" He's a hunter. The kind that paralyzes his prey when he's done having his fun in the chase. Then slowly he strips you bare of skin, sinew, and tissue until you're a little more than just bone but keeping you alive just enough so you are present enough to feel it all. "

This male can be described as a good looking dragon. He has a very robust, yet slightly sharpened features. His features gives him an almost wise and dignified appearance about him. On his head are many spikes and a pair of ornate horns, and a set of smaller ones. He has a total of four on his head. They are black in color, and the first two are long in length, being 7 inches in length and 5 inches apart on his head. The two smaller ones are more curved and have a slight spiralling formation. Along his jaw line are 4 spikes along them, they are long and sharp. They can be used to slash or hurt someone if needed. These spikes are a mixture of inky black and a bit of purple. His face is more crocodile like in appearance, with an enlonged muzzle with more crooked ridges and gaps. Within his mouth he has dozens of sharp teeth. They are D-shaped teeth which progressively narrows, shortens, and became more curved as they grew from the back of the mouth. They have saw-like, serrated edges and were continually shed and replaced. Much like shark teeth. He uses them effectively when hunting, they are perfectly crafted to pierce through flesh , cut through things , and clasp down chunks of meat or an enemy. He can and will use his teeth to establish his dominance, whether it be by clicking them together as a warning, baring them at you, or giving a remprimanding nip. On his nose he has rough ridges where small spikes sprout and stops just before his eyes. There he has what can be described as "horn-brows." These brows are small curved horns that others teases are lashes. And on his nose he has sharp, pointed nostrils which have small protective spikes on them and he has one large curved horn between the nostrils. On his chin he has several spikes which range in length which appear like a "beard" and they are long and can be used for impaling someone ot something. His scales are rough and bumpy, yet in some areas like his stomach, they are much more softer. Much like a cat, he won't expose his belly unless he is absolutely comfortable with you.

This male can be descriped as having reptilian eyes. His eyes are the brightest things about him. His eyes being a reddish-orange color, the mixture of colors almost reminding one of molten lava. If you can look closer you can see the delicate copper appearing veins and lines within them. His eye slits are vertical, but they have a slight triangle appearing curve. They can seem to remind someone of a snake-like appearance. This dragon's pupil can close to a narrow, slit-like aperture in bright light, while opening to a full, circular pupil to allow maximum light collection in the dark. This is known as a stenopeic pupil, common among certain lizard species (i.e. the Tokay Gecko). So, he can hunt both during the day and at night, though he tends to hunt mostly at night and in the dim light of dawn and dusk. Bright sunlight means that it is time for one of his favorite activites which is basking. He has an eyelid that cleans and protect his eyes whenever he blinks. if one watches him, he can be seen using his tongue to lick his eyeballs at time. Although sensitive to changes in light, it cannot form images. By detecting light and dark it allows him to detect the movement of other dragons and humans. Sometimes referred to as "pineal eye" or "third eye", it it visible as an opalescent gray spot on the top of some dragon's heads, and this male has one of them. It is common of reptiles and he has gained this attribute.

This male is of massive stature, standing in at 23 feet in height, and weighting in at a hefty weight of nearly 5,100 pounds. His body composition can be described as muscular and stocky, one showing that he is a powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with. He has well proportioned body, with a large chest that he likes to have puffed out and walk with a strut showing off his flexing muscules. He as a thick hide, one that isn't easy to tear or bite into. His body though large, he has a flexible back and his thick and muscular tail to help him have good bascule. He is quite fast despite his cumbersome size and can turn rather quickly, but of couse smaller and more agile creatures can make it quite hard for him to keep up. However, he can and use his tail to knock them over if they become too annoying or wants to get done with this rather quickly. He has 4-digit toes and 'paws' which helps her 'grab' and 'hold' things. And sprouting from these digits are terrifying eagle-like talons. They are varying in depth and length with his hallux talon being the longest of her talons and her inner and middle talon being the same length and outer talon being the shortest one. His hallox talon being 6 inches, his outer and middle talon being 4 inches, and outer talon being 3.5 inches. These talons are sharp and hooked being able to crush, tear, stab his prey or fend off anything that annoys him.

One might assume just from his more condescending glances or haughty tone that he's an airhead who's full of himself. Those are quite common and ordinary. While he's not necessarily arrogant, he does have a certain look at me attitude, even if it's just their vaguely. He does care a lot about himself, and it can be seen as selfish or vain, but he isn't on that level of self indulgent. He just wants to put himself first for the first time in his life, he finds it easier to do this then let himself be taken advantage of again or lower his guard. While he may lazily amble about at times and just seem to be harmless looking over others, he's actually gathering information . Surprisingly he's quite intelligent, both mentally and emotionally. He knows how to play his cards right, and how to monopolize off a situation. If one could hear his mind they would find it is always thinking non-stop: assessing threats, finding allies, figuring out how to make things better or worse for someone. His thoughts show his cunning and wits if his words and mannerisms didn't, and sometimes just for fun he likes to act as if he's dim witted just to catch others off guard. After all , it's no fun if everyone is cautious around you because they know what you can do.

This young male always seems stern and serious, always with a impassive face or a scowl of displeasure. He may even appear soulless and full of himself, but he let others think that. To find him you must agin truly understand him. Those who he allows to get close to him are few. He wants and desires true friends but many won't take the time out to get him. However, once they get through his many layers and masks they can see many things buried at his core locked away. He's an asshole and acts as if he doesn't care for anyone because he actually does care. He inwardly worries about others daily, though he won't admit it out loud. He's sarcastic and uses dark humor instead of his light humor because he feels others won't take him seriously or think of him as another goofball. He's critical and analyzes others , not because he wants to prove he's superior but because he's naturally observant . Also, he finds himself opening up to the wrong folks and he wants to guard his own heart. His true friends will know that all he wants is to talk and be mischievous with them. If if finds a small group of friends, you can bet your ass he's going to be loyal to them. They are his ride or does and partners for life. He would never betray them, and you better damn well know he'd kick someone's ass about and for them. If you mess with him, that's fine he'll just tell you off but don't ever mess with friends or family because that's one way to surely set of his bad side. His siblings are precious to him no matter how much he may bully or annoy the , only he can do that. They are his idiots, retards , dummies or any other derogatory name he may call them, only he can do that. If he ever had a little sister tell him some boy was being mean to her he doesn't care how big or little creature is he's kicking someone's ass. Family and friends are important to him and they are his lifeline . He may be ass but he's an ass with a sense of honor in his veins.

Thoughts on Everything: He is not an easily angered dragon, but he is angry. Tek will not usually kill those who threaten him -- for this, though, he will. And he'll enjoy it.

He is a massive dragon. With a height of 20 feet at the shoulders and a length double that, Shoteka is an intimidating creature. His body is lean but muscular, and his build is one made for battle. Shoteka has no exceptional boost in agility or strength; rather, he stands solidly in the middle, able to use either to his advantage to some degree.

His body scales are a liquid silver in color: titanium. In the light, the shadows on them become a pitch black while they reflect a somewhat dulled white. They are small and tightly knit together, much like a snakeskin, with size gradually increasing into sharp, paired ridges along his back and neck that are a circular-edged diamond shape. Tek's head, half of his tail, and up to his hocks and knees are black with a cobalt tinge, and these gradient into his main scaling. They have less shine to them, though they are still sleek in appearance.

His head hosts fanning, none of which are very long. Two rows of small protruding spikes become progressively longer as they travel up Shoteka's long, handsome, regal face, starting from his snout. They meld in with his fans, of which he has several short, defined spikes.

Each of the latter is pointed away from his face in a streamlike way. A thin sheet of metallic skin stretches between them. These frills frame his face, starting at his cheekbones and curving around to the back of his skull. Two longer spikes protrude in line with his eyes. These, too, have flaps connecting them to the main crown, though they are set just behind the smaller frill. They appear more as horns than a second layer of frill, and they are not connected to one another.

His eyes are like sapphires. Their coloring is amplified by a lack of shine in the scales around his eyes. They shift colors like the cut gemstone, ranging from a deep aqua to piercing electric blue depending on the angle from which they are viewed. Tek always carries a deep, brooding, intelligent look in his brilliant orbs, which are also the only way he really expresses emotion. Shoteka is a smexy dragon, even if his face does not change much.

Long, muscular legs and an equally strong tail provide him with speed, balance, and quick maneuvering when in the air. His claws are a duller black in coloration, as are the spines along his tail and his dewclaws. He is built in a way that allows him to cross land terrain with relative ease, though he has to tuck in his front legs when he flies.

Shoteka's wings are monstrous. They are also a black gradient into the titanium base, and they have strong yet pliable ribbing. The skin in between is covered in miniscule scales, much like a butterfly, that resists tearing impressively well and is light enough to catch even the slightest draft. Being the kind of dragon he is, though, Tek is not likely to be found flying outside of a volcanic domain.

Personality

Shoteka is a scarily smart creature. His mind works quickly, and there are few problems he cannot solve if he works on them long enough. He focuses on the big picture of things and then works down to the threads of the smallest details of the inner workings of each functioning element. He is very invested in his tasks and will not move away from them unless they are completed in full.

His attention to detail makes it hard for him to not find fault with things, which in turn puts him in a position in which he is curt and rather blunt. If he knows how to fix something, he will share that information and move on. Tek will hold back from speaking at times, but when he does speak, his words are honest and to the point.

The silver dragon is not one of the hot-blooded of his kind. Rather, he is extremely aloof. A loner, Tek prefers to work on his various projects away from others and keeps to himself. His feelings are never spoken of, nor are they ever really expressed in any way.

Besides his tendency to avoid socializing, Shoteka is a fairly even-tempered dragon. His time spent dealing with stormy-tempered storm dragons has extended his tolerance of idiocy and his patience, though he will make it very clear if a dragon is annoying him and testing the latter. He is much gentler in his words to dragonets and hatchlings; he expects adult behavior from adults.

Shoteka's favorite pasttime is crafting. He fashions weapons, armor, jewelry, sculptures, tools, gadgets,... the list goes on. As of late, though, he has been trading lots of armor. Not everyone is blessed with titanium-colored skin, after all. ;) Sharpened, metal claw covers, spiked tail wraps, and needlepoint horn tips are his weapons.

The vast majority of his jewelry creations host blue gems, as that is the main one that he can create. Diamonds, onyx stones, rubies, and other precious minerals are rarer, but he uses them occasionally. Jewelry is more what he does when he gets bored, but it is quite ornate.

Tek is a quieter individual, but he is stoic, loyal, and will not back down from a calling. He respects those who deserve it and looks down on those who don't. While this dragon is more secluded, his mannerisms are regal and he speaks and acts like the majestic creature he is.

Abilities

His hide is extremely tough. While it is not made of metal, it is hard to penetrate, which gives him an advantage when crafting and battling. It also allows him to regulate his temperature quite well, as heat or cold take longer to seep through. However, because of his built-in armor, he has to work harder to fly. He will tire more quickly than other, lighter dragons.

Being struck by lightning externally does not affect him. If he were to get hit in the mouth or in an open wound or something, then there would be consequences.

Thoughts on Everything: She's been led to believe -- or threatened, really, as has each clan -- that bad things will happen if the deviant clan is not eradicated. As far as she knows, they've done terrible things and have put everyone else in danger. So, she obeys, but not without hesitancy. She hates the sacrifices. So much. One thing she knows for certain: her gods have been twisted, skewed, and warped. Are they evil? Or is their goodness being marred by mortals?

WIP by me.

Appearance

Deirdre is by no means a small creature, standing 16 feet at the shoulder and boasting the lithe but well-muscled build typical of fire dragons. Her powerful wings are set atop a sleek body; her long legs and tail are a bonus towards her agility both on land and in the air, though, with her size, her version of land agility may look cumbersome to smaller creatures, dragons and humans alike.

Deirdre is a beautiful red with orange and yellow sheens to her scales. Underneath her eyes, bright orange-yellow dots frame her cheekbones. Two twisting, black and red horns are stationed above tufted ears; a ridge of obsidian spines runs from the center of her forehead all the way down her back and through the end of her tail, which has a tuft of its own at the tip. Large, golden eyes are set in a regally shaped head. Her long canines slightly protrude at the corners of her muzzle, though her mouth extends far beyond them. Her nostrils and cranial ridge provide a slight dish to her otherwise unsloped face.

Deirdre's wings are large and the same color as the rest of her body, except for the "elbows" at the very top, which gradient to black. Two wickedly hooked claws rest atop the bends. When she folds her wings, they overlap in a small "x" over the beginning of her tail and stick out to the sides a little ways. She is careful to keep them near her when on the ground; they have a habit of getting in the way of everything.

She carries herself with the regal air befitting a dragon, though it is in no way pompous. It's hard to not look regal when you tower over everyone and everything. Really, it's more of a slow walk to avoid crushing people underfoot. Her strides are long and poised; her tail weaves back and forth with each step and curls slightly at its resting position. Deirdre smells like a fire raging in a pine forest. It is not an unpleasant smell; the smoke is just a part of being a fire-breathing reptile. Were the smoky scent to go away, she would smell of dogwood, ponderosa, and spruce.

Personality

Deirdre is not an outgoing creature, but she is not mean, either. Her mannerisms are indifferent. She comes across as quite a serious individual because of this, and it is not a misrepresentation. She is serious. Deirdre's sense of humor is either literal or sarcastic; innuendos go straight over her head. Her mind is a logical one: she sees the big picture as well as the small details, but emotion does not usually get in the way. When it does, though, things become very... gray. She hates that.

Deirdre is level-headed, steady, and to the point. She sees no benefit to beating around the bush on things. She gets her jobs done and that's that. Deirdre is reasonable in most cases, and she is attracted to facts over opinion, though she will listen to, and take into consideration, both. She is not a tempest to be harnessed; the world may change, but Deirdre will stay Deirdre.

Her territorial side can come out over a number of things: ideas, other dragons, actual territory, food,... The list goes on. She will become quite protective over the things and dragons she cares about and will not hesitate to kill or injure, whether physically or emotionally, anyone who attempts to cross her. Obviously, she knows how to share and how to play nice. She picks her battles carefully; if there is no hope of her winning, she will put it off to fight another day.

Deirdre does not trust others, nor does she bend down to anyone without thought. Everything she does is thought out, which leads to heated internal debates on many subjects. She may be swayed to one side or the other, but reasoning is a must. Pathos is rarely involved. When little ones are involved, though, she bends to their will. They're just too precious.

Outside of being a sucker for hatchlings, Deirdre is an intimidating dragon. Her mannerisms, her aloofness, her size, and her aggression all tie into this. An angry Deirdre is hellish for everyone; her motto is, if she can't win a fight, she'll at least throw a blow bad enough to make her opponent regret battling. She takes a shrewd satisfaction in that. Deirdre is fairly patient, but plenty of things get on her nerves very quickly. While she may not blow up over all of them, an irritated glance or a snide comment will show up early on.

Abilities

As a fire dragon, she is impervious to fire and can withstand incredibly hot temperatures. Her body temperature is always elevated, allowing her to hold out through cold spells as well, though these make her exceptionally cranky and she will give out eventually if left in such conditions.

She has extremely hot fire breath that, when it has been stored up for a few days, will unleash one breath's worth of a burst of white flame that is extra hot. It's only good for one shot, and after using that, her regular fire is pretty pitiful for the rest of the day.

Strengths

Level-Headed -- Fair -- Agility -- Endurance -- Trustworthy -- Scarcasm -- Self-Reliant

Weaknesses

Hangry -- Not Trusting -- Easily Annoyed -- Brute Strength -- Prolonged Speed -- Teamwork

Control -- Violent Weather -- Lack of Company -- Adventuring -- Flying -- Pyromaniac

Arrogance -- Seafood -- Raw Meat -- Lukewarm Weather -- Too Much Social Interaction -- The Unknown -- Being Bossed Around -- Cold
