Est

WOBBLES. WOBBLES ALL OVER THE PLACE

ok so im still working on his story but here's what i have so far:

In a fantasy world, the natural diet of dragons consists of only crystals. (dragons can choose to take a non humanoid form but nowadays in modern times most dragons take humanoid form since humans are everywhere now so they live alongside each other for the most part (by modern times i mean times that are considered modern for the fantasy world; its still all fantasy-like) 

however humans have over time mined many many crystals to make a huge economy based on pretty refined crystals, as well as talismans, jewelerly, enchanted equipment and items (the crystals are magic), etc

to prevent the dragons from dying out tho, most dragons work normal jobs in human cities or even at crystal shops or equipment shops to either purchase crystals (like groceries 💀) to eat, or get paid in a salary of crystals

after all dragons are not allowed to go to the established mining territories because different countries and factions have established a careful system so that the crystals are not over-mined  through mining too fast, or having any one faction mine more than the others and take more gemstones, which would cause a fight and would also disturb the finite resources 

However theres this one dragon ( spoiler.... our boy... est)... Who is just really aloof and airheaded so for a LONG TIME he was taking a nice nap in his own little tiny mountain with rainbow crystals and while he was sleeping some humans  came and mined out all the crystals 💀 so he's  really fucking hungry because he has nothing to eat and being a massive airhead does not even wonder why they're gone he just sits there curled up and sad that hes hungry 😢

So then one day there's a merchant going up the mountain for a different reason (i guess to try and examine the properties of the rock the mountain is formed from in order to know how to identify where rainbow crystals form i dont fucking know theyre there for some reason ok) (he is a merchant at a specialized shop in the gemstone business) also he has another dragon guy with glasses and black hair and purple accents with him (I'll talk more about him later)

so then they randomly find est and they're like "holy shit why is this dragon passed out" "IS HE DEAD?" and then est suddenly moves and is like "im so hungry.......  " and they're like holy shit he's starving to death so they bring him to their shop (did i mention they work in a gemstone shop) and feed Est crystals and so he's not starving anymore and est apparently had no idea humans mined out the mountain he was just sleeping snrkkk mimimi snrkkkk mimimi) and he just accepts the situation immediately like everything is fine (he's just a little airhead) and wants more crystals but theyre like "youll have to work at our shop" so hes like "ok" (once again no doubts or complaints, just head empty little Creature) and so he begins working at rhe store (also he is assigned a role to attract customers because he's unusually pretty and the owner (a rich boy who basically just pays for everything because even though he started the shop he's otherwise useless) is like "there's lots of girls who purchase gems as jewelry and girls love pretty guys so if you stand outside we will get a lot of business 😁" (my man is twisted but hes not wrong) so idk maybe Est will stand outside wearing a maid outfit or something. Or maybe it will be a different outfit depending on the day 😁 or maybe special outfits just sometimes as a treat (also hes so clueless and submissive that even though he's completely inept at reciting any of the flirting statements he's instructed to do , he just has customers flock to him anyway because he basically just agrees with everything or says "thats cool! 🙂" to everything)

hell he even attracts males like moths to a light everyone just fucking teleports to him he's just too pretty and clueless and his head just empty and looking at him is like looking at a puppy who is just tilting his head to the side No one can Resist The Scrimble

Ok also here are the different members of the shop

est: you know him

the dragon guy with black hair and glasses + a purple black silver and gold theme (tbn, havent even drawn him yet): manages finances, stocks, does the profit calculations, cashier, basically makes the decisions of the company, manages the budget, etc (he obsessively preaches """logic""" and """intelligence""" so est drives him nuts because est's head is just. Empty and his decisions are so illogical or with such basic motivation that the other guy is like [scrunches up nose] uneducated, dolt,  a buffoon even 

rich boy: owner, funds shop, "owns" shop, otherwise is useless, sus because he won't specify how exactly his family got its fortune, also , he doesn't provide all that much money, i mean its a really good amount, but its not like mega corporation big bucks material, so they are questioning whether his claims of being "massively rich and important" are actually true (actually, his family was just a bunch of countryside bumpkins, and then coincidentally they discovered a large crystal vein under their farm (sort of like finding oil under your property and striking it rich) so they struck it rich and they get paid by the government for mining but yeah theres no rich powerful family corporation theres just good old grandma and grandpa with lots of money due to dumb fucking luck 😁) (rich kid would die if anyone found out) (still need to come up with his name) (he has a very high ego but gets offended easily)

merchant : looks like a kid, actually just short, obsessed with money, kind of(?) twisted (since he's so short he goes out and puts on like a paperboy cap and plays the whole "charming dapper young little man " act to get customers also hes really REALLY good at making a pitch and """"convincing""""" people to buy stuff (it might just be manipulation (?) gatekeep gaslight girlboss) at least he has a good sense of how to do these things i mean every merchant  has to be cunning to be honest but hes just A Silly Twisted Creature (at least he's overly friendly.. actually is that a good thing... i dont know...)

old man: ok so theres this old man that they have as their """"gem appraiser """"" (gem appraisers know everything about gems, bla bla, identify them, buy them, judge their value etc) But actually he does not know shit. They actually just picked him because "he looked wise" (quoting the owner) and so "he looks like he'd know a lot of stuff about gems so it will help people feel convinced to buy" (actually now that i think about it everyone in this business is  a borderline(?) twisted cycle path) Anyways outside of pretending to know shit while hes on shift, the old man is pretty much senile 😁 and he just drinks instant tea (and instant coffee.) and hurts his back all the time. (black haired dragon guy loathes him. if he had a say in it, they wouldn't have hired him)

Actually, until est shows up they have no real gem appraisal only basic knowledge. however est can tell good gems from bad gems. however his descriptions are just "this gem tastes very good." or "this doesn't taste good" or "its sweet" or "the flavor is excellent" like he's rating cuisine. ... so black haired dragon guy has to help "translate" what he says (through a combination of research/studying and having to learn to interpret his statements through trial and error (this mf goes through thr whole scientific method just to translate ests mf food review looking ass descriptions) ( black haired dragon guy is absolutely enraged. seething. how dare he waste his intelligence on translating such an air headed critter

They'll get an actual gemstone appraiser eventually ... hopefully.... maybe....

ok holy shit i wrote a whole book, if you read all of this I fucking love you, if you couldnt get yourself to finish reading this without getting bored/distracted/unfocused/confused etc im actually genuinely sorry because i didnt intend for it to be this long 😭 (pov, the reason behind me almost never writing beyond a sentence for my character descriptions anymore is because i actually DO have a long ass story and lore and plot for them with all this fucking detail but if i were to write it i could release it as an 18 book long series of massive fucking encyclopedias i would fry thr brain of every person on toy house im so verbose i cant control it so i try to hhide it im sorry)
