Zerifan Aythrodox application

Personality and the Basics


Name: Zerifan Aythrodox
Pronunciation: Zer-Ee-fahn Aye-throw-Docks
Gender: Male
Type: Wyrm
Species: Arial Cloud Wyrm
Age: 180
Date of Birth: 10/12
Personality: Zerifan himself seems to be a rather joyous character, always smiling and bobbing along with an enthusiastic manner about him shifting gently around in the air as weightless as a feather, he’s excessively kind and almost sees it as a duty to prop up the downtrodden and punish the wicked. He’s famously good with hatchlings too, prime dad material.

With this manner seems to come an inflated ego and a dose of unpredictable behaviour where he can shift from witty cruelty to murderous rage in seconds depending on the offence committed. He’s also a little appearance obsessed, his pearly white scales must remain purely white or risk his severe anxiety and or Anger, he spends hours polishing them to an almost reflective shine
Hobbies: Scale Grooming is something he very much enjoys and has made a part time business out of it, he will polish your scales to their fullest if you give him a few hours and a reason to work hard.

Storytelling, He’s a entertainer by trade and uses his amazing memory to retell his adventures in the form of song and dance, often utilising a variety of instruments.

Gossip, he’s a natural gossiper, and rumours often bring money.
Likes: Being very pretty and shiney, almost as an obsession he will polish his scales into a pearly whiteness even royals will be jealous of. He loves good food and drink, perhaps a little too much to the point that Drunk Zeri isn’t a rare sight at parties.

Money is a big driver for him, one of the reasons behind most of his antics is to secure coin.
Dislikes: (Is there anything your character dislikes? At least 3)
Dirtiness is the Bane of his existence, he hates it and will hate you if you make him into such a state.

Annoyance, anybody heckling his shows will feel his wrath, anybody randomly bothering him too.
Fears: Being humiliated publicly is very anxiety inducing for the Wyrm to the point that the very thought of it keeps him up at night with his second biggest fear being grounded, to be made slow and weaker, unable to gracefully float off the ground as he usually does.
Quote: “I often feel like a god up here”

History: The Wyrm was born an only child in a household with only his mother, a grounded Wyrm whom studied the sciences and raised him at the same time, she assured he was literate and tried her best using her knowledge of physics to teach him how to safely use his natural flying abilities as Cloud Wyrms rarely landed unless it was for sleeping.

Many a night was spent trying to coax him down from the rafters after getting himself stuck in the thatched roof. In the years before adulthood he took interest in music and discovered his incredible knack for memory that served him in remembering archaic texts and his own experiences to such a degree that he could repeat them verbatim, often using song and rhyme to transmit them in a more entertaining light. His secondary discovery was that of his own anger..a rather explosive side if himself that completely consumes him and activates the Cloud Burn’s natural affinity for storm magic which made his childhood tantrums annoying and his adult rages incredibly destructive.

When he wasn’t doing that he was flying through the clouds to explore the world.

Abilities and Strengths


Abilities:

All abilities MUST include:
- Name: Gemstone Tail
- Brief description of what it does:The arrowhead spike on the end of his tail can be used as a weapon during attacks, it’s tips are sharp enough to pierce and cut
- Appearance A milky white crystal arrowhead on end of his tail, it’s quite sizeable, roughly a few feet wide and long
- Cooldown time (if applicable):
- Range 40 feet (aslong as he can swing it, which theoretically is as long as he is)
- How hard it hits (if applicable): The sharp tips can cut and pierce unprotected flesh but even if that doesn’t work the sheer blunt force would do something.

Strengths: The dragon possesses excellent memory to the point that he can recall precise details from his past, even perfect words and phrases.

His natural ability to float and fly offers him many many options in combat including a 360 degree area of attack.


Weaknesses: Being constantly in the air gives the weakness of having his entire body exposed to some degree and makes him very slow on the ground by comparison.

Physical weakness: He isn’t the strongest fellow and again due to his constant floating lifting heavy objects is quite hard as it’ll drag him down to the floor or significantly slow him down.

Zerifan is prone to excessive anger thus making him wreck less or excessively dangerous

Fighting Style: Airborne whiptail fighter
Magic:

All magics MUST include:
- Name: Air Manipulation
- Brief description of what it does: Zerifan has passive/active control of air speed/current/pressure around him, this is the cause of his floating and can be used offensively to blast enemies away or assist others in flying like he does.
- Appearance (if applicable): Gusts or wind
- Cooldown time (if applicable): Floating (Constant/Passive)
Active manipulation (Depends on size of action, small can be used repeatedly (air pressure bubbles/gale force gusts) , larger actions require minutes to hours (hurricane/tornado))
- Range (if applicable): Line of sight, within 40 meters any direction
- How hard it hits (if applicable): Varies

Name: Storming State

Brief description: This ability is incredibly restricted or cut off when the cloud Wyrm is calm and not in any mortal danger, this state only develops on times of increased anger or in response to the fear of death, it is not a controllable transition. All other magical abilities aside from passive floating are inaccessible

Onset of this ability is shown by the scales of the Wyrm slowly changing to a deep black, so dark that it absorbs almost all the light it touches, uncontrollable arcs of lightening spark from the Wyrm knocking around objects and shocking those near it. On the other end of the scale is the breathing of impressive blasts of lightening that spew from the maw like a beam that singes and burns and destroys often accompanied by ear aching screeches of bloodthirsty rage.
Appearance: see above.

Cool-down time: hours, this process is incredibly exhausting and mentally strenuous for the Wyrm. Zeri himself avoids this state as much as he can and is only forced into it after much pain and suffering.

Range: Varies

How hard it hits: incredibly hard, serous electrocution.

Abilities:
For Air Manipulation, is he creating real hurricanes/tornadoes, or just the air speed of them?
Storming State: How long can he maintain the state? How many blasts of electricity can he generate? From his maw only? If this is some sort of 'invincible' state, it will have to change.
