He is a massive dragon. With a height of 24 feet at the shoulders and a length double that, Garan is an intimidating creature. His body is lean but muscular, and his build is one made for battle. Garan 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. Garan'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 Garan'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. Garan always carries a deep, brooding, intelligent look in his brilliant orbs, which are also the only way he really expresses emotion. Garan is a smexy dragon, even if hs 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.
Garan'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, Garan is not likely to be found flying outside of a volcanic domain.
Personality
Garan 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. Garan 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, Garan 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, Garan is a fairly even-tempered dragon. His time smelting and crafting 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.
Garan'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 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.
Garan 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.
