[Rider]
Name: Matiu Ma'aka (Mat for short)
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Human
Appearance: [url=http://www.deviantart.com/art/Vaas-Honorable-Warrior-Rakyat-379365831]Matiu[/url]
Personality: Mat is a proud warrior, as such in combat he can be bold, somewhat arrogant, and quite driven to see his enemies crushed. Outside of combat though, he's a pretty nice, though he can get bored rather easily
Bio: [short!] Matiu was born on a small island to the west of Del's shore. The natives of Mat's home shared the land with dragons that evolved differently from those on the mainland - thanks to the dense jungle they had become more suited for the ground and water rather than air, where smaller, and could be extremely vicious. On Mat's island, it is considered a right of passage for young men to go out upon turning sixteen, and conquer a dragon with the intention of taming it or killing it outright (it was often just killing it.). Mat ventured out into the jungle and searched for nearly a week until he finally came across a dragon, the two did battle on and off for days, a continuous game of cat and mouse until Mat finally bested the beast and claimed it as his companion. They've been together for five years now, and after hearing about the danger on the mainland, decided to volunteer in an effort to crush the cyclops army.
Other: He's very fond of mint and mint based foods (he'll even gnaw on mint leaves if he comes across them)

Dragon's Name: Thresher
Personality: Thresher has a bit of a napoleon complex and tends to be a tad bit antagonistic towards other, often larger dragons, when it comes to people, he's standoffish unless Matiu is alright with them. As for interactions with Matiu himself, Thresher holds a great deal of respect towards his rider and is quick to come to his aid.

Breath Type: Poison/venom (It's liquid in composition. Thresher often uses it in bites, though he can also spit it out so that it absorbs into pores. It's fast acting and can be lethal without anti venom)

Throwing this out now, I *love* Monster hunter and Far cry 3, so I couldn't resist using these two images.
