[b]Gender:[/b] Debated among the Dinotapaya and A là Stan clans for many centuries, it was more recently agreed upon that Arist were Hermaphrodite trans-sexual, able to change between what could be more than two genders, male and female being the more dominant of the possible variations. [b]Age:[/b] Unclear. [b]Appearance:[/b] Like all Arist dragons, Bauble’s epidermis is composed of thick skin and scales with no plumage or fur. Although his natural delinquent colouring ranges from deep-grey to hues of violet, blue and green, the full spectrum has no known limits and can vary, at will or spontaneously, to adapt to influences such as mood and camouflage [/color][/center] [hr] [center][h2][color=MediumTurquoise][b]~Lore~[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][color=MediumTurquoise]While an infant, during the war of Arkath which ended The Age of Resilience, Bauble’s parents were slain by a group of human witches and wizards. Records of the event described three Arist dragons being slain that day, two adults and one infant. Though it was said that the three Arist were the last of their kind, thus rendering the Arist species extinct, the infant, Bauble, did survive and went into hiding. It was not until the reign of King Eor the Emasculated that Bauble revealed himself during a dragon invasion on the town of Sonarlis, shutting down any remaining theories that the Arist no longer resided in Nihilo. After the murder of the other two Arist - one being his mother - an event that took place in view of many onlookers, both humans and dragons, and none of whom attempted to help - Bauble trusted neither man nor dragon and went on to live in seclusion until the events surrounding the dragon attack on Sonarlis during King Eor’s reign. It had then been over two decades since the end of the Arkath war.
