Paarth

---

A warrior hailing from Plague, he was captured while young and experimented on by scientists. Shadow-enfused crystals were imbedded in his body in element alignment studies, which eventually resulted in his element changing from Plague to Shadow. Years later he was able to escape and found himself drawn to his new element, but ultimately joined a clan more out of necessity than desire. A clan of Shadow took him in, and was his home for many years until he decided instead to join their allied neighbor.

He is technically enlisted under General Krii, but will never hesitate to question the Imperial's authority even if it makes things difficult for their clanmates. He considers it a test of the Commander's strength, and would cease to obey his orders if he ever backed down. He is very proud of his strength, and considers himself the primary reason this clan hasn't been destroyed.

- Paarth is still a Plague dragon at heart, with a hostile temperament and an ingrained belief that everything else is also hostile and trying to kill you. This means showing weakness is never an option, and he would sooner die than open up to anyone

- If anyone tries to ask about his past he gets immediately defensive

- His elemental powers have switched from Plague to Shadow, but traces of Plague abilities have been seen very rarely

- Will sometimes lash out at any Plague-aligned clanmates. These attacks happen without warning, and his clanmates have learned to be weary around him when there are social gatherings
This mainly happens because Paarth is often overcome by jealousy and anger, that they get to remain the element of his birth while he never had that choice.

- Will occasionally lash out at Shadow-aligned clanmates as well, but this is much less common
