Space Dragon
Ancient mind. Alien fire.
Concept: Megaforce’s ancient alien sorceress, infiltrator and team rescuer. As black dust, she slips through walls and commands an enemy’s mind; as a black dragon, she brings armoured bulk and plasma breath. She folds space to extract her allies and fights to avert the universe’s destruction.
Origin: A Celestoid from the Andromeda galaxy, sent to Earth by her Conclave to help Roidarr avert the catastrophe foreseen by the Soothsayers.
Race: Celestoid (Andromedan alien) • Rank: Veteran

Hindrances
- Arrogant (Major): Ancient and brilliant, she dismisses younger beings and seeks to prove her superiority against the greatest opposition.
- Dependency (Major): She needs one hour of unshielded cosmic-ray exposure in each 24 hours. Without it, she takes one level of Fatigue per day until Incapacitated; an hour of proper exposure restores the Dependency Fatigue.

Backstory
Space Dragon is a 3,546-year-old Celestoid sorceress from Andromeda, still considered a novice by her people, whose true name humans cannot comprehend. Her Conclave sent her to help Roidarr prevent the universe’s destruction; from the Soothsayers’ orbital spy satellite she studies the Doomsday Wavefunction, earning Space Giant’s jealousy.
Descended from spacefaring reptiles that learned humanoid form, she feeds on cosmic rays and favours silent infiltration and mental control, revealing her dragon body when force is needed. She fights for lives she knows will be brief, but her arrogance tempts her to treat younger minds as pieces on a board, even when they see what she has missed.
Appearance
Blue skin, silver eyes and shoulder-length black hair. Her black suit and cape frame a red lightning emblem, blue briefs, gold cuffs and a broad gold belt. Her mist form is a drifting cloud of black dust. Her dragon form has black scales, a dark belly, short curved horns, red eyes and broad wings.
