Preferred Name:
Val. Just Val.

Nicknames:
Valentine, but it's said by his close friends. Val hates this nickname yet endures it to make his friends happy. He has no idea why they called him this, considering he has little idea what romance, let alone flirting, is. The man can't even speak without fumbling his words.
Little Sheep, due to his shy nature towards anyone or anything that enters his life. It's jokingly said that some of his words sound like a sheep's baa when he stutters, which helped create such a nickname.
Angel Face was given to him by those attracted by his beauty. This is used to compliment him, yet again, Val hates this nickname since it draws too much attention. He can't walk for a few minutes without someone calling him out with this cursed nickname.

Human Appearance:

[credits to Mano! @ picrew.me]

Valente's aura is strangely light and comforting, with no sense of hostility in it. Some state that it feels like you're being lovingly embraced, as if a pair of arms are hugging you affectionately. His face always has an anguish appearance, even when alone. In public, it's even worse, as his cheeks would always have a red pigmentation to them. He has the presence of a loving guardian, one that many want to be around. Those he's close with, he'll stare at them with tenderness and assurance, his body unknowingly relaxing. Val's aura tends to draw the ones wanting an escape from drama, giving them a break from needless stress. Able to soothe anyone from their rage or lighten one's sullied spirits. He doesn't mind them being close as long as they don't touch or try to start a conversation with him, preferring to hang out with people quietly. This dude is a complete angel, with his anger seeming nonexistent. Rarely he gets upset unless someone says something insulting to him or those he's close with. When that happens, his entire demeanor will shift into something much darker.

His body is a hulking form of muscles, the texture of his skin smooth to the touch, with little to no skin bumps of any kind on it. The color of his skin is a beautiful shade of brown. He has one singular tattoo that covers his shoulders, arms, behind his neck, and back. While partially covering the sides of his neck (his throat untouched by ink) and chest (leaving the stomach uninked). Val focuses on physical strength, only lifting weights or exercising when he's away from the eyes of others. He'll be too self-conscious about people teasing him about how he works out, so he prefers training in isolation. He has a broad chest, and beneath it is a visible eight-pack with no sign of body hair on either. He has rounded, well-formed shoulders, seemingly carved by a master sculptor. Under said shoulders are a set of sturdy arms with curvaceous muscles, his veins somewhat exposed when he relaxes his arms. More of his veins will show when he's using his body in extreme physical cases, like lifting weights or carrying something. His body is detailed to the brim from the neck down. Honestly, he should be a sports player or a model. Val's back is a beautiful canvas for onlookers, with the addition of dimples on his lower back. His legs are robust from the hip down as he never skips leg day. Each time he walks, you can see the power in his steps. Or you would if expressed confidence in his stance for once. With his figure, he's specialized in strength, durability, and stability, making him a fearsome opponent to face in battle. However, he has limited stamina and slow than those trained in those skills, so anyone can outrun or last longer than him. With his appearance, he accidentally scares people who don't know much about him, with them seeing him as an intimidating person to approach, and it doesn't help that his height is 6'2 either. Once they know him more, he'll be viewed as a cuddly bear.

His face is mesmerizing to both men and women, being beautiful to the men and handsome to the women. His face is the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, not leaning heavily to either side. He has a calm, approachable, and relentless face. His cheekbones are partially exposed, his cheeks a healthy gaunt, leaving a straight slope down to the jaw. He has a narrow forehead, and his temples are somewhat evident. Val's face is magnetizing, with many can't help but stare, yet some people are unphased by it. His face is triangular, with the top half of his head wide than the lower. Those who adore his facial appearance nicknamed him Angel Face, which makes him even more bashful each time he hears it. His jawline is free of facial hair, underneath said jaw being a strapping throat with the addition of an Adam's apple. He has upturned dark blue eyes, with his gaze alone able to soothe one's soul. His eyebrows are average and well-groomed, with a sharp downward arch to the outer brows. His nose is small and straight and has a lowered tip, his nostrils on the narrow side. Val's ears are circular, with small holes along his ears from multiple earrings. His face is free of scaring, but he has one singular beauty mark under his lips.

Lastly, he has a lovely set of ashen brown hair that reflects beautifully under lighting. His hair is softer than silk itself, able to glide your fingers through it without struggle. Val's hair is always in preem condition, with his locks smelling of tropical coconut, coconut milk, and Tiare flowers. His hair is medium-length, reaching a few inches past his shoulders, and the type of it is 2a. When he's busy doing something, he'll tie his hair into a ponytail or messy bun to keep it out of his eyes. When Val is relaxing or doing minor activities, Val will let his hair free. However, he's been considering cutting his hair shorter, but he's too shy to ask anyone for aid.

Relationship Status?:
This boy is single, and he's staying that way. To those wanting to confess to him, I wish you good luck. In his mind, when you mean going out on a date, he thinks it's hanging out. . .like what friends do. So, yes. You'll be friend-zoned (sibling-zoned if he loves you enough), hard.

Crushes:
Yeah. He doesn't know what it feels like to have a crush. He'll blush at anyone that communicates, let alone breathe around, with him. If Valente's heart beats around someone he unknowingly has a puppy love for, he'll panic, believing he's getting a heart attack.

Significant Others:
If you managed to date him, then you deserve a damn crown.

Exes:
What exes? This man has never been in a relationship his entire life.

Rider

Name: Linnea Eosir

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Biromantic asexual, with a lean towards males

Team: Silver Fangs

Role: Member

Appearance:

Linnea is a well-built woman who is roughly 5 foot 7 inches tall. She has broad shoulders and narrow hips resulting in an inverted triangle body shape. She has toned arm and leg muscles, but is a bit softer in her torso and abdomen. Her hands are heavily calloused from sports and combat, with short, strong, fingers and nails absently chewed short. Linnea’s body is marked with a few tattoos. On the back of her left calf is a fairly large, yet somewhat stylized rendition of her dragon, Cathix. Her right shoulder blade bears a detailed black and white ram skull facing towards the observer, while her upper left arm has a band of rolling waves in indigo and pine. Finally, the inside of Linnea’s right forearm bears the stylized version of a horse’s head in the side profile, and is somewhat abstract.

Linnea is naturally pale, with porcelain skin that tends to burn rather than tan. Her face is lightly freckled, with a few freckles also appearing across the tops of her shoulders. Her face would be best described as oval, with a rounded chin and somewhat wide cheekbones. Linnea has a typically straight nose and a thin mouth that sometimes seems to be made of pink quartz. She rarely smiles with teeth, and has a bit of a resting bitch face. Her eyes are round, with the outer ends hooded slightly by her eyelids. The irises are a striking golden brown that appears amber in the right light. The eyebrows above are only slightly arched, and are comparatively thick. Finally, Linnea has dark auburn hair with caramel undertones. Her thick locks are straight and when unbound hang a few inches below her shoulders. Normally she keeps the sides of her head buzzed, and the rest of her hair in a series of thick braids that can be either left down or coiled into a bun at the top of her head.

Personality:

Linnea, or Lin as she is sometimes called, is a total perfectionist. Everything she tries she must master, and any competition she enters she has to win. While many perfectionists struggle with feelings of insecurity and thoughts of not being good enough, Linnea is brimming with confidence. She takes great joy in challenging herself to always learn more and to be better. When she is bested honestly, Linnea is a gracious loser who will congratulate the victor and attempt to learn from them so that she might win next time. Beating her in a competition is also a great way to earn her respect, assuming you don’t cheat. Linnea abhors foul play of any kind, whether in combat or in sports. She hates people who cheat or use fighting techniques she views as dirty or unfair. Throughout her life, Linnea has always had a strong moral code and tried to compete and fight with honor. Additionally, she has a hard time relaxing and being playful, with most of her free time taken up by hobbies that result in self-improvement. She particularly loves swimming and sparring, but is also known to pick up an educational book or two that correlates with a topic she’s interested in, typically subjects like dragon biology or botany. When it comes to working in teams, Linnea will always pull her weight, although she struggles with knowing when to help others and can be reluctant to cover what she sometimes perceives as someone else’s laziness. Overall she reacts poorly when expectations and situations change without warning.

She is generally aloof when it comes to new people, and only befriends those who have earned it through their actions. When she is your friend however, Linnea is incredibly loyal. She’ll defend you in word and deed, and keep your secrets to her grave. She does have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to her friends however, being unlikely to tell them when they do something wrong, and defending them even when she knows they’re on the wrong side of an issue. Finally, Lin hates pranks and practical jokes with a passion. She doesn’t react much to verbal jokes or insults, but turning her white laundry pink or passing her sugar when she asks for salt are good ways to get your bones broken.

Crush: Valente, for some reason all her confidence goes out the window when it comes to trying to tell him how she feels. It doesn't help that she does her best to convince herself that her romantic thoughts about him are only a passing fling, out of fear of ruining their friendship as well as being terrified of the distraction a boyfriend would provide. Beyond the physical, Linnea is attracted to his calm and loyal nature, and finds his bashfulness and timidity both adorable and endearing.

Significant Other:

Linnea doesn’t really have time for romantic relationships, and while she tells herself it’s better to stay single, that doesn’t mean she’d say no if the right person asked.

Exes: TBD, feel free to pm me

Kin:

She’s an only child, coming from a middle class family of merchants and sailors. Her mother Adelaide manages the finances of the family business, while her father Matteo transports the cargo on his ship, Vocate Abyssi.

Other Affiliations: WIP

Rome' ar Dee: Linnea doesn't know her very well, and has not interacted with her much in the past few years at the academy.

Neo Lennox: As with Rome' ar, Linnea has had minimal contact with him and has no strong feelings about him beyond what comes from knowing that he is affiliated with the Red Scars.

Margot Albrecht: With their similarly intense focus and unwavering committment to excellence, it's not surprise that Linnea and Margot get along well. Linnea respects her Captain greatly, and enjoys challenging her to friendly competitions that both women ultimately end up taking a bit too seriously.

Kaden Dassault: Linnea lowkey hates him. He hurt Margot, and she will never forgive him for that. Even while the two were dating, Kaden's argumentative and possessive demeanor bothered Linnea, though she never said anything for Margot's sake.

Leovandohr Casteron:

Valente Benedictus: Linnea immediately liked Valente for his kind and honest demeanor, and when Margot stepped in as his protector Linnea was happy to back her up. She enjoys working out with Valente on the rare occasions he lets her, whether as a sparring partner, spotter during weight lifting, or acting as a running buddy.

Athelardus Vermithrax: Linnea was attracted to him right up until he opened his mouth. She liked his confident attitude and athleticism, but it didn't take long to learn his full reputation from others. Now whenever Linnea is forced to interact with him she is blunt and cold, already primed not to trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.

Dragon

Name: Canium Cathix (cane-ee-um kuh thiks), generally just goes by Cathix

Age: 17

Gender: Nonbinary, they/them pronouns

Class: Speed

Appearance:

Cathix is a fairly medium-sized dragon, standing at 16 feet tall. Their build is lithe and leanly muscled, built for speed rather than strength. Cathix has a very aerodynamic and serpentine form, with their length being about 45% tail and 30% neck. Their tail narrows to a point at the end, and can be used rather like a whip to draw blood or snatch things out of the air. A short, dull black fin regularly interspersed with sky blue spines for support runs from the crown of their head to the tip of their tail, and can be flattened at will or as a signal for Cathix’s mood. The crest is tallest at the head and shoulders, and shortest at the end of the tail. Cathix has fairly short legs and stands rather low to the ground, with each foot ending in four forward-facing claws and one sideways-facing claw, all curved like scimitars. Cathix’s scales range from a glossy ebony to blinding ivory, and are arranged in a gradient that is darkest at the spine and head and lightest at the belly. The scales themselves are in the shape of a rounded triangle, and interlock with little overlap in order to give the appearance and flexibility of snakeskin. Most are unmarred, but there are a few scars on their belly and legs leftover from fights. They also have a prominent white scar on the right side of their snout behind their nostrils.

Like the rest of them, Cathix’s head is sleek and snakelike, perfect for flying into the wind with little resistance. They have a pair of thin nostril slits on the end of their snout, but primarily smell by flicking their forked tongue out to collect scents and bringing them back in to a sensory organ. The tongue is a dull black, and is surrounded by serrated white teeth on both the upper and lower jaws except for a gap at the front of the mouth, which is flanked by two great fangs on the roof of her mouth. None of the teeth protrude when Cathix’s mouth is closed. Cathix’s eyes are on the sides of their head, giving them nearly 360 degree vision, and are slightly forward and below the start of the spinal crest. The irises are a vivid cerulean blue, and surround black slitted pupils. The eyes themselves are oval-shaped. A bit behind the eyes are the ears, which are simple holes with a membranous frill resting over them reminiscent of the dorsal fin. They can control the frills so that they spread to the sides of their head to make them appear bigger. Finally, on either side of the spinal frill are two long, gently curving horns. The horns mirror the curve of their neck, and taper to sharp black points. The rest of the horns are the same color as the claws, the yellow-white of old bones. Last but not least is Cathix’s most eye-catching feature, their wings. Around 100 feet when fully spread, the wings are a soft gray color on the membranes and an almost-black indigo blue on the bony framework. The elbow joints of the wings are each topped with a small hornlike protrusion the same sky blue as the spines of the neck frill. No matter where they are, Cathix always smells faintly of metal and snow.

Personality:

Cathix can best be described as a loner. They’re happiest soaring the skies as high up as can be, looking down on the world as it flies by. They love seeing new landscapes and challenging themselves to hunt the most dangerous prey of each. While Cathix loves a challenge, they can get frustrated easily if their initial efforts don’t seem to bear fruit. Their preferred method of operations is to scout the terrain first, cataloging any useful or dangerous areas before zeroing in on the target. Depending on the target, they may use one of two strategies from there: ambush the target when it’s in an open area by diving from a height that makes the dragon seem tiny, and either pick it up and drop it or slash at it with claws and fangs; or method two, chase the target towards a prepared trap, harrying it with their claws before letting the trap finish it off. Depending on what is available to Cathix this trap may be a cliff, box canyon, well-placed boulders, quicksand, allied forces, or any number of things.

Based on their approach to violence, one might think Cathix is intelligent. However their intelligence is the intelligence of a predator, and when it comes to social relationships they are utterly in over their head. Luckily Cathix doesn’t talk much so most beings who interact with them don’t realize how naive they are. Sarcasm and humor are foreign to them, and it is easy to lie and mislead them if one is practiced enough. Anyone looking to take advantage of Cathix should think twice however, as their response to betrayal is swift and unmerciful. Yet Cathix is a dependable and loyal partner to Linnea, and is totally submissive to her.

When it comes to showing affection, Cathix prefers simple quality time. They aren’t one for smooth speeches or kind comments, but do show their admiration through making gifts out of trophy kills, such as a carved bit of horn or bone, or perhaps a particularly beautiful feather or scale. These gifts also serve to demonstrate Cathix’s prowess and worth to the recipient, as being considered impressive and capable is very important to this dragon. The best way to humiliate or make enemies with Cathix is to challenge them to something they consider themselves good at, and then utterly destroy them. Though Cathix does have enough restraint to avoid attacking the victor then and there, they will forever carry a grudge and be cold towards the opponent.

Breath Attack: Frost/Ice

Affiliations:

Nava:

Iphtahel: Neutral, little previous contact

Pyralis: Neutral-Like, Cathix very much enjoys play-fighting with the younger dragon, and when Linnea isn't around Pyralis is someone Cathix feels comfortable just sitting in companionly silence with. Cathix will also invite Pyralis to go hunting with them, as the other dragon possess a similarly tactical mind and her stealth abilities come in very handy when planning an ambush.

Vágar: Dislike, the other dragon's bad attitude means Cathix generally just tries to avoid him and avoid upsetting him

Ciono:

Revrim: Dislike, Cathix has fallen victim to Revrim's tricks more than once in their life, and hates how stupid the other dragon makes them feel

Dredge: Dislike, Dredge's hot temper and unpredictable personality make Cathix unlikely to want to spend time with him. As with Vágar, Cathix mostly tries to avoid him, which is much harder since unlike Vágar, Dredge is Cathix's teammate.
