Rateevko- Lord of Sleep

Name: Rateevko
Pronunciation: Rat-eve-ko
Gender: Male
Type: Western
Species: Just an average western, though he is a genetic dwarf of his species.
Age: 7 years
Date of Birth: December 30th
Personality: Ratty continues to prove that he is a momma's boy. He also finds amusement in joking with other dragons. He has retained a child-like personality and tries to make friends with anyone who tolerates him. Rat likes roughhousing despite the cuts and bruises he easily gets from doing so. He'll be defiant to a point; only submitting himself to dragons who very much scare him. Imagine him as the little Chihuahua yipping at a big dog trying to protect its owner. That's pretty much a good summation of Rateevko's personality. As he gets older, and through in thread experiences, his personality may change bits at a time. He tends towards energetic as if over caffeinated, and rarely sleeps himself.
Hobbies:  Despite how easy he can get hurt the poor boy is a bit of a thrill seeker at times. Fishing is both a like and a hobby for the kid, as well as trying to out fly storms coming in.
Likes: He is very child-like and enjoys performing practical jokes on others or just playing games with them. He also likes to fish and fly. Eating takes up a good amount of his time as he likes the taste of all kinds of food. He has a little pot belly because of the love of food he has. Flying fast and dangerous is also something he enjoys.

Dislikes:  Scary things, unfamiliar faces, impatient dragons, ice, cold things or places, and rain.
Fears: He fears angry dragons, the dark, thunderstorms, fire, water, sharp things, pointy and sharp ice, the freezing cold, and rough objects.
Quote: "Why is everyone always tired!!" -usually said when its night time or dragons are falling asleep around him. He tends towards energetic as if over caffeinated.




Place of Origin: The edge of Stormcaller territory in a rogues nest.
Tribe: Should have Stormcaller allegiance considering the fathers a part of said tribe.
Position: Baby, eventually a diplomat.
Language: He will learn every known language from the libraries and scholars residing within Stormcaller tribe. At present he knows little bits of every language and speaks as you would imagine a seven year old would.
Home: A nest on a crag high upon the face of a mountain.
Parents: Mother is Areo Dynamic and father is Moonwing.  
Siblings: Asero is a full brother, Moonstone and Zorya are his full sisters. After he turns age seven his parents have another clutch of eggs including Nyedra and Luca. He also has an adopted brother named Blaze.
Relatives: Nightstrike and Eveningsong are aunts, Kurai and Linus are uncles.
Mate: n/a
Offspring: n/a
Other Relationships: n/a
History: Incubated in an egg until "POP" he hatches out into the world. Then he was raised by Areo and Moonwing. Rateevko sometimes visits the Stormcallers with his father Moonwing but mostly Rat stays with his mother near the nest.



Height: Seven year old size he is only one foot tall from ground to head, and only seven inches tall from ground to shoulder.
Adult size he reaches five feet and seven inches tall from the ground to his head. He is only two feet and three inches tall from the ground to his shoulder.
Length: Seven year old size he is only a two and a half feet in length from tip of snout to tail. Most of that length being neck and tail.
Adult size he reaches eleven feet and three inches long from the tip of his snout to his tail. Again most of this is neck and tail.
Wingspan: Seven year old Rats wingspan is only three feet in length. His adult wings are thirteen feet and two inches long and are soft and leathery much like a bat's wings are.
Scale/Fur/Feathers: He is scaleless, with delicate soft leathery skin much like a humans. His leathery skin is stark white in color dappled by light gray speckles in some places.
Eyes: His eyes go from pale pink to deep ruby red closer to the irises.
Accessories: n/a
Horns/Spikes/Fins:  He does have two small ivory horns at the top of his head. They sit just behind his temples though they are short and dull so even they don't look intimidating at all.
Overall Appearance: Rateevko's body is long and lean but not hugely snake-like how some dragons can be. He can curl his body around himself once and that's it. Rateevko is muscular but with his diminutive size he does not look like a threat to pretty much everyone around him. His small pot belly helps to make other dragons underestimate him. In fact, had he not gained his lengthy body from his parents he would very much look like a giant naked white bat with legs and a long tail. His tail, by the way, looks like a rats tail. It is long and thin tapering to the end.




Abilities:  With the huge number of weaknesses this dragon has how has he survived at all? Perhaps because of the one special ability he received from that small fragment of Xoya heritage. Rateevko can pretty much put to sleep anyone around him within one hundred and fifty feet. This ability affects small and large dragons equally, and since Rateevko cannot do any damage trying to attack it is the only thing that balances his strength and weaknesses out. The gas spreads around on its own like mist or fog, though this is after Rat has already released it from his lungs. When he initially releases it from his jaws he blasts the gas out about ten feet out at a speed that mirrors a fire breather releasing a stream of fire at an opponent. The haze dissipates from the area after four minutes. Rat can only use this haze ten times before he runs out of gas. Afterwards it takes a good meal and a few hours of rest to replenish his supply of sleeping gas.

Here's a tip, one really easy way of not falling asleep would be to hold your breath while going after Rateevko and exiting the haze cloud before breathing once more.

Since this dragon does not have any other special ability or body strength he cannot physically harm another dragon. He's just not physically strong enough to do so. So putting them to sleep for a while is his best and only offense+defense. Remember that because of his parents he is 1/2 Stormcaller, 1/4 Xoya, and 1/4 Vuari (replacement for lightwing???idk).

All abilities MUST include:
- Name: Dormouse
- Brief description of what it does: A potent gas exhaled from his lungs; if inhaled other dragons instantly fall asleep. The haze itself dissipates from the area after four minutes, but can be blown away by wind.
- Appearance (if applicable):  Rat releases a gaseous dark haze from his lungs with the gas spreading around on its own like mist or fog. This is after Rat has already released it from his lung; however, when he initially releases it from his jaws he blasts the gas out about ten feet out at a speed that mirrors a fire breather releasing a stream of fire at an opponent.
- Cooldown time (if applicable): As this is his only defense and it is made in his lungs biologically he can exhale it with ever exhale if he wanted. Basically no Cooldown.
- Range (if applicable): 10 feet in front of him as a baby, as he grows this might be extended with practice.
- How hard it hits (if applicable):  Ten minutes is the maximum time a dragon will sleep for whereas most wake up after six or seven minutes.

Strengths: Rateevko will become a master flyer. He will be faster than pretty much everyone but other Stormcallers of the same size. Flying is pretty much the only real defense he has against an attack.
Weaknesses: Due to being scaleless, Rateevko can be sliced to bits by even the dullest claws or blades. Heck, as a baby he gets cut up just from playing over gravelly terrain. The weakest of flames can roast him alive and don't get me started on lightning. Lightning bolts will also most likely roast him and if he does survive being hit by them Rateevko would likely fall unconscious or become paralyzed. Cold is something else that can seriously injure him. Without scales he cannot ward off frostbite easily. Getting stuck in a snowstorm without being by another dragon for warmth would likely kill him rather quickly. An ice beam kind of attack from an ice magic user would definitely not be good. One hit by any of the above would most likely fatally injure him.

Water is one of the few things that might not kill him. Well... If he was hit by a giant wave, a hydro pump attack, or dragged under for a lengthy period of time he would probably drown or die upon contact. Rateevko CAN swim though he is not good at it.

Regular power attacks by other dragons larger than himself will also do serious damage. Basically Rateevko is a weakling who can't take a hit.
Fighting Style: He may try to fight but Rateevko can't do any damage to anyone. He can't bite anyone to kill them because his jaws are too small (both as a hatchling and an adult) and his claws are just too small and weak to even scratch an opponent. The only dragon he might be able to attack is one of equal size, but even then he is at a huge disadvantage because of being scaleless. The best attack he could do in that situation is to body slam them. Even with dragons his own size Ratty wouldn't be able to bite or claw through their scales. The only even fight he could get into is one against another scaleless dragon of his own size.

So basically everyone can kill him quite easily. If they don't fall asleep around him first.
Magic: (Is your draconiforme capable of magic? What kind of magic? Magic is different from abilities, as there's no biological explanation for what they're doing; i.e. throwing fireballs, summoning storms, manipulating water etc...)

All magics MUST include:

- Please Note** If he learns magic it will be from in game/in thread learning as he grows and may be asked to be added later. He currently knows no magic.

- Name: n/a
- Brief description of what it does:n/a
- Appearance (if applicable): n/a
- Cooldown time (if applicable): n/a
- Range (if applicable): n/a
- How hard it hits (if applicable): n/a
