Username: My name is Oddly Shaded, you're more than welcome to call me 'Oddly' or 'Shade'. I own two JBD's at current. And both of them are my children. And I feel it is time for me to welcome a new face to my gathering of dragons. Currently I own
Matriz De Azul | #201 and
O'mearo | #586.
Name: Aóratos | αόρατος
Nickname: Ratos
Name Meaning: Aóratos (αόρατος) is greek for 'invisible'. There are two reasons behind this name specifically. The first being that as an appaloosa, the horse has a history of being a rare beauty and cherished by Indians. The other is because of his personality (read below for more details here). I choose the greek language for his name because I felt that it was incredibly exotic and rarely used language which I feel as a rare little jelly bean dragon - he deserved something as majestic as himself.
Pronunciation: Ah - or - rah - toss
Gender: I have chosen for Aóratos to be a male because I feel I can get him to fit into my group of JBD's much easier with a male personality. There is more opportunity for me to develop a strong and supported personality for this specific JBD if it is certainly a Male.
Height: Hiccup wrote:JBD sizes (biggest to smallest):
adult: great dane sized-cow sized
teen: shiba inu sized- german shepherd sized
child: cat sized- bulldog sized
baby/egg: rabbit sized
Aóratos is an adult JBD, and adults usually grow to be from the size of a great dane all the way up to being the size of a cow. Ratos specifically is on the smaller side of the adult growth and is only the size of a large dog.
Sexuality: Aóratos is a hetrosexual. Though he does not 'fall In love' very easily, he is attracted to female JBD's.
Birthday: Ratos is 19 years of age. He was brought into the world on February 26th. He doesn't like to have any celebrations, and rather have his favourite treats with his two closest friends whom happen to be much older than he.
Birthstone: Being born in February, Ratos' birthstone is the beautiful
Amethyst. Amethyst is believed to be a healing stone and hold amazing properties. These include:
•Control your temper and emotions.
•To give good moral character.
•To bring love and affection.
•Brings peace and calm to your life.
•Enhance your spirit and energy to solve any difficulties and problems.
•It can save from deceit and protect people from baldness. It is believed also to improve the condition of skin of a person too.
Zodiac: Seeing as Ratos' birthday is Feb 26th, his zodiac is Pisces. Being a believer in horoscopes, he often enjoys making me read him his yearly horoscope from
astrology.com. Although lucky for me each day comes a new spoken daily horoscope (so I don't have to read him one every day!)
Spoken Languages: Ratos is quite multicultural and knows a few small sentences in a couple of languages. He has a profound knowledge of the Greek language as he uses this very often when visiting his favourite country as well as french. Ratos' native language is English.
Birth Country: Ratos was born in England before visiting France and Australia.
Home: Ratos currently calls Australia home, he has lived her for the past 10 years while visiting Greece.
Allergies: Aóratos has no known allergies, but can easily sneeze when smelling strong fragrances.
Phobias: Ratos is afraid of many vast things. He is deathly afraid of public speaking, crowds and noisy environments. Although Ratos enjoys loud music, he is comfortable with the fact he can change the volume at any point other than when out in public where the noise is not in his control.
Fears: Ratos created this fearful barrier due to a rough bringing up. Though not to what everyone believes. It is rumoured that Ratos was abused as a youngster. But in truth he was actually in a loving family environment before tragedy struck. One by one, his family disappeared. Before he was left with nothing but the kitten his parents had brought him before they passed. Aóratos does not enjoy speaking of what happened, though he may speak out in a story of their deaths and how he came to be so afraid of everything.
YFS Information: Being a special JBD for a good reason, Ratos has a syndrome called 'Young Forever Syndrome', often called 'YFS'. YFS has 3 different types, including type A, B and C. Lucky for Ratos, he is YFS type A which means he will not develop horns as an adult. Though this does make him different, it makes him unique, and much more desirable than most JBD's.
Other Design Information: Ratos is lucky enough to be based of one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures in the world, a horse. Horses have many different colours and breeds which make them a suitable base for any creatures design. Ratos' specifically is based off a
blue roan blanket appaloosa. A very gorgeous combination of markings which create a fantastic look for any creature including JBD's! But seeing as his coat is quite dark, Ratos naturally has a slight personality 'defect'. "Usually, Dark JBDs are less social and/or cheerful than regular, bright-coloured JBDs." - Hiccup
Although this may seem like a downer, it just adds so much more to his personality and makes him such a special JBD, including the fact that darker JBD's are quite rare. Which makes him incredibly special to so many people, including myself.

Theme Song: Ratos has 2 different theme songs. One song he enjoys very much and the other is one I believe suits him more than he will ever know. Ratos' favourite song currently is
Join The Club - Bring Me The Horizon. He loves listening to the lyrics of this particular song, and cannot stop humming the tune when he is on his own. The other song which is
The Last Stand - Two Steps From Hell. When you first hear this song, the violin is playing a rather fast sound and it comes of as an strong and intense song. This suits Ratos incredibly well because of his anxiety and paranoia. I relate the violin at the beginning to his heart rate beating a million beats a second and his body tensing up as he encounters others around him. The song represents his minds escape, his body's tenseness and the excruciating pain he feels when he is around others.
JBD Companions: Ratos finds comfort in the company of two specific JBD's. He is always unsure of his surroundings but with these two beautiful JBD's he finds comfort.
Matriz De Azul &
O'mearo. He also enjoys the company of O'mearo's companion
Captian - A small purple octopus.
Companion Animal: Ratos' animal companion is a
black &
grey tabby chimera coloured munchkin cat called Naki which is derived from the Greek word for munchkin - Goutsounáki. Ratos also calls her 'Munchkin' occasionally due to her breed and adorableness.
