Karst

Karst is wingless, homeless, but content. Wings were amputated during the war. Close friend of Zenith. Karst, named for the landscape of underground rivers and lakes that form as sinkholes develop, is a SandWing/SeaWing hybrid. 
 
Karst was a prisoner of war whose wings were too badly damaged to heal, so they were amputated. After the war ended, it was more difficult than ever to fit back in with the tribe. After spending some time wandering the sea and shores as a vagrant, Karst finally met Zenith. Zenith's persistent positivity finally inspired Karst to want to help others ravaged by the war to heal and find a new calling. Karst began to study medicine and healing, becoming a skilled herbalist and mender of broken bodies, as Zenith often helps to mend broken hearts. 
Karst is a wary, cautious dragon. All too aware of the capacity for harm and cruelty in others, Karst has been trying to learn to see the good in other dragons alongside the bad. Travel is difficult, as Karst cannot fly. But, neither can Zenith, so Karst feels comfortable around him and isn't holding him back.
Karst's body is long and leggy, somewhat resembling a SeaWing with a SandWing's build and the bioluminescent scales that SeaWings possess. Karst has very weak fire breath, and no SandWing tail stinger. Karst's body has many scars, most notably the stumps of the amputated wings, and the tattered remains of the wing-sails attached to them. Karst's parents are unknown and are presumed to have died in the war. Karst quite likes the cool depths of the sea and sunken caverns, as it is the one place where a lack of wings is not a hindrance. 
Karst's tastes in apparel are rather spartan compared to Zenith, and Karst values utility over fashion. Karst is a fierce and skilled fighter, but being trapped on the ground is a serious disadvantage. Karst is skilled with bladed and reach weapons such as spears and tridents. Zenith is looking into constructing contraptions that might allow dragons such as themselves to glide, if not fly, but he has not been successful thus far except on a much smaller scale- gliding toys might be suitable for dragonets, but they don't really help this particular problem.

Karst belongs to Jeredu, and may not be used for any roleplay purposes by anyone who is not Jeredu. Karst's artwork [current art and any future art] may not be used by anyone without Jeredu's explicit written permission. I will probably not be giving permission. 
I will be updating this page with additional art and information in the near future, as well as tweaking the existing art to improve it. Thank you for your patience. This is a work in progress! I still haven't even determined Karst's palette. 
More information might also be added periodically! Watch this space!
