some stuff about dragon airspace law and radio visors!

on the differences between the human helms, in descending order: farah's is a pretty standard modern military helmet, nothing special going on there. collar's is an older military model from ~1-2 decades prior that she kept after she deserted and has since modified for better close-quarters protection i.e. it's functionally a football helmet. richas's is also a standard military model but it's like, super top of the line fancy, because he's The Golden Boy and they want him to look pretty for propaganda shoots. on the flipside of that, sinclair's helmet is just made of random shit he put together. it's functional and that's about it.

while the dragon visors shown vary wildly in aesthetics, the actual function of the visor 99% of the time is just radio transmission and reception and the rest is just pure optics (in fact, "visors" as a concept are way more common in military circles, most civilian dragons just use an earpiece+antenna+sign glove and thats it), aside from occasional vision enhancements and the obvious benefit of fire/chemical protection etc. that being said, since spades' visor is built specifically for stealth it's about as tricked-out as they get, which is ironic since sinclair's own helm is so shitty. you can really tell what he was putting the budget into at the time.

im currently working on a google doc containing like, actual info, but until that's slightly more done here's a relationship chart for pre-desertion collar+beowulf and richas+sar'ebru. they had some fascinating shit going on. for cliffnotes context they all grew up together at a military dragonriding school where they were trained for air combat from childhood

new rendition of this including a spur-of-the-moment addition, collar gets a brother! they're physically identical twins except for the difference in eye color. this is unexplained. the vast majority of alcoritrés' human population is mixed so blue/grey eyes (especially ones as light as elijah's) are incredibly rare and thought of as deeply unnerving and even a sign of supernatural misdeeds.
