Zyranax - Dragon

[Xenoxice]

Gender:  Male

Race:  Dragon

Sub-Race:  N/A

Breed:  Night Dragon

Appearance: Zyranax is a 9 foot tall, 48 year old dragon with smooth black skin, 2 horns on his head, one on each side, large claws, glaring red eyes and a gray stripe that runs from the underside of his neck all the way down to the end of his tail. Though he does not have scales, his skin is very thick and serves as his main source of protection. He also wears a necklace that has the tooth of his deceased grandfather passed to him from his mother. This serves as his only reminder of his family.

Personality:  Zyranax has been in solitude most of his life after being abandoned by his family at the age of 5. Although he may be a loner and seem angry most of the time, it's only a front he puts on to protect himself, as he has had to do alone for the past 43 years. His true personality shows he has a deep love and care for those around him. He expresses undying loyalty and kindness to the few who are determined and brave enough to stay around him long enough for him to open up to, but appears hostile to those who only see him for a short while.

Magic:  Poison

Spells:

Poison Breath- Zyranax can breathe a poisonous mist by controlling the expansion and contraction of venom glands on either side of his mouth. This poison is generally used to induce temporary blindness and respiratory problems such as minor degrees of asphyxiation and labored/burning sensation while breathing.

Poison Bite-  In biting his target, he can secrete a neuro-toxic poison from his fangs which enters the bloodstream of his target. Over a period of one week, the poison attacks and eats at the infected creatures nerves, slowly working toward the vital organs causing minor paralysis within 3 days, major paralysis by the 5^th day and death by the 7^th. Although curable by siphoning out blood very carefully over the course of the week, removal of the neuro-toxin is extremely painful due to the fact the poison produces a fiery burning sensation when it comes in contact with air around the area it is being removed. Zyranax rarely uses this ability unless absolutely necessary to save his life due to draining his strength, and knowing what his target goes through.

Skills: Zyranax is a very agile flier. His wings overall size being slightly larger than his body, enable him to specialize in evasive maneuvering and speed due to their strength. He uses this advantage to make the opponent exhaust themselves mostly from attacking before he takes the offensive to finish off the weakened foe.

Biography: Zyranax was born into a family of Night Dragon's. They excel in hunting at night during a new moon when they can blend in with the complete darkness and use their natural affinity for poison magic to silently take out their prey and can see during the night as if it were day to other creatures. Generally Night Dragon's make homes within caves they find or make their own homes by burrowing underground to avoid the sun which they hate. But Zyranax when he was young ventured out during the day and discovered he enjoyed the daylight as much as the night. His family saw him as an abomination, the same fate to all the rare Night Dragon's who enjoyed daylight, and abandoned him for it. Ever since the day he was abandoned he has fought to survive on his own. He was fortunate enough to have learned how to hunt from his father before he was cast away but has never truly acquired a friend to hunt with or talk to. Now, keeping to himself mostly, he ventures out into the world looking for friends and a mate that can accept him as he is and won't judge him for loving the day as much as he does the night. This task is very difficult for Zyranax sadly because of his skepticism and aggressive front towards others thanks to his parents.
