Brontes is a male with impressive height for his class. Standing at the tallest he can get, roughly 15 feet at the shoulder. His build is leaner, and slightly muscular, making him almost lanky looking. Brontes is built for endurance and stamina, he can keep quite a good pace for a long time in the water, with his strong swimming skills. It also helps that his feet are webbed, it’s a leathery material that connects his “toes”. Dragons have many varieties of scales. Except this dragon doesn't really have any, but instead, a thick, leathery skin, and has a pattern similar to a crocodile, though smoother. The color ranges from dark blues to light blues, helping him blend in with his surroundings underwater. The main color of this dragon is a dark blue, which takes up his entire back, top of his legs, top of his tail, and neck. His frill is the lightest variation of Blue he has besides his eyes.
The frill is similar to that of a frilled lizard, as well as the webbing in his feet. His frill looks more similar to scales but still has the leathery texture that the rest of him has. This frill is semi-circular and is underneath his mouth, and on the side of his face. Instead of the edges being round like the Frilled lizard, the shape is shaped similar to a “W” and continues in that pattern around the whole edge of the frill, every other point having a small ivory claw at the end. The length of his frill is nearly one foot long, and the skin around it is thin. He can tuck it against the side of his face, almost making it seem as if it isn’t there, it only comes out as a display of dominance to make him seem larger, or if he is tense or stressed.
This male does have horns, but instead of sticking straight up they are more laid back, Brontes has four in total. Two on his forehead that runs straight back with a slight curve, the tip bending downward. Then one on either side of those two, with the tips curved upward slightly. They are the same blue as his chest, described below. This dragon's head is slender and thinner.
The rest of his features are more suitable for quick swimming underwater. He has a spiked fin underneath his jaw, as well on the back of his neck, and a longer tail. His legs can tuck neatly under him as he glides through the water, and are powerful, allowing him to speed through the water.
The other markings on this dragon include lighter blue/grey spots along his neck and face. The color on his entire underside goes from the middle of his chest downwards and is more of a dark teal variation. Brontes’s eyes are a bright blue and have a marking the same color directly above his eye. When his eyes are closed it gives the illusion that his eyes are above, so in a sudden attack one would miss his actual eyes. His wings are small and used to help aid him in swimming and gliding, though they still look proportionate to his body. He can try and flap them enough to get him off the ground, but he never is in the air for more than a second or two, his weight and small wings are not a flying combination. True flight is never accomplished.

Grumpy || Territorial || Disdainful at Times || Intelligent || Resourceful || Communication A+ || Verbal & Physical || Cool || Calm || Collected || Snappy at times || Disaplined || Somewhat patient || Strong bond || Independent || Slight temper || Somewhat strict || Sarcastic
Brontes is a calm dragon, yes he can be a bit grumpy towards the rest of his species but never truly out of anger towards them. Though, with those he is close with, he becomes more protective of if they do meet harm's way, whether it's an accident or not. This can consist of a blast from what he calls his "water breath", a stern reprimanding, or he can take it to a whole other level. A feeling of guilt does come from seeing his friends physically hurt, thinking he could have done more to protect them, even if it wasn't his fault. Brontes is also quite the territorial creature, it's part of his nature and he considers his friends his territory. Hence the guilt if someone happens to them. If they are harmed he has let down his guard. Touch them or think about touching them and you will earn a stone-cold stare.
Being territorial also applies to his personal space, he tends to be grumpy because he hates physical touch, however, close friends may find that they are an exception. If his space is invaded, or you're too close he'll let you know. In that way, he is good at communication.
While he is good with communication if he starts to get frustrated he may begin to lack in that aspect a little bit. This male is normally in a somewhat grumpy mood, however, this has only been due to recent events. It is an unfortunate occurrence, for a clan to turn on the Elders and the Gods?! Let's just say he isn't the happiest about it. This has slightly amped up some of his skills, with the incentive of hatchlings from his clan being spared, but only if the survivors are tracked down. This has also allowed him to become more observant, which he needs to be if he is to track down the survivors
The stress and pressure of this situation have forced him to be more verbal, as well as physical. Verbal in the sense that he speaks up more to voice his opinions. If he can gain support for various ideas they may be more successful in finding the others. Then physical in the sense that this water dragon is more active and willing to aid the other hunters. He is a collected figure, however, he still has his days. Brontes may be more grumpy or impatient, seemingly fighting the calmer nature a water class dragon has.
This dragon is cool in battle, he has a strong stomach and can handle the sight of destruction and carnage in battle. Of course, he has seen some of the carnage left behind from the initial attack that killed most of the escaping clan, as well as other experiences he has had over the years. So those experiences have made him somewhat ready for whatever he will face next, so a bad reaction will not be expected of him. Due to his experiences, Brontes is a pretty resourceful dragon and can help pass certain skills off to younger dragons in the group. You won't see an overly snappy or impatient teacher. He is one of the older adults, so he may have some helpful experiences. Making this dragon quite intelligent more his species as well.
Brontes is a patient male and is able to pick up on a technique with much more ease due to his experience and understanding. His wisdom, skill, and size, may also lead to some disdainment towards smaller, and younger dragons. As mentioned before, Brontes enjoys his space, as well as some independence. Though he does find it nice to occasionally have some small talk outside of hunting the others. He is more open to those of his class, though he is more willing to talk, and rather likes it when he is approached by some of the others. He also enjoys the company of some of the older dragons in the group. His speech is mostly clear and to the point, though he may have a few sarcastic remarks. Concerning a serious topic you won't have to deal with sarcasm, he will be straight and to the point.
Ability: Brontes breathes boiling water rather than fire. He is able to control its temperature, ranging from boiling to a near-ice consistency. He is able to breathe under and above water due to having small hidden gills under the scales on his neck. Eight. His abilities are used in combination with his horns and other fighting abilities, though he tries to only use them when necessary.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
-Water, is both a strength and a weakness in this case. This dragon needs to stay hydrated to function properly, and using its water blast will dehydrate them. But being in a habitat where water is plentiful, they can use it to their advantage. Their water blasts will dehydrate them, but if they were in a source of water, it could keep them going for a longer period of time since they could rehydrate quickly.
-Size, is definitely one of his strengths. Being lean and muscular, almost lanky, his build is more for endurance and stamina. Brontes can keep swimming for a long period of time.
-Swimming, is another one of his strengths. His webbed feet are definitely an asset when it comes to it, and since his habitat is in the water, he has grown to be an amazing swimmer.
-Flying and Heat, this male can hardly fly, his class does more of a glide and are more water-bound than some of the other dragons. Heat also greatly affects him, as his skin is sensitive to it. Both of these make it hard to keep up on land with other dragons.
-Heights, something he cannot attain easily, since he cannot fly. Though maybe climbing is a thing? It is also somewhat of a fear, Brontes rather spend time in the depths of in ocean than thousands of feet in the air. He likes to have his feet in the water thank you very much.
-Powers, of course, this is his strength, though it can also be a weakness if he overuses them, leaving him vulnerable.
Likes & Dislikes:
-Water, and food, the water is cooling and calming to be in, and being a water dragon his hunting skills peak underwater, due to his food source being all around him.
-Nighttime, everything is calm, peaceful, and quiet. It is this dragon's favorite time to relax, stars fascinate this creature. Don’t disturb him during his sacred time or he’ll eat you :’)
-Space, being territorial, Brontes does like to be separated on his own claim of the water/land at times. He is also picky about how close you might stand next to him, he likes his little bubble of personal space.
-Good conversation, Brontes doesn't like "fluff talk" though he does enjoy more meaningful conversation with the others
-Fire dragons, Brontes generally dislikes the fire dragons due to them having some sort of power over him since they can dry him out and leave him defenseless. He won't have an issue with them unless they mess with him.
-Any type of heat, he rather freeze than be anywhere near a source of heat. He hates fire with a passion and will put any and all out with his water breath, even if it dehydrates him.
-Being far from water, for some obvious reasons, it is his main habitat and if he needs to replenish his water breath he needs to be close to it
-Winter, water freezes over making it hard to access which he dislikes
-Overly hyper, this dragon dislikes those who go overboard with excitement. He finds it annoying
Crush: n/a
Mate: Maybe?
Offspring: If he has a mate they may have a hatchling back at their clan that they wouldn't wish to be sacrificed, so that could also be why he is hunting the survivors.
