About
Io has spent his life under the shadow of his parents: two PHDs in magic studies, something he has never been too good at. Despite his intelligence and other talents, his ineptitude at magic has always kept him estranged from his family. He might seem aloof at first, but he is desperate to prove himself to his peers, and often gets himself into trouble because of it.

Personality
Io is the typical gifted burnout. He has grown up knowing that to excel is to be loved, and to fail is to be ignored. Io has therefore developed an all or nothing sort of personality when it comes to effort. He either puts his heart and soul into something, or pretends not to care at all.
Io can get overwhelmed at insurmountable odds, but he will do almost anything for his friends. He would rather try to figure out the consequences of his actions later rather than miss an opportunity now.

Io seems to have two separate styles. When at school and other formal functions, his attire is very neat and tidy, relying on his uniforms to maintain a sense of belonging.
However, when he is among friends, his attire is much more relaxed. His clothing gives off the vibe of effortlessly chosen, but he cares a lot about his sense of style, and rarely wears a garment that he has not put thought into.
Design Notes
- "Hair" is one solid crystal with several smaller crystals growing from it
- Skin is soft to the touch, but solid, similar to dense scaley skin (ex iguanas)
- Tattoo on right wrist of an orobourous
- Slightly pointed ears
Relationships

Name: Esme & Bennie
Although greatly influenced by his parents, Io is not that close with either of them. They have a lack of an emotional connection, instead focusing on ensuring that their son succeeds academically. Io constantly tries to prove to both himself and his parents that he is living up to their expectations.

Name: Cazlan
Io made a pact with Cazlan to enhance his magical potential in exchange for his soul. Their relationship seems barely beneficial at best, and antagonistic at worst. Io is currently trying to grapple with the fact that he has made a pact with someone who had a hand in the deaths of Delta Morwen's parents.

Levi is Io's roommate. Both being Warlocks, they have a connection that none of the other dorm members have. However due to several unexpected events, a nonzero amount of the school thinks they are in some kind of relationship.

Name: Turk & Blaze
Two upperclassmen at Blackstar who Io's had his eyes on. After a mortifying experience of beer pong at the fraternity that they live at, Io was invited on a date with both of them. The date went well, as well as the, erm, afterparty. What will become of their relationship?
Story
art by tulomne
Sothiyra comes from a close-knit, centrist society called the Three Peaks. The Three Peaks are three semi-active volcanoes in the south of Athune that are home to entirely dragonborn. Although they do participate in trade throughout Athune, most Peaks dragonborn have never left their homeland, nor do they even intend to.
One tradition that Peaks dragonborn partake in is known as the Sun Walk. Meant to commemorate the banishment of the 300 years of darkness, each year one dragonborn from each clan that has come of age is chosen to partake in this task. They travel to Athiel, the capital of Athune, and meet up with the elder dragonborn during what is known as the Sun Festival.
Sothiyra was incredibly close to Therwyn Emmaenish growing up, and had even housed a small crush on the older dragonborn. Therwyn was selected to partake in the Sun Walk when she came of age, but never returned. Struck with grief and concern, Sothiyra worked hard so that she could be chosen to visit Athiel and discover what happened to Therwyn
Summary
S
othiyra met up with her party in Athiel where they found that Brother Solarious, a priest of Pelor, was really Auro, the Saint of Athune. Auro had lost his memories, due to a safeguard that his companions put in place in case the darkness arose again. Together they embarked on a quest to recover the Auro’s memories so that they can defeat the Darkson and his generals. Together they travel Athune, meeting up with Auro’s old companions to retrieve his memories.
They encountered Therwyn leaving Grimmsfaer, and learned of her capture shortly after her trip to Athiel. Although the two initially had strong feelings, and considered a relationship, Therwyn decided that Sothiyra, having never left her home until now, did not know who she was yet, and that she needed to grow as a person before she entered a committed relationship. They parted on good terms, Therwyn still aiding Sothiyra and her companions where she can as a member of the Inquisition of the Sunshields, the main guard organization of Athune.
