{Information}

Mate: Mauler

Pinprick is loud, brash, and has a temper worse than the depths of the Ashfall Wastes themselves. He's prissy, stuck-up, and holds horrible grudges and a very real urge to make even with those that have wronged him. He doesn't like others, and thinks too highly of himself, only deigning to be around others for extended periods of time if, and only if, he respects them. It's because of this that, much like Xyrzo, Pinprick doesn't have many friends within the Flock. However, the dragons he does respect are enough to make him stay in the Flock, as they mean quite a bit to him. That's and he's quite the asset to their fellow battlers.

Pinprick is a master of potions, though his specialty is poisons. Having grown up with Mauler by his side, no parental guidance to speak of, Pinprick had to make whatever money he could by mastering the detailed art of potions. It took long days and nights, working sunrise to sunset, with more than a few accidents. But Pinprick because quite talented at the craft, able to sell his creations for quite the pretty penny. His healing tonics are potent and his poisons even more so, able to paralyze even the biggest dragons-- and quickly stop the heart of others. Some of them are of his own recipe, though these only consist of poisons.

His best friend and true love is Mauler, his partner in crime since the very beginning. He's one of the few that doesn't find her art, taxidermy, immensely disturbing. And she's only of the seldom few who don't find his temper off-putting. Sometimes Mauler will have him act as a living mannequin for her to try out her outfits, dressing him up in all sorts of fancy outfits. Pinprick often puts up a full, hemming and hawing about it being a waste of time, but he secretly loves being "prettied up". His favorite outfit was even designed by Mauler, and she was more than happy to let him keep it after he meekly asked how much she needed the materials.

{Biography}

Pinprick grew up alongside Mauler in a quiet village. They were orphans at birth, two eggs stolen from their clutches and somehow landing in a mostly rural town of Earth. Who would’ve known that such an unlikely pair, two dragons of opposing elements, would become such great friends? Certainly not Pinprick, who at first refused to talk to anyone, not even Mauler. But she was the only other Banescale hatchling in the village, and admittedly, she did seem pretty cool. Not to mention, as he pushed everyone away with his temper, she seemed to push everyone away with his interests, which weren’t even that bad! Two oddballs put at odds against the world, they clung to each other like koalas to trees. The village mostly eschewed them, especially as they turned to a life of thievery to get by. It wasn’t uncommon for them to get attacked by a shopkeeper’s guard-dog, or have a visiting bounty hunter go after their heads for a small price. When it became apparent that they were risking their lives by remaining in the village, they left under the cover of night. Pinprick wanted to poison the main stream, but Mauler talked him out of it. However, this was only the beginning of his lust for revenge.

Time went by. The days go on. Pinprick and Mauler jump from place to place, taking jobs within their respective niches before abandoning the place once they have no more orders. While Mauler’s hobby is largely harmless, the crafting of various trinkets and taxidermied animals, Pinprick’s is more dangerous. Poisons. Lethal toxins. He sold only his best work and did not ask questions. What they did with his craft was not of his concern. As long as there was a market, there was money, and Pinprick wasn’t going to give that up anytime soon. The need for every penny they could get their claws on stopped when they met Tsarae, who formed her own Flock after Pinprick, Mauler, and two other dragons kept following her around. One might think that Pinprick wouldn’t need to sell his most deadly poisons to strangers now that he was actually part of a Flock, and for the most part, they’d be right! But where money wasn’t a problem, Pinprick’s temper was.

Not all clans received the Flock well. Clans especially populated by Ice dragons, Tundras, and most notably Gaolers seemed to resent their very existence. It wasn’t uncommon for one Banescale to be picked on during their stay, as in the beginning the Flock was small, and wasn’t perceived as much of a threat. Pinprick was especially popular for harassment, given that he had a temper and would often snap back. It all came to a head when a wealthy Gaoler organized a chain reaction which caused Pinprick to be drenched in tar and feathers. It did not hurt, but it was humiliating, and had ruined the outfit Mauler made him. For Pinprick, it was the last straw. Without telling the rest of the Flock, Pinprick snuck into the food storage within the Gaoler's home and meticulously poisoned every scrap he could find. When the Gaoler held a bountiful feast the next day, all of them experienced a painful destruction upon their digestive tract. Of course, it didn't take a detective to figure out the culprit. Pinprick was hunted down by the clan's authorities, and only spared from death by the fact that Tsarae and Mauler went against the rest of the Flock's wishes to save him. He received a nasty scolding, but at least that was better than having his head separated from his neck. From then on, Pinprick gained a respect for Tsarae as great as his respect for Mauler, never daring to take a revenge so bold again. He is on watch, and isn't exactly the most trusted, but he does his job and doesn't complain. That's enough for him.

{Trivia}

To Pinprick, a good relationship can only be built off of respect. This includes romantic relationships, platonic relationships, friends, family-- Pinprick will only tie himself to those he finds worthy. Which is very few. The company he frequents is found most often in Mauler, his rambunctious mate who he shares history with. The two often exchange banter tik-for-tak, and come out of it quite humored. He deeply respects Tsarae for all she has done for him, and despite their close age, sees her almost as a motherly figure. He knows Menacing by association with Mauler, and by extension Mockery as well, and he likes them. They go on double dates sometimes.
Pinprick's defining battle tactic lies in his skill with potions. If given the chance to prepare for battle, he'll dip his many spines in a poison tonic. Then, all it will take to immobilize his enemies is a single poke. He's very particular about what toxins he will use, as he doesn't want to kill anyone. However, each battle runs this risk, as his tonics are very strong and can be fatal if too much are injected. Thus, his mind is always racing while in the heat of battle, planning his next move twenty steps in advance.
Very bisexual, though he's never dated until now. He, Mauler, Mockery, and Menacing all have an arrangement when, sometimes after their double dates, they won't part ways expressly with their mates.

I’ve told you this already, Elysian, and I won’t hesitate to tell you it again. My past is mine to know, not yours. I don't care how many times we have to go over this again. I'm not saying a thing.

Yeah, yeah, "we're only as sick as our secrets", blah blah blah.

Listen. Really listen, alright? I know you want to help. I really do. You're heart is in the right place, okay buddy? I know that. I get it.

We all deal with our "sins" in different ways, okay? I don't care how "tainted" you think my soul is. I've never killed anyone, nor laid a damn claw upon another. I've never manipulated someone else, or done anything to hurt someone that hadn't hurt me first. I'm not like that. I'm not a bad guy. Yeah, sure, I have a temper, and no I do not want to talk about it!

Buddy, I know you had a crappy childhood. I know that you were hurt. And I'm sorry that it happened, I really am, even though I had nothing to do with it. But just because talking makes you feel better doesn't mean that it works for me. I don't care if Tsarae wants me to keep talking to you just because my anger can get out of hand sometimes. I will sit here and glare at you in complete silence for as long as it takes for you to leave me damn well enough alone.

Oh look, our time is up. Whoop-dy-doo. See you next week, pal.
