How could a being so humble and insecure have such a wonderful dragonethood? Perhaps him, Askar, wanderer of the rainforest, leaving no imprint on the world, just mindlessly wandering. And it all started in the outskirts of sanctuary, in a house next to a huge lake and trees. There in this certain house lived a now single mother and her three sons, Erich (a tall, handsome dragonet with rippling orange scales and a feathery blue ruff), Askar (a skeletal, tall dragonet with light orange scales, silvery freckles and a showy blue ruff of fading colors), and Drake (a small dragonet with pale orange scales and stubby, dark blue horns). Although Askar may have been bossed around a little by his older brother, things were fine in all the world. Just then, in that wonderful, spring-smelling backyard, the hybrid thought his life would be normal.
All of a sudden, as soon as he turned 14, his mother could no longer care of him or his brothers and with that, she took them to daycare, promising to be back as soon as she got enough scales to take care of them. Though Askar never saw this as abandonment, nor did the other two, who would have cared less, he saw this is a temporary place to stay until she came back. Which she never did.

Night falls over the rainforest and the hushed silence of every animal follows closely behind. All that can be heard of the whispers of RainWings and NightWing, chatting around the town. Askar stands apart from the others, not sulking creepily in the dark, but simply sitting apart. Alone, anxious and thinking. Cold taps lightly on pastel orange scales that are in shape, snake-like, more like a RainWing. Yet from the shape of his horns, Askar appears a hybrid of both tribes, RainWings and NightWings. Although it's not that obvious to guess that from all his RainWing counterparts and so very few NightWing counterparts. As the hybrid continued to stare out into the night he began pondering again. What creatures lurked in the nooks and crannies of the darkness and why was everyone so scared to take a look?
The cold started lightly beating on everyone near the rise of the moon, ghostly and mysterious in its ways. Askar pulled his brown fur coat closer, as though trying to suck any possible warmth out of it. The gold-stained brass ring that sat loosely around his neck was cold against his scales. It made him want to shiver, it made his scales feel itchy and weird. He knew well enough that the cold was his most loathed enemy. There was just something about it that made his scales crawl and feel awkward. Dark pastel blue eyes stared wearily at the other dragons, dancing around open flames, having a good time, enjoying themselves. Was it envy that crawled into his stomach? He wasn't sure, but it was a new feeling that he couldn't quite name.
So there he sat, staring with longing envy at the flames, just out of reach, he didn't want to go near them. Fire was just about as hated as the cold in his world. But in the light of the fire, one could see more features of this dragon. The silvery white freckles upon his snout, the burnt orange running to separate the main scales from his cream underbelly. A pastel blue ruff that sticks out awkwardly from behind his ears. Along with the silvery markings on the edges of them, like stars in a way. Darker blues just barely appear from the darkness, fading from the pastel blues to that at the edges. Dark pastel blue horns poke straight out from behind his head, showing some descent from the NightWing side. Two small fangs can just be made out in the firelight. Protruding from the top jaw out of his mouth, they were the not-so venomous fangs that the RainWings had.
The only other thing that can be seen, that isn't hidden by a thick blanket of darkness is the burnt orange caressing the top of his head. Although that is all one can see of him. Or should I say, that used to be all one could see of him. If he hadn't come to the conclusion of coming closer to the flames, no matter what his anxieties said. Askar wasn't about to freeze to death and that warmth felt much better on his scales. No one said anything for a moment, their whispering stopped as they all stared at him. Then they began whispering again as though nothing ever happened. He liked that, he liked not being acknowledged by anyone, to be forgotten. A row of dark pastel blue spines run down his back, the same color as his horns. There's nothing much else to say about that. Although the nose horn perched on his snout remains the same color, so are his dulled down, dirty talons.
Askar's build remains tall, skeletal and stocky, well-built yet thin, the coat hides the faint highlights of ribs, although he's recently been improving on that problem. A long tail curls around his talons as he relaxes, but it doesn't look prehensile, no matter how long it is. His wings sneak out from under their covers, only faintly but enough to show the colors beneath the thick fur coat. Pastel blues and dark blues similar in pattern to his ruff, just with no stars at the edges. Near the base, in which the membranes meet the side of his thin body, deeper pastel blues are displayed, a few shades darker the the color at the faded edges. His expression never really strayed far from sad or anxious, so that was exactly what he wore. An anxious expression hiding so much below it. So there he sat, staring up at the night sky filled with pinprick stars, surrounded by whispering dragons. Content but anxious as always.

kinda redoing this too.
Constantly seen rambling on to himself, this good-natured and humble dragon wanders the plain of existence in search of something in which he can't exactly explain. In any conversation he's in, Askar appears humble, overly polite and respectful, although a certain anxiety seems to enter his tone most of the time. Yet he always seems to say what he thinks others would want him to say rather than what he truly thinks. Mainly because his greatest flaw is caring so deeply about what others think of him. It often times makes him feel like his real opinions aren't important and that he needs to lie in order to make the other dragon think he's a nice kid. Better to see him as what they want him to be rather than what he really is. That's what Askar says.

* tends to be hard on himself, very jumpy and ditsy, easy to scare and intimidate.
*wishes to protect his younger brother, drake, from any harm, although he's not known for his confidence or bravery so he's having trouble protecting anyone.
* awkward and quirky, used to like space but now is stressed out on other things. may sometimes have mood swings.
*hates doing the same thing over and over again, it gets boring after awhile. accepting to change.
*also tends to struggle to find his place in the world, but sees himself as an adventurer. now is just trying to find bravery in himself, or at least some hint of confidence or need to travel.
* wants to turn back time, to the good old days, still finding happiness, searching for it. 
**never knowing that it was actually with him the entire time.
*often times finds himself pondering if he even exists, or if he's simply a puppet that the real askar is controlling.

*supportive!! will give you a hug for all of your efforts.

redoing!!!!
*lived a nice life in sanctuary, amazing childhood. although he never met his father,,, and mother was awesome an' stuff.
*lived in a treehouse in the outskirts of sanctuary, near a lake, it was a really nice.
*had an amazing dragonethood filled with dreams of space and wishing upon stars and childhood stories. without giving a care in the world for problems.
*askar was the middle child, his older brother was a headstrong jerk while his younger brother was optimistic, cheerful and gullible. enoch, askar, drake.
*at first, askar wasn't an insecure guy,,, but actually quite humble, good-natured and polite, yet also a snitch who always strived to do what's right.
*he had dreams of becoming an astronaut, for the hybrid dragonet loved astronomy and science of space variant, he was determined to be the first dragon to the moons.
*childhood is over bro, turned 14 when all three brothers were sent to daycare, their mother no longer could care for them, but didn't want to send them to some filthy orphanage.
*she was never seen again after dropping them all off, although askar kept hoping she'd come back to visit or something like that.
* word was out that she went missing. :(
*that dramatically turned him into someone insecure, he wasn't ready to grow up. started getting a little paranoid when it came to what others thought.

please roleplay beforehand

loves his mother dearly and refuses to believe that she is dead like his other brothers think. found her to be nice but slightly twitch and antsy, perhaps even a bit paranoid at times. still cares about her, though, and is determined to find out what happened to her. often reminiscences about all the good times he and his brothers had with her.
Very Positive
E N O C H
never met him since he died before askar hatched, but knew he was bad news from how little anyone talks about him. even frin, the bravest and most proud of the three brothers is afraid to talk about him, he was the only one who actually ever met him other than their mother. judging by the emotional and physical scars that were left on both of them, askar hates enoch. even if frin can get a bit annoying at times, he didn't deserve what their father did to him.
Very Negative
F R I N
often clashes with frin due to being almost complete polar opposites. frin is confident, stubborn, outgoing, prideful, and brave while askar is humble, meek, insecure, paranoid, shy, and fearful. frin often picks on him, making fun of some of his nerdy hobbies and generally goes around being a nusiance. even then, askar still cares about him.

has a boldface crush on the nightwing, he's not even trying to hide it anymore. heka knows about this because... he has eyes, but is still trying to figure things out. this is the first time both of them have been in this kind of relationship, so he still isn't sure how to feel exactly.

has a private, sibling-like relationship with her. despite how anxious he gets in social situations, he isn't afraid of the fact that agouti is a ghost. feels like her older brother and feels responsible for making sure she doesn't get into trouble. isn't sure if she can get hurt, but he also makes sure she doesn't get hurt too.
Very Positive
