You are entering what looks like a large room with no wall, or a floor. Fireflies flit through the air carelessly, lighting the space with a warm, soft glow. Large beams support the rooms roof and, and you can feel the cool breeze on your face.
Turning, you see multiple large jars, full to the top with mud. There is a small sleeping area in the left corner, made out of a sprawl of blankets and strewn with unwritten letters. A storage area in to your right, with enough food for a herd of cows. The center is an open space, with a collection of small hanging gardens, and a small pool in the center. 
The dragons belongings are strewn about sloppily.
A loud flapping noise sounds behind you. 
"What brings you to my place? Sorry it's such a mess. I'm always told to clean up my home, but do I listen? No. " a deep male voice said, sighing. "If you're wondering, my name is Dusk. I'm the owner of this place. Beautiful, isn't it? Nice to meet you." 
"What's your purpose at my humble dwelling? What would you like to know?"
 > Ask Dusk about himself.
"Oh, about myself. I suppose that's a decent question... What do you want to know?"
----
Personality
----
"Personality. Oh. That's a toughie. Others like to call me secure in my beliefs, I know that. They call me strong too, I suppose. I'm pretty friendly as well, I mean, I'm talking to a total stranger right now. Dragons call me 'great' and all, but on the inside I feel much lesser than most. I feel as if other dragons are better than me, is the gist of it. I get distracted easily. I'm loyal to my friends. On the outside, I'm rather obedient, but sometimes I'd rather do something completely different, and when I do feel that way, I vocalize it. Once. Or twice. Maybe three, but.... this is getting off track. On the secure in my beliefs part, it basically means I'm completely sure at all times that what I'm doing is right, and that once I've chosen my decision, theirs no going back, whether I like it or not. I never second guess myself because of that, because, what would be the point, you know? Now this is getting rambly, lets move on...
 ----
Gender & Orientation
----
"Oh, my gender? Easy. Male. Though that is a pretty specific question... On the orientation part. I guess I'll tell you. I like both types of dragons. Male and female. What's wrong with that? These things weren't set in stone, you know. I, at one point, only liked females, but one very important dragon changed that..."
----
Tribe
----
"Ah, tribe. Easy. I'm a MudWing, through and through. Zip other-tribe ancestors. Nada."
----
Family & Relatives
----
"Oh, family and relatives? Well, I have a mother named Cypress, and a father named Caiman. My mother and father don't speak to eachother, like the usual MudWing way. I like my mother. She's nice enough. I haven't seen her since I joined Jade Mountain Academy though. My father, on the other claw, was my battle commander and no-nonsense. He didn't like dragonets, and it was clear. He hates my guts, because I left to be a 'stupid student'. I hate his guts too though, so that's alright. I have three siblings, Otter, Lichen, and Tortoise who all died from a croc attack when we were young. Tortoise was our bigwings. I was born second. I don't remember them very much, but I can sometimes remember the unbreakable bond between us, like we were melded together by our very souls."
----
Powers & Abilities
----
"Powers? Psh. I have no powers, unless you call breathing fire when I'm warm and holding my breath for an hour, powers. I'm a normal Mudwing. Simple as that. Though, I've been told I have irregularly large wings for my size, which makes it easier to fly faster, though they are a bit of a pain to drag around..."
----
Weaknesses
----
"I suppose my weakness would be my love, Stargazer. He's the only one that could make me vulnerable like that. As well as that, though I would never admit it, my father makes me weak inside. I mean, my own father, being like that? Ugh. Physically, my wings provide a bit of a hindrance in weight, and they make quite a big target for others to attack. Yeah...that's probably it."
----
Likes
----
"I guess I would say I like to swim in mud...you know...cause I'm a Mudwing. I like stargazing, I learned that from my wonderful husband Stargazer. I like to make signs out of the stars. I like those purple tubers... Orchidsweets, were they? 
----
Dislikes
----
"Oh, I just am terrified of scavengers. Their little scrawny bodies, spindly limbs, just.....ugh. I don't like being in loud spaces. I don't like dragons who lie. I hate my father. He should have never been born. Then again, then I wouldn't be born. Oh and oh my moons I hate dragons who wear jewelry. Its just so... bleah."
----
Relationships
----
Stargazer
"Stargazer....I can't even begin to describe. He is my other half. I belong to him. Entirely. He belongs to me. Entirely. Every atom in me screams to be with him, kiss him, comfort him, listen to him, love him. It's impossible to even try to fathom what I feel. I do not deserve such a dragon. I should also point out that he is my husband. And, the 'father' of my children, if we're speaking technically."
Dawn
"Dawn is my precious daughter. She, and her brother, own whatever is left of my heart. When she hatched, it was like my entire universe turned upside down and flipped sideways. She was just so....us. Stargazer and I. I would give my life 100x over for her."
Sunrise
"Ah, Sunrise. My son. He is very similar to me, yet entirely unique. He is very handsome. Just as lovely as his sister. I will pass all my knowledge to him. And I would happily give my life. He is Stargazer and I, like his sister."
Cypress
"Oh, Cypress? She is my mother. I have a pretty neutral relationship with her. I love her. She loves me, simple as that. Though I constantly wonder why she chose to take Caiman as a husband."
Caiman
"Ugh, that lying, hateful snake. He beat me when I was a young dragon. He hated me, just like I hated him. I've always had a superstition that he was the one that led my siblings to their death. To this day, if I delve deep into my soul, I can still hear them calling for me.... but that's off topic. This is making me angry. Can we talk about something else please?
-----
"Well, that's probably everything about me...."
 > Ask Dusk about his dragonethood.
 Oh, my dragonethood? That's a... story, and not a short one, but if you would like to hear it, listen in. When I was born, I was born second-biggest of my pod. Tortoise was the largest, our Bigwings. I had two other siblings besides her, Lichen, the youngest, who was male, and Otter, the second brother that was second youngest. Tortoise was the only girl, and sometimes I wonder what it was like to be the female leader of the group. Then, when we were around, oh, I suppose 3 months, I stayed behind one day while the rest went on a training mission with my father. They were supposed to go train by getting their first kill, but....they never came back. Caiman did though, and the lying snake he was told the village that they died fighting off a gator when he wasn't looking. It was hard to believe. Three dragonets, dying by gator? No. Not possible. So I assumed it must've been Caiman who killed them. He never wanted kids in the first place... But without my siblings to stay with, to shield each other from the wrath of our father, I was the only target. To save myself, I split off from Caimans pod he was training and went to train with a nice older commander named Gurgle. After a few years with her, I had my first mission. I hated it. I am not a fighter, though I have the body of one. At that point I happened to run into my mother on the way back, and we had a chat. She talked about a school to the north, and how she would've gone there if she was young like me. So I asked her if I could go and....she said yes. A couple weeks after that, I was flying to Jade Mountain Academy!
