Powers: Tiamat used to have the powers of the light but now has the powers of Darkness, able to absorb light and certain emotions within her range.(Although this is not passive)

[read history for more information for her previous life]
Age: 233 years [11 years old in Human life span]
Birth date: 31 Abrecu Nuladæg Aertons 1554 [Old English]
[31 October, Sunday, Winter, 1554]
Appearance: Tiamat has three distinct horns protruding along her eyes and a furry frill mane. Her scales are beautiful plumage of black, purple and navy blue scales that gleam in the moonlight and serrated horns spiking out of her back, from her head all the way to the tail. Her wings, although they appear small when folded, is twice the size of its body and they are excellent to fly with as they are light and durable.
Human Form: Tiamat has the power to create a false image of illusion apon herself to look like a human but her skin are like scales are her hair a mane. Temporarily she will have to walk like a human and speak like one for the illusion to be believable. Tiamat's human form is a pretty girl with hair reaching up to her shoulders. Her transformation isn't complete though as she has tiny miniature dragon tail sprouting in her back. As hard as she tries she cannot get rid of them as it symbolizes that she is a dragon. Dressed in simple clothing she walks around rather awkwardly, not having much experience on walking with two legs. She does keep practice though.
Home: Tiamat usually resides within caves. Although she spends most of her time outside and the only reason she would live in a cave is to hide.
Current Status: Single, not looking for a mate.
[irrelevant]
(Totally Random, I know.. But hey, humour keeps you interested, right? ^^)
Personality: Tiamat has a rather perplexed personality when it comes to the moons of Valear (Our Earth, right?). She sits high in the peaks of mountains and , gazes out towards the moons, having a mixed feeling about them that keeps her sense of interest. Whenever the moonlight wanes, she always feels happy and calm but if the New Moon awakens, anger and perturbed feelings start to control her. This is probably due to the reason of competing with the moon, detesting the light, her feelings changing when the moon takes its shape.
Tiamat in general, has a cautious personality when it comes to humans and dragons. Apon meeting one, if ever, she acts rather defensive, giving off warning growls and grunts, to signify her dominance and if she finds herself in a situation she cannot avoid by flying or scaring away the offender off, she will resort to using her natural powers of the Dark to pry them off her tail. Tiamat isn't always this aggressive and she can sometimes be friend as well, helping someone in danger if the need is greater than her own will. Although Tiamat does allow the company of others if she feels like it or when the moon isn't out.
Tiamat is also intelligent in escape tactics but sometimes her susceptance baffles her mind and is unable to think properly.
Parental Status: Parents are alive.
Father: Dark Dragon, Unknown
Mother: Dark Dragon, Unknown
Sisters: Unknown
Brothers: Unknown
[Unknown: No information]
History:
Tiamat was once the Dragon of Light, possessing shiny yellowish white scales that glistened and an aura that shone like the sun.
In late Abrecu[October], 1554, An egg was laid deep at the base of a mountain just South of Ularian Ridge[/url]. The parents had fled, leaving it to defend for itself and the egg was left alone but hatched miraculously the following day. From the debris of broken grey shells stood a baby hatchling with brilliant cream coloured scales and sharp yellow eyes that had a calm expression on it. From then on she relied heavily apon her natural instincts to survive the harsh realities of life Valear.
After a few decades, the dragon [Now known as Tiamat] had began to mature, wings expanding, claws developing - every feature beginning to take its new shape. Tiamat took to the skies as her wings began to form beautifully and immediately learned the simple basics of aerobatics.
During one of her practice flights she had spotted another dragon, a Dragon of Wealth, stumbling across the fields beside the lake carrying a leather bag held by his teeth. Tiamat had flown down and approached the suspicious dragon, asking for his purpose. The dragon of wealth replied that he needed a place to guard his treasure and he was looking for a suitable cave. Apon hearing this Tiamat suggested her birthplace, the cave where she was first introduced to life. The dragon of wealth hesitantly agreed and soon after the cave was filled with mountains of gold and piles of precious jewelry. Who knew that a small bag had tons of treasure?
A century passed and the two dragons had become the best of friends. The dragon of Wealth, Celebrus[pronounced: Sell-EE-brus] is his name, was a wise dragon that influenced most of Tiamat's perspectives in life and taught her how to speak more of the dragonic languages, little about the common tongue[English] and the dangers outside of Ularian Ridge. He was almost like a brother to her and in return for his companionship she helped guard the treasure. However the good times didn't last long.
During a lazy evening Tiamat went out to hunt for food but unbeknownst to her as she hunted, a group of competitive dragons of wealth had planned an ambush of Celebrus's treasury. They attacked and raided the cave, a fight sparked immediately between Celebrus and the other dragons. Celebrus held a good fight but was soon defeated by a few quick slashes of claws and fell to the floor, a pool of blood spreading beneath him. The dragons pillaged the cave and anything they could find and fled.
As Tiamat returned to the cave, the first thing she saw was the blood splattered against the rocky walls and strokes of crimson on the ground. She ventured deeper and she remained motionless as she stared at what was in front of her, unable to process what she saw. Forcing herself to move she peered down beside a dragon with many deep wounds on his legs and body. Tiamat didn't know how she felt but she moaned over his dead lifeless body and she let out a thunderous roar that shook the cave. After she had cooled down, she sat next to his body and nuzzled his head, knowing quite well that nothing could bring him back but she did so, to spend the last moments with Celebrus.
While she caressed his head she noticed a glint of silver in his mouth. Intrigued she took the item out with her mouth and laid it on the floor. It was a shining dragon talisman that released an immense power that only dragons could feel. She stared at it and wept, her tears flowing from her eyes as she stared at Celebrus's most treasured possession. The droplets of tears splashed on the talisman and it emitted a faint glow. The talisman will be forever marked by Tiamat, the Dragon of Light.
A blueish black flame of anguish surrounded Tiamat and with the sound of rattling coins, her scales changed into the colours of the Darkness and her eyes into frightening red orbs. She looked at her paws and realised what she was, a Dragon of Darkness. She stared down at the talisman and her eyes slowly dimmed to her usual colour of calm yellow. The talisman was the only thing that kept her sanity, picked it up by the tail, using her newly acquired powers absorbed all light within the cave and everything was shrouded in dense darkness...
After a few years, Tiamat had already left the cave and blocked the entrance with an avalanche of rocks. She flew high in the skies and went to explore where she may find a new purpose in life and to avenge her dear friend, Celebrus.
[The talisman did nothing whatsoever in the transformation of Tiamat, you could say it was the reaction that was the final stage of maturity for Darkness Dragon. If Tiamat was a true Light dragon she would not have changed.]
*Notes: Tiamat wears the dragon talisman around her neck bonded by chains. This is what keeps Tiamat from becoming berserk.*
Interesting Info
Darkness Dragons are a separate branch of Light dragons. Darkness Dragons were once light dragons. There came a time when a group of mortals and wizards ventured south. The dragons of light befriended them and told them of a land even further south that they enjoyed playing on. The humans wished to see this land and the dragons agreed to take them there. But when they reached the land, the mortals instantly claimed it for themselves, forgetting the dragons all together and the least of all things not even thanking them for sharing this new land. The dragons were enraged and their betrayal consumed them to the point where they were no longer light dragons and thus formed the Darkness Dragons.][/color]
Have fun roleplaying.
