Brightsting

Entry for Chipper The Crow's Quote Prompt OC Contest
"That thing... That thing's something undead, a weird beast, or a dragon who's very good at disguises and acting. It wouldn't stop rushing about when we least expected it, making the weirdest noises, and when we finally caught it in the light...It seemed shockingly well-fed for a 'ghost', but somehow fake, you know? It was as if I could just reach out...and it would crumble to powder in my claws...damn, I need to get out of this job at some point, the things we see will leave me with nightmares forever, I swear."
==Introduction==
Brightsting is a male SandWing-NightWing hybrid who uses mainly He/Him pronouns as well as Ae/Aer pronouns. He works a janitor at Starcatcher's Hospital in Sanctuary. He has encountered many paranormal things but can't quit aer job due to being poor. He exists in the Fennecverse AU.
==Appearance==
It is easy to tell that Brightsting is a SandWing-NightWing hybrid on first glance. The short hybrid has mainly dark golden brown scales with dark gray secondary scales. He has the snout of a NightWing, which fades into a lighter dark gray, and NightWing horns that are gray. His underbelly is a lighter and slightly brighter color the same hue as aer main scales. His wings are black and dotted with the same silver color that dots his golden SandWing sail. His tail barb is a golden color somewhat similar to the color of aer sail. His eyes are amber with black scleras.
==Personality==
Brightsting is a usually rude hybrid, only nice to those close to him. He seems constantly annoyed by dragons around aer. He has recently been paranoid due to his job experiences. He is sarcastic and usually purposely makes aer sarcasm as rude as possible.
==History==
===Pre-Hatching===
His parents met when Darkscales first moved to Possibility. Antelope was already living there and quickly became his friend. The two eventually started dating and soon got married. They had an egg, which hatched into Brightsting.
===Dragonethood ===
Darkscales got sick soon after Brightsting hatched. He was always nice to his son because he knew he would die soon. Darkscales died when Brightsting was 1 year old. He was raised by his mother for the rest of aer dragonethood.
=== Adulthood===
When he turned 10, he decided to move to Santuary. There he met a relative he didn't know ae had. This was his cousin, Sidewinder. He talked to her and became her friend. He had a pretty normal life until he found out that aer mother died when a build collapsed on her. He was sad for a while, but he soon moved on with his life. Ae soon became poor and needed money, so he soon started working as a janitor during the night shift at Starcatcher's Hospital.
===Recent===
When he first started at aer job he didn't believe the rumors of it being haunted. Then one day he encountered a strange sight. He encountered a mysterious dragon wearing a hood and they disappeared when someone else entered the room. He continued his job, growing to hate many of the workers there and encountering many different strange things. Many of them seemed fake, but in a way that was almost as creepy as if they were real. This has caused him to become very paranoid.
==Weapons and Abilities==
===Flight===
He can fly pretty well. He's not a very fast or agile but he is still good at flying.
=== Tail Barb ===
He has venom in aer tail barb that is only slightly weakened by his hybrid blood.
=== Firebreath ===
He has firebreath due to both of his tribes having it. His firebreath is as hot as NightWing firebreath.
==Relationships==
===Antelope - Positive===
Antelope is his mother and was very close to him. He was very sad when he heard that she died.
===Darkscales - Positive/Neutral===
Darkscales is aer father but he didn't know him well. Darkscales died when he was young but he remembers that aer father was nice,
===Sidewinder - Positive===
Sidewinder is his cousin and the dragon closest to him. They barely knew each other for their earlier lives, but they became close friends when Brightsting started working at Starcatcher's Hospital.
===His Boss - Negative===
He hates his boss and feels that she shouldn't be in control of a hospital.
=== Cypress - Positive/Neutral ===
He has barely met him since he works during the day and ae works at night. Since Brightsting only met him a few times, he barely has a relationship with him, but ae knows about his organization and respects him for it.
