Dragon
Appearance
Female. Tinker ?
Heralded as the most skilled and powerful Tinker in this reality, this superhero deploys to international incidents with a new and original suit of armor/vehicle every time. Manages the Birdcage, the top security prison for supervillains based in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia.
Dragon is a member of the Guild, a Canadian superteam that focuses primarily on threats of an international scale, and an honorary member/supporter of the PRT, providing gear and managing their computer systems.
Trivia
- Author's note: My first attempts at writing in the superhero setting centered around Runechild (who doesn't make an appearance in this universe). In Runechild's second story, she recieves a request from Dragon to help with a situation involving The Dragonslayers. This is the point where I hashed out Dragon's character, background and 'power'. This makes Dragon the oldest character in Worm, from a design standpoint.
- Of the two (or three, depending on interpretation) suits of armor Dragon has been seen in, both have had a 'dragon' theme:
- The first one seen was during her fight with Leviathan (Extermination Arc), a durable suit containing multiple layers and heavy weapons. Her firebreath in this form was a spray of plasma. She also featured missile turrets and the ability to shed her damaged outer encasement to jettison a smaller, bipedal unit.
- The second suit was revealed during the Parasite Arc, where Dragon deploys a fast response suit. The units are similar in that they are quadrupedal, but the fast response suit was more flexible than durable, had an accelerant breath, containment foam turrets and other heavy weapons that weren't suitable for use as antipersonnel weapons. This suit was revealed to have a foetal creature inside it.
- Other things Dragon has created include the Birdcage, the collar worn by Canary, the loadouts for the specialized grenade lanchers used by the PRT officers, and the containment foam sprayers (both civilian use and the larger turrets mounted on her fast response suit and on PRT vans).
