Lithographer Chert

Lithographer Chert belongs to Chipper the Crow. You may not use hir.
== Description ==
Lithographer Chert is an adult CentiWing with dark grey colours and a stout physique, horns bent forwards. Hir scales are mainly deep slate grey with what appear to be scattered paler horizontal stripesTechnically, ze is actually mid-grey with large amounts of deep slate patterns. This form of abundism is quite frequent in hir family., particularly around hir face, tail, and limbs.
Hir face is quite average for a CentiWing, with a square shape to the snout, and hir horns (pale, occasionally painted darker) bend so the tips face forwards - large enough to be a formidable weapon in a fight, if ze didn't often sand the dangerous parts down and soften the edges. Ze is fond of both engraving the surface and decorating them with delightfully clinking, dangling hornrings. Hir ears, however (small and out-of-the-way as with most) are unpierced. Additionally, though not visible from the outside, ze became hard of hearing during hir second moult; ze does still retain some hearing (though not as much as many dragons assume), and continues to often use Centipese and Dragon, but has found learning Centi Sign Language to be useful.
Ze is highly fond of jewellery (both the aforementioned hornrings and other pieces), with a strong preference for items that are whole pieces (or segmented), rather than those that use cords or chains, having noticeably more torcs than pendants in hir collection. At the same time, ze appreciates pieces that include dangling gems or beads - many of hir movements are punctuated by a harmony of clinking. Hir style tends towards the more simplistic in shape, considering the metallic shades to be attractive enough, although in recent years ze has been increasingly seen wearing the more sinuous, ornate nature-influenced designs often associated with SkyWings. Hir apparel is otherwise mostly average.
== Personality ==
[quite cheery, though frequently melancholy; can often become quite sardonic in conversation; holds a great appreciation for the aesthetics of nature; art nouveau as a movement doesn't exist in the same way in this universe (especially in regards to its origins) but e would love that; is highly religious, and educated in matters of priesthood, but ended up never pursuing that profession;]
Lithographer Chert can be quite the positive dragon in outlook, while also frequently melancholic - at times, e could be described as 'warmly sad'. E has quite a clear, direct style of speech, and often gestures as e speaks. Es conversation often takes on a somewhat sardonic tone, though e manages to retain es professionalism. [WIP]
== Affiliations ==
[while connected to CentiWing culture, ze might be considered one of the less 'isolationist' ones; also, is in communication with Cassiterite of Erne and others of the Royal Natural Society of Erne, maybe doing some work for them (science prints and whatnot); pen pals with Ruby-tail (and thus aware of Cuckoo and Glasswing by reputation); close friends with Priest Copper; acquaintances with aviator argent but finds her grating;]

*Lithographer Chert has, in a way, been passively in development since the CentiWings were first added, but for a long time I had hir concept only in the back of my mind, never spoken of.
