Post by Froshana Mon Jul 13, 2015 7:05 am

So, let it be noted I haven't really done anything in 'Sonic style' since... early high school? It's been a long time. So any characters I have on here are more anthro than Sonic and I'll just try to translate them down accordingly. c:


Name: Tangerine Swiftdragon
Nickname: Tani
Age: 19
Species: Dragon
Gender: Female
Occupation: Hired muscle for a pair of thieves.

Appearance:
Tangerine is a well-muscled, slightly taller than average dragon. She appears casual and relaxed much of the time. She is very easy to spot in a crowd thanks to her orange scales and her rainbow-colored hair. The colors in her hair form in streaks, to be shown in her updated reference later. Most often, it is tied back into a ponytail that reaches midway down her back and leaves her bangs around her face. Her eyes are blue.

Her orange scales are tough and appear plated going down her front from under her jawline to her pelvis. The 'plated' scales of her front are a slightly lighter color than the rest of her scales. It may be noted that she does not have a bellybutton. She has two short and slightly curved horns on her head, both in an off-white color, not unlike the color of bone. They match the same color as a set of spikes that start small from the middle of her back along her spine and grow in size up to about three inches in length once they reach a third of the way down her long tail. From there, they begin to decrease in size again all the way down to the end of her tail. Tangerine also has a tuft of fur on the end of her tail, matching all the colors of the rest of her hair and measuring about five inches.

Tangerine cannot retract the claws on her paws or her feet. As such, she does not wear shoes. The rest of her outfit varies, though in general she prefers jeans and shorts. She also can usually only wear cropped tops as anything longer gets caught on the curved spikes of her spine. For work or colder weather, she will go ahead and have clothing with openings especially for her spikes already prepared.

References:
(Will be updated with colored references when I have them!)

Personality traits

Likes:
- Sparring and testing herself and her abilities.
- Warm climates and relaxation.
- Independence.

Dislikes:
- People who brag and show off.
- Comments about her unusual colors.
- Wasted food.

Personality:
Tangerine is a rather rough and tumble dragon, having had a bit of a difficult upbringing. Life on the streets hardened her significantly, but she learned a lot from it and may sometimes try to use her own experiences to help others she may meet, especially troubled youths.

She is fiercely loyal to those who may manage to reach a certain level of closeness and trust with her and will fight for and defend them to the end. That being said, she sometimes has difficulty expressing her feelings and often keeps up her facade of being tough and uncaring when she isn't sure how to react to things. She is blunt and straight-forward with most of what she says and on occasion may accidentally offend those who aren't accustomed to being around her. A more sarcastic side often comes to the surface as well and some have previously called her a rather cynical reptile.

She is also very aware of how amusingly easy it is to spot her in a crowd due to her ridiculous colors and scowls at the idea, mostly, but does nothing to change it, aside from covering up when working.


Combat traits

Powers:
Tangerine has the ability to manipulate electricity, most often in the forms of controlled lightning. Her ability with it is on the rough side as she has never had any formal training and only learned what she could teach herself through experience. She can both unleash large amounts of electricity at once or concentrate it into smaller bursts more like a taser. She also enjoys playing with static electricity, especially around those who are covered in fur.

Strengths:
- Physically strong and quick on her feet. She has some parkour skills as well from her time with a city gang and also from her work with the Valentine twins.
- She is headstrong and resilient, both mentally and physically.
- Tough scales make it just slightly harder to hurt her, though she is certainly not blade or bullet-proof.

Weaknesses:
- A bit socially awkward and distant at times, especially when meeting new people.
- Can occasionally release small bursts of electricity from herself when surprised or scared.
- As a reptile, she is cold-blooded and struggles with cold climates or being overly active when she isn't warm enough.


Social information

Positive relations
- The Valentine twins. Two felines by the names of Lanelle and Karina that Tangerine has worked with a couple of times as an emergency back-up during their thieving missions. Although she is still a bit unfamiliar with them personally, they pay her well and she continues to work with them when called.
- Lina Thorn. A mole who also works with the Valentines. They have very little in common, but get along well enough.

Negative relations
- Tangerine's departure from the gang she spent some of her teen years with was sudden and not on the best of terms. She sometimes worries what might happen should she cross paths with them again someday.


History
Tangerine was hatched (lol) to a loving, though rather young couple. Her mother, taken by the bright orange of her daughter's scales, saw fit to give her her fruit-based name and often referred to her as her 'Sweet Tangerine'.

Sadly, Tangerine was orphaned at the age of 8 when her parents were in a tragic accident and she was turned over to an orphanage. Despite a bit of a rough start, Tangerine managed to make friends with a couple of the other kids there, eventually growing very close with Marc, a cheetah a year younger than her. She was adopted once at the age of 9, but it was during this time that she discovered her powers and, to her disappointment, her foster parents were unwilling to try and keep a child with uncontrolled supernatural ability. As a result, she found herself back at the orphanage after a mere six months.

When she was 14 years old, she and Marc decided that they were tired of being unwanted there at the orphanage and they ran away, eventually ending up in a large northern city. Their plan was poorly thought out, however, and they were struggling to survive from the start. A couple of weeks in, a local gang offered their help if the pair would join them in their activities, but they both refused, unwilling to turn to crime to survive. Tangerine was certain they would find their own way.

It was autumn when they arrived and by winter, Marc had grown ill from nights spent sleeping out in the cold. Tangerine wasn't doing much better and her cold blood didn't help at all in huddling with her friend to keep him warm. His health rapidly grew worse and Tangerine awoke one morning in their makeshift cardboard shelter to find Marc cold and unmoving. The experience was more than a little traumatic for her and to this day, she continues to blame herself for not being able to keep him warm and look after him like she wishes she could have done.

After having lost her only companion, Tangerine begrudgingly turned to the gang there in the city and she was taken in by them. They found significant use in her powers and she was quick to learn how to work with vehicles and earn some income that way. Despite not much caring for their deeds, she stuck with the gang until she was 18, saving what money she could, then struck out on her own again without so much as a goodbye. She knew her wanting to leave wouldn't be well-received as no gang member could simply walk out. However, she took the chance and continues to hope they won't find her in her new location.

A month or so after leaving the gang, it was only by chance that she met the Valentines while they were being harassed by a couple of drunks out on the street and she was able to dispatch them easily. Needing someone of her ability, the twins, only two years older than Tangerine, offered her the opportunity to work with them in their business of thieving. They also introduced her to Lina, who is in charge of their research and the occasional gear she manages to make them.

By the current present, they have done a few small jobs together and Tangerine has a very small apartment of her own now. She made up a last name for herself to use and continues a quiet existence, traveling about when jobs or opportunity arise.
