Delightful Dragonet

"You didn't think we'd ever part, did you?"

David is the stealth expert of the Delightful Dragonets From Down the Lane, an exclusive and very close clique consisting of himself, Bruce, Constance, Alessandra, and Lenny. Why exactly they call themselves that is only known to them, although most of the Reversal Pack thinks Father and his helicopter parenting have something to do with it. One thing's for certain, though; the Delightfuls have this weird habit of moving and talking in perfect unison (the latter of which they do in monotone), and by the Shadowbinder is it creepy.

David, due to his Shadow heritage, is one of the sneakier, more mischievous members of the Pack. His main trait, however, is his level-headedness. David is among the most down-to-Sornieth Dragons you'll ever meet, doubling as the Delightfuls' voice of reason. Of course, he only serves as the voice of reason when his siblings want to do something really stupid or dangerous (example: attempting to break up an argument between Sol and Voidwalker); otherwise, he's just as eager to cause trouble as any member of the Villains.

The Delightfuls often find themselves at odds with Sector V, a ragtag gang of Dragonets from the nearby Moonlit Grove Clan, who claim to be part of a super-secret organization of Dragonets united to put an end to "adult tyranny", whatever the heck that's supposed to mean. Sector V blames the Delightfuls for absolutely anything that goes wrong in either Clan, going so far as to "lay siege" to their hatchday parties just to steal the cake. Go figure that David's "nemesis", Abby, is arguably the smartest of the group, yet still thinks the Delightfuls are trying to take over the world or something.

Cupid
Double-Tailed Warcat


"I'm gonna go chase mice. Lemme
know if something interesting happens."

Cupid is David's Familiar, and the stealth expert of the Sinister Felines From Atop the Litterbox (which consists of the Delightfuls' Familiars). Cupid is essentially a mirror image of his master; stealthy and mischievous, with a good head on his shoulders. Although personally, he's a bit more concerned about safety.

The Pack's Familiars often don't interact with the Sinisters, likely due to them sharing the same creepy "talking and moving in sync" habit as their masters. Not like Cupid - or anybody else - particularly cares.

History

Most of the Delightful Dragonets didn't mean to be separated from their biological parents. Abandoned, hidden away, left behind, kidnapped... it wasn't their fault. David is the exception to this. You can't "accidentally" run away.

His parents had wanted him to join the ranks of the Shadowbinder ever since he hatched. They told him that directly serving a Deity was the highest honor a Dragon could receive, that he had to be ready to fight for Dominance. They paid no mind to their son's lack of interest in serving the Shadowbinder, and claimed that it was for the greater good. "You'll thank us later," they said.

Unable to handle the constant pressure, the Hatchling ran away from home. He hitched a ride on the cart of a traveling merchant, hiding under the wares, and made sure to stay out of sight of any other Dragons. He became skilled at hiding in unlikely places and creeping through the shadows, and used these to sneak away when the merchant stopped in the Reedcleft Ascent.

What he hadn't accounted for was how difficult it would be to survive on his own. He was hopeless at catching fish, and his natural Ridgeback instincts made him distance himself from water anyway. Creatures much larger than him would often attack him, and all he could do was run and hide and pray that he wouldn't get caught.

He was found by Benedict on the Wind/Water border, weak and starving. When asked about where his parents were, the Ridgeback made it seem that he had hatched alone. The Imperial asked if he would like someone to take care of him. Wary of being Exalted but unable to fend for himself, the Hatchling accepted.

The newly-named David found company in his new adopted siblings: Lenny, a Nocturne, Constance, a Tundra, and Alessandra, a Pearlcatcher. In time another Hatchling - Bruce, a Fae - would join the brood. Benedict, or Father, as he taught them to call him, did surprisingly well for a first-time parent raising five Hatchlings all on his own. Some say he did a little too well, though, considering how his "Delightful Dragonets", as he liked to call them, grew up rather sheltered and a bit too dependent on their father.

A problem had plagued Father and his Dragonets ever since he first adopted them. Agents of the Dragonets Next Door - a secret worldwide organization of Dragonets united to battle against "adult tyranny" - had been relentlessly hounding them day and night. They claimed that Father was trying to create a Sornieth ruled by adults (which honestly sounds pretty redundant once you get right down to it), and he had kidnapped and brainwashed the Delightful Dragonets to help him do it.

The worst among the DND were the operatives of Sector V, who had decided to make it their sworn duty to steal the Delightful Dragonets' hatchday cake whenever one of their hatchdays rolled around. They claimed that since the Delightfuls wouldn't willingly share the cake with anyone else, they didn't deserve to have any themselves. Never mind the fact that most Dragonets found them creepy and avoided them at all costs.

After years of endless persecution from Sector V and the rest of the DND, everything suddenly fell deathly silent. Father and the Delightfuls decided to use this as an opportunity to move again; they had never settled down with a Clan, instead opting to constantly be moving all across Sornieth. A moving target is harder to hit, after all.

But the long flight from the Sunbeam Ruins to their intended destination in Dragonhome took them over the Tangled Wood - just as a nasty storm began to rage. After nearly getting hit by lightning, and constantly fearing for his Dragonets' lives, Father led them down to the ground and found a small cave dug into the side of a huge rock.

When the storm passed the next evening, the Imperial and his Dragonets found themselves surrounded by Dragons, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed despite it being roughly midnight. From among these Dragons, an obsidian-black Guardian stepped out and introduced himself as Alpha Illusion, leader and founder of the Reversal Pack. He then asked who they were and what they were doing in Anomaly Crater.

After getting an explanation, Alpha Illusion offered them to stay in Anomaly Crater to hide out from the organization that wanted their heads. He explained that the giant rock, Mount Mystery, radiated some sort of otherworldly energy that kept the valley hidden from the rest of Sornieth... except when it chose to attract potential members of the Reversal Pack. It took some persuasion, but Father eventually caved and agreed that he and the Delightfuls would join the Clan.

Things went well for the first couple of weeks, and then the Reversal Pack had an inter-clanial meeting with the nearby Moonlit Grove Clan. The Delightfuls had only just walked into the Great Cavern when they were attacked by some familiar faces: Sector V of the Dragonets Next Door. The situation pretty much went completely downhill from there.

It wasn't until several members of both Clans managed to restrain the ten agitated Dragonets that the Delightfuls learned why the DND had stopped tracking them: they hadn't been picked up by the DND's global satellite network for months. Despite their very vocalized disgust at their Clan being allies with the one that harboured their sworn enemies, the Delightfuls and Sector V reluctantly agreed to Illusion and Yoshi's terms: to not let their rivalry go so far as to willingly kill each other.
Of course, the terms didn't apply for simple acts of putting the other team out of commission. To this day, Sector V and the Delightful Dragonets From Down the Lane frequently butt heads over a large variety of reasons: from petty acts of revenge, to missing Clan members, to simply causing mischief. Like always, their rivalry piques on the Delightfuls' hatchdays, but now the entire Reversal Pack helps protect the cake and gets a fair share of it in return. Of course, Sector V thinks it's all a trick.

Somehow, yet another rumor has been spreading among the ranks of the DND: this time that the Delightfuls have some kind of connection to Sector Z, a group of operatives who "went missing" in action twenty years ago. Supporters of this theory point to the Delightfuls' mysteriously Lightning-blue eyes as the telltale sign, claiming that the color has something to do with the "incident" Sector Z was "lost" in. The good news is, Sector V doesn't believe it; if they did, they'd leave the Delightfuls alone even less than they already do.

The bad news is... the Delightfuls seem to know something they're not sharing...
