==Appearance:==
Vassago has a curious build, with such an elongated body his legs look almost disproportionate, as though they would fail to carry the weight of his mass. The reason why they can is due to the fact Vassago's bones are mainly hollow, with thinner skin and smaller wings also attributing to his light mass. Trailing down his back are sharp, black spines, which look as though they were taken straight off of a NightWing, especially with his strange mess of scales which barely resemble that of a NightWing hybrid's. His RainWing attributes shine through the most, though is lacking the frill and prehensile tail at his tailtip, basically ridding him of each of these tribal advantages he supposedly should own - though this doesn't mean he didn't inherit anything from his RainWing side, as he has much longer fangs than the average dragon, with the ability to produce venom at will.
Throughout the length of his body are dark green stripes, wrapping around his neck to his tail tip. This unique pattern catches glances, causes curious eyes to follow him whilst he walks. Additionally, his strange green hue can be guided back to his RainWing DNA, as RainWings are naturally green if they cannot shift their scale colour - this never bothered Vassago, as he feels more connected with his ancestors this way. He had gold-yellow splotches under his chin and on his chest, which surprisingly shine slightly under direct sunlight. It is unknown what caused this, perhaps a genetic mutation due to his hybrid DNA.
Vassago's face resembles that of a python's, being rounded and long with soft features. His horns are long and curve upward, with small nicks and dents in them from his clumsy nature. His ears are also longer, seemingly unusual in shape with them pointing outward slightly. Vassago has multiple piercings around the length of his ear, always changing with new ones arriving and old ones being taken out - every time you see him, there'll be something new in his ears. Behind his ears are five odd stumps resembling an underdeveloped RainWing frill, which never came to sprout once he hatched (with a normal RainWing's frill developing throughout their first week outside their egg). It never bothered him, as it's unnoticeable to the naked eye unless you begin searching for it (for whatever reason that may be...).
==Personality:==
There's a wall in his heart that is yet to be broken down. He is extremely shut off emotionally, often avoiding any conflicts which could bring out any true emotion from within him. Vassago projects this reserved persona through his hard stare, which rarely shifts to any other emotion. Although he may seem emotionless entirely, he has a passion for talking about his interests with anyone who is willing to listen, able to delve into each corner of whatever he is talking about with little-to-no thought. The largest reason as to why Vassago is so cold is that he has a degree of social anxiety when having to converse with strangers or large groups of people. He prefers to stay distant from situations which may lead to him having to interact with someone unwillingly.
Vassago also struggles with levels of self-image issues, refusing to let himself be seen since he believes everyone will think negatively of him. This, even if it's proven to be untrue, still sits in his head, constantly eating at him as soon as he gets a pair of unwanted eyes on the back of his neck. He also struggles with expressing his needs verbally, becoming quickly frustrated if something rubs him the wrong way at the wrong time.
Frustration comes quick with Vassago's short temper. He will find himself becoming aggressive once there is too much going on, whether it's a large and noisy crowd, or someone not understanding what he's attempting to put across, he tends to fall into a spiral of anger which takes hours for him to cool down from. This can make or break friendships, quickly making him distant to ensure he doesn't lash out unnecessarily at someone he holds close. It's always a losing battle in his eyes. 
Despite all this, once someone is able to come a little closer to him, he begins to show some more colour. Vassago, deep down, is quite childish -- enjoying the sensation of seeing others be happy to be in his presence. He still struggles with showing his true emotions physically, and often feels the need to reassure someone verbally of what he is currently thinking/feeling due to his furrowed stare he wears on his face daily.
In nature, Vassago is caring and dear to those around him. He is quick to ensure someone is okay if they are having problems, neglecting his own needs momentarily to help out others. He also has found a fascination in buying his friends small gifts as a token of his appreciation.
==History:==
Born in the RainWing forest, Vassago was sheltered heavily by his parents, who spent all their spare time taking care of him and trying to ensure he grew up well. Vassago was quick to learn how to help himself, abandoning the need for his parents to shelter him -- yet they insisted to keep him safe until he was ready to step talon into the real world as a young dragonet.
In his early childhood, Vassago had to grow up being out-casted from others. His strange, stray personality alongside his unusual interest rendered other dragonets uninterested in him. It took Vassago a long time to understand why others didn't enjoy his company, and soon came to terms with it by finding something to occupy himself with until he grew old enough to attend school.
Vassago, with his lack of sociability, became absorbed in his school's library. He absorbed information from each book he found, annotating whichever one he could get his talons on. Teachers within the school picked up on his interest with literature, allowing him to spend time in the library even in after-school hours as they acknowledged the fact it was a safe-space for him. His classes were like a breeze for him, with his advanced knowledge in most subjects giving him an advantage.
==Abilities:==
Vassago has developed a strong ability of reading emotions in others and being able to tell the way a situation may be turning. He acts as an observer in social settings, this becoming very apparent during his years in study.
Additionally, he is strong in writing and speaking publicly, able to supress his worries once he is in his more comfortable zone of literature. He is quick to shape creative pieces of writing, finding joy in spilling his mind of the paper. He is also an artist, taking a liking to the calming nature of seeing a painting come together.
Physically, Vassago is not built for combat. He is more arial combat-wise, able to use his thin and light-weight body as a way to move around his opponent. He isn't the fighting type characteristically, acknowledging that he wouldn't want to pick fights knowing that they could steer away from his favour. Although, he took a liking to collecting weaponry - specifically knives - and in the midst began to develop the ability of using these however he pleases. His collection grows with every "You collect knives? Weird...".
Tribal abilities:
*Vassago possesses the use of RainWing venom to his leisure.
*Despite his lack of other tribal abilities, Vassago has the ability of foresight -- albeit, weaker than usual. He can predict casualties, phrases someone may say, or anything which is in the span of roughly 6~ hours into the future. Similar to the déjà-vu phenomenon. 
==Trivia:==
*Vassago should be red/purple as those are my favorite colours but green will do.
*Name origin is here
==Non-canon:==
*Died after walking too close to the eldrich horror page in search of "why an art post was in the general category" according to his last words retold by Wheatley here
