Pyro (Snowfire Draws)

Pyro is a male Firescales SkyWing. He was badly injured and scarred as a young dragonet and since then, sought his revenge. He died killing Shifter by pushing him into lava, receiving grievous burn injuries that he later succumbed to.
== Appearance ==
Pyro is a male SkyWing with copper scales that glow. He has veins of gold in his wings and in between large scales on his body. His eyes are the color of hot blue flames and have an oval of lighter blue around the pupils. Pyro has torn ears and two scars on his eye from when he was attacked as a dragonet
== Personality ==
Pyro is calculating, cold and menacing. Some say even without his fire scales, he’d be intimidating. As a dragonet, he had redeemable qualities and a good heart, but after his brother was kidnapped and he was scarred, it changed him permanently. He is extremely manipulative of the younger members of his group, as he knows they’re the next generation and he wants them to continue his work in taking down the purist movement and the criminal organization, the Black Sand Syndicate. He saves most of his hatred towards Shifter, leader of the Black Sand Syndicate, as he caused all the trauma Pyro endured. Pyro believes that all dragons have a bad side to them and while partially correct on that, he takes the idea too far. Pyro however, is not entirely heartless. Most of the dragonets he takes in are orphans and he sympathizes with them. The only reason he doesn’t get too attached to them is out of his fear of losing them. Jaguar in particular, looked up to him. In the end, Pyro gave his life for his group and Jaguar, showing his care for the young ones.
== History ==
Pyro and his brother, Extinguish, were out walking one day when they were dragonets. A SandWing came out of the brush and attacked them, taking Extinguish with him. When Pyro tried to follow, the SandWing’s followers threw several rocks at him, trying to stop him. It worked and they escaped, leaving Pyro half dead, but now with a quest for vengeance. The experience left Pyro with torn ears and two scars on his left eye.
For the next sixteen years, Pyro continued his plot for revenge, gathering dragons who had lost their parents to the Black Sand Syndicate, a criminal organization that specialized in weapons smuggling, assassin rings and other illegal activities. These dragons all had a similar goal to him: find the syndicate and destroy it.
After a massive earthquake, one of Pyro’s subordinates, a LeafWing named Mahogany, brought Jaguar to him. Seeing potential in the hybrid, Pyro let him stay, but began to manipulate the dragonet. Overtime, Jaguar was following Pyro’s orders without question and the five year old dragonet already had blood on his claws at such a young age. However, Jaguar left Pyro’s group when he found his father dead, much to Pyro’s anger. He followed Jaguar and during the argument, struck the dragonet with a rock, as he couldn’t bring himself to burn Jaguar. This gave Jaguar two scars on his right eye, nearly identical to Pyro. Pyro insisted that all dragons had a side they hid well and how sooner or later, that side made its appearance and ruined everything. Jaguar refused to listen and snarled it was his choice to leave, Pyro no longer had any say.
Pyro reflected on his actions and while he believed what he said was right, he regretted hitting Jaguar with a rock and wanted to apologize. However, the Black Sand Syndicate attack the camp Jaguar was in. The plan: Kidnap all the dragonets for assassin training or practice. Pyro knew this was his chance to finally get his revenge and lead his group to attack the Black Sand Syndicate.
When they arrived, Jaguar noticed and recognized most of them, but ignored them to keep fighting his opponent. It was Shifter, leader of the Black Sand Syndicate. Jaguar wanted revenge on him personally, as Shifter had killed his father. Shifter pushed Jaguar away, being older and stronger and was going to stab Jaguar with his stinger. Pyro leapt in the way and burned the stinger off in retaliation. But Shifter wasn’t done. He hated when someone got the upper hand and pushed Pyro down, despite the obvious pain it was causing him. Because of the recent earthquakes, lava fissures were common and Shifter wanted to kill Pyro by burning him alive.
Pyro, knowing he would die either way, let himself fall back into the fissure. Shifter screamed in pain and tried to escape, but was baked alive. Pyro tried climbing out, but the thickness of the lava prevented him from flying or even running out. Eventually, he managed to crawl back up the fissure, but was badly burned, overheated and bleeding severely. Before death, he reunited with his brother and apologized to his group for being so awful. He succumbed to his injuries only a few minutes after.
== Relationships ==
=== Extinguish ===
Extinguish is Pyro’s younger brother. The two were close as dragonets and went everywhere together. However, Extinguish was kidnapped and for the next sixteen years, Pyro thought he was dead. It wasn’t until his death, that Pyro and Extinguish reunited. Pyro made his brother promise to protect the group he lead and Extinguish promised. Extinguish has scars from hugging his dying brother.
=== Mahogany ===
Mahogany is Pyro’s second in command. Pyro trusts her with his life and Mahogany is often his voice of reason. However, Pyro doesn’t always listen to Mahogany, often ignoring her advice. Still, she is the closest thing Pyro has to a friend.
=== Jaguar ===
Pyro manipulated and toyed with Jaguar’s emotions, turning him into a weapon. By the time Jaguar left Pyro, he had killed numerous dragons he now knew had been innocent and that fact shakes him up to this day. Pyro was hard on Jaguar and screamed at him when Jaguar left the group. Pyro also scarred Jaguar, but regretted what he did immensely. In the end, they never reconciled before Pyro died, leaving the leader with regret over the way he treated Jaguar. Pyro ended up sacrificing himself to save Jaguar, but Jaguar was not present while Pyro died.
=== His Group ===
Pyro is loyal to his group, but not attached to them in the slightest. His is critical of them, even when they do something right. He claims he is being cruel to be kind, but doesn’t always come off that way. Pyro sympathizes with most of his group, as they are orphans of the Black Sand Syndicate. He wanted to ensure they’d be taken care of after his death and entrusted Extinguish and Mahogany to take care of all of them.
=== Shifter ===
Shifter is the one dragon Pyro hates the most. He dreamt of killing him gruesomely and couldn’t wait to get that chance. In the end, Pyro got his wish, but at the cost of his life.
== Trivia ==
* Pyro is a synonym for fire, hence where Pyro’s name comes from.
* While not proven possible, lava could possibly kill a firescales, as it is not only 1200-1400+ degrees Fahrenheit, it is very viscous and thick, meaning Pyro would have struggled to free himself. Pyro also would’ve overheated, due to his internal fire reservoir.
