Full Name:<br/>Artimer<br/>Race:<br/>Dragon Shifter<br/>Gender:<br/>Male<br/>Age:<br/>350<br/>Occupation/Status:<br/>Rogue<br/>Rank in army: Major of the 2nd Battalion for Infiltration<br/>Skills/Abilities:<br/>Like many dragons Artimer is able to breathe fire, however unlike most dragons he can shot it out of his mouth in a single fire ball. He is also able to "breathe" water. He does need to prepare to breath water. To breath water he needs to spend five posts under water, preferably fully submerged. While he is in the water, his lunges will change to breath it, once this occurs, a gland being the one for the gas will fill with water. He is only ever able to breathe one at a time, but once he has run out of water he is unable to breath it till he has prepared it once again. He is an illusionist. He is able to cause people to see things that may not be there. He is able to do illusion while in his dragon and humanoid form, with this he is also able to make his features appear more or less like his "human" form. When wielding his twin blades together they give him the ability to command and control water, he is only able to do that when he is fighting with the blades. In human form he is extremely skilled at sleight of hand.<br/>Weapons/Items:<br/>When in dragon form he is uses his tail, and claws. While in his human form he carries a large claymore on his back with two curved knives at his side. The claymore is made of glass, despite it being made of glass it is extremely hard to break it, and when it cuts in there are the smallest of pieces of diamonds on the edges making the cut cleaner. The knives at his sides are named; the right is Amadahy, and the left is Aquarius; twin blades with shells embedded into the handle of Aquarius and river pebbles in Amadahy. He is more likely to pull out his twin blades in battle, both have sentience, as they were made by a strong elf who "captured" a part of the spirit of the ocean and river and placed them into the blades.<br/><br/><br/>Appearance<br/>Physical Appearance:<br/>While in his dragon form, he is smaller than most dragons his age. At the shoulder stand about eight at his shoulder, and to the top of his head he stands just over twelve feet tall. His scales are on the smaller side however they are just as firm as larger scales. He has just finished growing into the harder scales. His scales are for the most part, a light rose color, they range anywhere from very light pink to a deep scarlet. From the top of his nose he has a large upward curving horn, it is followed by three other horns leading up to his forehead each one smaller then the last. His eyes are a deep violet. He has frills starting from his forehead down his neck to just above his shoulders, then starting back up a little ways behind his shoulder blade. He also has frills on the sides of his head with a small horn in front. He walks on four legs although he does have the capability to grasp things in his front hands. On the back end of his front legs he has frills starting just under the shoulder and ending at the wrist. His frills are there for more than just appearance, they are a form of communication while under water. So they usually reflect what he is feeling or about to do. when out of water he is able to control the color, and he goes between blue, green and black. However if he has a strong, or extreme emotion his frills will flash to the color of the emotion till he gets himself back under control. He is able to shift into many different sizes and forms of dragons, however his coloring stays the same, and he still has frills that change colors.<br/>His humanoid is closer to that of an elf, standing just under seven feet tall, with a lanky build. He does have longer ears and at a glance most would believe he was an elf, however at a closer look at his skin you would notice that he has patches of scales scattered throughout his body. He has long midnight blue hair that is almost to the ground, with vibrant emerald eyes, and from the corner of his right eye to his chin is a thin strip of scales, it almost looks like a scar. He has pale skin and the scales are very light with no definite color.<br/>Clothing and Armor:<br/>While in his human form he will wear anything from loose pants, tall boots, a white loose shirt, with a baggy, brown over coat, a blue bandana on his head with it tied with a knot at the back of his head. He may also wear light leathers made of the colors of the forest to blend in with any elf clan. He has a large wardrobe for the different occasions and needs.<br/><br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Likes: all large bodies of water, warm caves, coal or anything warm to hot to the touch. He enjoys company, and being the center of attention. SHINIES!!! pebbles, sea shells, stories involving him as the hero whether or not he was.<br/>Dislikes:<br/>Daisies, sand paper, Killer whales and sharks (they steal his food), the name Romeo, hard labor.<br/>Fears:<br/>getting caught, wither it's from stealing, or...from other stuff.<br/>Bad Habits:<br/>pick pocketing, he makes a point of hitting on everyone.<br/>Sexual Orientation:<br/>Bisexual<br/>General Personality:<br/>Artimer is very sociable, he likes to meet people and when it is convenient be the center of attention. Artimer is a little flamboyant. If put on the spot he will stumble over his words as he tries to find an excuse, reason, etc, for what he has or hasn't done. He doesn't have a preference for which form he is in. He is very stubborn and procrastinates.<br/><br/><br/>Character's Background<br/><br/>History:<br/>Artimer is the product of a desert dragon and a water dragon mating, because of this he is a smaller dragon. Artimer's mother was a water dragon, she was able to leave the ocean on a regular basis, what she was not able to do was leave the water while laying her eggs. Worrying she swam through the water looking for a place she could place the eggs and still be able to care for them. That was when she found a cave entrance that lead to a warm spring. she was able to make a nest in the hot water for the eggs. Out of the 128 eggs laid only two hatched, one male one female. Very rarely will the dragons of mixed breeding live past their first 50 years, but Artimer was stubborn. The female died shortly before turning 30. Artimer decided that he wasn't going to let a number or breeding end his life short. He did everything he could to make sure he had access to both a large body of water and a place that was dry and very warm. He was able to find a desert that went right up against the ocean, right at the edge of the desert there is a rock face with natural caves curved into the stone. There he has a larger variety of food to choose from, either the fish in the sea, or a herd animal in the desert. After Artimer found his new home he was getting close to his 100's and he felt full of life.<br/>During this time the war started and he was recruited as a rogue for the dragon shifter clan he became a part of.  There he was taught how to fight in all forms even his humanoid form. He became an expert at dual wielding and loved the great swords. The clan had captured several elves and had used them as slaves for the making of weapons, armor, etc.  He was given a gift of the twin blades and the claymore by the clan, before they sent him on his way to do what he could to weaken the enemy. Everyone in the rank each had a separate mission, as they were all the best spies, thieves, archers and scouts. Twenty strong.
