Profile
Ngaigara Guyanderra
A riftclaw who's lived in the city of New Sydney since escaping an abusive family situation with his younger brother as a teen. He's a quiet but intense person, with a deep dislike of his world's authoritarian governance.
Ngaigara is a member of the Rationale, working for both the research branch and several recon teams as needed. He has a reputation for being competent, but entirely too trigger happy. Most of his work involves figuring out if the atmosphere on the other side of a rift is breathable... But he sure is happy to get involved in the messier aspects of recon. Like shooting monsters. And stealing dangerous chemicals to tinker with later.

Special Abilities
Thaumaturgy Motif: Warped Reality
Ngaigara is a very powerful thaumaturge, using his claws to channel thauma into a variety of void and rift related attacks.
- Gravity Strike - A sharp blow with a limb that channels the force of local gravity into itself, sending the target flying.
- Spot Rift - An attack that opens a small rift to another locale, briefly linking the two places and allowing a target to be thrown through-- or other things to be thrown out at a target.
- Redirect Gravity - An attack that shifts the local gravity of a targeted area in any desired direction.
- Spatial Rend - An attack that opens a long, thin rift through a target, rending it in two.
- Singularity - An attack that opens a micro-rift behind a target, pulling it into the void.
Shapeshifting
Riftclaw Natural Ability
Ngaigara can change his form to match that of any animal organism. He is unable to change his mass or eye colour, and any form he shifts into has similarities to his original form in terms of colours, markings, etc. He cannot maintain a shapeshift form-- including his usual anthropomorphic one-- when asleep or unconscious.
Dimension Jumping
Riftclaw Natural Ability
As a riftclaw, Ngaigara is capable of slicing through reality with his claws, opening doorways into other universes or the empty space between, as well as closing similar rifts. Additionally, his senses are tuned to perceive extra-dimensional energy, allowing him to pinpoint the origin of people or objects from other worlds. This sense presents as a coloured "tint" to a person or object's "aura".
Vehicles
Thistle
A prototype heavy-duty motorbike designed for traversing rough terrain and facilitating jumps through the void. Heavily armoured starsteel on a titanium frame, with thick foam tires to avoid flats and powered by eight entropium cells with a combined battery life of 48 hours. The Thistle was a custom build commissioned from Shale Tenebrach.

Miscellany
Extra
- Like all riftclaws, Ngaigara is an obligate carnivore, but unlike most riftclaws he's very partial to fish and other seafood. His favourite food is salmon steaks, but in almost every situation he'll choose a fish-based option over terrestrial meats.
- Ngaigara's children don't have a mother; he was one of the first people to use the then-experimental cloning technology to commission children of his own. Four of the resulting embryoes were viable, and he quite happily took all four, having wanted a big family from the start.
Relationships
Vic Guyanderra
[ brother ]
Ngaigara's younger brother, who he practically raised after they ran away from home as children. They remain quite close, and since leaving Eclipse Vic has moved back in with Ngai after taking a job with the same branch of the Rationale.
Alina Guyanderra
[ daughter ]
The oldest of Ngaigara's children and the one who takes the most after him; like her father before her, Alina is studying biology and chemistry while considering applying for a Rationale job.
Miri Guyanderra
[ daughter ]
The second-oldest of Ngaigara's children, who's recently moved out of home to pursue a career in journalism. She stays in close contact with the rest of the family over the trawl, and visits every few months.
Neran Guyanderra
[ son ]
Ngaigara's second-youngest still lives at home, with much of his income coming from programming avatars, items and effects for the virtual reality chatrooms accessed via the trawl. He does the bulk of the food prep in the house, since his father and uncle are often home late.
Yindi Guyanderra
[ son ]
Ngaigara's youngest and the most directionless of the four; while Yindi recently moved out, he's struggling to find a career path or sense of purpose within Terran society. Having moved to another country, he mostly keeps in contact over the trawl.
Shale Tenebrach
[ casual partner ]
A blue-tongued lizard who Ngaiara has had an on and off again relationship with over the last decade or so. A gifted inventor and mechanic, Shale created the Thistle and her siblings the Nettle and the Ivy.
Singe
[ protégé ]
A plucky young Astetian who works for the Rationale by retrieving-- or stealing-- anomalous items that have made their way into the market. Singe is often assigned to work along Ngai, who has taken to tutoring him in thaumaturgy in their downtimes.
Vermil Kaiense
[ father ]
Ngaigara's estranged father, who he escaped alongside his younger brother when they were children.
