Shijet's Story

Name: Shijet
Age: Young
Sex: Male
Species: Halloween Lantessaman
Type: Midnight Stalker
Height: 1'6" as hatchling, 5'10" as adult
Abilities:
  • Shadow-Stealth: Shijet has an uncanny ability to fade into shadows, moving through and between them with lightning speed and agility.
  • Teleportation: The ability to teleport anywhere within sight or that can be strongly visualized in the mind.
  • Verbal Speech: The ability to speak aloud. Seems to include the ability to understand any language spoken to him and always be understood, himself. As he would if he were a telepath like most dragons, Shijet suffers no language barriers.
Description: Compared to almost any other bonding-dragon (aside from his clutchmates), Shijet is quite unusual. Being wingless isn't too terribly abnormal, but being bipedal in true human proportion is. Resembling little so much as a human with a dragon's face and tail, Shijet has a plain hide of beige-brown skin and long black hair that stands in wildly tangled spikes, which are kept out of his face by a beaded blue headband of sorts. His eyes are golden and without sclera, like Lanithro's, but also without pupils.

Shijet also has the odd trait of wearing actual clothing in the form of a black loincloth, and he carries around a piece of black cloth that he usually swings over his shoulders like a cape. He also -- rather shockingly for a child -- carries around a small blade much like one of Lanithro's own.

Personality: Shijet definitely does not have the personality one would expect for someone who skulks through darkness and shadow with thoughtless ease. He is energetic and utterly without fear, bold and courageous where his bond is timid and submissive, a swashbuckler to back up the coward. Shijet's only desire in life is to make his bond feel safe and protected, and his bold persona can collapse into misery if he thinks he has harmed Lanithro rather than helped him. It's a heart-rending sight to see the dragon's eyes go wide and well with tears, but he brightens in the same instant that his bond forgives him. The attitude shift is so transient one might think it an act, but Lanithro can feel his dragon's despair through their bond and knows it is assuredly not.
