Profile
physical || (human) He is 25 years of age. stands 5'11" and has a slightly muscular build. Desmond's eyes are a light shade of green. Has merely a few freckles near the corners of his eyes, usually pale and unnoticeable. His black hair is shaved on either side and around the back, then what's on top is generally pulled back into a neat ponytail at the top that is no more than a couple inches in length--a short strand tends to escape this and hangs over his forehead. Will sometimes, particularly for gatherings of any sort, don an ornament at the base of the ponytail. Prefers to keep a clean-shaven face. His appearance takes largely after his maternal side, Chinese, while his father is Irish and you'd never guess it aside from his last name.
(dragon) Long-bodied East Asian, nearly 70 meters in length. Two arms two legs with hawk-like claws and pads of a tiger, long horns that reach back and curl at the tip. He has mainly black scales along his entire body with scattered golden yellow accents, the plumes of mane which lines his back is red. Solid obsidian eyes are lined with golden fringe. There are two long feathered whiskers (also golden) extending from either side of his snout, as all males have.
abilities || Des holds command over the element of water. In much Chinese lore, dragons are depicted as being sorts of water gods and these beliefs are not unfounded. His abilities are far more honed and powerful than Gwen's.
behavior || In a way, he sort of is royalty. Or he aims to be. As the eldest child of two, he's always been given more. He believes that their kind should be rulers over both humans and the supernatural--the dragon race used to be as such, until most died out or were slain for their hides or merely for bragging rights. Desmond thinks they could be all-powerful once again but only if they take what is theirs and do it strategically. He isn't one to let anything get in the way of his goals. honestly he's just a little shit monster and I love him.
He often looks down his nose at others, much like his sister. But unlike her, he tries to make more friends than enemies. He may not particularly like you, but he'll act it if there's something possibly good in it for him down the road. A sweet-talker and a bit of a flirt when he's in the mood. Over confident, very analytical. He's a bit of the silent but deadly type, which makes you think he's more of a snake than a dragon.
history || I don't have a solid story for him but I was really digging an rp I slotted him into a while back where dragons aren't the all-powerful beings one would think they are. Instead they have been enslaved by humans for centuries by magic and chains. Desmond aims to break this curse of being seen as lowly by a species that is obviously lesser than he. Being a slave inside a king's castle, he's worked up to practically being the king's pet at that, he plots to kill the ruler and take his throne, then the world.
