The male is a scaly creature, hide a shade of onyx that darkens him in a similar way to the night sky. Across his body are small white, pale gold, pale blue and pale purple spots, often seeming to shimmer and shine. He looks as if he's a moving fragment of the midnight sky, dropped down to Earth to walk the physical plain.

The male has four large, leathery wings. They're layered, one above the other [think of Cloudjumper from HTTYD], and can move as simply two wings, or as four wings, depending on what Ryuu wishes to do with them. His head is long and broad, a dulled diamond shape, with a mess of horns protruding from the top and back of his head, getting smaller as they descend slightly down his neck. Some are on the side of his head, still reaching backwards. They're all on an angle, so that if he's looking forward, they're reaching backwards.

The male has four eyes, two of them being larger and his main eyes. They sit in the normal placement, and are a shimmering hue of blue-purple. The second set are noticeably smaller, a little down and a bit further down on his maw. They're a shade of pure acidic green, having a red pupil and no sclera. His teeth, too, are an anomaly, being similar to that of a shark and having three layers. The first layer are sharp and straight, the generic fangs with long canine teeth at the front. The second and third layer are slightly shorter, and are serrated and facing backwards to catch prey and trap it in his maw.

This appreciation does, however, make him a violent creature. For does not every person awestruck by art wish to become the artist?

He craves to be part of the bloodshed. Perhaps he's a little unhinged, perhaps a little crazed, perhaps offering a little bloodlust. But it doesn't drive him, it doesn't push him nor force him, it is just a quiet little ache in the back of his head. An ache in his fangs, to be ripping through flesh, to have blood spilling between them. He would rip another creature apart without hesitation if it benefitted him or those he cares for. A mercenary of sorts, in a way; give him a mission, give him a "reward", and he'll do it.

Now, a high drive for violence doesn't make him stupid. Ryuu is actually a rather intelligent dragon. He's observant, he tries to notice everything he can, tries to always be on watch, tries to make sure nothing gets past his guard. In this, he tries to observe things going on around his friends and family, too--keeping them safe, even from the sidelines.

He's, as stated, cool and calm. It takes a lot to make the behemoth truly lose his shit, he likes to talk in a quiet, calm voice, he likes to notice others before they notice him, he likes to caulculate his moves. He likes to have others guessing his next step while he knows theirs. He likes being ahead. It makes him feel safe, makes him feel like he knows what's going on, it makes him feel like he can protect himself and others.

It's pretty obvious that he's a protective guy, he's territorial and defensive. If you hurt someone that's his friend or family, or you touch something that's his, Ryuu is going to be one of the first people on his feet and making you realize what you've done.

Venom | His whole pOwErS thing is an overall strength. Keeps people away, and hurts the people that get too close if he doesn't want them there.

Big Beefy Boy | He's big, he's strong, he's beefy, he's got muscles. What he doesn't have? Agility. He's a hulking mass of muscle, he's not the quickest nor the most agile. His height partnered with this doesn't exactly help too much.

Violence | His affiliation for violence often has him leaning towards handling things violenetly and aggressively, leaving him with scars and, potentially, injuries that could hinder him or his work.

The Cold | Ryuu is a venom dragon. You know what doesn't generally exist in the cold? Venomous animals. Snakes. Insects. He can't refuel if he doesn't have access to toxic things to eat. While he isn't necessarily a fan of the heat, it's better for him to refuel in. In the cold, he has a few bites, and then he's done with his powers until he can actually find something. Puts him at a severe disadvantage. Also just fuck the cold.
