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 anyone coming here for his info, the rough history for him is here and a 'rough app' for general info is here. They're old, but the broad strokes are there. Information on where he's decided to settle within the city is over here.

Opt out post is here if you don't want me to tag your character with him.
I'm backtag friendly and I don't mind slow tags. Please, poke me if I don't reply to a tag and you want to continue! I sometimes miss things due to the odd stacking of alerts in my e-mail.

IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Skyfire
Canon: Transformers G1 AU
OU/AU/OC: AU
Canon Point: A couple hundred years after he's woken up in his dragon shape. Long before the G1 cartoon series.
History: Before the war and before the factions of Autobot and Decpticon were even considered, Skyfire and Starscream were explorers and scientists that were charting a new planet. Much like the cartoon premise Skyfire crashed and was trapped in ice, while Starscream didn't and left to return to Cybertron.

That's where the similarities end though.

Unlike in the cartoon, Skyfire's scanners were damaged and activated, creating an attempt to blend into the new environment that caused an unexpected reaction. Unable to find any mechanical items to scan, the scanners went for the only thing even remotely close to his size and shape to scan... A dragon.
