+1: a new player, a magical veterinarian, and a wolverine

Hello all. New player here! I go by Bear, and it's been a long time since I actively RP'd, so I'm very excited to get back into a game.

The character I'm bringing in is Pod, from a kind of obscure series by author Joanne Bertin that's usually called the Dragonlord series. The titular characters are weredragons, and really do turn into giant fire-breathing scaly beasts. (It's a good series, and I recommend reading it.)

Pod is not a weredragon, as awesome as they are. She's a Beast Healer (apprentice, but shh) which is exactly what it sounds like, and with all the animal companions in this game, I'm sure she'll get a lot of practice with her craft. She's in Seelie, but where there are hurt or ill beasts, so she shall go! She's capable of both magical and mundane healing techniques and will even order a dragon around if he or she is hurt. She's also spunky and good-natured and very brave. And more than a little mischievous.

Coming in with Pod is her brother-in-fur (also called a familiar), Kiga. They share a magical bond, essentially making him her spirit animal, and Kiga is very protective of his person. He's also a 50 lb plus, fully wild wolverine. Generally, he's well behaved! But he's also paranoid and likely to be grumpy, because he and Pod are coming into the game after an unfortunate separation that ended with Pod getting chased around a cursed forest by a possessed murderer for several days and nearly killed. As a note, for a little while, Pod will call him a "woods dog" (or ghulon, or wolvering) in speech, at least until she learns that 'wolverine' is the local word. And she'll probably always call him a woods dog in her internal monologue.

If you'd like to know more about Pod, her info post is here, (the canon info section does have spoilers) along with HMD and a permissions post.

The last is especially important because Pod and Kiga have some powers that could potentially step on toes (probably the most likely is Kiga's ability to sense dark magic), and I'd love to know which characters her healing magics would actually work on.

Lastly, I have a plurk at [plurk.com profile] naturalcyber if anyone wishes to add me.
