Name:
Arno
Age:
Sixty Three (63) Years
Gender:
Male
Class:
Fire Class
Appearance: [Detailed]
Standing as a larger male at 17'3 feet tall at the shoulder, they can tower over most other dragons and honestly? They know they can. With a slender yet at the same time muscular build, the male dragon is rather intimidating- just shadow-wise! But, of course, that isn't all.
Their face is constructed in a way that their lower jaw is large, strong and powerful, while the upper face is compact and slim to keep out of harm's way. Fangs are fairly larger then the average dragon and can sometimes stick out, and usually are pearly white. Two long, sharp horns curl up from the base of the head and down like rams, reaching down to the start of the mouth. In general, the body is a blackened red, scales having an orange-ish glow from underneath them, as such coals would.
Down the neck, they have strong, large scales that are a more reddish tone than the rest of them. These stop at the shoulder and go back into the blackened red. Their under-jaw is a glowing yellow, continuing down the chest and stomach to end at the tip of the tail's underside.
Their legs are rather bulky, however, blacken as they go down to the foot. Their claws are large and sharp, however, aren't really as durable as you'd think. Their tail has yellow scales dotting alongside it, and these scales can be seen over the entire body.
Large wings ascend up high when extended. They have a black exterior, but the flesh interior, in the wing itself glows a sharp yellow.
Smoke coils out of his mouth, off his back, his tail, and the back of his wings at all times that he isn't sleeping or resting.
Personality: [Detailed]
SIMPLE:
Independent | Intelligent (for age) | Thinker, Strategist | Stubborn | Social | Mannered | Strong Will
DETAILED:
Well, Arno is rather an interesting type of dragon. With an independent style of going around things, he isn't the most 'obedient' as most may think at first glance. Instead, he likes to do things his own way. So, while he may be told to do something, instead he may go do something else, then do it. Or, maybe he'll just do it the worst way possible just so he can be different. A good combatant to this is reverse psychology.
However, that doesn't always work. See, this dragon is rather smart for his age. He's a thinker, liking to think about things before doing anything. This can tinker into his independence; making him sit and think things like "Does this really benefit me?" and more. However, this doesn't mean they need someone to "take control." Despite being stubborn, they are actually rather mannered. If they know they have to do something, they may do it, if asked nicely or given something to do so. Their rider will have to learn that they are very food-motivated, and therefore, react the best to food reward.
Well, to add onto Arno, he's very social. Being young, he likes talking to other dragons. He doesn't really like the Water and Dark classes as much, however, if one approaches him nicely and starts a conversation he isn't going to back down from it. He's rather unbothered from things and honestly, if someone is being rude he has the mental capacity to just walk away and feel nothing. He's very willful, too; once he wants something he'll stop at nothing to get it! (Unless, of course, bribed with food.)
Rider:
Open.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
STRENGTHS:
- Combat. Despite being young, Arno can fight rather well. Whether its because he knows how to use his body to advantage or because of his sheer strength and will, nobody can ever be really sure.
- Agility. As a normal fire class, they are rather lean despite their large size. Because of this, they are rather agile and can move quickly.
- Mental Hardness. It takes awhile to actually get through to them. They find it amusing when somebody tries to disturb them and can even be hard to scare!
- Large, Powerful Wings. With powerful wings, they can fly strongly and quickly; but also, this helps their wings from getting damaged by trees and brush.
- Strong, Tearing Bite. With long fangs and a strong lower-jaw, they can bite rather well and tear into scales without much difficulty.
WEAKNESSES:
Bad Hearing. This can result in missing orders or even danger. Honestly, unless focusing, they can hardly hear things in a normal voice or whisper.
Focus. Well, while food motivated, it's kind of hard for Arno to stay focused. This really hurts his training ability...
Flexibility. Yes, he's agile. However, he can't really move his neck that much, because of the large scales there.
Brittle Claws. Well, brittle may or may not be an overstatement, but its still there. They are less durable then the average dragons and are mostly hollow.
Long Fangs. Yes, this sounds like a strength. And it is, if you read above. However, their fangs are a downfall. They cause eating difficulty, (yes, I know! Its unfair, the dragon who loves food struggles to eat!) poke into the gums and lips which may cause bleeding depending on the situation, and depending on the amount of sleep they have can cause slurred or hard to understand speech.
Likes & Dislikes:
LIKES:
Food. Very food-motivated.
Quiet. Yes, he's social, but he likes being alone and needs some alone time every now and then.
Warm Enviroment. Well, obvious, he's a fire class dragon.
DISLIKES:
Snotty attitudes.
Bad Smells. They get even worse with the smoke coming off him.
Cold. Again, a fire dragon.
