Greetings! My characters shoulder both be finished (hopefully) soon. ^^
《~》《~》《~》《~》《~》
Name: Dorian Maine
Name Pronounciation: DOOR-REE-INN MANE
Name Meaning: A name of Greek origin meaning "gift".
Age: 25
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Height: 7'1"... he's basically a giant. :'D
Sexuality: Omnisexual and polyamorous.
Species: Shapeshifter
Appearance: Dorian, though most recognizable due to his height, is a bit unique in appearance. His hair is long - reaching almost to his elbows when worn down but is normally kept up in a braid or mostly neat bun - and almost wavy in appearance, and is raven black in color; meaning his hair has the faintest blue-ish hue in the sunlight. His complexion is just a little dark and could be compared to milk chocolate (closest comparison I could think of rip-), being smooth and holding almost no blemishes if not for the fact that he's got a few scars that are typically covered up by longer clothes. The color of his eyes is almost golden in color but holds a yellowish-green hue, with little brown flecks and pupils that shift between rounded and slitted (think similar to cat pupils). On the left side of his neck is a small birthmark that's almost eerily shaped like one half of a broken heart; he's also got a medium sized tattoo on his right shoulder blade in the form of a dragon.

Clothing-wise he usually isn't picky, but he prefers longer clothes such as jeans and long sleeves/t-shirt and hoodie to cover up the variety of scars that litter his body. Dull or darker colors are what he seems to favor, but from other observations - and word from Zahir - his favorite colors are green, red, and blue. He normally just wears plain sneakers over white or black socks, so there's nothing too interesting there.
-
With the help of his shapeshifting, he's able to shift into one of about three forms. The first one is a dog that resembles a greyhound, with long legs and a thin frame, but the fur is slightly longer and is the same black coloration as his hair; even the eyes are the same yellow-gold. The second form is something reptilian with gray-black scales and yellow-green eyes, a bipedal creature with a long tail, short-ish arms, and clawed 'fingers'; one might compare it to a velociraptor, except it's slightly bigger, being roughly the same height as a full-grown lion. The final form is, well.. a dragon, for lack of a better description; just like his height in human form, his dragon form is quite impressively tall and is estimated to be around 15 feet tall, with black scales littered with sprinkles of white and bits of brown along his legs and wings, and bright yellow eyes that glow faintly in the darkness.
Personality: Dorian is what many would call shy, or perhaps introverted would be a better word. While he used to be more outgoing in his younger years, as he's grown, he became quiet and almost timid, lacking things such as self-confidence and the proper courage to socialize due to a; anxiety, and b; the fact that he was pretty sheltered growing up. He tends to startle easily and appears to be emotionally sensitive; that much is obvious when he's picked on due to how he doesn't talk hardly at all, which leaves him upset and often on the verge of tears (ones that don't normally fall freely unless something was bad enough). However, despite most of this, Dorian can be quite sweet and affectionate, and even tends to be protective of those he considers close friends and/or family. Towards a love interest (or love interests in this case), he'd be a bit clingy and overall affectionate in the similar adorable manner compared to that of a puppy, and he'd shower that person (people) in love and the occasional small gifts.
Other:
- He suffers from partial mutism; he was in an accident when he was in high school that left his vocal cords pretty damaged, so it hurts him a little to talk sometimes. So instead, he chooses to communicate through Morse code (through which he uses a small clicker that he carries around) or through ASL. However, he's still technically eligible for surgery to fix his voice/vocal cords, but surgeries like that tendnto cost quite a lot and don't always turn out well, so Dorian is very hesitant to get the surgery.. that, and he doesn't like doctors much, mostly since he's afraid of needles.
- He and Zahir are exes; the two of them met in middle school but didn't start dating until their sophomore year of high-school, though they broke up shortly before graduating from their senior year. Dorian was the one who initiated the breakup due to the fact that his parents have a massive dislike for sirens and siren hybrids and essentially peer pressured him into breaking things off with Zahir before his family eventually moved away due to his dad getting a new job.

Other:
- He was involved in a car accident when he was in middle school; it resulted in Zahir being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down due to the position he was found in. Luckily they recovered and gained use of their legs again, but due to the damage that was done, their right leg has a permanent limp that tends to be more obvious when they're up and on their feet for too long.
- He's only partially aware that Dorian never actually wanted to break up with him in the past, but due to things still being a little awkward, they never had the courage to ask Dorian about the reason behind the breakup.
