this was a collaboration between radar, gremalkinn, and fly.
when the surface world became too hostile for dragons, they began to descend deeper into the earth, hiding in crevices, caves, sinkholes, and twisting canyons that scared the planet. among their ranks was a pale beacon of blinding light, the absolute radiance, ruler of the butterflies and the moths, who would become the light within the dark caverns below.
the absolute radiance held her grip tightly, keeping her subjects safe through complete control and sheltering them from the outside world. they were told to never question their teachings, to follow blindly, and obey or perish out in the unforgiving wilds. soon, however, her grip slipped, and one heretic would soon spread his influence and overthrow her.
the snow cloak king
a revered figure, a god amongst mortals, constantly changing every time he perishes, rising from the ashes like a pale phoenix. he believed that the absolute radiance was limiting their potential and not allowing them to truly flourish. and in his words he spoke of a vast kingdom made by from the talons of mortals who broke free of their mental chains and dependency and grew.
his words were enlightening and soon the creatures who once looked towards the bright lantern of the absolute radiance averted their gaze to a pale lantern drifting into the unknown. and they followed. what a glorious kingdom they built, from devotion and love, the snow cloak king became the new ruler of dragons while the other was cast into darkness, to be forgotten.
but the light wouldn't be so easily extinguished, and the absolute radiance returned in the minds and dreams of the subjects that disgraced her, refusing to be a dusty memory, a bad dream. and as her blinding influence grew, it drove them mad and an infection began spreading across the flourishing kingdom. though foretold in prophecies, the king's attempts to sealing it away failed and his kingdom fell to ruin.
in the midst of making the perfect vessel to seal away the infection, reduvius was made, born from the snow cloak king and the silver root. though it too would soon be cast into shadows when it was deemed defective. it now wanders the ruins of a grand kingdom now fallen on a mission no one is quite sure of.

Appearance
 
*body is mostly black with faint hints of dark blue appearing every now and then. a bone white mask covers its face, obscuring most of its head.
*two bright yellow eyes can be seen through the mask's eye holes along with long antenna with feathery blue tassels on the ends. these antenna are always flickering around cautiously, searching for any danger lying ahead.
*ears poke out from underneath the mask and are somewhat pointy. in its left ear is a circular, blue jewel earring. the origins of this accessory are unknown, but it is the only jewelry it wears.
*dark navy blue cloak obscures most of its body, near the edge it feathers off. a snaking tail comes out from underneath and is held close to its body.
**its cloak is enchanted to turn into moth-like wings whenever it needs an extra boost. can't truly fly with them, but can glide.
*a rusty blade, worn from many battles, is strapped to its back. will sometimes clutch the strap when nervous, always prepared to draw it at a moment's notice.
*of somewhat average stature, but is a little on the smaller side.
Personality
* doesn't have much of one and is rather animalistic in nature. has never been seen speaking a word, but that doesn't stop them from communicating with others. they just use hand gestures and body language. if they even bother to try talking to others at all.
*not confrontational and only attacks those who intentionally provoke or attack them first. is very good at ignoring people and words mean very little to them.
*serious and stoic, what little personality they do show is seldom seen publicly. never shows fear, anger, sorrow, or joy. at least, from what others see of them.
Abilities
*doesn't seem to have any known abilities given to it by its tribe, whatever that tribe may be. does have magic that is presumably given to it by its creators. isn't incredibly powerful, but, when used properly, can make it a formidable foe.
