a scary, stern-looking dragon prince. since he's a prince, he's very demanding and entitled. he seems mean, but it's just cause he doesn't know any better. he's really fucking stupid. like REALLY fucking stupid. he's not good at talking and is definitely a man of few words, though he assumes everyone's on the same wavelength as him, which they are not. very stoic with a major resting bitch face. like... very scary looking. and that's just his human form. wait until he turns into a giant murder lizard!

he has a lil boytoy named laoshu who started as his servant. they're in love but they have their... problems. because of ling zhou's aforementioned "talking issue". he is not the kindest or the gentlest and he does not really understand humans or how fragile and sensitive they can be. as such, he seems to be needlessly harsh and rough with laoshu to the point of being cruel. but it's... unintentional... he just thinks that's how you treat everyone and never rlly thought to ask laoshu how he felt about it. they'll... work it out maybe....

he's at least mostly a vegetarian

he courts laoshu by bringing him fancy stuff or like. big scary dead animals that he's killed. he's like a cat bringing his owner presents

he stays in his human form most of the time. he didn't for a While, but now he's like... enjoying being a human

he doesn't brush his hair. it's really thick and tangly and it'll straight up break combs.

his dad's a black dragon and his momma was a gold dragon. she's dead now but his dad's still around. he has kind of a weird relationship w his dad cause he hates humans, but ling zhou's kinda like... ehh.. they're okay? obviously inferior to Us but like. idk?
