Storm (X.dragonlynx.X)

Note: This is largely a work in progress. It will become more developed as the fanfiction, Distant Thunder progresses. (Speaking of which, go read it! :D)
Storm is a character who is the protagonist of Distant Thunder.
== Appearance ==
Storm has midnight blue scales with jagged, lightning-bolt-shaped light-up scales (similar to a SeaWing's in porportion and pattern but shaped slightly differently). She has dark ice-blue horns and spikes (although not as many as a full IceWing), as well as serrated claws and gills. Her tail ends at a whip-thin point. Her eyes are of darkest sapphire, the color of deep ocean. She has a lean, muscular build.

=== The StormWing Project ===
In the year 5019 A.S., six Pyrrhian dragon scientists from Possibility started the StormWing project. Their goal was to create a brand-new, all-powerful tribe of dragons by selectively breeding dragonets until certain traits became prominent. The project was to take place on Storm Island, a small undiscovered mountain island just south of Pyrrhia, which they named after their StormWing vision.
For 25 years they worked in secret on the island, developing technology that far surpassed the technology of that time. Through their experiments they became very rich, until their project became somewhat practical. They then traveled across Pyrrhia, searching for dragons to assist them with their project, although they only chose a select few and revealed very little about the goal of the experiment. Many dragons had doubts about the morality of the project. Most simply refused to have their DNA taken and used for an experiment that they had little to no information about. However, some were bribed with large amounts of gold. By 5051, enough samples had been gathered to create the first generation of StormWings.
The six scientists had taken DNA information primarily from IceWings, SeaWings, and SkyWings. Using this genetic material they created hybrid dragon eggs, which hatched into dragonets. They aimed to create dragons who combined all the best traits from all three tribes, but with three tribes and so many possible combinations, they had little success at first.
The StormWings lived in a small community under the mountain and that made up Storm Island. The first-generation dragons were to remain there for as long as the scientists needed them, and for the most part could mate with whomever they wanted. But the scientists could be cruel, and sometimes assigned mates as they saw fit for the progress of the experiment. If the dragons disobeyed, they were punished severely. The second- and third- generation dragonets remained with their parents and grew up on Storm Island.
The first so-called "true StormWing" was a fourth-generation hybrid who had dark gray-blue scales, serrated claws, large wings, gills, and fire. Born in 5085, the scientists proclaimed him to be "Prince Stormcloud of the StormWings" and treated him as a model for the "ideal StormWing". Seven years later, another dragonet was born, whom they named "Princess Cyclone". She had stone-gray scales with rippling silvery underscales, and was built similarly to Stormcloud, although she had frostbreath rather than fire and IceWing horns. She also had a very unique feature -- the same glowing scales every SeaWing uses to communicate underwater, although oddly and jaggedly shaped, a little like lightning bolts. The scientists liked these scales very much, and she, too, became an ideal for StormWings.
The scientists paired up Stormcloud with Cyclone, eager to produce more dragonets to expand the StormWing tribe. The storm prince had become very spoiled and arrogant growing up as "the perfect StormWing", and softhearted Cyclone did not love him in the least. However, she was forced to obey the scientists. One night shortly before her first egg was due to hatch, Cyclone overheard a couple of the scientists discussing the experiment and realized the true intention of the StormWing project: To take over Pyrrhia and Pantala with the aid of an all-powerful tribe!
Angry and afraid, Cyclone left the mountain and escaped the small island, carrying her egg. She was quickly followed, but she flew fast enough on her strong wings to reach the mainland ahead of the others. The quickly found a spot to hide the egg in the sands of the beach where she had landed, but only barely managed to do so before the others caught up. She was captured and taken back to the mountain, where she was chained up, stripped of her title, and forced to produce more dragonets for the experiment.
However, the scientists never did recover the lost egg ...

*** (another) SPOILER WARNING! This section contains details from the fanfiction, Distant Thunder. So go read it first and then come back here. Thanks! ***
Note: The details in this section match the current status of Storm in Distant Thunder, so they will be updated as I write more. These details may not match the previous section exactly, because it is relying on the currently published fanfiction rather than the (currently unwritten) central plot line. It does NOT contain spoilers from the unwritten rest of Distant Thunder, only the already published chapters. (If you see details that you didn't notice in the book, then they're probably just extra background details that don't matter much to the story.)
=== Frost ===
Frost is Storm's adoptive brother. They are roughly the same age and grew up together in the mountains of southern Pyrrhia with their parents. Growing up, Storm and Frost were very close. They often teased each other and had contests and challenges, which they were rather competitive about. However, they always stuck together and were loyal to each other. After Storm discovered that Frost wasn't her blood brother, she didn't know how to feel about him. She still loved him but felt much more distant after running away.
=== Anniu ===
Anniu is Storm's adoptive mother, who found her egg in the sand and kept it, refusing to let it freeze to death. She loved her daughter very much and raised her with care, alongside Frost, despite the fact that she wasn't blood family. She didn't want Storm to know the truth because she was afraid it would change their relationship. After Storm overheard her discussion with Sleet and realized she wasn't her real mother, Storm felt betrayed and didn't know how to feel towards her.
=== Sleet ===
Sleet is Storm' adoptive mother. After Anniu found her egg, he was a bit reluctant to take it in, but did it for Anniu, because he could tell she cared very much. He raised Storm alongside her brother Frost but was a bit more distant and less loving than Anniu, since Storm wasn't his real daughter. After Storm overheard his discussion with Anniu and realized he wasn't her real father, Storm felt betrayed and didn't know how to feel towards him.
