Elk

Name: Elk

(One of the largest species of deer, second only to the moose.  Typically lives within the highland regions of North America)

Species: IceWing with very distant MudWing ancestry.

Powers: Typical IceWing powers (frost breath, serrated claws, barbed tail, etc.)

Color: He is a very pale blue all over with a light, almost white underbelly and darker grey-ish top scales.  Their wings are a slight fade between a saturated blue and pure white, and his eyes are also blue.

Patterns: All along his neck scales, down the forearm of his wings, and atop his head are white diamond-shaped patterns that are a bit hard to see from a glance due to the color being so close to his base scale color.  His tail has a gentle white-blue to grey-blue gradient to it, and his spines are a gradient mix of white and pale blue as well.  His face has a white tear-like patterning running down it, and above that rests a pale grey-brown marking beneath both eyes.  This same color is also found on the tips of his feet.

Scars: Just emotional scars :)

Body Type: Shorter than average, but not noticeably.  He is very much built like an athlete however.

Gender: Masculine Non-binary

Pronouns: He/him/they

Physical Age: 13 years

Mental Age: Adult (usually, but with certain situation, especially social ones, he can be seen as very childish to some).

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

Romantic Orientation: Panromantic

Disorders: Childhood-onset fluency disorder (a stuttering disorder, which for him has persisted into adulthood), as well as autism and insomnia.

Introvert/Extrovert: Ambivert

Fears:

-Failing his kingdom

-Breaking the law

-Fire

-Social gatherings

Personality: Elk is very quiet by nature and is slow to make friends.  He’s not necessarily shy, but he’s just not used to socializing and is kind of awkward as a result.  They’ve got a lot of self-confidence though, so that combined with his apparent coldness can sometimes lead others to believe that he’s stuck up and rude when in actuality he’s truly trying his best to be part of the team.  To those that actually get to talking with him, it’s clear that he doesn’t know how to communicate clearly with any topic that doesn’t involve his work, but all things considered, Elk is a very genuine, hard-working dragon who is constantly trying his best in every situation he is put in.  He struggles a lot when he has too much time on his hands, and is happiest when he is working.  Otherwise, they have frequent intrusive thoughts, and may even have panic attacks.  In part because of this, he has a hard time falling asleep.

Occupation: Castle Guard

Relationships:

Father: Unknown

Relationship with them: N/A

Mother: Fuyu

Relationship with them: She died before he was old enough to remember her.

Grandfather: Vostok

Relationship with them: Vostok raised Elk since he was very little, but the two don’t have a very positive relationship.  Elk remembers his grandfather always feeling distant, but after he was arrested for treason, Elk lost all respect for the other IceWing that they ever had.  

Friends: None, really, though a certain SeaWing has tried to be his friend in the past.

Relationship with them: Elk has never been good at talking to others, and it didn’t help to be known as the dragonet with a traitor in their family, so for the most part, Elk kept to himself.  He’s tried to make friends in the past, but was never successful at making more than acquaintances.  Proud is the closest dragon Elk has to a friend, but Elk doesn’t like the idea of being seen even more as a traitor to his own tribe by having friends outside of it, so he does his best to avoid them.

Acquaintances: His fellow guards

Relationship with them: Those who work alongside him tend to tolerate Elk, or are just casually friendly at most, but he isn’t close to almost any of them.

Enemies: Enemies of the Ice Kingdom

Relationship with them: While on the surface, Elk may seem like an aloof sort of dragon, he’s actually quite passionate about his job, and will do just about anything to prove his loyalty to the kingdom.  He has killed to defend the throne before, and he would do it again in an instant.

Backstory: WIP, but basically he was raised by his grandfather who turned out to be a traitor to the Ice Kingdom and was tortured and executed in front of Elk’s eyes (via fire).  Elk was thrown into the outer circle for associating with him, but he went into military training as a dragonet in an attempt to atone for his grandfather’s misdeeds.  He graduated with fairly high marks and now works as a palace guard, though some who know of his past are skeptical of him, and his unsocial nature means he’s not very well-liked by his peers.
