Tempi

Abandoned as a hatchling and kicked from the cliffs of Light territory, Tempi had a difficult start to his life. His natural deafness, a serious disability in music-focused Banescale culture, had made him an outcast and he had given up hope of finding a place to belong until he was found by Pulse. She took him in and practically raised him herself; the two are as close as siblings and nearly inseparable.

Despite his deafness Tempi has a strong sense of rhythm and metric pulse, which he can feel in music through the created vibrations. He has become skilled at writing with his tail to communicate with other dragons and he and Pulse have slowly been working on creating a form of sign language that doesn't require forearms.

Tempi makes up for his lack of hearing with an extraordinary sense of sight. He is able to pick out tiny details from far distances and notice subtleties and structures that are easily missed. Pulse claims that his eyes can even determine if someone is being truthful, though Tempi refuses to confirm or deny this. He adores the detailed artwork created by Sai and will spend hours looking at a single piece in an attempt to observe every single detail or puzzle out some sort of meaning.


Born in Fire and Flame, Banescale now rise!
Flamecaller’s Children must take to the skies!
If you should fly free, remember our song:
Fly far and fly wide to see the next dawn!
Learn from our failure and join with the world,
Our future, our Flame, flies with you unfurled!
