stowaways | he/him | eider | ice | runs "the tarmac"
most nowadays know him as the mostly kind, though sometimes prickly, owner of a local treasure of a restaurant in the bay of a thousand scales named ptarmigan's hollow (nicknamed "the tarmac"). which he is. but he wasn't always. every dragon has a story, and eider's led him from a life as a loyal soldier in the ice kingdom to a humble shop owner on the opposite side of the continent. 
he's not who he used to be, and he's happy for it.
if i get too close, and i'm not what you hoped, forgive my northern attitude

Appearance
An IceWing living amongst SeaWings on sandy beaches, Eider sticks out like a sore thumb. However, back home, he blends into the background. Build-wise, he's your typical IceWing soldier, and though he's less in shape since his move, he still sports toned limbs from all his training back home, during and before the war. He also sports scars, though those are more hidden. The clearest scar is his back right leg, sporting no talons at all. It's not entirely a scar - he was already missing talons before the war. A disability that haunted him since birth, but never truly stopped him. Now there rests none, just a foot with no sharp claws. He wears a brown wrap around it most of the time, which helps the pain.
His scales are pretty average, for an IceWing. Silvery-grey mainscales cover most of his body, which blended right in with the snow and ice he spent the majority of his life so far surrounded by. Boring, typical IceWing colours by most standards. Yet he certainly stands out more, silver against golden sand.
His underbelly continues the same trend - snow-white, just the right shade that if he lay on his back in a snowbank he'd likely blend right in to the untrained eye. His horns and talons sport this same pure, pale white.
The thin line of scales along his back does offer some colour. They're ice-blue, running down his neck and back and all the way down his tail, becoming paler as they reach the tip. On his head, he sports a darker, more grey-blue. His eyes are dark blue, but you'd only know if you really looked. At a glance, they just look beady and black. 
Where Eider used to constantly sport a scowl, his expression now is much more neutral, less angry. Sometimes, like on a good day at the Tarmac or when he's out watching his son Snowbird splash in the water without a care in the world, a smile even breaks its way onto his snout. But even when he isn't physically smiling, there's always a warm twinkle in his eye, now. Sure, when things are tough, his eyes can harden over like they always used to do, but they don't do that much anymore.
They say your eyes reflect your soul. Eider is happier, and his eyes reflect that.
oh i was raised out in the cold
Personality
Eider has never been the bright, happy type, even now. As he grew up, he had to have a tough shell to deal with the remarks he caught from others about his missing talons. He threw himself into being a good soldier so people would look past what he saw as his faults. He was, even at a young age, cold and stoic. Order and precision were his greatest values, and he grew to look down upon all those who didn't hold them. He became a hardened soldier before he even enlisted. But that's not all he is.
Eider is fiercely loyal, and he will always stand by and protect those that he aligns himself with. However, he isn't blindly faithful. He'll stand by someone, but he will change alliances to suit his morals. He isn't selfish, but he refuses to go against his own code for anyone. Most of those Eider dislikes, he despises with a burning hate. He doesn't make it obvious, preferring to seethe in silence, but he will speak out if he deems it necessary. When he has conflict with someone but doesn't fully hate them, he's more obvious. Sneers, cutting remarks, the like.
Eider did have soft spots. Little ones, reserved for only the ones he loved most. But the loss of Mist, one of the only ones who revealed this softness, caused him to harden even further. He retreated inwards, threw himself further into his duty. He also became fiercely protective over his son, so much that he was almost overbearing.
He can be quite stubborn, and it can take a decent amount of convincing to change his mind about something. He deals in facts, and often emotions aren't enough to shake him from his beliefs, although that is less true nowadays. He needs to see or hear proof for claims, and he is often skeptical.
Through his time with the Stowaways, Eider still had these traits. Being who he was for so long, they are practically inescapable. However, he's become softer around the edges. He's grown to care for more than just the select few he used to open up his heart to. His sense of duty has shifted to more of a sense of justice, a want for dragons to get what they deserve, good or bad.
Eider has a very soft spot for dragonets, especially his own son. They're his favourite customers, and when he speaks to a dragonet, that is when a rare smile of his typically breaks through.
if the sun don't rise 'til the summertime, forgive my northern attitude, oh i was raised on little light
