Cassiterite

CASSITERITE belongs to Chipper the Crow. My universal permissions apply here - do not use him without permission, no matter what.
A shimmer of glimmering red-orange scales up ahead, a pristine pair of wings folded always so carefully out of the way of the artefacts of nature they handle. A single drakelit lamp illuminates their work, the light twisting and flickering so prettily, casting deep, deep shadows of bones and rock, as they examine each label and label their examinations. That Bronze Bird is searching again, as they have near every day and night for what the fledgeling naturalists will describe as 'darn near eons' - but really it's been more like a few decades. This is the Lord Curator of the Royal Museum of Erne, the current president of the Royal Natural Society of Erne, and here is their work, and there is their ambition...
== Appearance ==
Cassiterite is a somewhat spindly, long-necked SkyWing with a dusky orange-red colouring, along with darker maroon patterns along his back, limbs, ears, and snout. His underbelly is a more vivid colour, but more vivid still is the patch of red at his throat and chest, a 'bleeding heart' pattern also seen in others of his family. His horns, spine, and beak are all a dark red-brown, with his horns being long and polished, curving around downwards. His facial streaks are prominent and a similar dark red to his patterns, going from his eyes to his beak. His eyes are a golden colour. Though his pupils are slit in shape, they tend to remain dilated the majority of the time - some might say he spends too much time searching through the archives in near-darkness.
Cassiterite, as is befitting a dragon of his status, makes great use of jewellery and other accessories, along with warm, often colourful but comfortable clothing. He does not wear glasses, finding his own vision to be enough, but owns a pair of sunglasses, and often finds them necessary when going outside.

*Originally, the name Cassiterite was shortened to just 'Cass', and was intended to be inconsistent in how it was lengthened, being written in various places as Cassiterite, Cassowary, Cassimere, Cassiopeia, or other forms. This character trait has been dropped - he is not Cass (and, in his canon, never has been), just Cassiterite.
**(relevant point: On the Link Between Avians and the True Dragons is no longer fully oc-canon - but if i get around to re-writing it, he is likely to be a main protagonist)
