Losian

== Losian ==
=== Appearance ===
Losian is an energy-based life form; there is something indistinct and wavering about his figure - almost as if you could just wave your talons through him.
Which you could, though it's doubtful he'd let you get close enough to try.
His scales are a dark cyan fringed electric blue, and his eyes are an unnerving scarlet. A brilliant mane streaked with black and thousands of shades of turquoise ripples down the length of his spine. Heavy black shadows and stripes fringe his crest, and his sweeping wings are dipped in starless ebony.
Stature-wise, he's tall and lithe - though this is, of course, illusion. Sometimes, when he sees a dragon with a feature he really likes or admires, he'll mimic it - just to see if it suits him. Or else to serve as an ice breaker when conversations dip into awkward silence.
Opalescent horns and seven white claws on each foot (he struggles to get the number right). No jewelry or ornamentation, of course - it'd just fall right through him - but he's always wondered what it would be like to get his ears or his nose pierced.
His true form is smoky and luminescent. A cloud of star vapor with that same shimmering cerulean-white glow.
=== Personality ===
To say that he's reserved is an understatement. Losian likes to be alone, free from the emotional bombardment of others, and he doesn't like it when his alone time is underappreciated. Solitude lets him think, keep his bearings...
And, well, there's another reason he likes to be alone. Losian's displayed personality is as turbulent as his appearance, as he often adopts a manner that is compatible with those around him. When surrounded by adventurous dragons, he himself is adventurous; when a dragon likes humor, he is humorous. To be so multifaceted and to wear so many masks is an impossibility when surrounded by multiple acquaintances, and his carefully crafted identities start to shatter.
Thus it is very much preferable for him to be alone, or else to have have a one-on-one conversation.
As to what he's actually like - primarily, Losian is a scientist. He is curious about the world and the dragons around him, and he feels that the best way to know a dragon is to build a character that they would find favorable.
So he's not exactly super straightforward or honest about things. He'll happily adopt a hobby or skill in order to spend a few extra hours talking to someone he finds fascinating, but his superficiality tends to come through once he starts to lose interest.
Keeping that in mind, he's an expert manipulator when he wants to be, though he's quite unaware of the moral qualms of it, thinking it only as a means to learn more and connect with other dragons. He feels that, were he to tell the truth of his origins, or if he were to show his true self, others would start to (ahem) alienate him, or else avoid him completely. His unique appearance is intended to draw others in, but a completely farfetched life story as that would only scare them off. Or so he thinks.
It's impossible for him to have long-term friendships with dragons without them discovering his incorporeality. His acquaintanceships are short-lived and often based on lies, though he feels that this is the only way it can be. 
He gets these waves of inexpressible sadness sometimes, when he's sitting by himself and staring into the water.
Oh, and he can never say in one word when twenty will do. A whole lot of waffling and going back and forth; you should never get a debate with him, because somehow he'll agree with you but not, and then he'll be arguing both sides to himself, all the meanwhile considering a third or fourth position that hadn't occurred to him until then.
He's also quite superior. He likes the complexity of dragons but often considers them to be inexperienced fledglings compared to him; dragons, to him, are adorable, in the way that puppies first learning how to walk are.

=== Abilities ===
Phasing
He can 'phase' through objects; mostly because he doesn't really exist on the material plane, and when he's tired he looks even more transparent. Most of the time he sort of hovers off the ground, or flies - though he's starting to master the art of looking like he's sitting on a chair, or standing on the ground, or else completely solid. 
Empathic Abilities
 Able to sense emotions. He likes the puzzle of learning about dragons and being an empath offers what he feels is a cheap shortcut. Not only that, he feels supremely uncomfortable when he's sensing the emotions someone feels about him, especially when those emotions don't line up with how he wants to be percieved. For example, if he were trying to strike up a conversation with someone and then suddenly sensed that they were supremely ticked off with him, he'd spend the rest of the day trying to figure out what he did wrong. 
=== Backstory ===
He was born at the heart of an exploding supernova, a mere wisp of a creature, alone in space. For thousands of years he drifted, wondering if - perhaps - he was the only creature there.
And then he chanced upon the planet of dragons.
It was...exhilarating. He was not alone in the universe, he was not - and the world, it thrummed with life, and even the most simple was infinitely complex. The plants, the animals, and the dragons - oh, the dragons, with their thoughts and emotions and their lifetimes.

=== Relationships ===
Friendships: His "friendships" last a whopping several hours before he up and disappears. Sometimes, when a dragon really catches his interest (either by outsmarting him or being a total paradox), he'll stick around for several days or even a month.
Romance: Confusing, to say the least. He's met draconic couples, he's seen them fall in love, and the strange emotions he senses from them are...well, strange. He's been intrigued by his fair share of dragons, but not, he thinks, in the romantic sense.
Rivalries: Eh. No. He doesn't know any dragons well enough to be a rival, and, anyways, he's too invested in other things to really care about anyone who perceives him as a rival.
== Acquaintances ==
Hysteria: One of the first dragons he met. She taught him most of the jokes he knows, and it was she who helped him adapt to the world. If there was ever a dragon he could even remotely consider a sister, it would be her. After a while, Hysteria started to connect the dots, until she concluded that he was some sort of ghost, and he left shortly after. He's recently started to wish he'd told her the truth. But the past is in the past. Now he can only hope that, when she does think of him, it is with fondness and not hatred.
