Flicker is an icewing / sandwing dragonet that currently resides in Possibility with their parents. They are a student at Jade Mountain Academy and have a special interest towards travel. Flicker was born in the Ice kingdom, which they spent a total of one year in before moving to Possibility as their intertribal family was looked down upon, as well as the demand for safety during the Sandwing Succession war.
(canon complaint character. Do not steal his design or anything from this page. Flicker and their siblings all represent some aspects of me lol)

===❆ physical===
Fragile, slim and tender. Flicker appears to be shorter than his peers, being in no way near average for either of his tribe. Flicker's build reminds more of a sandwings, albeit being icewing dominant. Although scrawny, Flicker's height is mostly taken up by their limbs, which give him an illusion of a higher elevation.  
Unlike their siblings, Flicker did not inherit a full head of icewing spikes, only a few scattered along his jawline. However, their long tail ends elegantly in a troupe of spikes, an underdeveloped tail barb at its tip. Their impeccable greyish scales reflect snow from miles ahead, only covered by occasional splatches of lavender along their snout and eyebrows as well as golden freckled cheeks and underbelly. Their front and back left talons are covered in violet splatches, fading in a pointillistic manner towards their elbows. A similar maneuver takes place in their right talons, although this time with a golden color.
A mutated sail, which would normally stand uptight and is formed from skin-like material, makes its way along Flicker's spine and reminds itself of a horse mane consisting of a fluffy texture. Their horns, as well as their few inherited spikes and two snout horns are rich in melanin and appear as a luxuriant, dark purple color. Their blood is a mixture of red and blue, which gives their ear insides a lavender tint.
Unknown to its source, their eyes shine in a bright golden color which reflect against their opaque schleras. Their snout is rather thin, which gives their head a more icewing look. Their wing membranes are covered in a lighter purple color than their snout and left talons, which gives them a camouflage advantage when surrounded by snow. His wings can't be called neither small or big; they begin growth around their shoulders, trailing along their upper belly and ending at the start of their tail. Flicker inherited claws from his father, which once again gives them an advantage when it comes to being in snowy areas.
===❆ accessories===

˳༄꠶ P E R S O N A L I T Y
Flicker prefers a life free from conflict - by nature, they try to avoid drama of any sort unless it involves them. They can easily overthink, constantly worried that something might go wrong. Due to him constantly doubting if they make the right decisions, it is better to not put responsibility on him. Hitherto their inability to make decisions has often put difficulties in his path, which pressured Flicker to start travelling more during early adolescence, all alone, when their parents finally soothed their protectiveness. It was during this period that Flicker and his sister were allowed to start their studies at JDA.
Nevertheless to their nervousness, Flicker finds humor in mocking other dragons. He is cocky, dramatic, and prone to sarcasm, which he uses mostly to see their friends laugh. 
It's important for them that others are happy. They think about that a lot.
Apart from that, they are a friendly dragon that can be trusted with secrets. Sometimes, Flicker can completely burn out which causes him to grow irritable - they don't watch their words and spend days on end in their cave. They never had lots of friends, although after turning 5 through travel he met four dragons, one of them becoming their partner, Maple.
''He wonders the night through sneers and words snide
Spinning 'round and 'round his precious mind like dizzy, neon lights''
˳༄꠶ A B I L I T I E S
Flicker wouldn't call themself a powerful dragon, both physically and mentally. They inherited both tribal abilities, allthough severely weakened, which prevents fatal damage. Their frostbreath isn't concentrated enough to freeze a dragon to death, while their venom can only temporarily paralyze. However, Flicker possesses acrobatic, bat-like wings which allow them to be used as secondary limbs, helping them to climb steep and rough surfaces by attaching their wing-claws to the surface. 
This ability, however, comes with a disadvantage which prevents Flicker from being able to fly for a long time. The more they use their wings for climbing, the more scratches and rips they acquire, which ultimately damages their wing membrane.

''Can anybody find out any other way?
It's choking up his throat now''

˳༄꠶ H I S T O R YAs soon as the dragonet hatched, they knew that being a hybrid is looked down upon due to their isolated childhood. Their parents set within Possibility in the hopes of protecting their three dragonets and try to withstand bigotry to some degree, knowing that there are organizations on Phyrria that would do anything to annihilate hybrids.  Flicker was the family's second dragonet after Neutralis, followed by their gifted sister Photic. From early dragonethood, Flicker noticed his brother's odd behavior - always trying to hide himself from everything and anyone, constantly looking worn out and in agony. He couldn't quite connect the pieces, and any attempt to get his brother to open up led to some sort of affront. It was as if they were strangers living in the same cave, until one day Neutralis dissapeared.
this is currently a WIP.

˳༄꠶ R E L A T I O N S H I P S
❆ QUARTZ Quartz is Flicker's father. Overall, they have a good relationship but they're not that close. Flicker wishes his dad would come out of his shell and start talking to him more. Flicker truly loves his father and really appreciates the little time they spend together, which often consists of visiting new places which began from Flicker's dragonhood. This inspired Flicker to show interest in Geography. 
❆ SAHARA
Sahara is Flicker's mother. Flicker is much closer to their mother than their father and they spend lots of time together. Both parents were scared about sending their children to school, but Sahara took her time to learn more about JDA's location in case something goes wrong. Sahara taught Flicker how to crotchet and has been a big influence to his crafting talent. 
❆ PHOTIC
Photic is Flicker's 6 yo (HY) little sister. Flicker always thought she is really special, both intellectually and physically. Photic reminds Flicker of griffins, as her upper body is almost entirely icewing while her lower is entirely sandwing. She always finds new ways to surprise Flicker with facts she picks up along the way, although sometimes Flicker can't understand half of what she's saying. They both deeply care about each other and Flicker tends to be protective of her, especially in JDA.
❆ NEUTRALIS
Neutralis is Flicker's 19 (HY) older brother. Neutralis is probably the most complicated dragon Flicker knew before they run away while Flicker was 7 years old (HY). They often worry about him, wondering what they're up to, especially after learning why Neutralises behavior was so odd. As Flicker grew up, they finally realized that Neutralises weird behavior arose due to their extreme self hatred. Neutralis suffered from body dysmorphia and was extremely ashamed of his sandwing side, influence to this unknown. 
❆ MAPLE
Maple is Flicker's current girlfriend. They met after the events of book 15 when some Pantalan dragons chose to reside in Phyrria.
❆ SOLARISE
Flicker's former best friend as they grew apart, which he met in Possibility. They're still friends. Solaris is a sand/sky hybrid that has a crush on Flicker, unfortunately never requited.
❆ TIME-SWIMMER
Flicker's friend. is a night/sea hybrid.

❆ STARCROSS
Flicker finds fae an incredible dragon and admires them for their talents in art. They have similar hobbies such as travelling and enjoy discussing mutually interesting topics as well as create inside jokes. Flicker would love to get to know sol better and learn to draw from them.
❆ ASTRAL
Astral's enthusiasm and emotionality appeases Flicker and he sees her as a real and genuine dragon. They like spending time together, listening to music and sharing their love for astronomy. They also bond over their fear for nightwings and find company in each other's silence.
