Usᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: Esko

Dʀᴀɢᴏɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: Pocky

Gᴇɴᴅᴇʀ: Male

Aɢᴇ: 399

Pᴏᴡᴇʀs: Pocky has the ability to squeeze through tight spaces with (relative) ease.



Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ:
Pocky gives the outward appearance of being a quiet, brooding individual when really he's nothing but. He's just respectful. Pocky is the kind of individual who wants to help and usually knows how, but not always. He will sometimes try to guess ahead of time what someone needs help with and end up screwing things up. His heart is usually in the right place, though. He likes a good laugh and a swell time with friends, and friends are an easy thing to make. Charismatic, he could be a leader if he had any interest in that kind of position. Unfortunately, he isn't really that motivated. He could be convinced, but for now he's not interested in any sort of responsibility.

Tʜᴇ Gɪᴀɴᴛ Vᴀʟʟᴇʏ/Wɪᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴅ Wᴏᴏᴅ: Giant Valley

Usᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: Esko

Dʀᴀɢᴏɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: Hex

Gᴇɴᴅᴇʀ: Male

Aɢᴇ: 270 (teenager-ish?)

Pᴏᴡᴇʀs: Hex is blessed with the edgy power of hiding in and jumping through shadows.



Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ:
Hex has a serious problem with authority. He's the kind of kid who really doesn't care if he gets in trouble; he even gets a sort of thrill from it all. Most younglings his age tend to admire him for the sheer carelessness he holds. He feels no boundaries, going wherever he wants whenever he wants. He's kind of a bully, him and his band of friends often ganging up on weaker and smaller dragonets. It's painfully obvious when he likes someone, as he usually shows respect towards that individual, saying many things about his behavioral issues. He does still have time to grow and mature, but for now, he's content with stirring trouble.

Zelenia continued to look around the shop for a little while longer, just so Buttons would have a bit more time to enjoy his meal. After a bit of time passed, she had picked up an item that would great for displaying something. She made her way to the counter and smiled warmly at Buttons as he came into her full view. ”Hello again.” she spoke warmly. ”I’m hoping to sell or trade a few items today.”

Snowcone I ♀ I Giant Valley >> Marketplace I Open

Snowcone growled lightly at the dragoness' insult, and sharply exhaled ice cold breath at her foe. She was always sensitive to insults about her cowardly and submissive nature for her abnormal size, as it was often thrown her way her whole life. She regretted scowling at her, as a sharp set of claws swiped twice across her face hard. She whined and backed off as she touched the red marks that now adorned it. She flinched even more as the dragoness reared up and prepared another assault.
"Alright, alright! Take it! There's a box out there!" Her bright blue and white feathers stuck up on end, and watched sadly as the black dragon snatched the big elk thigh right out of her talons, and jumped inside her shadow to slip through the window. She walked over to the window, and saw her pick the lock in the box easily with her claws and throw the thigh in there. She then carried the box back to the deep part of the woods not too far away. Snowcone couldn't believe it. She let herself get walked all over by a stranger. She gazed over at her coin pouch, and was relieved to see it still there. She grabbed it and slung it over her shoulder and flew shakily to the marketplace.

Buttons I ♂ I Giant Valley >> Marketplace I Zelenia

Buttons picked at the meat happily while gazing at his customer inside. She walked up to him and smiled at him and he returned with one. "Alright then! Buy or sell?" he asked politely.

Zira I ♀ I Withered Wood I Open

Zira was outraged as the coward actually fought back with a painfully cold blast of ice. She reeled back and rubbed her snout as it stung. She observed it closer and found the scales on her snout peeling off. Did she breathe frostbite or something? She violently shook her head to distract herself from the pain, and hissed at her before hardly swiping deep cuts in the coward's face. She prepared to lunge at her foe before hearing her whine in submission. She let out a hearty laugh before berating her again. "Thank you for your generous offer! I'm surprised a dragon bigger than I would give in so easily!" Zira took the thigh and jumped in the white dragon's shadow to crawl through the window. She went outside and picked the lock on the box with ease. She carried it back to Withered Wood, flying high above in the vain hope of masking the pungent smell of cooked elk.

[Esko]

(Oh, could I make a change and have Hex be the son of a high-ranked, landowning dragon in Withered Wood? I feel like it'd explain some of his behaviors.)

Pocky
Giant Valley (Marketplace)
Tag(s); Snowcone

It'd been quite a lucky find, or at least he'd hoped it was. Pocky strolled down a dirt path towards the Market, where he'd hoped to sell his latest grab. It was a pretty rock, maybe even a gemstone that had yet to be tumbled and formed into jewelry or something. Whatever it was, he hoped he could get at least a few coins for it. He was running tight at the moment, and maybe he could gain a little surplus from the rock. Maybe he could afford a little bit of a luxury, even. A cake, a nice breakfast, maybe even a night of fun that he hadn't had in a while. Okay, he was starting to get his hopes up. Who knew what the rock was worth, no matter how pretty?

Distracted by his thoughts, Pocky accidentally walked right into a pile of firewood. A few chuckles hissed by, and he rubbed his snout in embarrassment. Oh, he'd constantly be reminded of his obliviousness by his parents, and he recalled it as his cheeks burned. But that meant he was close to the Marketplace. The sounds of bartering, little dragonets playing and smells of food wafted by as Pocky drew closer. Normally he'd be approaching the small town with a cart full of goods, ready to set up shop and try to sell something. Usually, he did pretty well, but he'd been attacked. Pocky shuddered at the memory. A few dark-colored dragons had ambushed him, and while the cart was okay -there were some damages that had to be repaired- they'd made away with a good chunk of his items. Fine-quality metals, they'd been. He had to stash the cart away in a deep thicket of the forest in order to make it into town to sell the rock and find a repair-dragon.

Just then, someone landed down, close to him. A dragon who seemed to be at least half feather, he wouldn't have been concerned if not for the bleeding gashes on her face. How did nobody else stop, or even seem to care? Those looked serious! Pocky made his way towards the female, clearly concerned. "Miss, are you alright? Those lashes look horrible!"

[sugarbird]

(You mean Zira? She's the queen and the main antagonist. Sure!)

Snowcone I ♀ I Giant Valley >> Marketplace I Pocky

Snowcone landed near a meat shop to buy some elk that she had lost, and prepared her bag. She was interrupted by a green dragon, slightly smaller than her but made up for it in bulk. She watched as he walked up closer to her. The scratches? She must've been too shaken up to take care of them. She touched her face once more and blushed a little when she saw her talon quickly turn deep red. They stung sure, but she never realized how bad they were. Thank goodness she was caught. Otherwise, she would've gotten more weird glances. "Oh-- um, yes. Sorry. I was just.." she looked back awkwardly, before feeling more warm liquid run down her chin and fall to the ground. She turned around and spread her giant wings to fly back home to take care of it, but turned around briefly. "It was.. an accident. I don't know how I forgot." she said to him, feeling the pang of hunger in her stomach.

(Oh, sounds cool!)

Pocky
Giant Valley (Marketplace)
Tag(s); Snowcone

"An...accident?" Pocky raised an eyeridge. If he wasn't blind, those were three cuts on her face, cuts that looked awfully like rakings from dragon talons. "What are you apologizing for? C'mon, we need to get you help and fast. Oh jeez, those cuts look worse than I thought." He realized the wounds were still actively bleeding, and he checked his coin pouch. Maybe fixing the cart would have to wait, because she needed attention. And healers were expensive. "Follow me." He began to make his way towards the nearest healer's shack that he knew of...or whichever one he saw first.

Hex
Withered Wood
Tag(s); Open

It was amazing, the things dragons dropped in the forest, or the things most petty, low-rank thieves overlooked. One could find the most outrageous, expensive trinkets. Not that he needed the money, being the prince of the Withered Wood. He could just use the treasury's money and buy whatever he wanted. Not like he cared if he was stealing money for bad things. However, some items were good for quick bartering, if one wanted to get something extra special. So, he tended to snoop around the woods, woods that residents of The Giant Valley tended to traverse.

He wasn't expecting his next find. He had caught the scent of something good and poked his nose in a giant pile of leaves. Removing some of the said leaves revealed something that actually made his jaw drop. It was a merchant's cart, the kind one would drag around in order to sell junk for money. But the cart wasn't full of junk. It was full of the finest metal trinkets one could buy, suggesting a wealthy merchant. The only way they couldn't be rich was if this was a recent steal, if the merchant did something shady to get by. And it was all left here for the taking! Hex smiled.

It was just left there, and he was the first to find it.

Without realizing it the blue dragon had walked and talked to the statue for so long he ended up wandering into the woods. Once he finally realized where he was he paniced and looked around for someone or something that could help him. He knew that he was on a pretty well known merchant route, but had no clue what part of it he was on. What if a withered wood dragon finds me out here?, he thought as a shiver ran down his spine. Just as his thoughts were beginning to settle in his mind he saw a black dragon that resembled a galaxy investigating a cart of some kind. Without thinking he dived into bush hoping he hadn't made much noise. Grabbing the gold bag from the statue and un-animating it, he made sure both of his items were securely in the bush. He observered what the other dragon was looking at as he waited for them to leave. If it didn't leave anytime soon he would have to pray that they were a dragon from The Giant Valley.

Snowcone I ♀ I Giant Valley >> Marketplace I Pocky

Snowcone was embarrassed that a dragon was dragging her weight along to interrupt his own day, but she followed him anyway. Her shoulders were hunched and she gazed around to see other dragons throwing odd glances at her. She lifted her giant wing and awkwardly covered her face. They made it to the healer, and she sat idly while checking her coin purse, ready to pay.

Zira I ♀ I Withered Wood I Open

Zira flew home with a grin. She carried the box as best as she could back, but she kept lower to the ground because of the box's weight. She was certainly going to return if Giant Valley always had such good food and a lot of it, too. She had to spread her reign further. She knew that the Giant Valley has suffered many battles against Withered Wood. She knew that her place of power was hereditary, and her mother and father waged many wars against them, but always lost. She would change that. A new, horrible war would come from her. And she will win. She came up with a plan that was nasty, unfair, and something that not even her parents did. Either they weren't as nasty as her, or they just didn't realize it. Her residents were scrawny, skinny, and barely alive. They needed food, and Giant Valley had plenty of it. A meeting should be set. She landed in front of her den, and let out an ear-piercing shrill cry to summon her subjects. She received several cries in return, along with the ground shaking response of heavy high rank dragons coming closer.
