Username: alexmonstrous
Role: Dreamspeaker
Name: Ambrose
Gender: Ambiguous Male
Age: Young for a dragon, older than one might think
Sexuality: A big question mark, vaguely pansexual
Species: Sleeping Serpent, more commonly just called a dragon.
Appearance: A long, long,
long serpent with warm brown scales, littered with swirls of whites and creams when he is in dragon form. He wears shimmering teal silks, and seems to enjoy pretty jewelry that chimes and jingles as he swims through the air. When human, he's a tall, almost gawky young adult with dark skin and soft white hair, cropped to his ears with an undercut but curled slightly. His silks are magical and transform with his size, though he has been instructed to wear usual clothes as well. This consists of light but carefully-tailored blouses, vests, and robes. He can rarely be bribed into pants for special occasions.
Personality: A flighty, yet sleepy young man with boundless curiosity. He prefers to ask questions and worry about consequences later, if at all. He seems naïve and lazy, at times, but is a remarkably good listener despite all appearances to the contrary. He doesn't quite believe in the power of prophesy or visions, preferring to root for the hero and push to go beyond one's destiny - to make choices for the sake of them. He can be disruptive though well-meaning, clueless about most human customs though ever-eager to learn more.
Backstory: He was born to an empty library, with no mother or father to reign in his impulsiveness. Nothing beyond a strange enchanted guardian, who seemed to care for him in some other's absence. As far as he knows, he's the only Dreamspeaker of his kind left. He has never met another Sleeping Serpent, though he has heard tales of his meaner, more aggressive cousins. He can't imagine the reasoning behind it, as he finds humans so very entertaining and surprising himself. Upon reaching the human equivalent of twenty, he found a way to escape the library - and nearly died immediately upon landing. He was driven into a cave and nearly killed by a band of frightened humans, but a bard with russet locks and a striking shock of red saved him with a song bartered for his life. He has been a thorn in Rowan's side since.
Other: Favorite fruit is mangoes or papaya.
Username: alexmonstrous
Role: Bard/Merchant
Name: Rowan
Gender: Nonbinary (He/they)
Age: 29
Sexuality: Pansexual
Species: Human
Appearance: A brawny, broad-chested human with warm-toned skin, grey eyes, and a smile that never fails him. They have russet-brown hair, with a shock of strawberry red. He's average height, mildly-infuriated that Ambrose is taller than him. They wear a rotating cast of unique ponchos and scarves, heavy furs, leather armor and such.
Personality: A bard who always manages to win over the crowd, they're easygoing and affable. A comedian, rarely a critic, who's only desire seems to live easy on the road. Yet, there's more than meets the eye to this loud-laughed merchant. He is curious, and shrewd, with more common sense than most - rarely making enemies, slipping along life without leaving too deep of an impact. The broad personality is more for show, for distraction, careful about who they trust with anything beyond that easy smile. A crafty, cunning bard who once took pity on a dragon and perhaps has learned to regret it - or at least, grumpily says so to any who listen. He is sarcastic, quick-witted, but always follows this with a compliment to smooth things over. He does his best to avoid trouble with people, though he can't help but find himself often dragged into trouble with magical entities who he has more curiosity than is good for.
Backstory: Rowan was once a messenger for their isolated clan, carrying drink and goods from far away to deep within a cold wasteland - but the horizon called them like a siren song. One day, the messenger left - with only the lute that he'd been given by the mother who had taught him to dream, sing, and smile. They wandered far and wide, seeking stories, songs, bread to eat and magical mysteries to unearth. Life was interesting and well-lived, until he had the misfortune to feel sorry for a dragon and then forever be saddled with the nuisance.
Other: Favorite fruit is apple.
