Reckless

“Reckless is a dead NightWing spirit in the Realm of Lost Moons. He is the brother of Snowspirit and lived several thousand years ago, before Darkstalker. He was killed by Snowspirit.”
== Appearance ==
Reckless has the appearance of the average NightWing. He has dark scales, and green eyes. His wings were black with white star patterns. After his death, his sclera turned black and his wings disappeared, due to losing them in death. He has numerous scars from the wounds inflicted by Snowspirit.
== Personality ==
Even when he was alive, Reckless was impatient, brash and bristling with anger. He could hardly contain himself and often took his anger out on his younger brother, Snowspirit. His anger even led to the death of Snowspirit’s friend, Phantomchaser and the deaths of both him and his brother. He was intelligent and capable of kindness, seeing he had a mate and dragonets and loved them dearly, but he just couldn’t offer the same love to his younger brother. After dying, Reckless came to see the errors of his ways and felt extreme guilt over what had happened. He even tried to apologize to Snowspirit, who rejected his apology. Reckless now is doing everything he can to redeem himself, but his old self is still there. He is easily irritated and will lash out if provoked.
== Background ==
Reckless hatched three years before Snowspirit, making him the older sibling. Despite this, he didn’t treat Snowspirit with any kindness, similar to their father. When they did interact, there was always unspoken hostility between them.
Reckless grew to be a respected member of his tribe. He became a private investigator, often hired by the queen himself. All of this attention did not hinder the fact that Snowspirit was his brother and Reckless hated that he would always be reminded that he had a defective NightWing for a family member. He took his anger out on Snowspirit, blaming him for how he was treated.
Reckless eventually fell in love with a calm NightWing named Meadowfall and the two became mates. At the same time, Snowspirit grew close to Phantomchaser, another outcast. This drove Reckless’s reputation through the dirt, as Phantomchaser was a Ghost Seeker, further infuriating him and causing him to believe Snowspirit was causing trouble on purpose. So when Ghost Seekers were stamped as outlaws, Reckless took his chance. He attack Phantomchaser, pushing past Snowspirit and killed her, ripping her wings to shreds and clawing her throat.
Reckless watched as Snowspirit killed several NightWings, including their father, in a blind rage for Phantomchaser’s death and confronted him. He demanded to know how Snowspirit could turn on his own tribe, his family. Snowspirit snapped that it was Reckless who betrayed him and that he’d pay for it. Reckless tried to bring Snowspirit to justice, but his brother escaped.
Reckless eventually moved on and fathered two dragonets, who he loved very much. He looked forward to raising them with Meadowfall when the queen called for his presence. NightWings had been disappearing and she wanted him to find out what what we causing their disappearance. Reckless knew deep down Snowspirit was responsible for the disappearances, but still told the queen he find whoever it was. He said goodbye to his family left, not knowing it was the last time he’d ever see them.
He found Snowspirit alone and knowing it was too dangerous to take him back, Reckless decided to kill him instead. The initial blow to the neck didn’t work and a fight broke out between the two as they tore into each other. Reckless received a neck wound and several scratches to the face, but continued his attack on Snowspirit, returning the blows he had received. Snowspirit triumphed in the end after using a makeshift axe to hack Reckless’s wings off, killing him instantly.
Reckless awoke in the Realm of Lost Moons, angry at first, then horrified. He didn’t think he did anything that bad to end up here. But his treatment of his brother and how he had hurt him had sent him into a literal hell he’d be forced to stay in. He wept, knowing he’d never see his family again.
Reckless tried to reconnect with Snowspirit, but his brother rejected him and stated if Reckless wasn’t going to help, he better stay out of the way. Reckless knew Snowspirit would make good on his threat and stayed away for hundreds of years. Now, he has a chance to right his wrongs and save the world and his descendants from Snowspirit’s wrath.
