Eldram
First-year adventuring student at the academy who showed up as a half-elf, but was in fact a young dragon in disguise, the son of the scheming sapphire dragons Dinalth and Torvoroar. He ran away from home to get out from under his parents machinations, and to have a chance to work towards being an adventuring hero. He applies his psionic talents as a Psi Warrior fighter, and has been rigorously training as such during his time at the academy (though being careful to not let on too much his full abilities as a dragon, except to the few in-the-know, like Ondulin and his party).
He has greatly admirered Audrarith and Jadvigal as dragons who trained and developed the skills of adventurers, though he doubts that their approaches to his situation have really been for the best. This is particularly the case around him receiving the Namecloak spell (which disrupts, replaces, or wipes away knowledge of a creature's true name, which for a dragon includes the names and types of one's ancestors going back many generations). After this was dispelled in dramatic fashion aboard the skyship, he was able to recall his lineage again (particularly the red dragons on his mother's side and the bronze dragons on his father's side), but it had the unfortunate side effect of unlocking some aspect of his parents' draconic powers that now benefits their machinations (and those of their drow warlocks in the underdark). This is particularly loathsome to Eldram, as he has been bothered several times recently by the Dream spell from his father wishing for him to aid their efforts. He proceeded to attempt to replicate Audrarith's and Jadvigal's ability to long rest without needing to sleep for himself, to avoid such dream encounters entirely. He was able to achieve this feat after about two weeks of effort (as of the departure of the newly outfitted Gentle Night).
For most of the time at the academy, he has gone about in humanoid form as a half-elf (with distinctive sapphire blue eyes that betray a hint of his true nature). However, since his adventures with the "Friendly Four" party of himself, Surina, Fiona, and Wendel, he has been preferring more and more to remain in his true dragon form. This has been made much more practical by the fact that he hasn't had to return to the academy grounds since then, but instead has been assigned as one of the parties aboard the skyship Gentle Night. In his time as a part of the crew, he as grown increasingly drawn to aiding the operations of the ship, as his telekinetic abilities are incredibly useful in this regard (giving him some proof of skill outside of just combat). With a psionic helm being installed, he has volunteered to be one of the primary helmspersons of the airship, often taking night pilot duty.
For the most part, he has not been one to make a ton of connections with others (mostly over discomfort over what degree he feels he needs to hide or admit to his true nature). That being said, with Ondulin knowing his secret and being in many of the same Fighter courses, they have struck up a bit of a friendship. Also, since joining his new four person party, he has developed an almost sibling-like rapport with Surina. Eventually, over the course of the month or so adventuring together, he grew close romantically to Kal, and has decided to go with his group when they return to World 37-09, which they all did on the 8th of 11th-month.
