NeoJr

Backstory: Everyone expected NeoJr to be like his father. Neo Senior and Leon may bet large amounts of treasure that NeoJr would have his father’s sense of humor. Umira and Nira bet that NeoJr would turn out to be a fiercesome warrior like his mother. However, NeoJr didn’t really meet anyone’s expectations. NeoJr was a big hoarder when he was a hatchling. NeoJr also developed a love of taxidermy. When NeoJr reached adolescence, the nocturne dragon announced that he was going to be an artist. Many of the Aquafire Clan’s members were surprised by this statement because NeoJr could only draw stick figures (and even those stick figures looked pretty bad). Leonardo, the Aquafire Clan’s first artist, didn’t feel like his position was being threatened...or at least, he felt that way up until NeoJr sold a piece of paper (that was completely blank aside from red horizontal line going through it) for 100,000,000 treasure. Leonardo sold most of his paintings (which took at least a month to complete) for that much. NeoJr explained to Leonardo that he was a modern artist not a simple artist. Leonardo tried to prove to NeoJr that there was no such thing as a ‘modern’ artist and what NeoJr was making could not be called art. However, NeoJr still continued to sell strange nicknacks he claimed was modern art and dragons still bought them. Pretty soon, NeoJr and Leonardo became bitter rivals, constantly at war to see who could get the most treasure from their art. Most of the dragons in the Aquafire Clan are okay with Leonardo’s and NeoJr’s rivalry because most of the money the two dragons make does go to charity (so it was all for a good cause). The rivalry between NeoJr and Leonardo is still ongoing.

Personality: NeoJr is quiet most of the time. However, the nocturne dragon tends to say strange, spooky things when he does speak (this intentional on the nocturne’s part because he loves to give other dragons the creeps). NeoJr does have a tendency to pet his familiar Ratworth fanatically while laughing villainously when he is plotting something...but for the most part NeoJr means well...hopefully.

Clan Position: Modern Artist/Taxidermist/Hoard Organizer

Familiar: NeoJr found Ratworth in the depths of the Aquafire Clan’s hoard (which is mostly underwater). The fanrat had been the real reason large some of the Aquafire Clan’s meat had been disappearing from their hoard. Although, the nocturne dragon chose not to disclose that information when he brought the fanrat from the archives of the Aquafire Clan’s hoard to outside world. NeoJr declared that this fanrat was art, but far to valuable to be sold. Ratworth loves to help NeoJr find the loosest possibile definitions of art and animal parts for NeoJr’s strange taxidermy creations.
