Asimar

He guards the clan with almost single minded dedication. Not really the sort of dragon to have friends or lovers, but by no means is he isolated. Asimar gets front row seats to every discussion Acid and Starshine have ever made. He does absolutely adore his clutch, though he'll never admit it to anyone.

He's a rough and tumble kind of guy, grumpy most of the time and quietly content the rest.

As much as Asimar is a guard for the ruling body of the clan (if you could even call them that), he's more a relic of an ancient time. He's one of the oldest in the clan. The kids think he doesn't know they've relegated him to an advisory position, but he's seen the world turn once or twice. This is his second clan, where he settled with a few friends so he could be with his wife.

Taaffeite was everything. A dying dragon, even when he first met her. They were happy despite that. For years they lived together, had a clutch, celebrated each other and their children.

And when her condition worsened, Taaffeite turned away.

Let me support you, let me take care of you, Asimar begged, as he had for the long years he'd known her, please, let me help.

But Taaffeite was, as she had always been, stronger than him. Mechanics, she told him, is the answer. How could I get sick if I'm mostly machine? It's my passion, my life's work, you know that. Every part of me that dies can be replaced. I only need my brain intact.

Well, it had worked. Asimar watched his wife grow distant. He did what he could for her. Did what he could for their children. In the end, he watched her mind slip away, unable to cope with both the illness and her experiments on her own body. He didn't leave her, of course.

Taaffeite is his wife, the love of his life.

Asimar has seen hell, has watched his former clan get broken up, has seen this clan struggle to stick together when all the pieces want to fall apart. Like one of Taaffeite's experiments, back before she'd become what she is. He's going to stick with her. It doesn't matter who she is now what she becomes in the future.

What does it matter if she only remembers him as a datapoint? He is Taaffeite's.

That's all there is to know.
