Appearance
*grey scales tinted with a golden cream. darker shades of purple-grey go along his back and create a broken stripe pattern down his sides.
* right eye is completely metallic (made of some kind of silvery cream metal) because of a childhood misfire... the nurses intended on healing it, but he insisted on keeping it because... he thought it looked cool. is blind in this eye because of this injury... though he pretends this doesn't bother him.
**for the most part it doesn't really... but he does have a blind spot now... so he has a tendency to bump into things on that side.
*has completely metallic horns in which he harvests metal from as it seems to mysteriously produce it occasionally. while his left horn just has sharp formations beneath... appearing almost like small, metallic stalactites.
*his right horn has some of this, but it also a chain made from the horn itself linked to an earring he wears in his right ear.
*in his left, he just has two earrings, one big and one small that are connected by a thin chain.
*has metal spines going down his back. some of them have dripped onto one another and formed small links.
*bright, beautiful blue eye that sparkles with gleeful mischief.
* tail of tail is metal, parts of his paws are metal, parts of his cheeks are metal, and parts of his snout are metal.
*silver stars along back and undersides of wings.
Personality
cocky, dismissive, melodramatic, and thirsting for excitement to fill his boring life. he isn't one to be pitied, for life was never hard to him merely... uninteresting. the high life he lived, despite being one of grandeur that only few can dream of, was so painfully dull that it brought him such great discontentment. to him, he was stuck in a hole... an endless, boring loop of routine, one that he'd do anything to escape from.
it turned out that chaos brought him that excitement he was looking for. that rush of adrenaline, the excitement of doing something dangerous... something... wrong. he can't even begin to describe how good it feels. to be vile... to be wicked... though he wouldn't describe himself as either... simply a gentleman looking for some fun... in a life of crime.
he's quite self-centered and arrogant, believing himself to be a criminal genius whenever he does anything relatively intelligent. he lives off his own ego and he seeks out success to feed it even more. but because he's become so emotionally attached to the high of success, when he fails... he's more likely to lash out with frustration and anger. khmaz isn't usually a violent person... but pent up frustration, or streaks of failure can really put him in a horrible mood.
he's nothing sort of evil... but not in a organized sense, it's more like chaotic bursts, completely random and unpredictable. he only wishes to amuse himself by causing others to suffer. mostly targeting those he looks down upon, which, with an ego as big as his, is just about everyone, or those he has a grudge against.
with a habit of being mockingly melodramatic and sarcastic, the nightwing is quite dismissive of most peoples' feelings... as he doesn't sympathize with those he looks down upon. with the few he actually does respect, he tends be more playful, often light-heartedly teasing them, and... actually kind towards them. despite all odds, he is quite capable of caring for others... it's just rarely ever shown as he doesn't form many meaningful bonds.
Abilities
he has all of his tribal abilities, that being the ability to breathe fire and see in the dark. these abilities are often overshadowed by khmaz's magic, something he's still not entirely good at using. perhaps his most notable use of magic is having the ability to turn things into a cream-colored malleable metal, a signature of his that he's honed ever since first using it as a dragonet.
his horns, spines, and many other parts of his body are made from this metal and while he doesn't use many of them, he has been known to harvest the metal from his horns as it slowly drips downward. from this he makes either weaponry, tools, jewelry, or small trinkets that he sells for unreasonably high prices.
khmaz is also quite agile, something he needed to learn to be so he could successfully evade capture from the authorities. he may not to proficient in spellcasting, but he does know how to use magic to help in his escapes. he's specialized more into using the magic he already has, that being the metal parts of his body, and using that in different ways to assist. usually he uses it to make tools like lockpicks or makeshift weapons from sharp protrusions that form from his horns.
History
his life started as a tragedy. born to two rich, loving parents and living a life of luxury. his father was a metalworker who crafted metal sculptures made solely to be placed in nobles' courtyards a be a subject of wealthy bragging. his parent, cherri, tended to their large estate, mostly doing the accounting and housekeeping, though they dappled in writing. for what they wrote about, twas that of dystopian worlds terrifying and full of suffering, technology being the source.
from a young age he was raised to be a proper gentleman, praised and loved and disciplined when necessary... though they were perhaps too lenient, for he turned out quite cocky. soon he'd grow fascinated with magic, a sacred art practiced by the dragons of chaandesh, a gift from their god, calypso. it was... a beautiful thing, something that he'd learn to wield himself once he came of age. and when he did... he'd be ready to show everyone how talented he'd be on day one.
it was a memory of his childhood that... wouldn't be easily forgotten, the animus ceremony in which a bunch of dragonets from oldest to youngest would line up and test to see if they had been blessed or scorned. khmaz had been preparing for this moment... looking through spell books his parent owned to find the hardest, flashiest spells. though the hardest one he could find from a book within his reach was... a spell that could turn whatever it hit into a malleable metal... it was a spell his father used in his metalworking "for convenience" he always said...
it was perfect. he would turn whatever it was they wanted him to enchant into metal... perhaps bend it into a trophy for him to place to his shelf with the others...
he was truly fortune's little fool.proud, cocky, wanting to look cool.for when the lad cast his spell,it bounced off the wall and landed on himself.
his right eye was hit directly, a searing, tight pain erupting in its place, as though a hot coal had hit him in the eye. a spattering of the spell fell on to his front feet, turning a few of his paws into metal, and parts of his cheek. dizzy from the pain, it didn't take long for him to fall into unconsciousness. this memory... he looks back on it fondly now, for he always believed comedy = tragedy + time.
