Vulcan

Voice Claim: Zuko
== Appearance ==
=== Genetics ===
Vulcan is tall and well-built, despite having the slenderness of all NightWings raised on the island. He has a strong jaw and fierce eyes, which are a bright orange colour.
He has large, strong talons and sharp claws.
His scales are jet-black, but have a slight reddish glow to them between the cracks of the scales. The star scales under his wings have a slight orange-ish, reddish glow to them.
=== Scars ===
Vulcan has a long scar across his back, and one snaking from his jaw down his neck. He has some scarring around his talons as well, from many scrapes and cuts.
=== Accessories ===
Vulcan wears an earring with a red gem dangling from it, and a copper ring on his left talon.
== Personality ==
He is very reserved, very rarely talking in most situations. When he does speak, it is in a very gruff tone or manner that causes people to be afraid of or intimidated by him. He can very quickly go from his usual quiet and grumpy self to exploding in anger. His personality is 'volcanic'. 
=== Positive traits ===
If he sets his mind to a task, he will achieve it at all costs
He strives to protect those more vulnerable than himself
=== Negative traits ===
Being insensitive and aggressive
== Powers and Skills ==
=== Tribal abilities ===
Like most NightWings who hatched on the NightWing island, Vulcan does not possess any degree of foresight or mindreading.
Vulcan can breathe fire and blend into shadows. His fire is white and hotter than average.
He has distant firescales SkyWing ancestry, causing him to have a slight warmth to his scales, like that of a SandWing.
=== Fighting skills ===
He is decent at talon-to-talon combat, because he often defended his younger siblings from older dragons who might bully or harass them. He also gets in fights very easily in general, because of his fiery temperament (aka he has had lots of practice).
He has never had to fight with real stakes, though, so he would not fare as well if his life is on the line.
=== Singing ===
Vulcan doesn't sing often, but he is very good at it. He will sometimes sing his younger siblings to sleep.

=== Pre-series ===
(5,005-5,010 AS//0-4 DY//1-15 HY)
Vulcan was hatched as the fourth dragonet of Wrathful and Bloodspiller. Wrathful was an emotionally neglectful mother, only caring for the minimum of her dragonets' physical needs. Any attentiveness would include berating or punishment, which Wrathful thought would 'toughen them up' for the 'real world'. This, instead, made Vulcan a very emotionally closed off dragonet who hid his pain instead of dealing with it, especially when his older siblings, Ghostseer, Cruelty, and Painbringer, tended to emulate their mother's behaviours.
His father, Bloodspiller, was much kinder than Wrathful and tended to redirect her angry tirades away from the dragonets. When he died of an asthma attack in his sleep in 5,008 AS (shortly before Palemoon's arrival), it meant that Vulcan now had to be the sole protector of his new younger siblings.
When Palemoon was adopted in 5,008 AS, and Justice was hatched in 5,009 AS, Vulcan took on the duty of sheltering his younger siblings. He would defend them from the bullying of the eldest, and tried his best to deflect Wrathful's cruelty. Despite this, he was hard on his siblings as well, because he unintentionally ingrained some of his mother's 'teachings'. He wasn't purposefully mean to them, unlike his siblings and mother, but he tended to be harsh on them so that they would learn to stand up for themselves as well, though Palemoon and Justice remained much softer than Vulcan. Vulcan had always put expectations on Palemoon to join him in being more responsible and tough once he had grown a bit older, but Vulcan was disappointed in Palemoon's attempts causing him to be aggravated towards him.
=== A Pale Moon Rises ===
(5,011 AS//5 DY//16 HY)
Vulcan is sent to Trueheart by Palemoon to be tended to after he suffered injuries from his abusive mother, Wrathful. He then discovers Venomspitter, the RainWing kept secret on the NightWing island. He vows to make sure that Justice is brought with them during their planned escape in a few months time.
Venomspitter and Justice successfully escape, but Palemoon ends left behind. Trueheart brings himself to blame in front of the NightWing court, and ends up in prison. Vulcan starts walking with Palemoon to school for the first time, promising to try to be a better brother to him.
When the volcano erupts, Vulcan helps Palemoon rescue Trueheart, and leave the island, swearing loyalty to Queen Glory.
Venomspitter (now Violet), Palemoon, Trueheart, Justice, and Vulcan are all reunited in the rainforest, where they begin to build new lives for themselves.
=== Blood Ties ===
(5,012 AS//6 DY//17 HY)
Vulcan is seen by Rose on the NightWing island, when she goes there to see what is left of the place. He was standing in front of the statuesque remains of his mother, Wrathful, in order to confirm her death and in an attempt to bring himself some sort of peace.
He is seen again at Jade Mountain Academy, being a clawmate of Caiman along with Puffin the IceWing.

== Family Tree ==
== Relationships ==
=== Wrathful, Ghostseer, Painbringer, Cruelty ===
Vulcan has a negative relationship with his mother and older sisters. He tended to stand up for himself in front of his older sisters but not in front of his mother. He greatly fears Wrathful. When she was around him he would tend to disassociate from his body in order to deal with the pain and fear.
=== Palemoon ===
Vulcan tended to be overly hard on Palemoon, but nowadays he tries to be a better brother to him. Despite this they are still not particularly close, and live separately in the NightWing village.
=== Violet/Venomspitter ===
Vulcan was initially wary of Venomspitter, and still is as he doesn't quite trust those he doesn't know well, but he has gained some respect for her after she saved his younger sister, Justice, from an abusive household by bringing her to the rainforest.
=== Rose ===
Vulcan doesn't know Rose particularly well, and has snapped at him on occasion, but he considers him a good dragon and gained new reverence for him after he helped save Jade Mountain Academy from Mosquito.
=== Trueheart ===
Vulcan respects Trueheart, and believes him to be a kind and virtuous dragon, worthy of his namesake.
=== Justice ===
Vulcan is highly protective over his younger sister, Justice, and tries his best to look out for her.
=== Queen Glory ===
Vulcan has not had many interactions with Queen Glory, but he believes she is a good queen. He dislikes the NightWings' cruelty, and the RainWings' cowardice, and believes that Glory will be able to bring about a balance to both tribes during her reign.
=== Mastermind ===
Vulcan had not had many interactions with Mastermind, but thinks very ill of him due to his cruelty and thoughtlessness towards his RainWing prisoners.
=== Inferno ===
Vulcan had never met his great aunt, but he had heard legends of a firescaled assassin, though no one knew if these whisperings were true. He had no idea if she was real, or that they were related.
