Caelum Ignis Draconigena

Note for visitors: Anyone can visit, wander the park area he's cleaning/cleaned or wander around the greenhouse when it's been restored. The outbuilding/smithy will be locked, as will his personal areas unless he's in them. See the tracking post, for current greenhouse posts. Not currently planning a post outside of fabulae_victoriana for rp in the greenhouse, but it will be noted here if that changes.

Current Park Section Status - Most current status at the top. Picture references of the restored grounds and greenhouse at bottom.


April 28 to May 5th 2019 or so. - The Greenhouse has been barricaded and boarded up. Temporally turned into a safe house/bunker during the Blasphemous Beltane. There's stations set up with supplies, and even if it's rather unpleasant and gloomy with all that's going on... the walls hold. Skyfire is in and out via several removed panels in the roof, but that's the only way in. People may leave through the one way door, but they can't enter through it.

April 27th 2019 - Park and Greenhouse slowly being cleaned and repaired by Skyfire
Greenhouse: Still somewhat damaged, but no longer an overgrown, filthy mess. The glass has been replaced, the floors patched and the supports reinforced. Very much empty at this point in time, but Skyfire has accumulated a small collection of personal things... mostly books. There are stacks of supplies for redoing the interior all over the place inside the greenhouse, still a work in progress.
Park area: Dead trees remain but the branches have been cleaned up, the grass is still choked with weeds, but he's removed or moved the dangerous plants. Paths are still eroded and broken. Pond has been cleaned of debris, but is still rather disgusting looking. Ground is uneven and rocky in places as well.
Outbuilding and Smithy: No change as of yet. The roof is solid and the interior is dusty but mostly undamaged. Smithy needs to be cleaned up and scaled up for Skyfire's size as well as made safe for use, but the stone is in fairly good condition aside from some cracks, vines and moss.

Jan 7th 2019 - Park and Greenhouse found by Skyfire
Greenhouse: A damaged, overgrown, filthy mess. Broken glass, rotted plant matter and debris inside, smells terrible, floors need patching and repairs, structure itself is sound but needs some reinforcement and patching to prevent future issues.
Park area: Dead trees and branches everywhere, bare and patchy grass choked with weeds and dangerous plants. Paths are eroded and broken. Pond is stagnant and filled debris. Ground is uneven and rocky in places as well.
Outbuilding and Smithy: Not nearly as damaged as the greenhouse. The roof is still solid and the interior is dusty but mostly undamaged. Smithy needs to be cleaned up and scaled up for Skyfire's size as well as made safe for use, but the stone is in fairly good condition aside from some cracks, vines and moss.

The Information/Pictures below are for the restored state of the Greenhouse and section of park. Will be updated as Skyfire repairs the area.

(Not quite as shown in pictures for obvious reasons.) For size reference, the outbuilding is the size of a large barn and Skyfire can fit into it fairly comfortably to work on projects. Items inside are scaled up for his size, not human use.

For most of his information go see his original MLJJ App here.
Please note: Skyfire is getting a memory wipe for Adventures in Equestria, so he won't remember any of his previous CR. That said, he will remember people eventually after spending time with them. (With OOC approval of course.)

Character Information
Character Name: Skyfire
Fandom: Transformers G1 AU

Appearance: He's big... but not overly giant. While he's a rather long at 30 some feet, a fair deal of that is tail. From 'nose to rear' minus the tail, he's about 19 feet. While Skyfire is about 5 times longer that a 6 foot person, he would need both 'paws' to have a secure hold on them.

Measurements for length. Head: 3 feet, Neck: 6 feet, Body from shoulder to rump: about 10 feet, Tail: 11 feet. Wingspan: about 50 feet?

World: The general specifics of the world is that it's a mix of the G1 Transformers cartoon and our Earth's history for dates and places. Granted, most of the cartoon history doesn't apply as it either takes place before the war started or in a time frame not covered by the show.

Character History:

Skyfire as a dragon AU history in progress...

Caelum ignis draconigena

The story starts out close to the original G1 cartoon history... and branches from there. Skyfire ends up with a dragon form. Sort of similar to the Beast Wars series... Though that never happens in this au, and he never meets any of those characters.

- Crashes on Earth, but his scanners activate in an attempt to keep him alive.

- He ends up scanning a dragon and changing his alt mode

- He's still buried in ice, but revives on his own since his alt mode changes his systems a bit.

- While he is still Cybertronian, his body has been altered to fit the 'biology' of a dragon better.

- Eating metal will help him repair himself and sunlight is used to help power him.

- Skyfire wakes up before the Autobots do... Several hundred years before... Somewhere around the 1500's.

- Having to adapt to the alien planet, he eventually seeks out humans and befriends some of them. They have no idea he's really mechanical and he has no idea that there are other Cybertronians that have crashed while he was under the ice .
