"Dear Diary;
After all the mystical creatures i have seen by far this is one of the most unique ones i have seen, a dragon but not like a dragon you imagine to see, these dragons have quite stocky Feature, deadly claws, a log spike that goes from the head to the back, they have some horns. Also a long thick tail, but after seeing many of these creatures i have noticed one, one with a sad like face and covered in armor; i dont know why but i keep coming back to this one."

UserName;
My username is PaintedPawz.

Name;
I noticed alot of people were naming the little guy 'night' something but as soon as i saw him the name 'Night Raider' popped into my head so i and going to name him night raider with the nickname of 'raider'.

Gender;
Raider is a male Whiptail dragon.

Personality;
Little bits of personality are under subtitles below. c:

Armor;
Raider sat down around the warm of the fire with his friends, he wrapped his tail around his body for extra warmth. one of his friends, lilly; who was a small blue bird, landed carefully on the moon pendent that hung on his armor, it swayed calmly in the wind. His friends told stories about there past and how they got here, after a bit it all went silent until one of his friends looked at him and asked "Raider, how did you get your armor?" she asked. A wave of sorrow washed over him that moment, he looked to the ground and lilly; the bird hopped off his tail and looked up at him and nodded. raider looked up and said, "i used to live in a tribe far away, really far from here, there were certain traditions that a were placed there..... It started when i was young, well when, in the clan i lived in, when you reached a certain age you earned your armor, it's not a very old age but it was the right one if you get what i mean. That day, the day i was suppose to get my armor was the worst day of all. I woke up in the morning as ready as ever, i padded over to my mother, she gave me a encouraging smile and pushed me into the line of Whiptails, theres was five of us and i was at the back. Eventually they got to me, it felt soo amazing to be there everyone cheering me on as a choose my armor and put it one, i could see my mum and dad at the back of the clan smiling at me until it happened. a giant ball of fire raged though the sky and landed in our camp, the fire spread, burning trees down, destroying them. I raced into my den and grabbed my mums crescent moon necklace and raced out of the den; then i saw it, bodys of whiptails i recognized all of them. lying helplessly on the floor, i searched for my mum and dad but i couldn't find them among the bodies. A waved of relief washed over me and i had a small bit of hope. Another fire ball landed far behind me, it was then i sprinted into a run with the necklace hanging out out my mouth, tears streaming down my face as i ran from my dead clan mates.

A few days later raider came back to the camp, a wind swirled around him, it felt cold, the oak trees where black from were the fire rose. the ground was black with bodies lying on the floor; raider sighed, he spend days digging holes in the ground so his mates could rest in piece, grabbing them , taking the armor of them and putting them in the holes then digging over them. With everybody he lay there amour next to then to remember then by. Suddenly a bird tweeted and flew towards him, it flew extremely fast and hovered above the ground. it perched on the top of the pendent that was hanging in raiders mouth and raider knew this was from his parents, he now knew that they were alive and he wouldn't stop until he found them but he also wanted revenge. Revenge on the creature that killed his clan, his friends. I so we headed north, to find his family; we found a town and deiced to stay there a while. The little blue bird finished off his story, he swung on the pendent.

Story 2; This is just a side story. c:
"The After- S T O R M."
snow stole the ground covering it in it's white sheet, a strong wind almost knocked raider off of his four paws but he dug his claws firmly into the cold ground; the ground was freezing to touch but the wind wasn't for long and he raced though the snow to the nearest cave, lilly, his bird hovering above the ground under the shelter of his fluffy belly. Raider was not very and at this age and had not been taught any survival skill, how to hunt for food, defend territory, to fight but he new how to forage for food. The harsh winter had come quickly, quicker than expected which shocked raider so much that thinking ahead and gathering food before the winter had been washed away. But lucky a few days before he had found a giant berry tree and collected the berries off of it, they remains would last him three days at most and the winter had only just began. The wind picked up and raged, forcing some snow to fall off the top of the cave. Raiders armor was getting uncomfortable so he took some of it off, he hadn't taken it off since the day he was given it. the day his clan died. a few weeks had passed until he was a he is now. Lilly broke his trail of though as she snuggled up to his long, warm fur. His breathing quietly slowed down as he feel into a deep sleep.

A sudden howl woke him up, he jumped up to his feet and almost in a instant he had his amour and raced outside, the blizzard had stopped but a loud rumbling noise has echoing from the top of some very high cliffs then he could see it. "Avalanche!" He shouted to lilly, she shook her feathers and followed him, he raced across the side of the cliff, heart racing, it's pulse vibrating in his ears, he ran faster knowing that the falling snow was getting closer and closer. A jolt of coldness shot thorough him as a white blur raced past him. Darkness enveloped him... He woke up, heart still panting from the experience, but he felt like he was falling, he woke up properly and looked around then he realized, the snow was still pulsing off the side of the cliff, a branch stuck out off the side. Not daring to look down, he was on the cliff; well he was stuck on the branch that hung over the dreaded drop. Blood gushed out of his left cheek which dripped down his face, the taste was sour as some of it poured in his mouth, he coughed frantically trying not to swallow his own blood. Crack. the branched cracked slightly, every time he moved the crack got bigger and bigger. Lilly flew towards him, as soon as she saw the blood here eyes widened in terror. "There's a big drop below but it lands in a lake, a deep one in fact you might make it but it depends if you can survival the fall then swim to the side, the water will be cold but not yet frozen, if your in there too long you will most likely die..." The small bird always had so much power in what she said but now it was powerless; there was nothing she could do. A idea suddenly occurred to him, his armor would give him a more... protected fall, he instructed the small bird to un-done his armor, slowly the amour slid off the side of his back with his paw he grabbed it before it fell. Crack. the branch cracked again. he carefully threw the armor in the air and jumped as far as he could to the left. CRACK! He landed squarely on top of the armor, his blood raced to his ear and the tip of his tail the sky turned into a giant blur, but he saw them, his parents stood in front of him, their silver out line glimmered in the sun light, there mouths moved but he heard nothing. The sound of snow falling and the sound of water gushing of a waterfall nearby was soothing, darkness came closer to him, so closer that he could grab it. a sudden hit to the ground made him panic moment after he hit the water he began to submerge. Frantically he swiped his paws at the surface, bringing the water down but the armor he had used to protect his fall hung on his foot so as he push the water down to go up the armor got pushed down. he grabbed the armor in hi mouth and with now the help of his back legs he thrusted himself to the surface, his paws where in perfect sync, he saw them again standing on the edge of the water, whispering in his ear "Come on~". he felt a sudden urge of energy and raced to the waters edge, he climbed to the suraface and blacked out.

[Drakongeist]

Well, the main Idea was that he is just about always wearing his armour.I wont be doing a design myself, but if you want to draw him without it as part of your form than go ahead.^^

{ name. karus.

{ his story. the wind whistled an eerie sound as it passed through the long moonlit grass. the trees across the valley looked to be dancing with demons. though the night seemed to be comming to life young dattzet was unfased. he watched as the little firefiles flew into the night sky. climbing out of his make shift den in the grass, karus set out further north. despretly trying to get away from the life he had left beind him. karus knew he had gone far north, for the nights grew colder and it was harder to warm himself in the daylight. he couldn't stop now though, he wasn't far enough. almost reaching the trees now karus quicked his pace, he itched to be under their cover. for so long he had traveled on open ground. his feet bled and ached just from walking on its dry, ruff surface. once he reached the tree line he paused and looked up. it could have just been because he was tired from traveling and nightmares, but the tress did look to be alive. they moved and swayed like they were interecting with eachother, and the sounds that came from the forest almost sounded like voices. karus walked into the forest slowly, something about it made him feel uneasy. never the less, he kept going. he didn't get far when his vision started to go blurry. he blinked his eyes, thinking that he was just tierd. when it didn't go away he started to realize it was something else. but by the time he realized it was a mist, he had already fallen against a tree and was drifting off.. to... sleep...

karus slowly blinked his eyes open. everything was still blurry, but now he could hear voices. after trying to lift his head, karus realized he couldn't move. yet his mind wasn't quite aware wether it just couldn't move of if it was being held. karus though he heard someone speaking, "he.is.waking.up.!" something about waking up, but he didn't stay concious long enough to find out...

*drip* *drip* karus moved his head slowly from side to side. that is, until something grabbed his head and made him stop moving. his eyes shot open at the touch and karus looked straight into the eyes of his keeper. he couldn't quite make anything out yet, but he noticed a wet feeling in his mouth. whatever was keeping him must have finally given him some water. karus swallowed and sighed as his throat no longer hurt and the feeling of dryness was gone too. karus contiuned to blink until he could see fully, and to his amasment, he was no longer in the forest. looking around for his keeper he realised they were gone, there was not even a trace of them. the ground around him only showed his movements from in his slumber. karus continued to look around when a voice startled him. "you ventured into our forest without permission. yet you seemed harmless enough so we let you live, but now you must prove yourself worthy. you have three days and three night to prepare for your trails. you will be tested on three things, your will, your strength, and your heart. shall you pass the trials you will be free to do what you will, but shall you fail. you will be held here for all eternity as a slave." and with that the voice was gone. karus looked to the cave enterance and realised it was blocked off, and somehow he knew that he would not be able to move it. even if he tried...

so far one day had already past and karus had only thought about his trials. he had almost lost his mind in the time of one day, but which seemed like a life time. still feeling weak from his travells karus walked over to the food supplie that had appeared when he had woken from his sleep that morning. he ate only enough to stop his hunger, he didn't know if the food would come again. standing again, karus began to pace. growing angry karus slashed his claws against the wall of the cave. he watched as a spark flew off the wall and landed on his nose before going out. the spark had caused his brain to start spinning. karus turned on his heels and raced to gather anything he could find, building a masive pile. he hauled over the giant peices of metal that had been left in the cave with him, karus' face was full of determination now. dropping the metal karus turned to face the cave wall. sitting arched back on his hind feet he drew up his claws and streched towards the wall. bringing down his claw he raked across the wall towards the pile. trails of thousands of sparks fallowing his claws, towards the pile... proving hiw will when there is lack of hope...

karus lay in wait, he knew the voice would come again soon. he flexed his muscles just to feel the metal against his scales. a smirk lay across his face as the voice finally came. for three days and three nights we have watched you. you have impressed us, but now your time is up, let the trials begin!... karus stood and opened his eyes, he winced as light shone into them. blinking until his eyes adjusted to the light, karus looked around at the area infront of him. somehow he had been transported out of the cave, or had they moved him while he slept? he knew he would never know for sure, but he awaited for his first trial. a growl that came from behind him sent a shudder through karus' spine. the sound was not mortal, nor was it pleasent. karus was hessitant to look at his opponent, but slowly, he turned. the sight infront of him shocked karus so badly that his knees gave out. his eyes went straight to the ground as his head fell and dropped. how could they do this, how could this be a test! he thought to himself. breathing deeply until he got his anger under control, karus looked up again to face the sight. infront of him lay his past, yet there was something that had not been there before. a shadow figure that was nothing like he had ever seen before, and whatever it was, was looking right through him and into his soul. the beast roared and reared, then ran straight for karus. karus ran straight towards it and jumped towards it. karus tried and tried to attack the beast, but it seemed to be unfased. when karus had almost given up hope he latched on to the back of the beast. he hung on as tight as he could while the beast tried to buck him off. yet karus held on.. proving his strength through the hard times...

karus closed his eyes and braced himself, but the impact never came. karus opened his eyes and seeing that instead of attacking him the beast seemed to be after something else. suddenly karus heard the cry and he himself cried out. he was going to have to live his past over again to get through this. the beast seemed to be looking for the owner of the cry, but karus already knew who it was from and exactly where to find them. without realising it karus was leading teh beast right to his little sister. all that was left to see was who would reach her first. as the beast raced along side him karus picked up a burst of sped. yet the beast always seemed to match him, step for step. they had almost reached her now, and the beast was pulling ahead. this only gave karus more determination and he gave it one last try. passing the beast he skidded beside his little sister and wrapped his tail around her as he turned to face the beast.. proving his heart is pure... yet when he looked up, it was no longer there...

karus blinked, then realized that the whole area had dissapeared. or that is what he saw through the blinding white light. "where am I! what did you just do!" he growled in anger. calmly the voice came, "you have passed all your trials and greatly impressed up, you are now free to do as you wish." karus blinked angerly. yet the voice was gone and there was nothing he could do. suddenly the light grew brighter and then everythign grew black.

gasping karus opened his eyes. it took a minute for them to adjust before he realized he was still beside the tree of the forest. he was laying on a pile of moss. he couldn't believe it, that it had all been a dream. karus moved to stand up, his scales felt heavier then usual. looking along his side karus realised he was still wearing the armour he had forged in the cave, in the nights before his trial. something told karus that the armour was his gift for impressing his keepers...

from that day on, karus rarely took off his armour. it was his only proof of his story, and he was determind to tell others. his armour may be the only way that anyone would believe him.

{ art. will get some done if I win him.

{ sorry that it is soo long. Its just when i saw his armour and amazing idea just poped into my head and I started typing... }
