huxley has quite a unique appearance. peach-tan scales cover his body from ear to tail, mottled only by brown-greys, white, and blues. these colors flow down in wavy streaks, like sand art. dusty brown is vaguely seen going across the sandwing's back, with it being more noticeable on his head. huxley's sail is a dark ash brown, with his horns being even darker.
his underbelly is the lightest part of his body, being a sandy white with faint swirls of blue appearing every now and then. another faint swirl of blue is also seen crawling underneath the sandwing's eyes. his eyes themselves are a light teal green-blue and are wide with curiosity and awe.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
*enthusiastic, friendly, and very passionate about humans and all the things they've created. knowledgeable and caring.
*always thinks about visiting the ruins of human cities. collects "human artifacts" and gets really upset when someone messes with them.
*uses a fork when eating instead of his talons like a normal dragon. mainly because of how obsessed he is with humans.
*likes antiques and is fascinated with the past. gets really sad when he has to sell something for the pawn shop he and his wife owns.
* lets out his passion for human history through being a museum curator. is currently working on a human history section for the diamond spray natural history museum.
*has some interest in the history and mythology behind cryptids only because of his brother, jala, is a cryptozoologist.
*is more old-fashioned than most. enjoys reading the newspaper and using older technology.
*rather absent-minded, imaginative, and easygoing.
*uses history facts as jokes and analogies. gets sheepish whenever someone doesn't get it or needs it to be explained to them.
A B I L I T I E S
* can breathe fire, survive for long periods of time with food or water, and has heat resistance. also a venomous tail barb.
*has a vast knowledge on human history, being able to tell you what they might've been like and what their inventions may have been used for.
H I S T O R Y
 
*used to live in a small house in a prairie on the right side of the claws in the clouds mountain range near the rainforest territories. the location was rather rural, so he rarely interacted with anyone who wasn't apart of his family.
*was particularly close with his grandfather, cholla, who sporadically visited the family, bringing with him small artifacts left behind by a species he called "the architects" from the excavation sites he worked at.
*though cholla eventually retired and came to live with huxley's family. despite that, he still went out with huxley and, on some occasions huxley's brother, dassie, on "exploration trips."
*while his grandfather was one of the main things to spark the sandwing's fascination in human history, it was also the discovery of a field full of "metal wheel boxes" near his house when he was 7 that really jumpstarted his curiosity.

his wife. met at a concert, co-owns the antique store they live in. while she doesn't hold the same level of fascination towards humans and their creations, she'll still listen to him ramble on and on about it. doesn't know the exact nature of her work, but it makes her happy, so he supports her fully. also the scented candles she buys make the house smell amazing.
is always there to comfort and encourage her when she gets... disheartened and begins to experience episodes of depression and general discontentment with her work. wishes she wasn't so hard on herself and tries his best to just make sure she doesn't completely fall into despair. likes reading her work, finding it to be whimsical and open to interpretation.
also adores hearing lily's interpretations of her own dreams and just learning about how... strange and vivid they are. is mostly just impressed she's able to vividly recall every single one, something he wishes he himself was capable of doing.

he was a good man, who introduced huxley to the world of humans. also gave him a few human trinkets that the sandwing has kept to this day. always found his line of work as an archeologist to be awe-inspiring, hopes to follow in his footsteps one day. misses him and wishes to continue his legacy to understand the intelligent life that lived before dragons.
when huxley was younger, he used to go with his grandfather on small explorations not so far from where they lived and study the surrounding artifacts left behind by "the architects" (what his grandfather called humans).

isn't as close with him as he used to be. they both share a common interest in human stuff, mostly their creations. finds his poetic way of speaking interesting and loves how passionate he gets when talking about humans. the two occasionally discus such topics when dassie visits him, it's quite enjoyable.

finds his line of work to be... interesting, to say the least. doesn't understand jala's love for spicy food.
