they / them ◍ questioning ◍ wanderer
this character belongs to radar, please refrain from taking them, thank you
A long, long time ago, when the world was still new, there lived a constellation, one may sometimes see it in the sky, taking the shape of a small bird or perhaps a fox. This is the Stellar Constellation, the first constellation to be made in the night skies of Pyrrhia and from it, birthed the first stars. Some may think they're made of gasses or heat or just plain light itself, but really, they're little creatures, taking the form of any animal. Every night, as soon as the sun goes down, they come out and play, dance, sing, enjoy life in the skies. The more joyous they are, the brighter their bodies glow, they flicker across the skies of Pyrrhia. And within these stars, there lay a bird-dragon, borne a kin of stardust and magic, like the millions of siblings.
Their name was Kres.... the first of their kind in centuries.

Appearance
The Silent Wanderer.
They are as mysterious as they are strange. Scales ripple, like shining water, down their body, filling it with a warm cornflower blue. Pale sky blue crawls across their chest and down their underside as a smoothly-plated underbelly. Opposite of it is Kres' sail, which is a pale seafoam green, flowing with a short, wavy sail down their back. Encrusting their cheek like jewels are a few small scales that are slightly bluer than their main scales. As such, they are very faintly seen and typically blend into the background. What doesn't are the small, sky blue freckles that dapple a small portion of their cheeks.
Kres' eyes are watery, light grey-purple.

Such a mysterious character could be seen wandering the lands, ruins of Monument's Ledge, they're strange ways still unknown, yet an appearance can be provided of this figure, their dark turquoise scales shimmering like the distant sound of ocean waves, tinged and highlighted with teals as though dappling their scales, upon the neck, on either sides soft-curving gills. Although the main point of interest, the flowing cloak around their body. A pale purple that would appear to some as white, it covers almost every aspect of their body, hiding wings and tail, but the legs, a slender black, remain tall, not engulfed by the blinding whiteness, although it spits out their neck, short in size yet a misty, lighter hue of turquoise blue running down as their underbelly, as though a flowing river until consumed.
With glazy, light purple eyes wavering and flickering emotionlessly across their face and a snout, short in size, lacking a true facial expression on the mouth which, unusually, doesn't show well mixed in with their scales and, at a glance, it would appear they have no mouth at all. A large sail, a light cyan, wavering snow, runs down their back, from a starting point on their head, as though a crest, ending at the very scruff of their neck.
To ask for their name would come in new for them, being all alone in this world wandering around, stuck in the same form, but their name would come out fondly as Kres, a strange name one may say. But no one has seen them as they truly are, there is however a way, to break the curse and set them all free and if you saw them in this form, ones eyes would become widened for the figure that would stand before you.
A bright bird-dragon with pure obsidian black eyes, a flowing white robe and a mane of white, it all blends in as if one figure in itself yet, they're so breathtaking when free... although this form had never been taken since the curse fell upon their shoulders. But that's out of the question, for the true appearance is their build, short and stocky yet looming to those that may pass them by, as though chiseled from marble itself, their shoulders remain rounded and almost polished one may say. With a sweeping tail hidden behind the robe of silk, you'd consider them a sight, yet when upon a closer look, their appearance seems to change ever so slightly upon each visit.
There then reveals their wings as they truly are underneath the robe of whiteness, auras of pastel blues, sea greens rippling as though an ocean full of life and loss, pulsating across veins of deep ocean blues, sinking into the deep itself, nearing the tips, utter perfection yet while the curse stays, their blind to true liveliness. Kres has ears of a fox, large and perked and within its insides, a hot magenta, as though a fire of pink spring its smells seem to fill the air with flowers and the distant spray of the ocean, even standing next to them and closing your eyes, even if you've never seen the beloved waves rippling blue-green, you can see it, the calmness that fills heart and soul, the sound of the ocean calmly splashing inside your ears. This is the mysterious aura spreading around them, making others go dreamy, yet there seems to be a longing on their snout to be free, they have of course seen that side... soon enough.
Personality
*very stoic, shy, and wistful. rarely talks, preferring to just be silent because talking makes them anxious. doesn't seem interested in actually talking to people and making connections anyway. prefers studying mortals from afar.
*does get a little... flustered, but nevertheless touched, when someone invites them to join a game they're playing. does like... feeling like a part of a community... it reminds them of home... they just... don't want to make any intimate relationships.
*fascinated by creative expression and has attempted to do so themself to mixed results. doesn't seem to fully grasp the concept of expressing themself and seems to believe there is a right and wrong way to do it.
*was never taught creative expression back home because... creative expression isn't really... encouraged, especially not by the servants of the divines, their only duty is to serve their masters, not express themsleves.
----A mysterious aura flows over them if you were to meet them and even if that was the fact, they appear as though they have no personality, emotionless, simply a lost spirit gliding aimlessly across the ruins, slightly webbed talons clicking against colored stone, yet they appear to have a longing respect and kindness to others. Although it's hard to truly tell their opinions on something for they don't talk, their silence means a thousand words, this is the current state they're in, lost and empty-minded, just wanting to get home back to their family in the Stellar Constellation. Yet in most cases, even if they can't speak, they're rather laid back and secretive, rather they believe that no one but their own kind will understand anything they think or... "say" in fact, the mortals are too blinded with their self-centeredness to care, this has caused self-doubt and sometimes even a question of true sanity.
Often times, Kres is... lost in thought, a blank slate during these times of emotionless silence, a white abyss in itself, pondering so deeply they'll physically freeze up, push the pause and think deeply about the questions they are in need of answering, this is for some quite bothersome and annoying, not being able to say anything to a frozen statue full of thought of lost of words. They do seem to have a bright curiosity, give you that, not the nosy kind, but the polite, interested kind, the one that would ask as though a curious child, which this figure seems to have some of, indeed. But the thing is, there are the most questionable things about the tribeless dragon, flickers of mischief crossing their eyes occasionally, the one prone to the theft of the monuments themselves which had caused a unfortunate collapse for the years following until believing it was time to return them back to how they originally were.
They are at the most strange to those who don't understand their ways, the silence Kres brings upon a group, if there was in fact a group residing within Monument's Ledge which alas has never been found at the least. There is still responsibility in the dragon before you, may have been thieving in the past, but now rid of their former curse, they remain the biggest of all mysteries of the realm at most, lacking of emotion yet inside can be quite lonely without their family. Perhaps they're just one of those determined souls trying to find their way back to the realm they had formerly belonged to, or maybe they just were lost and were in need of some remembering, forgiveness for their past crimes against the ledge itself. Then again who knows if one can't enter Kres, their mind remaining too complex, too strange for those to even enter, yet they're not intellectual or perfect in any way, just... them.
Abilities / Weaknesses 
*literally has almost no abilities to really speak of.
*athletic, i guess?
*observant, can understand how others are feeling in general by their facial expressions and general body language.
* can breathe underwater because they're a seawing now. can also see underwater, but that's all they gained from this tribe they turned into.
Backstory
*was created from essence and stardust, brought into the world as a small creature within a realm known as the divine gardens, a small realm in which servants of deities from the haven of divinity live. resided in a place known as the stellar constellation, which is where most servants to celestial gods live... this is one of many constellations, with a majority of them making up the gardens as celestials have a LOT of servants to keep up with how many celestial deities there are. the two realms are incredibly intertwined with one another, but are, nevertheless, separate. gateways connect the two together.
*while they don't have any biological relatives, not really being biological themself, they do have a "mother," who acts as a maternal figure for them, one to give them guidance and discipline. this "mother," who goes by mother stella, the mother of the stellar constellation, would also be the caretaker of many others like them... in fact, she cared for just about everyone in the stellar constellation until they reach independence. she was assigned this duty by celestial deities.
*waynin was another who was formed (this worlds term for hatching) around the same time krescent was, albeit a little earlier. the two would form a strong kinship early on and would soon be bonded, or officially be considered kin under a last name (officially called a "bond" name by the divines) in the eyes of the divines (another name for deities), under the last name mune as official siblings by the celestials themselves.
----
Of strange beginnings they were, made of the universe's essence and stardust, one would never think of space as a place where a tribe of dragons lived, for one Kres lived in a family of bird dragons of Stellar Constellation, in peace, away from all the galactic wars and violence of Pyrrhia, those were in the peaceful times, life couldn't have been better. But the thing is, these figures, they don't appear what the tribeless being is now, snow white bird dragons they were, the dragonet themself wasn't any different. You'd expect life going on this way, but, however wasn't the case in this story, for even if the years went by like normal, a storm had occurred and within its grasp, it took the dragonet, young at age for a star, away... they fell to Monument's Ledge like the rest of the stars.
They were alone, body hitting roughly against the black wood of the trees, feathered wings painfully beating against the long poles of the forest they'd crashed into, hope seemed to be farther away than they ever thought possible, this strange new world they were whisked off to. The new smells of pine and wet stone and dirt clogged the dragonet's nose, but what could they have done? There was no possible escape from the wind, it seemed as though this growing loneliness, it filled their heart and the horrid tears ran down, the white, snowy bird dragon was left, abandoned by the current and left in a seemingly never ending forest.
You may expect one to end here, while the dragonet loses hope on the world, but that is unso, for there has to be something else that happens. Yes, there is, for after those few dreadful minutes past, a blinding white light shined down from above, softly brushing the downy white feathers of Kres. With newfound hope, they looked up, gazing upon this new light that came from that of their mother. They started a way back home to the Stellar Constellation, the compassion and determination glittering in their eyes, quick eye movement as they watched the flickering light through the treetops as though a lowly star in the sky. The cold air, the skeletal branches in hulking black forms crossing the navy sky and within that, purple stone, cutting into the sky, twisting into impossible forms and at the top, in the midst of the stilled air, a shimmering object, squarish in shape, flashing in the starlight of their mother.

Worldbuilding Notes 
*bonding is what the divines came up with for those who felt a strong kinship for another and wanted to be seen officially as kin. "bond" names were used to officially cement that bond, with the bond name being decided by the mother of the constellation they originate from. the ones who wish to be bonded occasionally have some control over what the name is.
*once invited to the palace, the place where the three divine prophets live, as part of a diplomatic meeting of all the constellation guardians. some of their more disciplined "children" were allowed to come with them, waynin and krescent being two of them. this was under the oath that they'd keep track of them at all times so they wouldn't cause mischief. the prophets weren't taking any chances of chaos wrecking their palace.
*the divine prophets act in the name of architects, the most powerful of all deities. the universe (creator of celestial deities), the maiden (creator of elemental deities), and the tower (creator of death & time and alleged master of all fallen deities), all of them creators that needed their creations to be disciplined lest their world fall apart from unruly disorder and chaos.
*deities are kept alive by the influence they have in pandora (the mortal realm), with everyone forgetting you being the way they usually die (with death being slow and very emotionally distressing). though they can also be slain by other deities / divine figures.
*so the haven of divinity is dependent on pandora and pandora is dependent on the haven of divinity. and because of this cycle of dependency, divine laws were set in place to prevent deities from ruining this cycle.
*deities aren't supposed to interact with mortals in any physical sense and are only allowed to give them blessings in exchange for devotion. they can also give them signs as a form of communication, but they have to do it discreetly. in divine society, mortals are usually looked down upon as servants, only there to follow the commands of their gods.
*only very specific deities were ever allowed to actually cross into pandora, those mainly being elemental deities, the ones who were responsible for every force of nature. so they... kinda had to be there.
**elemental deities, upon entering pandora, go in knowing that they're going to have to sacrifice their bodies in order for life to grow. only their minds remain to which they use to keep everything in balance. their power only remains because other mortals worship nature. elemental deities are the only ones that are practically immortal... as no one ever forgets nature itself.
**the only way elemental deities die is if all life on the planet is eradicated, because then there is nothing left to remember them and they start to rot and decay till the planet is naught but a barren wasteland.
*the moons were the guardians of the planet pyrrhia is on, monitoring from afar, but not actually... doing anything. most celestial deities were guardians of their own planets that they ruled over from afar.
*the three siblings that made up the moons were klokhet of wisdom, kismet of fortune, and skydd of protection. klokhet was the eldest and skydd was the youngest and, as such, they weren't respected at all by their peers.
**technically all celestial deities are siblings to some extent as all of them come from the same source, the universe, creator of all celestials.
**the universe... doesn't really have a physical form anymore, having ascended to a point of no longer needing a body, but its mind is still there... at the eye of the universe.
**the universe is one of three "higher deities" which are gods of purely creation and nothing else. the universe is of neutral creation, merely creating for the sake of it. it creates life when the maiden creates a world for them to inhabit.
**the maiden is the deity of life and sacrifice, what is known by the divine as "good creation," with its creations living solely to be sacrificed for new life to bloom.
***the maiden is the source of all elemental deities, the ones that allow life to grow on different planets by sacrificing their own bodies.
**the tower, though it's now known as "the divine heretic," is the final "higher deity" who is of "bad creation" according to the divine. it's said that all evil once originated from it and its only wish now is of animalistic spreading. it's believed that all evil within pandora originated from it and the influence of its creations are what drives wicked deeds.
***the tower itself is as strange as it is misunderstood. while considered by most divines as purely evil, a creature of heresy come to destroy the balance for discord, it's also considered the origin of the sibling deities death and time, two beings who aren't inherently pure or wicked.
***it's just that it's often looked down upon for its creations that drive others to wickedness that no one considers that, without it, death and time wouldn't exist.
***someone had to be the force of destruction... and the tower would become the one to keep the universe's rampant creation in check by making sure they eventually die in one way or another.
***it is known as "the divine heretic" because its creations manifest as wicked thoughts in mortals. most of these wicked thoughts are either selfish and genuinely wicked acts... or what the divines think are wicked thoughts as they're considered to encourage acts of dissent or heresy.
***additionally, deities who were labelled as heretics by other divines are said to have been afflicted or cursed by the tower's influence and are now a servant of it. strangely, most of these "heretics" were labelled as such for breaking divine law by travelling to pandora to help mortals.
