Main RP Character: Kanth
Kanth is a 5'6" (at the shoulder) tan and brown Western with a slight frame and large wings; in general, he's built for flying and speed rather than having a "traditional" western build for power and strength. Nose-to-tail of 20ft (of which half is tail and a further quarter head and neck) and a 25ft leather wingspan. He's a firebreather with an odd ability to travel through the earth alone or with others (if they're in physical contact with him), lending him a scent of woodsmoke mixed with fresh dirt.
Scars/oddities: a three-claw mark from the base of his neck across his right shoulder, a series of tooth marks around his neck (also more visible on his right side than his left), a deep scar near the end of his tail from repeated biting, and a leather band around his neck that ends in an oversize metal locket designed for claws.

Personality:
Playful like a dog on the surface (oddly) yet sobers up if there's a threat. Also has some emotional baggage that can be triggered (either depressing or angering him, depending on specifics)
He'll prefer to run from a fight rather than continue it as a matter of pride (mostly because he'll tend to lose against other dragons), unless he's being protective, and refuses to eat other sentients. He's quick to initially trust but has a long memory if that trust is lost. He... also is a little possessive when it comes to people he likes. Protectively possessive, not obsessively possessive , if that makes sense. He has an absolute respect for the wishes of others, at least until they start infringing upon the wishes/dignity of others.
Dislikes showing his scars, so he tends to lay/stand with them facing away from others
Much of his personality is like an icy lake; the playfulness is the ice on top, it's what people see, and it's fun to be around. Crack that ice, however, and you'll find the dark, cold waters of self-loathing and depression. Just like cracked ice, only a fair amount of time (potentially helped by a *really* patient friend) will heal that wound.


History:
He originally grew up in a cave in the mountains, without siblings. Eventually, after striking out on his own, he met and fell in love with a violet western by the name of Valauthiel, whom he nicknamed Amy or Amethyst. One of his preferred things to do was find subterranean wonders without any natural entrances and show them to her using his ability to earth-travel.
Eventually, while he was away, a larger dragon took their cave and killed Valauthiel because she didn't have any way to get into the protective cavern behind the cave wall without Kanth. When Kanth returned, he found Valauthiel chilled and covered in frostburns. He got to her side just in time to see her eyes focus on him once before her final pained breath, before even a word could be spoken between them
Since, Kanth has blamed himself for her death and lacks the heart to search out underground wonders.
He now curses his gift and his comparative weakness, and the constant moving he has to do because of it whenever a larger dragon decides to take his built home. He has a deep-seated self-loathing due to that that he usually heavily masks unless someone brings up his past.
He has since for the most part given up setting up his own lair/home and in general distrusts any generosity shown towards him (also due to having been nearly killed by that before)
