Story: Roark was hatched at a small shoreline town on a planet far from his homeworld. His mother, Viviane, was a nomad from the Dream Dragon world, Drakonix. She was a Draco that split off from the origin colony to travel the world. It's unknown who his father is, but his mother was a free spirit!

He only knows of his homeworld from stories told to him by his mother. She raised him by herself on those shores, teaching him everything it means to be a Dream of Loyalty.

By this notion, it's easy to assume he's never met another Draco outside of his mother, and knows only that his people had been created to aid in bringing peace to those in the galaxy, helping dreams come true against Nightmare's reign. However, it often plagues him to know that he is of a mighty species said to have the strength to level armies and fell elite monsters— only for them to have been wiped out by a strange force, left terribly endangered. He often wonders just what kind of creature or force could have taken out a whole race of elite Dream Beasts?

From the stress and tragedy of Drakonix’s cataclysmic destruction, Viviane was very ill. She held out for as long as she could for Roark, but eventually passed away when he was a young adult– tired and ready to slumber for eternity after ensuring her legacy. The young dream dragon was, of course, rattled by the death of his mother. Over time, however, he pressed on and continued training himself on her teachings.

That is how he is the Draco he grew up into today! He worries that he might be the last, but he tries not to dwell on it.

Extra:

— Roark and his mother had become well respected citizens of the town, to the point that certain areas had been built or remodified for their comfort. You can find archways, paintings, and certain buildings styled after them both.

— Roark is a bit quiet about it, but he enjoys showing off his swimming skills and trained abilities. He's not arrogant about it, he's just innocently proud of how far he has come and likes to entertain! His artful usage of his ability, while not completely mastered, is quite the show to watch!

— He's well loved by the citizens, and is frequently invited to their festivals and events. Children love to climb all over him, however he needs to be careful of kites… They get stuck on his horns.

— He LOVES seafood casserole! Just like any Draco, he will eat his food raw and hunt it himself. But if he's offered a cooked meal, you will never hear a declining response. And aside from water, one of his favorite drinks is a Melon Float.

— Well trained in almost everything else a Draco should be skilled in, all except for disguises! He can only hold them for a short while, and some of his dragon features might pop out if he's not paying attention… He has lived not understanding having to hide from people because the citizens he grew up with were so used to him.

— Catch Roark off guard, and you will hear him stutter and stumble on his words, completely breaking his collected and confident demeanor.

— His laugh is boisterous! Don't be startled!

— Roark bounds and does a lot of twists with his body when he's excited, a bit like a ferret. He has excellent footing however, and is a surprisingly great dancer! This is also seen in how he uses his ability, guiding heavy winds to dance him through gales while beautifully orchestrating water and air at his command. Make him angry though, and he can become a chaotic force of nature, turning himself into an imposing aquatic twister that spins at bone-snapping currents!

— He can use his ability to surf along the top of waves and walk, prance, or float in the air!

— Regardless of permanently looking irritated all the time, you might find that he's a very warm and smiley individual.

— He forgets how tall he is a lot and gets his horns caught or hits his head every now and then!
