Whim

Whim
he / him • aro-ace • toymaker
obtained at kindred's egg adoption center
In a drab world of decaying cities and perilous seas, a huge steamship stands tall, a dark silhouette off the foggy shores. A true colossal wonder those further inland could only dream of while locked up inside their little apartments, hiding away from the world, from the dangers of the outside. While the oceans this ship travels are filled with eldritch horrors that come from the deepest and darkest of nightmares, it is a single passenger that staves them all away. The Hostess, an elegant dragoness with a porcelain, foxlike mask of eerie beauty covering twisted, contorted flesh that is said to kill anyone who gazes upon it.
While the beacon at the top, The Hostess's workers aren't to be ignored, each one having a role they devote their lives to upholding. Among them, in the darkness of the steamship is a blind toymaker, a strange, quiet figure who senses the world around him through long limbs and heightened hearing and smell. By his heels is a young dragonet, no older than eight years, who is The Toymaker's apprentice named Whim. Abandoned while still in the egg, The Hostess's workers found him on the rocky shores and decided to keep him as their own.

Description
Dark sea greens cover him from head to tail, rippling across his scales like the sea itself. Color-wise, his palette doesn't vary that much from the typical SeaWing. In fact, just a glance at him, you'd pass him off as just a SeaWing. No one too important, you'd continue on with your day never knowing him. If one is to see him, which is highly unlikely, he'd be called Whim.
Mainly because he has tendencies to do things on a whim, doing things first and thinking later. A closer inspection of this character and you'd notice some interesting features. Perhaps the faint highlights of the beginnings of royal patterns. Maybe the eyes that beam with self-importance and curiosity. Along with the dark sea green there is a darker shade of green.
Fading in and out, highlighting some of his scales here and there. It can mostly be seen around his cheeks, ears, neck, legs and tail. The fading of various shades of sea and forest greens. Caribbean green flows into his luminous stripes and patterns across his membranes. Mainly seen on his fin, sail and wings, curly and straight stripes. This is perhaps one of the most unique features he has.
Greenish blue eyes stud his sockets, somewhat glossy with tired shadows under them. Although Whim doesn't seem to have given his tired appearance much thought. The SeaWing's underbelly is smoothly plated and a shade of jade. Teal blues fill his curvy horns, this color also fills his talons. Dark shades of spring greens flood his sail, fin and wing membranes.
The dark forest greens are seen much better on Whim's gills, which to mention of pointy at the tips. His build is stocky and short, which is expected due to his young age. Large ears with caribbean green innards and overall, his build looks normal. Tail remains thick like normal. Whim's expressions usually vary from a spectrum of curiosity to pure emotionless.
Overall, this character isn't too out of the ordinary in regards to appearance, the normal greens and blues. It's nothing too incredible or interesting until you really bite down into it. There are probably plenty out there who think being on a ship making toys is interesting. You just need to find the right dragons to tell that to.
Behavior
* redoing this a little bit, oops.
* is a curious child who wants to learn more about the world, but doesn't know how to read. occasionally pesters his father, to which he gets few answers.
* as much as he loves the concept of exploring the world, whenever he goes to the top deck he feels so... vulnerable. only ever goes up when his father does, as the toymaker doesn't wish to leave him by his lonesome.
* because he is child, he's a little full of himself, but not to the point where it's narcissism. he just likes making his father proud by impressing him in any way that he can. 
----As normal as he might be physically, Whim's behavior is unique, unlike any other. Really the only words to describe him is odd and high in self-purpose. He is by all means intriguing and strange. Beaming with self-importance, not in a narcissistic kind of way, but in a way that makes him think where would they be without me? or guess I'm pretty important, eh? Which, in truth, is correct.
Like his name suggests, Whim has a tendency to do actions off of a whim, which often lead him into situations. Then again, he's done this so many times that's how he got his name. It has become his nature, so it seems. Along with this is a habit of fidgeting when he isn't doing anything. To fix this, he always carries a polished agate with him to fidget with. Also because he enjoys touching smooth surfaces.
What Whim likes the most from his job as an apprentice toymaker is that he gets to learn new things all the time. That's something he really likes doing, learning, learning, learning. Although the "new things" he learns are just new ways of stitching and crafting. But that is still learning nevertheless, so he's still happy. He enjoys the thrill of creating things with his own two talons. It always feels good in the end.
He never really thought of asking questions past questions about how to do something if he was stuck. Whim never bothered the Toymaker with questions about what they were doing on a boat. Nor did he ask the reason behind making toys till the day's end. But the dragonet could never really stop himself from thinking them, from pondering thoughts about the boat. Whim always assumed asking questions beyond his job were banned. So he never asked them.
In regards to socializing, Whim is okay at it, though the only one he's ever talked to is the Toymaker. And that is no exaggeration, he's literally the only living dragon Whim has ever chatted with. He's not completely socially awkward, in fact he's perhaps the least awkward (and only) dragonet there. The real thing that the SeaWing hates the most is not feeling or doing anything productive.
Productivity means everything in Whim's world and not doing anything of that kind of work often annoys him. His ego usually of being important usually makes him think otherwise. Yet it still happens sometimes. He loves his job, he loves feeling productive and useful. Breaking that would ruin him, make him feel agitated and have a bigger need to be productive. What a strange being, no?
Biography
was abandoned as an egg only to be found by someone and brought to an adoption center until they found someone to take care of him. said to possibly have royal blood in him, but it's unknown whether that is completely true or not. soon was adopted and raised by a blind toymaker. whim became intrigued by the toymaker's odd ways and the way he made toys without physically seeing them. usually the seawing dragonet might help the toymaker improve the toys if needed. although he claimed to be able to see what he was doing through visions in his head. whim didn't really believe him there, though.
but there are a lot of of mysteries not just the toymaker hides, but the entire ship, the dragons who run it, all the guests. this world is filled with things that don't add up, that don't make sense, that are pure mysteries to this character. although whim has learned to not question anything out of his job, even if his mind keeps swimming back to those questions of what everyone is hiding from him...
perhaps he'll never fully understand the strange ways of the toymaker nor will he fully understand the mysteries of the ship. that is a good thing though, because if he found out what they were doing... things would get a lot darker.

please roleplay beforehand
The Toymaker: 
Probably the best and only dragon in the world that he's met thus far. intriguing whim says and he's so interested in learning more about him. Being his apprentice in toy making, the SeaWing dragonet just helps him make toys, for what reason, Whim has no idea. Although it does seem as though the Toymaker is hiding something from him, something important. Something that could possibly explain why he's on a boat or why he never got to see anyone else. Or at best explain what on Pyrrhia is going on in the outside world.
Whim constantly ponders questions to ask the Toymaker, but a slight anxiety holds him back from asking anything. Perhaps it's just the fact that maybe the blind dragon just doesn't want to talk about it, some secrets are better kept as that, secret. Whim has probably asked him questions about the boat they were on and if anyone else was on it before when he was younger. The blind dragon's response? "You'll learn about that soon enough."

Misc.
- will probably have some inspiration from some sort of movie / game at some point to better develop this character, for right now, i have concepts.
- hoping to possibly add little nightmares and coraline vibes to this guy and the toymaker, idk though.
- may have some royal blood in him, due to faint royal patterns on wings and sail, but it is still has yet to be confirmed.
