics. However, attempts at reading thoughts and memories prior to his coming to Paragon City can take a while to decipher, provided they are, for the most part, versed in Draconic. Moreover, his mind is saturated with knowledge and information that perhaps only dragons may be able to understand on a first attempt.
- Allastor is subject of recurrent nightmares when he is under deep stress. In such cases, he would normally dream about the Massacre, and in rare times, he is revealed visions of a possible future where there is only destruction and death around him, with in his Mythril Aspect... By default, these dreams would awaken him violently.
- Allastor possesses an irrational fear to harlequins and clowns, due to an event during his childhood.
- Allastor strongly defends his believes on Bahamut's dogma and his religion, and he worships him as a patron deity. He also respects other gods within the Draconic Pantheon . He highly respects Chronepsis and Io, for they are supreme over other dragon deities. Allastor values Lendys' ideals on balance and justice, accepts Hlal for her storytelling and music, and welcomes Tamara's dogma on mercy and goodness. He also believes in Aasterinian's dogma about thinking for themselves. He cares little about Sardior or Astilabor (possibly why Allastor has no hoard), and he both fears and repudiates (but still respects) Tiamat, Faluzure and Garyx.

Easy to see why he could potentially be an avatar of Bahamut.

Its HTML code (I think). To make a text bold you would have to type it this way: < b >TEXT< /b > (without the spaces between the b and the /b)
