notes
*believes themself to be a divine vessel for the weavers, powerful deities that effortlessly craft worlds.
*quite fatalistic and indifferent to freedom itself. believes everyone, including themself, to be a prisoner, puppets on strings held by higher beings. merely their playthings.
*wishes to free the world of malignance by putting to rest all the ghosts that have clung to this realm.

personality
*acts friendly towards those that they need to, though the "friendliness" they have is more of a neutrality based off of common decency of not being a total jerk.
*helps any who ask, never complains, they just do it. indifferent towards their line of work and doesn't seem bothered by the ethical or moral dilemmas behind it.
*reticent and unfeeling, not putting much thought into their own actions.
*enemy to all ghosts and believes all of them need to be put to rest, whether they want to or not. good, bad, or neutral, they don't care, all of them must go.
*very observant, but doesn't comment on much of anything.

abilities
*their icewing side has given them a resistance to the cold, but not to the same extent as a pureblood icewing.

* can sense unruly ghosts that have yet to be put to rest.

syipt
they / them || bi || detective
this character belongs to radar, please don't steal. thanks.
A young detective and their partner. A strange world of ghosts, remnants of the past in the form of spirits. They don't know how they came to this world. They can barely even remember the past. Occasionally fragments of their past might come to them, flashes of memories, blink once and you might miss it. Syipt resides in an odd town in the SkyWing's territory. Little does the young dragon know. They're past, that is still a thick fog in their head, will soon catch up to them. And when it does, they won't like the outcome.

client hugsby: 11 . 20 . 28
we went to client hugsby's house today. a nice place, it was. yet very vintage indeed. it was weird, as though the two of us were going back in time. just by opening that door.
he said that he'd been hearing whispering from the walls. his friends said that it was just the mice. but he insists it's a ghost. i'm not sure, but i want to check it out just in case. after all, i've always loved a good ghost hunt.
– couldn't hear any whispering nor the scattering claws of mice.– can't convince client that there is no ghost. i looked for all the signs. cold rooms, flickering lights, the whispering he was talking about. nothing. me and gaiety spent the whole night listening and watching. he might be paranoid.– used my powers, head hurt for hours. but no ghost.
appearance
Greyscale across the board, from the smoky greys of their main scales to the sleek, dark silver of their underbelly. Their scales are somewhat pointed, showing more of their IceWing heritage. Though they are softly rounded by NightWing genes as well. Although Syipt looks more like an IceWing physically, their color palette leans more towards blacks and greys. Frosty white spreads across their back, the tip of the spikes protruding from the back of their head. Additionally, it's also seen on the tip of their snout and ears, like permafrost or ice spreading across the lake that is their body. 
Thin as pine needles that form a little bearded cluster around their head and underneath their ears is a spiky ruff. These don't stray far from the coloration of their main scales. A sooty grey that blends in easily with the rest of their scales. Though the slight frosty white near the bases of them give them away slightly. Some of them nearing their ears do have this color on the tips of them as well. Sharp spikes go down their back, ranging in length, but all of them are the same color. The permafrost white coloration that follows these spikes down their back. 
Their build is stocky and well-built with a somewhat blocky snout. Without the curved, bat-like wings that spread from their shoulders, they're short. Well, somewhat anyway, for the wings are the only thing making them look at all big. Their tail in long, with a whip-thin end to it and it's tipped with short, pine needle spines. A bright, creative smile spreads across their snout and enthusiasm in their eyes. Syipt's wings are sharply curved and bat-like with membranes that are sooty brown-grey, like ash mixed with mud. 
Surrounding their navy blue eyes is a darker grey that their main scales, followed by two stripes on their cheeks. The second one longer than the first one. The horns protruding from the back of their head that were mentioned before are straight and rather short. But instead of going backwards, away from the head, they go upwards at an angle. Syipt's ears aren't far behind, being round with a pointy end. These are placed directly underneath their horns and, just like their horns, are poised upwards. 
client yarrow: 21 . 49 . 30
came to us late at night, weary and worn out. and through her gasping breaths we heard tale of a ghost haunting her house. though tired the two of us were, we couldn't turn down a ghost hunt.
she said she heard something coming from the hallways upstairs. when she went to investigate the noise, she say a pale outline of a figure. i don't quite understand that, since ghosts are by most means invisible to even the keenest eye.
– there was definitely something in client's house, one room was incredibly cold. so much so that ice could be seen in the cracks in the walls.– the lights could still be turned on and none of them were flickering. so we're safe there.– saw something terrifying when using my powers. i couldn't say for sure what it was, but it was something big.– my head didn't stop hurting for the rest of the time we were there. couldn't even see straight, but the house isn't safe. whatever that thing was, it was dangerous. offered client to stay at our house.
history
they first originated in an orphanage nestled in a village hidden just off the skywing kingdom. it was truly unknown how syipt exactly got here, for they were found off the streets, wandering alone before getting taken in. no parents claimed them as their own, more or less they'd assumed them an orphan, yet this orphanage, it wasn't the best, upon arrival they'd known no one would accept them here.
how correct they were,,, they'd come to be used to the aggression of these others and has therefore accepted the fact they weren't normal. throughout those years did they take a fascination towards solving crimes, mystery, while they couldn't get their talons around that many books, they managed to get into a new hobby.
years at the orphanage weren't to stand any longer, for they never liked the life there, how mistreated they felt and for that, they'd ran away, as far as they could carry themself which, indeed to mention wasn't very far yet far enough for a feeling of safety. syipt didn't exactly know where to go,,, or how to get back, but in knowing their doubt would be silenced soon, they kept going with new hopes. it was but yesterday did they encounter such a strange town, in the glow of sun's hot fingers crossing the sky, their eyes stared,,, grey stone, lights from lamps flickering off at the sight of the rising light.
it seemed that of a city's beginnings, they'd entered the outskirts to investigate further, their keen eyes surveying the areas of what looked to be a simple town. what else is there to learn about syipt? for all there was more in-depth story of what is currently happening as of now, they're still getting used to the whole ghost-busting, investigating occupation. for they'd begun to settle into this new town they've encountered and have since then,,, attempted to solve a minor haunting within the strange area.
*found,,,, a partner in crime who was much younger than them,,, but it worked out, they share the common interest in ghost-busting, but they were the exact opposite of them,,, in a way, they could never be taken seriously, i need to come up with a name for them
*was sent to an aristocrat due to levels of ghost hauntings,,, carefree music would always play as soon as the sun went down,,, a repeat until midnight. always seemed to abruptly stop at some point within the song,,, an entire band

abilities
*can withstand the cold fairly well, but can't bare sub-zero temperatures.
*sees ghosts. sorta. it's complicated. it's more that they see a static silhouettes of them. almost as though going into another world completely (which they are, the world of the dead). think of it as though watch characters on tv but the entire background is slate greys and white while the shapes of the characters are static. 
**this takes a lot of concentration and energy to do and when they come out of this, they get a headache and are exhausted.
*observant too, but that's a given. they might catch details that others might not see.
*writes notes all the time so they remember everything. their amnesia usually makes them forget important details. most of their cases involve them writing half the time and them actually doing anything the other half.

relationships
roleplay beforehand
gaiety
oh course, they enjoy the company of their partner in crime, he's just a bit immature though and that kind of throws syipt off a bit. they wish he could take their mission a bit more seriously, but he just doesn't. but when push comes to shove, they really like gaiety and how he can be so cheerful and optimistic no matter what. considers him family. the closest thing they have to a little brother.
Positive
ghostflower
It was a certain calling to them from within the forests of the Sky Kingdom. There did they meet this strange dragon, Ghostflower, of a tribe they were never sure was quite real. Certainly, Syipt considers them an interesting being and with their nagging curiosity, they desperately want to learn more about them. And of their visit with the tribeless dragon, they'd be happy to report that they're happy to talk with them.
While this relationship between the two in undoubtedly positive, they still are at a neutral opinion with one another. That is to say, Syipt wants to learn more about Ghostflower and their small cottage and most importantly, their flowers. From their first encounter with them, the hybrid would put out that this dragon is quite nice and really does hope to have future chats with them sometimes soon. 
Overall, they must say they're incredibly interesting and fairly enjoyable company, although they're still developing opinions on them. They'll most likely harvest something of an opinion up about them after another encounter with them. Having a nagging curiosity for learning more about them and with that, interest in their cottage, other than that, there is but nothing more of a thought that Syipt has on them. 
Positive / Neutral
bylistis
She has a problem with them and they want to know why. It mustn't be because they're a hybrid due to being a hybrid herself, perhaps it has something to do with their goal to purify the world. Syipt doesn't fully understand this dragoness, for she seems the exact opposite of themself, no wonder they can never get along. Yet they can never really comprehend why Bylistis doesn't believe in the supernatural which exists clear as day. Perhaps she just doesn't want to admit it or perhaps she's just scared of it.
Whatever the reason is for her hatred towards them, they still seem like they'll never get along. Ever. And the both of them have a long ways to go before they settle their differences. Perhaps it's a lifelong rivalry? Syipt finds her a curiosity, especially that of her background interests them the most. Their nagging curiosity wishes to know why she doesn't believe in the paranormal. Although they highly doubt she'd tell them anything about her history, it seems like something she holds onto personally.

personality
On a surface level, Syipt seems like an ordinary detective. And indeed, that can easily be seen in their somewhat serious and calculating behavior when on the job. One that doesn't get easily distracted from the task at hand.
*fairly serious about their tasks, doesn't get distracted too easily
*is,,, somewhat childish though, from being quite young, they can't help but sometimes make up insane ideas
** then again, is considerably imaginative too, coming up with those said ideas, yet it never seems to help in their cases
*with that, is also determined and is always there for a helping hand (talon), they love helping out
* has a love for music or simple tunes, pretty much all music is the same to them though
*loves,,,, mysteries, i mean that's the whole reason they're a detective anyway, will sometimes spend time reading detective books and follow in their footsteps
*has a keen eye, quite observant for their age, yet not to impressive levels
*likes supernatural beings, especially ghosts which adds to their ghost-busting hobby
* what's safety?
*too curious for their own good and should probably stop but doesn't
*doesn't feel like their actually real, more or less, they feel like someone from a book. but then they can break the fourth wall.

trivia
*the ability to see static silhouettes of ghosts was going to be given to a sandwing named penumbra, but that character was scrapped.
*credit to salty for the design.
*seems to be aware that there is someone out there that dictates everyone's lives through typing words. calls this being the puppetmaster and often ponders if they could ever meet them.
