Marsh's SandWing OCs

Marsh's SandWing OCs.
== Topaz ==
=== Appearance: ===
Topaz has large amber eyes (inherited from his SkyWing grandfather along with larger wings and long legs), dark tan SkyWing horns, and a narrow snout. His head is a reddish-gold color, with small golden scales clustered towards the top of his snout.  Most of the rest of his scales are a muted, pastel yellow color, similar to Sky’s but closer to dandelion in color (though slightly paler). Dotting his body and becoming more clustered down his tail, like a LeafWing, is a lighter tan color. His underbelly is a bleached red-gold that darkens into maroon when he is feeling strong emotions, but mostly it only changes slightly, and is basically unnoticeable. Only an event such as the end of the world would turn it true maroon. However, the changes are more prominent at the tip of his neck, where it meets his head. He has large ears, unnaturally small teeth, and short horns, as well as RainWing fangs (though the venom glands appear to be missing). He can’t fold them back into his mouth, but since they are quite small, they often are unnoticeable, even when they are poking out from his mouth. He has a forked tongue. His wings, which are quite large due to his SkyWing ancestry,  have faint copper veins and hints of scarlet around the edges of the membranes, and this color is much more noticeable and appears to cover a larger area when exposed to lots of sunlight. His legs are a darker shade than the rest of him, and this extends to his wing fingers, which fade darker at the tips. He lost one of his toes on his left back talon, and has an unrelated burn scar along the same leg from when he fell into a lantern at the age of three. But if he folded in his wings and nobody looked too closely, he would look exactly like a normal SandWing.
=== Abilities: ===
Topaz, due to being part SkyWing, has much larger wings that allow him to fly much faster and stronger than a regular SandWing. His SkyWing ancestry also gifts him stronger fire than both tribes, though it is nothing compared to the fire-breathing of a firescales, for example. However, it also takes longer for him to charge up - a maximum-heat bolt of fire (and it is a bolt, as he cannot breathe max-heat fire for long periods of time) takes a full six seconds to charge. This slowness of his fire-charging is attributed to the fact he has RainWing DNA. Topaz has a smaller tail barb that isn’t as lethal as normal, but it does cause much more pain, possibly an infusion of normal SandWing tail venom and RainWing fang venom, and can still kill if he stabs the neck and spine. He can also “spray” this venom by causing his tail barb venom to leak (an ability not found in any other SandWing) and whipping his tail around, though the venom seems to be less deadly when used this way (perhaps it has something to do with its contact to air). He has a very reflective scale above each of his eyes, which he can reflect sunlight off of like an IceWing. He is very good at fighting, despite his strength. He is good at swimming and flying, but isn’t as fast on the ground, despite his agility and long legs.
=== Personality: ===
Topaz is smart and sarcastic. He tries to hide his feelings and insecurities, but they often slip out anyway, though he is very good at keeping secrets. He doesn’t like it when things get too complicated or busy, preferring to make them simpler - e.g. telling everyone he’s pure SandWing. Despite this, he is quite clever, using his available resources to rope him towards his goal, which can make him manipulative at times. He tells little lies often, usually for the purpose of making things simpler, and doesn’t consider them as straight-out lies. Topaz holds grudges and releases them reluctantly, but only when he receives no apology. He is slightly paranoid and doesn’t like revealing personal details, though he warms up to other dragons fairly quickly. He tries to be friendly but is snippy in a bad mood, or when he’s bored. He is stubborn and determined, often losing sight of other things in his quest for one particular other thing, often causing other dragons to be severely annoyed by him. Most dragons just see him as annoying, since he only lets dragons he trusts close. 
=== Backstory: ===
Topaz is not fully SandWing. His grandfather was a SkyWing, and when searching his family tree for a RainWing, he discovered that there is NightWing in him as well, though it seems to be a recessive gene. It could have something to do with his tendency to stay up later into the night than most dragons, but most likely doesn’t. His mother was in the Scorpion den, as her friend, a Mud/Sand hybrid, had nowhere else to go. However, when Topaz was twenty moons old, they learned of Possibility, and the three of them traveled there as quickly as they could. On the way, they were ambushed by a party of IceWings who killed his mother and her friend. Topaz was able to escape, and made it to Possibility. He was raised by a SandWing doctor, and Topaz began to hate himself for being a hybrid, because he thought that being a hybrid was what got his mother killed.
