 NOTES 
* was tricked into giving up their body for the siren, but at least they're happy. probably.
* is more cold and depressed afterwards but that's alright. the siren is the one in control most of the time, anyways.
* body is half decomposed, as shown by the black tar leaking out of its eyes and arms. they cover their front arms with bandages. 
 APPEARANCE 
mono is tall and lanky, with an angular face and a sharp jawline. 
coffee brown colors paint his main scales, with his secondary scales being a dark umber, dotted with bright blue dots that light up at will. his underscales are an extremely dark brown, so dark that the brown undertones are barely noticeable; most tend to simply call it black. 
blue eye-shaped markings dot down his spine, complimenting the warm brown of his scales, both eerie and soothing at the same time. this is matched by mono's piercing, cold blue that glows in inky black eyes, swirling around in a never-ending circle, always staring straight ahead. 
dark horns jut out from his forehead, curved upwards and streaked with dark lines, as they curve inwards to create the shape akin to that of a heart. whiskers protrude from his chin, long and delicate, with blue accents. 
long, tufted ears follow suit, the left ear slit at the tip to create a 'V' shape of sorts, rendering him deaf in that ear. smaller tears can be seen on both ears. 
bandages adorn his front arms, stained ever so slightly with the faded, dried blood. a patchy scarf wraps around his neck, a key dangling from it. 
 PERSONALITY 
* isolation to extremes. 
* rarely shows emotion, if at all. level-headed in the face of danger. 
* street smart, and knowledgable in that regard. 
* holds grudges that can last a lifetime. 
 HISTORY 
mono was born a nobody in lands of limbo. they had a name, perhaps, but it slipped from their mind. their family was unimportant, their names having faded from memory. his village was a small one tucked away among the outskirts, and he would spend each day in the scrappy tunnel networks, engaging in scrappy fights with other dragonets littering their village. 
it was a strange dragonet, as most were. but it didn't matter, in such a tight-knit community. friends came and went, and his days passed with little substance. they had never liked their life thus far, and when they were old enough to do so, they escaped into the wild. 
they ended up roaming the wastelands bordering the necropolis. it was dangerous, there was no doubt. but it found its newfound freedom... well, free. he soon came across a fellow wanderer, a dragonet like himself. a dragonet cloaked in a vibrant - although dirty and stained - yellow raincoat that stood out among the dreary regions. six, her name was. 
they wandered together for a while, finally arriving at the necropolis. once a city of vibrancy and energy, it was now abandoned, wildlife having infested the industrial complex, with a hazy green fog blanketing their sight. a warped tower stood strong in the center, a vibrantly eerie blue light flickering at the top. 
the two were young, reckless, curious. perhaps too much, and it was their downfall - curiosity always killed the cat, as the stories said. regardless, they decided to climb the tower, explore. they made it to the top when the tower started to crumble. mono and six fled, chased by some unseen monstrous beast. they ended up on a bridge on the very top when it happened. 
six escaped first, her smaller size fitting through the cracks of the crumbling tower. the bridge cracked under the strain, and fell into the chasm below. mono was left on the other side, leaping across. six reached for him, for a second. they managed to flare open their wings, but not before they were suddenly falling, smoky air whistling in his ears as he fell, wings spreading open too late. 
⦿ ⦿ ⦿
something happened in the chasm, whatever it was. mono couldn't name it - couldn't describe it, couldn't think it. whatever the case, darkness swirled in their mind, foggy bits of consciousness left in their fractured mind as they sat alone at the bottom, fleshy walls surrounding him, something cloaking the world above and leaving mono in darkness. days passed, then months. they didn't keep track. 
they woke up one day - although admittedly, they weren't sure if it was a dream or reality - to a figure standing in front of them. sluggishly, they could only stare, and find their voice. asking quietly who the entity was. it replied in a voice laced with honey and dripping with sweetness, and offered mono a deal, one that he couldn't refuse. freedom, to end their suffering. 
he couldn't refuse. 
i loved you, i loved you, i loved you, it's true 
i wanted to be you and do what you do 
i lived here, i loved here, i thought it was true 
i'm so embarrassed, i feel abused
 relationships 
 six // negative 
truthfully? mono... isn't sure what to think of her. ge wants to hate her, wants to resent her. but if he thinks back to the horrid place, he almost... understands... why she did what she did. it's not her fault, although he desperately wants it to be. 
 seven // positive 
another young dragonet who couldn't escape the horrors.... mono feels sympathy - no, empathy, rather - for the young dragonet. he's only seen him a few times, really, always with those awful, gory injuries that had taken his life. 
see how the brain plays around 
and you fall inside a hole you couldn't see 
someone help me, understand what's going on inside my mind 
doctor, i can't tell if i'm not me
