APPEARANCE
It would be hard to be capable of seeing this dragonet, being cooped up in his workshop for the rest of his life. But, seeing past that, if one was to see this strange being known solely as Clink, you'd see a normal SandWing dragonet. Pale sandy yellow scales are pasted upon his body, sharp pointed scales are carved into diamonds. There's nothing unusual, the sandy yellows remain unchanged and cover most of his body like a blanket of color.
A gently curved snout and softly rounded ears with a zigzagging black pattern upon them. Large, round eyes like the moons themselves. Black as onyx with golden pupils, not startling but more of a living curiosity. Short silvery horns stick from behind his ears, gleaming in moonlight and lustrous in sunlight. Following between a large sail a strong yellow tinge, flowing down to his very tail barb.
Silvery white horns, short in length jut from the back of his head, rather lustrous and glossy. This is the same with his talons, small and short as well and quick nevertheless. An underbelly proceeds upon his front in a pale, creamy hue of sand white. In some lightings, this may even appear white, in others the opposite. This same creamy sand white crawls up the top of his head and upon the front of his short snout.
He has a small and narrow build, much like that of a cat and for his age, Clink is quite small. He carries on a slight theme of steampunk. Having said that, one would undoubtedly notice the goggles strapped to his forehead. Leather of fine browns and metal buckles, they fit well upon him. There's also a leather belt around his waist, taking a similar appearance to that of his goggles.
The wings aren't quite that showy, yet seemingly a perfect match to Clink's body. The membranes are of a sandy yellow, exactly like that of his sail coloration. Upon his short, narrowed snout is a blank expression, for he doesn't really seem to show that much on his face, yet in public, he usually wears a friendly, excited smile. The barb is anything but interesting, taking a shade lighter than his main scales, the tip curved slightly upward, this however, has never been put to use. The SandWing dragonet may surely appear strange to some, however as far as anyone is concerned, he's just a normal dragonet.
PERSONALITY
*literally has no personality, his only personality trait is that he's obsessed with clocks and how they work. can tell you all the little things you need to do in excruciating detail.
*also has an incredible internal clock and can and will tell you what time it is anywhere in the world.
*very intelligent, but also quite sheltered, knowing very little about the outside world. all he really knows is from a large, circular window in his office / workshop / living quarters.
*is very aloof, stoic, and cold. also rather quiet unless his hyperfixation is brought up. in that case, he won't stop talking. gets really excited when someone shows any kind of interest in clocks and often goes on long-winded speeches explaining the intricacies of clockmaking. by the time he's done, the dragon would've already left.
*doesn't really understand relationships and often takes things like jokes, compliments, or sarcasm seriously. often gets confused or offended by such things because they go over his head. has a hard time discerning if someone is joking or not and often needs that dragon to tell him if they're joking or not.
**also has trouble understanding how others are feeling just by looking at their facial expressions, tone of voice, or body language and often completely ignores it. this can sometimes lead to him accidently embarrassing or offending someone because he didn't understand how they were feeling.
*likes schedules and is very good at time management. doesn't like others distracting him while he's working... which is all the time.
*doesn't quite understand the weight of the situation he's been raised in and isn't bothered by the fact that he'll be trapped in a train station for the rest of his life. doesn't see any of the clear problems with the system he's forced to deal with.
*is almost entirely in control of his emotions and only looses it if something unexpected happens.
*has trouble making friends because literally no one shares his interests and because of how... socially illiterate he is. constantly fantasizes about who his apprentice will be, but never puts in the effort to find someone who'd be willing to take the job.
HISTORY
Cold streets of a loud and chaotic city, dragons of every kind rushing by one another, chatting happily or hanging their head. Refusing to make eye-contact with anyone. There in one of the darkest alleys, hatched a small sandy gold dragonet, abandoned, so it seemed. He wasn't tall or tough-looking. but more catlike and the most noticeable thing was his eyes, pure black with yellow pupils that almost seemed to glow. Yet it was highly unlikely for anyone in this grey city to notice him or his unique colored eyes. For they were too busy worrying over work or talking with their friends. 
ha, i'll be working on this soon. 
The current Timekeeper, loves his job, his parents abandoned him on the streets of a modern day city, still working out where that is,,, was taken into a train station and harbored as an apprentice of the old Timekeeper Veturvious, they loved each other like father and son, had a strong bond. They worked on making clocks for the dragons all over Pyrrhia and Pantala, they had a printed schedule on how they spent their time, Clink's mentor died when he was four from old age, he was now to take on the life-long job of the Timekeeper.
Started losing emotions after a few days, now it's like he only has six main emotions, sadness, anxiety, shock, enthusiasm / happiness, anger and affection (something that never showed up, now he's trying to stamp it out of existence because it gets in the way of his job). Now sells his clocks to others who come to the train station, it's kinda cool. Idea is inspired off a dream I had, so that's cool too. 
*never knew his parents, was left on the streets of the city to fend for himself
* wandered the streets for a few years (about three?) and came upon a handsome building,,, was a train station and since he was young, he thought trains were cool
*uh, was taking in by an elderly drago who's name was veturvious, since he didn't have a name,,, he came up with a name clink
*they,,, bonded, the elder taught him all about making clocks and the importance of time and math
*his boss found out that he got an apprentice and was happy to hear they were getting along quite swell
* soon, veturvious = the father clink never had
*got a somewhat strict schedule up and running and things were great, a new life opened up to the sandwing dragonet and they were going to make history together
*new adoptive father catches an illness and unfortunately perishes from it,,, this changes clink altogether to become who he is now
*<insert more stuff here>
RELATIONSHIPS
please roleplay beforehand
VETURVIOUS
The only one other than those IceWing dragonets who could really rock his world. Veturvious was his mentor, the former timekeeper and Clink's adoptive father, the only one who took him in after the world shunned him. He'd been the one who taught him everything he knows now, how to make clocks, how to be himself... let's stop there. Whilst an apprentice, Clink was upbeat, cringy and socially awkward despite being a full-blown extrovert. And who encouraged this? His mentor.
Veturvious was certainly a strange one, but was always stuffed full with knowledge, in which he thoroughly enjoyed teaching to his apprentice. The SandWing still looks back to him even after time took his life. Sometimes quoting him word for word to calm himself down when dealing with annoying customers. He was, perhaps the most important figure in Clink's life, although it might not seem like it, but everyday he thinks of him.
An amazing dragon who fell to the talons of time...
Very Positive
SPROCKET
Some point in time, they managed to meet with one another, chat for awhile before he returned to his original list of tasks. Sprocket is certainly an interesting one through his eyes. Even if they haven't contacted with one another for a long while, Clink enjoys the thought that perhaps he's not alone. That there are perhaps other dragons out there who love making things as much as he does. While their relationship is neutral, it is borderlining positive.
The SandWing dragonet hopes to meet up with Sprocket some other time when on break to chat a bit more with her. Although the chances of that happening soon dwindle in the lower percentages. He's fine with that, but he still is intrigued by how different she is from the rest of those he meets. Their relationship is probably far from friend status, since Clink isn't into that kind of stuff. Still, nevertheless, he wouldn't mind seeing more of that loud SandWing inventor.
Neutral
FROYO
a good friend of his that often visits the sandwing at the train station most days of the week with his twin sister, frito. originally meeting him to ask him questions about the behind the scenes clockworks, clink was more than happy to oblige. the two were odd fellows, but odd in the good way. how impressed the two were when seeing all the clocks clink had made that either he didn't want to sell or weren't ready to be sold.
froyo and his sister have wormed their way into his heart. they bring him enthusiasm whenever he sees them and they're such a joy to work with. though they don't buy anything, they still wander the shop and look at the clocks. froyo specifically is the one he hopes will one day have a passion for clockmaking that can match his own. though something else has stirred inside of clink, something that hasn't been stirred for a very long time. the more sensitive and romantic side of him.
Positive
TRIVIA
*design concept is inspired off of a character named clink, designed by deviantart user kinda-fubsy.
*whim thought: possibly have seawing genes due to gill-like scales on the sides of his neck (original concept)?
*hates touching slimy things and refuses to eat fish after a past trauma involving one. always hated touching slimy things though, it just now includes fish.
**will either cry, faint, or both if he's forced to eat any kind of fish or slimy food.
