Biography
| ____________ |
The temple was neglected, forgotten after years of disuse and abandonment. Life persisted, and wove between the cracks of the stone, ferns springing up from the floor and dangling flowers decorating the fractured walls. Once a shrine of reverence to a deity, it had become washed out and eroded. Upon the crumbling altar, lay a sun-bleached skeleton. It had long since been overwhelmed with greenery, and particularly hardy plants had grown around the undisturbed bones to stretch to the sky, but it was otherwise perfectly preserved. And in the waning light of the afternoon, it opened its eyes.
────────────────────── ✥ ──────────────────────
They stumble through the undergrowth, vertebra catching on vines and dragging them back. His gait is staggering - his skeleton is not quite whole, and broken toes are not conducive to keeping one balanced. The growth that took him as host only catches and slows him down further. The forest is thicker here, broad tree trunks interrupted by fungi and bright grass dotted with flowers. He crushes several underfoot when he trips over a tree root and crumbles. For a moment, he lets himself lay there, closing his eyes. Flowers cloud his nasal cavity. All he can smell is sweet. Though he is lacking in joints, he swears they ache with exhaustion. The grass pokes at him relentlessly, urging him to get up. He lifts his head begrudgingly, jerking back when a petal pokes him in the eye. The orange trumpet is wilted, and he noses at it carefully, suddenly concerned. Is he dying? Why are his flowers wilting? Voices startle him from his inspection, and he attempts to scramble to his feet. The vines and hanging flowers layering his skeletal wings swing recklessly, throwing him off balance before he can pull himself up. His tail vertebra click together hollowly when he thumps to the ground again. Branches snap nearby, and he looks up sharply, pulling his neck back so as to see the threat properly. "Whoa." A dragon with their body twisted in loops blinks at him with wide orange eyes. Their tail coils behind them, pulsing with a soft sunset light. Their partner more resembles his structure, though as heavily draped in bright blue-green feathers and curling wooden armor as they are, it's difficult to tell the patterning that lays beneath. "What happened to you?"  "Thank Heaven! the crisis -- the danger is past, And the lingering illness is over at last -- and the fever called "Living" is conquered at last." | ____________ |

notes //
- spends a fair bit of time sitting in the sun with their face to the sky, tending to the plants and magic that keep him alive
- physically can't talk (no vocal cords ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) uses some form of sign language to communicate? (kida??) ("some form" past me was so pretentious it's ASL okay i am not inventing a new sign language from scratch)
- can regrow the plantlife with
magic i- when he first wandered into novellia's territory and was discovered "resting" between the roots of a big ol tree by a hunting patrol (zanahoria and kion represent!), artemis traveled upriver to investigate the magic that formed them, as the resident magic expert; she was the one who originally discovered that he was the remnants of a long dead dragon just reassembled into something entirely new. the news was broken to karutahi, who didn't seem to comprehend the significance of the discovery - or rather, separated themself from the bones they were made of, and chose to view themself as an entirely new consciousness
- basically the whole story is just that the former like,, owner of his skelly got magically murdered in a such a way that it left some kind of magic void/imbalance in his bones and as plant life returned to the area all the small amounts of magic/energy in the plants started trying to combine and fill that void and eventually got big enough that BAM new consciousness
- his flowers stick around with him because they're bffs also more skeleton apparel when??
- being born of a natural magic, they retain a pretty good control of it; they can pull roots up from the earth and restrain aggressors with strangling vines (i pick druid every time i play dnd)
-
- aw man does he get to keep his flowers after he gets his flesh casing?? i vote yes he does i'm just not going to elaborate on how that works
- dUDE HE'S A TREETURE OH MY GOD
-
- the written lore above (like,, the stuff above the moodboard not these notes) is kind of old but honestly it could be a lot worse so i'm keeping it
i would've just titled it as "smug knife cat meme" and written out the text but i looked it up to see how recognizable that would be and there are just,, a billion knife cat memes out there
