in character information.
name: Glitter
age: 50
sex: Male
race: Dragon
weight: 5 lbs
height: 2'
[OPTIONAL] cause of death: N/A
canon point: End of Written Backstory. Just as he began his apprenticeship to Larbenth.
previous cr:N/A
physical appearance: Glitter is two feet long from snout to tail tip with a wing span of about a foot. His wings are for the most part leathery and fragile looking with scales only now growing into place on them. His face is elongated in a short snout with eyes placed like they would be on a horse. He's a general green color all over with some purple on markings, feet, the underwings, and ear canal. Though the purple is taken away in some of his shifted forms leaving him with just the green color as the stable coloration on himself. His eyes are always a dark black/brown color as well.
He tends to walk on all fours, with his claws being only really useful in climbing a few surfaces. Thus carrying objects is regulated to if he can fit his mouth around it to carry it. Sometimes he has horns or little horn numbs depending on how he has shifted his looks that day.
world information:
The world of G'brenth is just like any medieval fantasy style world, with the land masses set into three major continents. The southern continent is home to desert dwelling
history:
Glitter was born in a stereotypical fantasy world called G'brenth during the fifth year of the reign of King Seldar of the human kingdom. He was born in the typical way, in a clutch of about twenty others at peak of summer solstice. Like tradition amongst the Sky Clan of the dragons, the first mental thought by a hatchling would determine it's name until the time that their wings have shed off the protective leathery membrane and had grown in all of the necessary scales. In regards to Glitter the first thought was on how the gold coins of the collective hoard glittered and shined. Thus, until he could learn to fly our little star of this specific story was dubbed Glitter.
For the next twenty years Glitter roamed and climbed the various passages and caves of the Sky Clan territory. With nothing too exciting happening outside of the occasional scuffle with his clutch mates, and a small alarm of a few roving goblins attempting to sneak in and steal from them. This time in his life defined by his various interactions with a few key clutch mates. Mostly that of Halberd and Leaf.
Despite vastly different personalities the three were the closes to one another then any of the others born in their clutch. Where one was the other two were not far and tended to split the blame of any misadventure equally. Mostly due to the fact none of them would rat the other out when an elder came looking for the culprit.
However, it would be on his twenty fifth year that things changed. For that was when all young dragons would be allowed their first taste of the world outside of their clan home. Due to Glitter being a green dragon, and his normal behavior that he hadn't seem to have grown out of since his hatching, he was assigned to the Treasure Hunters Wing that was headed by a blue dragon called Larbenth. For the next decade Glitter would learn all the secrets and techniques that would help him find and acquire ancient relics in abandoned temples, and from the various hidden stashes of bandits of both goblin and human thieves. His skill soon making him a favored student, even if at times many of his fellow treasure hunters had to question his intelligence.
Thus, by the time he was half a century old and entering his fledgling stage he was tapped to become fully apprenticed under Larbenth and Larbenth only. A sign that when Larbenth would finally step down and join other retired dragons of the wing in cataloging the various treasures, that Glitter would take his place. Of course learning to fly would be the biggest challenge in his future as his scales have only just begun to settle in on his wings.
During all of this Glitter would oftentimes wonder about the other two and what they would be called when they took their first flight. As Halberd, being a red had gone and joined the Guardian Wing, and Leaf as a brown dragon, went into the Scholar Wing. Three wings that would rarely interact with one another outside of an emergency of council session. Yet, Glitter at least kept the two in his thoughts deep down.
personality:
To put it plainly and simply...Glitter is like an excitable toddler. Everything is fascinating to him and the shinier it is, the more he wants it for his own amusement. He also tends to never remain still for any lengthy periods of times. Give him five minutes of remaining completely still and he'll ruin it by fidgeting his tail and wings. Within ten minutes he's up and running about again and completely forgetting why he had been staying still. He also tends to leap before he thinks but it's mostly because he is impatient and needs to look at or explore something now, now, now! He also gets into everything that looks interesting regardless of personal property or space, which can result in unexpected dragon in your pantry cupboard, or rolling around in your bathtub.
There are also some oddly cat like quirks he has that come out now and again. These being mostly an odd sort of purring sound when he is truly and completely content with life, and the reaction to pounce things that flit past, like a piece of paper or that beam of a flashlight.
He's also a bit scatterbrained and tends to leap from one topic of conversation to the next, which makes him come off as having an attention span of a gnat. This isn't true, for the most part, as he does pay attention to what is going on around him and thus can react appropriately when it calls for it. Most of the time though it's just not as interesting as the new item or thought that had just caught his attention.
That doesn't mean that he can't be serious or focused. He mostly saves such for when he's on a mission for his wing, or in a situation that calls for such. Like keeping his hide intact when a Goblin or three gets it in their head to try and see if Dragon tastes good.
Glitter is also very social and happy, willing to make friends with anything and everything provided it doesn't try and eat him. This want of friendship is usually expressed by him being in your face and possibly leaving you something shiny in your shoe if he really likes you.
abilities/powers:
As a fledgling Green Dragon there are only a few special abilities of his kind that he can perform. Which is limited as it is by his size, age, and coloration; as such, this means the reserve of magic he has to play with is not all that strong and thus he relies on being quick and nimble to escape enemies.
-Shield: The main form of defense for a green dragon. It appears like a see through white bubble that surrounds Glitter. The bubble is magically strong enough to keep him safe underwater for two hours before air or holding his breath is needed, and from any physical weapons. However, magic and enchanted items tear through it like butter.
-Telepathy: Since dragon mouths are not structured to really convey human speech without it being garbled, and it's a waste of magic to make it understandable. Most greens resort to a simpler and less energy intensive form of communicating with others. By "shoving" his thoughts into the minds of others.
-Gliding: Being a fledgling his ambient magic isn't strong enough yet to help aide his wings in actual flight. So When not skittering around your ankles Glitter can act like a living glider from one place to another for a short distance. Maximum distance being twenty feet if he doesn't have a very good high point to glide from, or a nice updraft to help.
-Shifting: for larger and more incline to get in fights type of dragons, this ability to change the shape and density of ones scales is a godsend. For a green dragon it's more vanity then useful outside of jobs like what Glitter has. Where changing if one has horns or not, ridged spines or a smooth body can determine whether one is getting through that small crack in the tomb and thus to the loot inside. (It's also my excuse for none of my icons matching, but sshhh)
first person sample: Casual tags - usually written with brackets and in present tense. As if a character were making a regular entry to the main community. This should show a clear grasp of the character's voice. At least 3 lines of dialogue. If we feel we can’t judge voice from the sample, we may ask for a revision.
third person sample: Log format, usually, in third person past tense and in prose (no bracket spam, please). This should show the character's thought process in addition to their voice and you ability to portray and incorporate it. At least 200 words. Even if you meet the minimum word count, if we feel we can’t judge voice from the sample, we may ask for a revision.
**RP samples from previous games may be linked.
case no: Is there a preferred case number you'd like your character to have? Case numbers, for those of you choosing your own should consist of a sequence of three two digit numbers (00-00-00). The first TWO must be between 1-60, but the final number can be any number between 1-99. (60-60-99) Please check the Taken pages to be certain your case number isn’t already taken. If it is, your number will be randomised instead.
