Zephyrus
"Howl"
Age:
237 years
Gender:
Male
Role: Mentor Dragon
Class:
Air Dragon is first choice, Ice Dragon is Second (I'm not sure what's open)
Appearance:
He has a light shimmer like sparkly snow over all of his scales. His scales are white. He has a long slender body, that is lithe and flexible. It can twist and turn in the air. The hard scales helps the wind slip by him and make him faster. His scales are hard and jagged, but they are small and neat similar to little ice crystals. They are layered in a predictable pattern. He has a large wingspan for his small body. He stands roughly around 15 feet tall at the shoulders. His legs are slender and not as muscular as his strong wing and shoulder muscles.
He has a wide broad head with a few seven inch spikes coming out the back of his head and down his back. His nose is pointed and helps create an aerodynamic body structure. His feet are clawed, and appear similar to a bird of prey. Wickedly sharp and dangerous. They are a steel gray, which appears very similar to the color of swords. His neck is medium and muscular. He can turn his head a good 135 degrees. He has round light sky blue eyes. He has a thick scaled white eyelid, and underneath, he has a secondary clear eyelid, which protects his eyes, but he can see through it.
His wings are leathery and without the protective armor of scales. His tail is long and slender, even though it is strong and acts as a rudder steering the rest of him along. He has four legs. He has sail like tail parts made up of the same leathery stuff as his wings. He has badly disguised ear holes on the side of his head covered by a small flap of skin. He has little claws or a protruding bone on the edge of his wings.

Personality: [Detailed Description]
Solemn, prideful, suspicous, aloof, cold, disdainful, takes everything literally, prickly, doesn't get humor, waspish, confused and clueless
He has a very solemn, severe, harsh demeanor. He uses it to hide his emotions under a very very very deep covering. As a logical dragon, emotions have no place, and they mess logic up. It confuses him, when he thinks one way, but his emotions tell him to do another. He seems to be calm, because he normally maintains a very quiet and still posture. However, his temper bursts forth, and is quite violent comparing to other dragons. He can go from tranquil to almost tearing people's heads off. He is quite intelligent, and he has the ability to be acerbic.
He is very out of place in a group setting. He can begin to feel overwhelmed. He often settles in to become quiet and harshly judges everyone who comes by. He doesn't think that he's a very nice dragon, so he's suspicious of anyone who is nice to him. He expects that everyone is trying to make him look bad, and he hates being humiliated. He doesn't like to be nice to others, so he doesn't understand why someone would want to be nice, especially to him. He almost never tries to get involved unless someone makes him, or he is desperately bored. He puts himself first, and often makes it about him. He goes around with the mindset that he should be taken care of first. He realizes that not everyone is thinking about him.
He is intelligent, even if he is a slow methodical thinker, and not the fastest on his claws. He doesn't care about what others think, including most loved ones, as long as it doesn't restrict where he is allowed to be. He understands societies defintion of justice, but unless something unjust happens to him, he doesn't care about enforcing it. If you gain his respect, you gain his loyalty. He's not afraid to be challenging, and he's in the habit of being argumentative. He prefers to be by himself. He doesn't have to deal with everyone's stupidity, and he doesn't have to pretend to be a nice dragon. Normally, he keeps his thoughts and opinions to himself, but they can be unleashed, if he is given any opening, or loses any control. He holds nothing back until he gets a grip on himself. It's normally all or nothing.
Howl is only impulsive, when he has an unusual excess of emotions. It makes him become unpredictable. This is one of the reasons he keeps his emotions tampered down. When he's not explosive, he's good at planning. Howl likes predictabilty, and knowing what's going to happen. He isn't good at analzying motives, because he would have to understand emotion. Emotion confuses him, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, or understand it. Emotions give information away about himself, and he doesn't like that. He wants to maintain information which gives power to himself.
Howl prefers to be passive, and let things pass by without acting. He doesn't understand why he would want to get involved in something that is not his problem. He avoids asking for help, because he prefers to be independent, and he doesn't trust others. Howl is more curious than he appears, but he tries not to give any hint. Howl could be rebellious, especially if his rider was. Howl is very persistent, and once you get him to commit, it's easy. It is hard to pin him down, because he often doesn't think people are worth his time. Depending on how emotional his rider is, Howl will probably only have a romantic partner that is pretty and well formed, rather than a personality that he admires. He would see it more as a way to pass on his genes rather than something he wants purely for itself. He doesn't get emotionally or romantically attached easily.
Rider:
Maximillian Cantacuzene
Abilities:
Gas Movement
As an air dragon, he has the ability to move the air, particularly the parts that help him breathe, so he can fly higher and more efficiently than other dragons. It's harder to do closer to the ground because the atmosphere is denser, so he probably wouldn't be able to suffocate anyone unless they were high enough to already start having natural issues with breathing and exercising at the same time.
Air Movement
In addition to being able to move gas molecules, he is able to control air currents and cause himself and other flying creatures to fall out of the sky, veer off to one side, or be propelled into the air.
Echolocation
He is very attuned to the sounds that the wind brings him and he can figure out what is going on from far away. The noises he makes can bounce back and he gets information. It helps him be a good hunter and just nosy...which he's not of course. There more objects there are the more muddled and less detailed information he gets. Also distance affects the information he receives.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
Natural Flying Skill
This isn't necessarily an extraordinary ability but he is very comfortable with heights and has a very aerodynamic body so it would be hard to outfly him. He is very agile and flexible.
He has very good eyesight.
He has sharp claws.
He has a resistance to the cold, and he has scales so he is not sensitive to wind. Everything is made of hard scales so he doesn't have to worry about static hair or something similar.
~~~
He does not have a good sense of smell, taste, or a particularly good sense of taste.
He feels out of place on the ground.
He is a smaller dragon than most, and he is not as strong.
He is very bad at socializing and emotions.
He is a slow methodical thinker. (not necessasrily a weakness, but not necessarily a strength)
Water scares him, but if you could teach him to not panic and hold his breath, he'd probably be pretty good at swimming particularly using his wings underwater and his tail to steer.
