Introduction
 "I can't go to hell, I'm all out of vacation days" 
It's Raining Somewhere Else ~ Toby Fox
There was a certain café in Sanctuary you loved to visit, it wasn't too far from where you lived so often you would visit whenever you felt down. The staff was really nice, they were polite and served their orders quickly, except for one. One hybrid, you didn't know his name, but he always slouched, and groaned, and snarled whenever you showed the slightest sign of impatience. You don't know his name, and quite frankly, you don't want to know. There isn't much of a point, he wouldn't tell you anyways. Though, you always felt bad for him. He didn't seem angry, he was always... Upset. The sad kind. His face was always droopy and tired and you could tell he hated his job. You've always wondered why that was so. 
One day, on a late Saturday night, you walk into the café and lo and behold, the hybrid is at the counter. His eyes were closed, his neck craned downwards. His head bobbed up and down, his breathing slow. His face twitched now and then, his expression twisting slowly. Is he asleep? 
The café was empty, except for a few old dragons, smoking and drinking yucky substances. You inch closer to the counter. You stared at him for a few moments before realizing you were being a creep and tapped his shoulder. He jolted up with a sharp gasp, and you stepped back a few steps. 
"Huh? Oh- Uh, sorry. The place was pretty empty." He blurted, his expression a bit concerned before melting back into a tired one. He sighed, and continued "How can I help you, valued customer?" 
"Oh... Well, how about a coffee? With the cream in a seperate cup." You asked. 
"What. Cream in th-" He murmured under his breath. 
"Well, whatever you say, Valued Customer. What size?" 
"Small for both cups" 
He walked off to begin making the coffee you requested. His tail dragged about and his wings drooped. He looked really tired. Once he had your coffee prepared, he tiredly handed you the two cups and sighed deeply. You turned to leave, but before leaving you asked: 
"You don't mind if I ask your name?"
"... Fine. It's Boatman. ''

Appearance
Boatman is a large, skinny Sea/Hive. He is taller than most dragons, and bears very lanky body features, and some mistake this for malnutritionment. He has the gills, markings, and sail of a SeaWing, and the build and wings of a HiveWing, though the aformentioned gills are practically useless as they only provide a few hours of oxygen underwater. His scales are a light peach color, with a faded cyan underbelly. His gills are darker than his main-scales, a gradient from burnt umber to peach. His back-plates are also a dark cyan. The scales on his forearms and wings are a dark brown, and the membrane is a translucent stormy cyan. The scelera of Boatman's are are obsidian black, and his iris are bright blue.

Personality
Boatman is a very negative dragon around those he doesn't know well. He is very salty and impatient, and has a tendency to snarl. As he has a short temper, he is never afraid to lash out at people whenever he is "not in the mood", as in he is tired or grouchy. He is what one can describe to be "A grump" since most of the time, he drags about a negative and hostile air. He is almost always scowling, and alert, almost in a paranoid way. Boatman also has a very large ego, usually his own needs would come before anyone else's. If he ever wins at anything, he'd boast about it for weeks on end, though it is a rare occurrence. He likes it when he feels like the center of the world, and he loves feeling special. As such, he'll take any opportunity to make himself good, or better than another person. Which will also result in him lying a lot, even to close friends. Usually, when he lies to friends it's to protect them, but anywhere else it's to get out of a bad situation or make himself look better. Boatman also dislikes it when he loses, and absolutely HATES when he gets second place, as he is extremely competitive. Despite all of this, Boatman knows when to act polite or refrain from sounding rude or impatient, typically when one is feeling down or angry.
Boatman, though he is never afraid to lash out at others or express his opinion in a hostile tone, is an introvert. He typically never speaks to new people and avoids most social interaction, unless he wishes to make himself heard. He isn't afraid of it, he's just too tired for it. He doesn't like to engage in casual banter as much, unless he starts the conversation. He has a certain disdain for useless small talk as well. Back to his disinterest in social interaction, it mainly stems from his inexperience in the area.mHis lack of social interaction in his past gave birth to a lot of uneasiness when it came to talking to others. Since he doesn't know how to treat people, he never knows what to do if someone is feeling down. He comes across as socially awkward in situations where he is genuinely confused as to how he is going to continue the conversation without sounding mean.
However, around friends, Boatman is a very different person. To his friend, Sugarglider, he is much nicer. While he still holds his needs as a high priority, he also considers his friend's needs as well. He hates to see his friends sad or stressed, and does his best to make them feel better even if he doesn't know how. He also tries to listen to their desires, but often ends up dragging them around doing what he wants instead. He has a hidden sense of humor that he only shows a few people, which mostly consists of mass amounts of sarcasm and dry humor. He has a keen skill of making people laugh no matter what's going on in their life, or even his own. When he thinks he's safe, he'll crack a lot of jokes since he knows he won't be judged. As well as this, he is extremely loyal to his friends, refusing to leave them and standing by their side no matter what. Even if his life were at risk, he would never leave his friends behind. Though, in any other situation he'd be running for the hills. 
Another one of Boatman's good traits is his intelligence and observation skills. Since he's a very good listener, he can pick up details very well, and understands things very quickly. He also has a very keen eye, both physical and mental. He can notice very small details, or figure out puzzles/riddles with ease. This resulted in wonderful grades in school (which may have resulted in his ego)

*Has a habit of shutting people out or bottling up his feelings
*Lazy whenever he doesn't think his effort is worth it

*Very hostile to new people, especially when he's tired
*Both a short temper, and short patience.
*He has a huge ego and his needs almost ALWAYS come first, everything else second. 
History
“Lie to yourself all the time. It makes you feel better”
Pre-Hatching
Boatman's parents were both rich. His father, Sheephead of the SeaWings, his father owns a large and successful Luxery company (which only sells fancy stuff) and his mother, Scoliid was a fasion designer and catwalker. Both were very popular, and relatively well known. They met when Scoliid's producer paired up with Sheephead for an event in which Scoliid would where Sheephead's silk and jewels. It was mainly for corperate gain on both sides. However, once Scoliid and Sheephead met, they quickly fell for eachother. They were a loveley match, as they had similar interest yet contrasting personalities. Sheephead was egotistical but immensely sweet, and Scoliid was introverted but kind. They married and continued their buisiness partnership. Sheephead considered her the only one that made him happy, even if she wasn't a SeaWing like him. After a few years of marrage, they had a dragonet, being Boatman. A "fasionable" name. The first few years went well, but soon, Scoliid got sick, and she died 5 monthes later. 
Young Years
Drowning in his grief, Sheephead went mad with grief. He became absorbed in preserving Scoliid's legacy. He put her clothes on display and wore her jewels, he made fasion designs based off of her, simply because he didn't want to let go of her memory. While Sheephead loved his son, he loved his wife more. He didn't want to consider his wife dead, as long as he spread her memory on everything Sheephead experienced then she would never be gone. Even so, he couldn't deal with the pain of Scoliid's death. At this point, Boatman was around 2 years old. Sheephead was so absorbed in preserving his wife memory that he didn't pay any attention to anything else. Including Boatman. While Boatman had a whole mansion, he only had it to himself. He was alone most of the time, never had anyone to talk to. No one talked to him or fed him. Gave him anything to drink. Aparrently he had maids and a nana or two, but they were underpayed and mistreated, so at this point all of them quit. While his life was one of luxury, it was only on the outside. Boatman had to sneak outside his house and steal food from the nearby marketplace, and would practically drink rainwater. His father didn't even notice. 
Boatman never cried. He was sad but he never cried. He liked the peace and quiet, and while he was young, he considered himself qualified enough to care for himself.
