Biography

b34ba28386ba6a2cf9791a05726e6e40.gif {quill}
A dragon of few words, Quill buries himself in his work. His voice is low and husky and his room is always a mess. His body is covered in fine ink, his claws a multicoloured facet from his paints. He is very fond of painting accurate images, akin to fine art of old days.

He has a friend, Jargon, who he likes to unwind with, despite their age differences. They like to go have a drink together at the bar or go for a stroll near the Aviary on particularly nice days. Their friendship was an odd one, where Jargon was merely enthralled with the simple poetry that Quill could recite, and the guardian was chuffed, but happy to oblige. The two also spend their time reciting and writing poems together, some beautiful, some trashy stuff other dragons have dubbed "memes".

Quill has a fondness for solitary camping, and will sometimes go without a word to go inspire himself in the wide open world.

Not many dragons would believe that a Guardian could make a career out of being a calligrapher and a scribes-dragon. Their size would suggest something ungraceful, wide and uncontrollable movements that are not suitable for such delicate brushes. Quill destroys all preconceptions of such ideas and rumors upon seeing his work.

Most of his days are spent within the workshop, literal yards of parchment paper covering every table surface with various inks and watercolor tubes to decorate his works. They are the color of the coast, the sunrise and sunset, the soft sand and leaning trees. Every conceivable color known to dragonkind can be found or produced in this room with him at the helm, guiding them into beautiful works of art. These are commonly hung in guest rooms and in key locations around the Resort to enhance their image. It brings enjoyment and revenue as customers ask for a specially designed piece to bring home to their family.

As a calligrapher he also has the special job of writing official letters and announcements that are to be sent out from the Resort. He has a special section curtained off from the rest of his workshop to separate his inks from one another. These letters are made with graceful characters and wording, conveying the right emotions needed within the letter for whatever purpose they might be. His skills are unlike any other within the Resort and Quill takes great pride within ever work, be it letter or calligraphy. There is one piece of work that he is particularly proud of and holds very dear to him.


On his back, amidst all of the water filled lanterns and golden jewelry decorating his being is an aged parchment paper that has writing on it. Careful reading of the scroll reveals that it is simply a set of rules and regulations concerning how to create calligraphy, the proper handling of brushes, and the types of inks that can be used. It is all very ordinary in the eye of another; for Quill, this was his first successful attempt at calligraphy and writing that became his Charge. His Charge is not only the parchment paper that he created, but the very words upon them. It is his duty to uphold these rules, to promise to do his absolute best whenever he picks up a brush to create. He protects the very art of calligraphy if one were to think that far.

And when he is feeling particularly energetic about his work, he invites the residents of the Resort to witness a live painting session that leave many breathless.

It starts out with a giant bolt of cloth, spread across the entire paved entry way to the Resort. There are tubs of ink spread around the edges of it along with a brush of disproportional size. It draws many curious eyes that causes guests to stand to see the purpose of them. Quill appears from the Resort, donning an Arcane scroll blessed to help him fly and levitate ever so slightly above the ground. He only wears it for these sort of occasions and it is for a very important purpose.

He walks upon the cloth, his feet carefully padding across with the help of his scroll. Music appears from within the Resort as he lifts the giant brush with grace and control. It dips into the ink, staining the white brush black. Just as he’s about to start and begin painting, the music takes a hard turn. Suddenly, the brush turns and hits the cotton hard, spreading the ink out in an explosive arch. Quill is moving rapidly, dangerously, conveying the power of a Guardian with how easily he moves the giant brush. The ink chases after him, turning corners and swinging paths that transform into characters with such ferocity not usually seen within Quill. He is dancing, moving to the beat of the music and letting the brush twirl around him. Yet anyone watching his face can see he is calm. He is in control of his work and wishes for everyone to see the passion and grace that he can achieve as a calligrapher.

The brush is Put Away only to be replaced by another and dipped into other colored tubs. These are his watercolor inks and he spreads them across the cotton like water over sand. Colors appear where there were none and create an image of a grove, with bending grass and lightning bugs dancing around his words. Paper lanterns are painted onto a night sky that captivates his audience, silent in admiration and wonder at the skill he is displaying. And as sudden as it starts, it ends with him quietly bowing and leaving the stage.

His work is done and Quill lets his painting dry in the bright sun to be gazed upon by so many that appreciate his skill and power as a Guardian who can make the whole world pause with a stroke of a brush.
