The Basics

Standing at a modest twenty-foot tall, this adult dragon has an unusual
look of both wisdom and strength in his eyes, his expression almost
seeming to be almost always in a borderline menacing stare. However
beneath all the muscles and intimidating appearance, lies a curious
soul, one who doesn't know how to react quite right in many situations.
He can often be found licking his own lips while interacting with
another, usually coming off as someone who was looking for a meal, but
as time goes, it would seem as though it were some sort of an odd habit.
Though despite the initial expression of cocky dragon, he had control
over certain muscles within that angular face of his to add a more
serious, quizzical and sometimes playful expression if needed, though
even in his relaxed state, he still seemed a tad arrogant from just his
neutral facial expressions alone.


His weight would shift from time to time, tail swaying casually
behind himself while he watched his new company at the time,
occasionally taking a glance here or there upon their figure, sizing
them up to see if he could possibly deal with them should they turn
hostile. Should he ever find himself in a situation where he should
escape, his great wingspan would come into play, the muscles beneath his
frame tensing before launching himself up into the air with a sudden
jump and push of his wings. From there his legs would tuck more inward
to narrow out his body as his wings took over a majority of the flight,
only using the great mass at the end of his muscular tail to keep
himself counter-balanced and to assist in the need of sharp turns and
quick dives, able to use it to shift his center-of-gravity incredibly
quickly.


The narrow and pointed features of his head actually made things
much easier for the dragon when in flight, able to all-but-flatten his
body in flight to where he could easily allow the surface of his wings
to pick up any updrafts to keep himself soaring. Effortless flight was
his nature and he took great advantage of it; able to travel great
distances without having to exert himself, but also able to pick up
immense speed in order to escape if necessary. Of course the secondary
traits of his body, including the various luminescent features, fins and
incredibly smooth scales upon his body also served him well when he
took to the water, able to swim almost as effortlessly as he could fly.
While his breath-holding capabilities were less-than-stellar, due to his
great preference to taking to the skies rather than to take the elegant
'flight' of the undersea lifestyle, the dragon was still capable of
holding it for a quarter of an hour before needing to return to the
surface.


The drake in question was quite intelligent, though seemingly
incapable of speech with other species save for his own, despite the
various capabilities that he innately possessed. Like most dragons, he
possessed the ability to "breathe fire", launching a broad, conical
attack directly from his mouth, able to deter foes and destroy other
things with relative ease. The various luminescent portions of his body
would glow brighter as he was about to loose forth the breath, before
letting out a great breath of silvery-laced blue and purple crackling
energy composed entirely of pure, untamed magic. The chaos of the magic
within the drake's body gave him a great amount of power, yet with
nowhere to use it, he often found himself passively picking up on
magical effects with a minor shift in focus.

He possessed an abnormal
breath weapon, comprised entirely of untamed magics, also known as
Arcane Energy. Much of his body courses with the untapped
potential of pure magic, though the dragon still doesn't have complete
control over what it is that he could do if he had the time or desire to
try to tap into it. He's a bit of a tender soul despite his outward
appearance, capable great feats of compassion and caring, though finding
himself in situations where he simply could not show that side of
himself. The sign of a dragon soaring above or strolling across the
landscapes almost always tended to lead to a war party greeting him with
weapons brandished or some wayward knight looking to claim their own
fame and fortune, or even a wizard seeking out some sort of hide or
magical gland contained within dragons alone for their weird
concoctions.


Thus the dragon finds himself alone much of the time, usually taking
to a forest or a mountain pass just to help conceal his natural and
ever-present luminescence from the random passer-by from the open roads
and plains abound, which leaves him to his thoughts and musings, able to
focus some of that energy within his body to try to enhance the ease of
his own life or alter the landscapes around himself, and even to help
and assist his interactions with others. Still unable to figure out how
to try to impart some of his knowledge of the complex language of the
dragons upon others, he did have his own little powers that he did have
complete control over and had no issues using them upon others or in the
region around himself.

Powers

• Breath Weapon -- Pure Arcane energy, a form of wild magic that can
  both be devastating and fantastical when harnessed correctly. The cone
  of magical energy is able to be focused to strip away only layers of
  something rather than the complete destruction of whatever it is being
  focused upon. Areas that have been struck by the magical energy are left
  glowing with a purple flame and faint silvery-blue runes rising into
  the air for several minutes, able to cause headaches or migraines for
  those who move through the area, though unable to cause persistent
  damage like that from a fire-based or acid breath weapon.
  

• Magical Identification -- The dragon is able to passively identify
  lower levels of magical energy, such as spell casts and enchantments
  just without the need to focus upon where the source is, his vision
  innately highlighting those enchantments upon items and even triggers
  for magical traps. Though for greater magics, he must go out of his way
  to focus upon whatever it is to try to figure out what it is, thus why
  he tends to shy away from powerful casters.
  

• Growth -- The drake's various luminescent portions of his body
  will glow and pulsate brighter on occasion before imparting some of the
  magics within his body to cause growth of either himself or those whom
  he is with, though while it comes from an untamed source, the attempt is
  easily waived off by anyone that is being affected by it. Should one
  find themselves growing around him, if unwilling, they will return to
  normal size once again before the full effects can take place. This
  growth is purely temporary, only lasting for a few hours, though it can
  easily be extended through additional focus from the drake.
  

• Silent Movement -- Perhaps his greatest personal achievement thus
  far, the drake is able to silence his footfalls, despite his great size
  and weight; though he couldn't stop the pulsating glow from the various luminescent portions of his body while he projected a short-distance aura of pure silence around his
  feet. So while he was capable of sneaking up on someone in broad
  daylight, he was completely incapable of the feat if someone were
  conscious enough to notice any form of light in darker areas.
