"It's not my fault you've been stolen from me- maybe you're just weak."

"My tail has slashed throats better than yours."
Ray is muscular, with a strong, thin frame, with a curling tail linking to a dark black tail barb. He looks thoroughly underfed and skinny, but his features are brightening a little since he has arrived at Possibility. His curved horns are white-yellow, while his snout is freckled, tanned and sandy yellow. Ray’s claws are white-gold, his tail barb black. His tail is shaking and dark yellow, fading into lighter colours. Ray’s mainscales are mainly gold-ish with tints of yellow and white. His overscales are brown-yellow.

"Maybe I'm swift, but I just can't change. I am me, and that's that."
Ray is like a book. He often appears as deceitful, unkind, absentminded, egotistical and outcasted yet socialist, but inside, he’s insecure, passive and worried. He’s scared about what General Heatwave would think; would Liza would say if he revealed his love for swimming. Ray’s self-conscious and just worried about others’ reactions to his life. He fears rejection and is very slow at replying. He is grounded and realistic, yet still a dreamer.
Ray will rather ponder his life than read or fight. He’s peaceful, yes, but has the ‘fought a dragonbite viper’ appearance and this is what discourages dragons to approach him, which leads to absolute delight when he finds someone similar to him. Ray is dark-humoured, slightly shy and he is an ambivert. Ray is stoic. He doesn’t trust that others will realise his hardships, and doesn’t realise he is the only dragon suffering. Ray has tunnel vision, preferring to only focus on one thing at a time.
H I S T O R Y
"I was left to find my own living."
Ray was born in an alley in Scorpion Den, close to the assassin Cobra’s house. He was hatched from a tawny yellow egg, rather larger than others of his age. He was born to Flickering, his mother, and a father, who worked for the army under General Heatwave’s command. Ray’s father was barely home, and so Ray never remembered anything about his father, except that he was merciless and unforgiving: the perfect fit for an army soldier.
Flickering, Ray’s mother, was crueler. She dismissed Ray as a mildly irritating fly. Ray worked harder than any other in his age group, to prove to his mother that he was the best. Always one-upped by his three years older sister, Lizard, Ray was often lonely and usually abandoned. It was not until Lizard, absently, came home to an empty house. Ray was hunting in high hopes of finding dinner for his beloved family.
That was when Lizard saw her little brother’s drawings.
They weren’t..the best, so to say. Ray didn’t have the most artistic or delicate talons, but he had tried. The drawings weren’t his hobby, they only showed his desires.
Pictures, crudely made, of Ray himself swimming. Watching the stars and the sky, with his mother and Lizard, his sister. On each small drawing, he’d signed ‘RLF,’ and this broke Lizard’s heart to see that her naive little brother’s signature was the family initials. Lizard knew that Flickering never liked them well. She knew that Father went out to war purposely to leave the house to escape the icy, thick tension. 
When Ray came home, he saw Lizard, collapsed, crying, sobbing, bawling her heart out in regret, trust, friendship, love, pity, and much more. 
Ray was bright and logical. He saw his sister clutching his own drawings to her chest, and understood. Lizard vowed to protect him, to notice him, to never leave him to be so lonely, so trapped in his own mind.
From then on, Ray never drew again; his arts’ purpose was fulfilled.
A B I L I T I E S & F I G H T I N G T A C T I C S
"My venom has destroyed others better than you."
Ray is a generally strong SandWing, with swift movements and training. He usually carries blades in subtle spots and poisons in pouches. Ray’s deceitful personality helps his trickeries. 
His barbed tail, like other Sand dragons, is one of his most important weapons. He uses it often in battle. When unused, he still arches it up around unfamiliar dragons, and curls it up safely when around close friends and family. 
Ray has his teeth, claws, horns, talons, tail and wings to help his chance of winning in a fight, not to mention fire. When using his claws, talons, horns and teeth he targets the underbelly or the weak spots in the tail. When using his strong tail, he sweeps it along to attempt knocking the enemy down, or at least tripping them. In battle, he blasts out short bursts of fire and steam, often burning the opponent lightly, giving them a first degree or second degree burn. Once Ray has tired out his opponent, he will use a long and hot blast of fire. 
When confronted by an older, larger or stronger enemy, Ray talks it out. He knows he can’t fight it out, so therefore will bribe, threaten, blackmail or more to get himself to safety.

Note: I would like to RP with your OC before inserting it here! Thanks! Juniper is not my OC, it is Cockatiel’s. 
Lizard
“Come on, you big sap. I’ll always be there for you, no matter what.”
Positive/Neutral
Ray is very close to Liza. When he’d hatched, Lizard was there, not his now deceased parents. After their parents had passed away, Lizard and Ray became outlaws. Yes, they did have arguments, and Lizard did threaten to leave without him to scavenge their homeland, but he refused to let that happen. Lizard and Ray are best friends and extremely affectionate towards each other.
Juniper 
Jungle Academy (hosted by Zera)
"You think you can defeat me? Think again!"
Positive/Neutral 
Juniper is a female LeafWing/IceWing hybrid who is strong towards her beliefs. At first, the two met entirely accidentally, and Ray struck up a conversation outside the healing hut. Juniper felt that he understood her and the next day, the two snuck out of class. They end up heading towards the library. Overall, Ray likes Juniper, and feels she is like him.
General Heatwave
“Oh, he’s hatched? Congratulations, Flickering!”
Neutral/Neutral
General Heatwave is a kind dragon to Ray in the Scorpion Den. He is an highly regarded officer in the SandWing army and is dismayed to find out that Ray has taken on the thieves’ paths. He makes excuses for this particular SandWing when, on rare occasions, Ray is caught. He is one of the few dragons that Ray is afraid of disappointing or losing.
T R I V A
Ray was based off Qibli, being a criminal, people-pleaser etc., but I later changed him.
Ray was one of my first characters!
Ray’s hatching day was April 13th, in human time. 
I thought of Ray’s birthday BEFORE searching around the star signs/horoscopes! It turns out that Ray’s an Aries, which matches him perfectly: bold, energetic, confident and a good leader- sometimes opinionated and impatient.
