[center][h3]NPCs introduced in Chapter 1[/h3][/center] [hider=Garrock][b]Name:[/b] Garrock [b]Pronouns:[/b] He/him [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Bearded Dragon [b]House:[/b] House Tessith [b]Colour:[/b] [color=FADA5E]Royal yellow[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Stone, Liberty [b]Looks:[/b] - Large curled horns - Thick yellow scales - Icy blue eyes with slit pupils - Long, wrinkled snout with crocodile-like teeth - Bat-like wings, each tipped with an extra 'claw' - Clubbed tail - Bulky body [b]Description:[/b] Soon to be named an Elder dragon and take his place on the Council, Garrock is simultaneously smug about the superiority his age grants him and mournful of his lost youth. He was once a member of a pilgrimage clutch of decent repute called the Dawnfire Clutch, but while the rest of his comrades moved on to form new clutches, Garrock chose to remain solo and has prided himself on his self-sufficiency ever since. He dislikes relying on others to solve his problems, especially those younger than himself, and has been known to have a particularly sharp and cruel tongue when forced to interact with clutches of drakes.[/hider] [hider=Fogdance][b]Name:[/b] Fogdance [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/her [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Bearded Dragon [b]House:[/b] House Tessith [b]Colour:[/b] [color=silver]Silver[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Spirit, Stone [b]Looks:[/b] - Hornless, has two small fins on the side of her head - Pale grey scales speckled with darker greys - Large, indigo eyes that always appear somewhat teary - Short, rounded snout, resembling a sea turtle - Large wings that form a crescent-moon shape when spread out [b]Description:[/b] While Garrock may state that House Tessith's tenets encourage independence and self-reliance, there are many dragons within the House of Diamond who interpret 'living simply' as being more community-focused. Fogdance is one such dragon; nurturing by nature, she is one of the teachers and caregivers for Tessith's drakes, and has been recognized even by the mentors of House Semscale for her patience and diligence. However, beneath her gentle exterior, there is something frail and somber within the older dragon that many glimpse, but very few truly understand. After all, how can someone surrounded by so much love be so sad?[/hider] [hider=Alpin][b]Name:[/b] Alpin [b]Pronouns:[/b] He/him [b]Species:[/b] Brownie [b]Age:[/b] Young Adult [b]Looks:[/b] - Scrawny, with very thin, pointed features - Covered in wiry ginger hair - Outfits often include a hat and a scarf, and favour muted greens and browns colourwise [b]Description:[/b] Alpin is seen as something of the village idiot among the brownies of his island: lovable and ultimately harmless, yes, but with very little sense between his ears. How true this opinion is and how aware Alpin is of his fellow brownie's judgements is up in the air, as while he seems pretty oblivious most of the time, there are moments where he demonstrates a keen perceptiveness and an understanding of things deeper than his peers.[/hider] [hider=Bartley][b]Name:[/b] Bartley [b]Pronouns:[/b] They/them [b]Species:[/b] Brownie [b]Age:[/b] Elderly [b]Looks:[/b] - Chubby - Beady eyes and large, drooping ears - Covered in brown hair that is fading to grey - Wears tiny, half-moon spectacles - Has a fondness for old shirts and trousers, with very little variation [b]Description:[/b] An older brownie with a love for tinkering and crafting, Bartley prefers the company of one or two friends at a time as opposed to large groups, and likes to keep their hands busy with a project even while in conversation. They have a very short, blunt manner of speaking that can some time come off as rude to those unfamiliar with them, but in truth, Bartley is just shy and not always sure how to best express themselves.[/hider] [hider=Tamba][b]Name:[/b] Tamba [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/her [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Rawscale Drake [b]House:[/b] House Myndoth [b]Colour:[/b] [color=77DD77]Pastel green[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] All [b]Looks:[/b] - Antler-like horns - Soft, pastel green scales with splashes of orange and yellow - Large purple eyes - Feather tipped wings and tail - Chubby, rounded body - Wears round spectacles [b]Description:[/b] For a drake so young, Tamba is considered extremely well-read. She's rarely found outside of Myndoth's libraries, and is capable to memorizing and reciting whole passages from the books she studied. However, when it comes to socializing, she's far less adept, and tends to either talk far too much or far too little with no in-between.[/hider] [hider=Pleexem][b]Name:[/b] Pleexem [b]Pronouns:[/b] He/him [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Rawscale Drake [b]House:[/b] House Tessith [b]Colour:[/b] [color=C8A2C8]Lilac[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] All [b]Looks:[/b] - Gazelle-like horns - Soft lilac scales with pastel green splotches - Large bluish-green eyes - Feather tipped wings and tail [b]Description:[/b] Tamba's twin and current clutchmate, Pleexem makes his sister look like a daredevil by comparison. He's afraid of pretty much everything and everyone, save for Tamba and some older dragons in House Tessith, and is rarely seen without his sister by his side.[/hider] [hider=Echo][b]Name:[/b] Echo [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/her [b]Species:[/b] Elemental (mixed: wood, water and earth) [b]Age:[/b] Unknown [b]Looks:[/b] - Humanoid torso - Translucent greenish-brown skin with bioluminescent gold freckles - Long bluish-green hair resembling leaves of a willow tree - Eel tail in place of legs [b]Description:[/b] Echo is a very enigmatic being, even by the standards of elementals. She's implied to much older and more powerful than she appears, and like the dryads who tend to the dragons' hatchery, may have access to knowledge beyond. This knowledge is probably why she chose to take care of Stargaze after the drake's egg somehow found its way to her, and also why she eventually drove the drake away.[/hider] [hider=Kyte][b]Name:[/b] Kyte [b]Pronouns:[/b] They/them [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Winged Drake [b]House:[/b] House Semscale [b]Colour:[/b] [color=ffab72]Peach[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Liberty, Spirit, Storm, Void [b]Looks:[/b] - Hornless, with 'winged' ears - Pale orange scales that fade to pink, like the sky at dawn - Round, hawk-like golden eyes - Long, bird-like legs ending in sharp talons - Small bumps above nose and down their back - Very thin [b]Description:[/b] Originally belonging to a different pilgrimage clutch, circumstances have lead to Kyte being placed with the younger Tamba and Pleexem. As such, they've taken on an 'older sibling' roll to their new clutchmates, not as a leader but in that they're willing to do whatever it takes to keep their friends safe, even if it puts themself at risk.[/hider] [hider=Foxglove][b]Name:[/b] Foxglove [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/her [b]Species:[/b] Pixie [b]Age:[/b] Young Adult [b]Looks:[/b] - Pale, with bright golden eyes and a shock of spiky pinkish-purple hair - Taller than the average pixie - Wings resemble that of a pink rose butterfly - Often adorned in leather armour with metallic accents - Wields a sewing needle as her weapon of choice [b]Description:[/b] The captain of a guard of a small pixie village on Stargaze's home island. She lacks a lot of the playfulness associated with pixies, instead being very strict and prone to hostile actions against those she deems a threat to her people. That being said, she is not completely without whimsy: her ways of protecting her village involve elaborate traps, and she has a soft spot for pretty things.[/hider] [hider=Altostratus][b]Name:[/b] Altostratus ('Alto' for short) [b]Pronouns:[/b] He/him [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Longtooth Dragon [b]House:[/b] House Myndoth [b]Colour:[/b] [color=87CEEB]Sky blue[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Spirit, Storm, Stone [b]Looks:[/b] - A single pair of horns, mostly hidden in his mane of white feathers - Sky blue scales with a pale yellow underbelly - Feathered wings - Long, toothy snout - Rounded golden-brown eyes - Feathered tail [b]Description:[/b] Myndoth doesn't have as many crafters as say, Rothscar and Kebros, but those they do have are known for being quite unique in their approach. Altostratus is no exception, with raw elemental energies being his favored materials. He can often be found communicating with elementals of all types, as he seems to prefer using their languages to his native draconic, and has how learned to coax them and their magic into creating what he desires. This incredibly level of persuasiveness doesn't seem to translate to dragons and fae, however, as he reportedly very shy around them and often prefers to remain completely silent in their presence.[/hider] [hider=Vipereyes][b]Name:[/b] Vipereyes [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/her [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Bearded Dragon [b]House:[/b] House Myndoth [b]Colour:[/b] [color=e03fd8]Pinkish-purple[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Spirit, Void [b]Looks:[/b] - Two pairs of violet horns, one pair above her nostrils and the other above her eyes - Long serpentine body - Pinkish-purple scales with a pink underbelly - Wings attached to her forelegs - Snake-like acid green eyes with translucent eyelids - Forked tongue - Very long tail with a violet stinger at the end [b]Description:[/b] As Myndoth's resident expert on poisonous and toxic flora and fauna, Vipereyes' fascination with the more macabre aspects of the world can make her somewhat intimidating to those who don't know her very well. Those who can get her talking about her interests will find it difficult to get her to be silent again, while simulataneously finding her aloof and dismissive of that which is outside her area of expertise.[/hider] [hider=Maug][b]Name:[/b] Maug [b]Pronouns:[/b] He/they [b]Species:[/b] Dragon [b]Age:[/b] Longtooth Dragon [b]House:[/b] House Tessith [b]Colour:[/b] [color=023020]Dark green[/color] [b]Moons:[/b] Liberty, Storm, Void [b]Looks:[/b] - Two pairs of horns - Iridescent dark green scales - Cyan eyes - Large bat-like wings - Webbed toes [b]Description:[/b] Maug isn't a dragon to really stand out. They're polite and friendly enough, always willing to lend an ear to those in need, and the first to volunteer to help in times of strife. However, when it comes to their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, they're quite guarded, giving vague responses and nonchalantly agreeing with those around them. As such, while there are many who appreciate Maug for his kindness, there are few who can say they really [i]know[/i] him, and fewer still who would admit to ever really wanting to.[/hider]
