friendly • cheerful • relaxed

Cloud Nine is a rainbow dragon living in a city filled with secret magic. At first glance, he is a relaxed and friendly person -- he loves to befriend others, and puts effort into maintaining the relationships he forges. His memory is often challenged, but he is at least good with names and faces. He enjoys being helpful to others, though sometimes he takes his desire to solve problems for other people a bit too far.

He has weak but distinctive magic. Without the opportunity or commitment to hone his skills, it is unlikely to grow stronger. He can sense the emotions of others, with a particular sensitivity for negative emotions, which compels him to attempt to help those around him. He can also sense and even speak with invisible spirits in the world around him, though it can be a challenge to determine which are real spirits, and which are a product of his active imagination.

Cloud Nine has POTS and uses a cane to help him maintain his balance in everyday life.

Past

Cloud Nine discovered the magical underbelly of his hometown near the end of high school, and quickly became obsessed with learning more about it, to the detriment of his performance in school. After graduating high school, he chose a college in town in order to stay close, and began to establish himself as a part of the magical community.

Because of his late introduction to the concept of magic, the abilities he manifested never turned out particularly powerful -- but they were enough. Sensing the emotions of those around him helped him to make close friends, and speaking to the invisible spirits that shared his town with him earned him a reputation as a ghost whisperer. With that, he had all he really needed.

Present

Cloud Nine is technically enrolled in a local school, but has elected to take his classes very slowly in order to give himself more time to spend embroiled in the magical side of his city. He is reluctant to graduate, convinced that having to find a real job will take too much of his time away from his true passions.

In the meantime, he does odd-jobs for those people in his city with a bit more awareness of magic. "Ghost hunting" is not uncommon for him, though it isn't often as exciting as it sounds. He has made a handful of friends through simply showing up to help them enough times.

He has gained a handful of occasional spirit companions who urge him in different directions at different times. Some of them are near-constant presences, constantly making comment on his life; others are mere visitors, moving on when their curiosities are satisfied. It can be very difficult to know which ones are real and which ones might be imagined, unless Cloud Nine decides to ask his friends to corroborate his experiences.
