Iron

(Note from Draco: ID (As I call him) has not yet met Emblem nor is he aware of the other Variants, read Emblem's bio for more info)
Also: Staff give us more casual/non-festival mining apparel please.

Iron is an industrious miner and excavator. He could spend hours or even days mining for resources and he would never tire of it. He enjoys the feeling of making particularly great finds, such as gems, fossils, artifacts, and even entire locations buried underground. Most of the other Variants don't find going underground that pleasurable, but Iron understands that many of them have a need for resources that can only be found there, and happily obliges to volunteer himself to retrieve them. Iron also feels more like himself when he's actively working, but he knows how to relax.

Iron's helpfulness extends above the surface of the land. He also enjoys building and creating, much like the rest of the Variants; while his size may play an issue in directly interacting, he likes to help them all in their projects whenever he can. He's not a complainer, so even if he may not completely enjoy what you may need him for, he'll help you out if no one else will. He does have his limits, however.

Iron, true to his roots as an Earth dragon, is steadfast in his work. If he sets out on a goal, say, to gather materials for one of the other Variants, he will likely not stop working until he is done. He's lucky physical work like that doesn't tire him. In a similar fashion, Iron also will not cease in helping his fellow Variants or even Emblem directly until their own goals are finished.

Thanks to his frequent work underground, Iron is the most powerful among the Variants in terms of brute strength, stronger than even Diamond. Even still, he must be pushed to act. When he is, he lashes out quickly, his blows strong and fierce, giving potential enemies little time to react. After that, he'll still fight mostly defensively, especially of his fellow Variants. Iron is also not one to take jokes entirely lightly. He'll let you make those jokes, but his comebacks will be equally if not more brutal, and that's if he even chooses to respond with words and not actions.

While Iron may seem largely independent in his work, he does enjoy exploring abandoned places with Coal. The two go claw in claw in their love for exploration, so much so that Iron will even do so when the abandoned locations are found above ground. The allure of discovery is far too great for him, and so he will continue to explore as long as he and Coal desire.

Among his many other influences, and while they are often minor, Iron affects Emblem's independence in completing goals, his determination to complete goals, his industrious nature, and his knowledge of many things found underground.
