Biography

Lorikeet

He was the child of Plague parents
Born in the land of eternal light
Sent on a trip to woods far away
Before his wings were ready for flight

He was a child blessed by the forest
Called by the trees to their embrace
And so his mother sent him to the Star Wood
Before he could remember her face

It was an act of goodwill
A way for him to find a place called home
Yet if only they knew he’d be left all alone

They brought him to the Star Wood Strand
And told him he’d be okay
Left him with nothing but kisses
And the whisper of his name

“Wait here,” they told him, eyes gentle and kind,
“The other party will come for you when it’s time.
“Don’t fear, our child, you’ll never be left alone
“And when they bring you to your destiniation,
“You’ll finally be home.”

A single mistake, a promise unkept
In the darkness was the hatchling left
He waited patiently with all his small strength
Waited, so long, for dragons who never came

The day dawned, darkened into the dusk
And his strength finally withered
He crawled from his post, trembling
Body shaking from an uncontrollable shiver

Where were they? Where was he?
Was this how it was meant to be?
He was young, and terrified
Accompanied by nothing but the lone night sky

Not a single soul heard his cries
Except for the birds soaring by
The first one heard, followed by more
Until in circles around him they soar.

They landed, and felt, a pressing need
To take the hatchling under their wings
To show him the forest’s magic, his birthright
To take him out of the shadows and into the light.

Thus the hatchling was taken
To live far above
To learn the ways of both
The hawks and the doves

They taught him when to be gentle
And when to be strong
When to fight and when to be calm
They taught him to speak, to dance, to sing
To take to the sky on steady wings

They taught him the music of the forest
The song of the dying night
They showed him the lyrics
Of all the hidden wildlife

So the hatchling grew up
With the sound of the woods in his ears
He learned the ways of the forest
And how each season comes and disappears
He lived in the forest, among the birds
Through thick and thin, for better or worse.

But still he felt that something was missing
Something akin to a home
A place he could always return to
No matter how far he roamed.

He tried to forget about it
Tried to ignore the fact he felt alone
For even surrounded by birds and trees
He never saw the forest as his home

Then one day there was a thunderstorm
That came in the silence with a roar
Sleeping above the trees, he woke
To find his den stolen by the winds and torn
He stretched out his wings to fly
Only to be swept away
The storm took him relentlessly
And dropped him in the Starwind Bay

Drenched, sodden, exhausted to the bone
He pulled himself to shore
Dropped like the dead upon the sands
Closed his eyes and prayed for it to end.

The storm did pass, and the light came again
With the arrival of a nearby Arcane clan
A Fae and a Spiral found him by the shore
And took him with them to their home

So for the first time he woke by a blazing flame
Looked around and saw creatures who looked the same
They took care of his scrapes and fed him
And didn’t hesitate to take him in

“We are the Celestial Star Keepers,” they said.
“The dragons from the stars
“The children of the galaxy
“The dreamers of things that shine afar.”

And with open hearts they invited him
To sit with them beside their hearth
To taste the magic singing in the air
To eat with a safe mind and mirth.
For the first time he found himself laughing
He found his mind at rest, as well as his wings
Perhaps he no longer would have to fly
Searching for that missing something.

It didn’t take him long to join the clan
Though he still isn’t sure why
Perhaps it’s their company that touched him
Perhaps it’s because they were kind.
Whatever the case, though he’s in the clan
He still remembers to wander
To be one with the trees again
And listen to the forest’s songs and ponder

One thing has changed - he’s no longer afraid
Because now he knows
No matter where he is
No matter how far
He knows there’s a home waiting for him
Bathed in the light of the stars.

Lorikeet is the clan’s diplomat, in charge of communicating with the nearby Beastclans and keeping dragonkind and beastkind living in peace. He is responsible for maintaining treaties and contracts and making sure neither side breaks their promises. Due to the childhood he’d spent in the wild, he knows most, if not all, Beastclans tongues, and is sometimes more comfortable with them than the native draconian. This makes him the most suitable dragon for his position, or at the very least, the last dragon who’d cause a war.

Lorikeet is very shy and doesn’t speak up often, mostly because he’s not all that comfortable with the native draconian and he’s embarrassed to speak in Beastclan tongues when in front of his clanmates. Whenever he does speak, however, his voice is a soothing melody, capable of putting the most irate dragons at ease. There’s a very musical lilt to his words that makes it pleasant to hold a conversation - if you don’t mind him accidentally slipping into Beastclan tongues. His clanmates don’t mind, but it’s somewhat disturbing for newcomers when the timid Coatl starts croaking in Wartoad.

It’s difficult for Lorikeet to understand other dragons. To him, dragons are more of another species than close cousins. That doesn’t mean he’s uncomfortable with them, though. Lorikeet feels the safest when nestled by his clanmates, which reminds him of the times he’d cuddled with the birds in the trees. Additionally, he likes relating members of his clan to birds. iSpy is a crow, highly intelligent and capable of just about everything. Fyrste is a hawk, proud, fiercely loyal, and a fighter at heart and in blood. And Cybele… Cybele is a rock dove. At first glance, she seems like just another bird, just another Imperial. Someone who is easily overlooked and sometimes ignored - but at the peril of her enemies. Cybele is strong, but doesn’t look like it. She holds her ground until the last minute, because she needs to, even if she doesn’t want to. She did what she had to, and she persevered. And she always, always knew the way home. Lorikeet can respect that.

Lorikeet himself is a parrot, named by the hummingbirds who once took care of him and taught him how to sing. Like his namesake, he enjoyed travelling with others, and defends his home with more aggression than can be expected from a soft-spoken dragon like him.

Lorikeet loves singing, but he only does it when he believes no one else is around, because he’s embarrassed about being overheard. (A few of his clanmates stalk him anyway, but don’t tell him that.) Despite his bright colors, he can easily camouflage into the surrounding environment, which makes him a great asset in the Coliseum. While he can do battle, he hesitates when attacking any creature that might've provided care for him in his abandonment. However, that doesn’t mean Lorikeet is a pushover or a doormat. He’s very capable of beating sense into his clanmates if he feels like it, though of course, most of the time, he prefers communicating with others first. The moment you step on a plant or hurt an innocent animal, though, all rules go out the window, and so will you. Not much is known about exactly how violent Lorikeet can be, but survivors have reported it’s absolutely terrifying.

And there aren’t a lot of survivors.
