Have you ever wondered if there are any faraway dragons in space, living amongst the ever-distant stars?
What their lives are like on a day-to-day basis, how similar or different they are from us?
Or maybe even if they wonder if we exist?

Quote 	"Imagination is endless, just like the universe."
Solar Eclipse, or Solar, has an appearance that makes them stand out from the crowd.
Solar's main color is a dark shade of gray, overlaid with lines of pale gold and ember-colored orange. Pale gray splotches dot their scales, especially around their snout, talons, tail, and around their wings most of all; the edge of their wings are practically nothing but varying sizes of previously mentioned gray spots.
Being a firescales, Solar has glowing white lines lining some of their scales, as well as some of the ember orange. Their horns are the same color as their mainscales, but fade into white at the ends. Their gray underbelly has hints of sparkling gold and black along it, and there is a slight hint of orange on their wings.
Solar has fierce gray-gold eyes that seem to glow sometimes; needless to say, the fierceness does not match their personality at all. Their claws are the same dark gray as most of their scales, and their wings are mostly dark gray, too (excluding the aforementioned light gray splotches splattered across the edges of their wings).
While having the exact same features and body build of a SkyWing, Solar's colors and patterns are more like that of a hybrid's, which is why it's easy to mistake them for one. Often, Solar wears a calm and innocent expression on their face, their eyes rounded in curiosity and deep in thought. They have a slender build, but still have rounded features.
personality
Solar, while friendly, isn't the type to go out searching for dragons to interact with. While they enjoy a good chat with a close friend now and then, they like to keep to themselves, claiming to have a very good reason: they're absolutely terrible at social interactions. They often trip over their words and thoughts in their head can easily find themselves accidentally spoken out loud, which can lead to some... problems.
Solar tries to be polite as much as they can, and is rather modest and humble. They are easily flattered, but they tend to think poorly of themself; as an extremely socially awkward dragon who's weird and quirky. Though they have received many comments that Solar is actually quite enjoyable and not as strange as they describe themselves, they still refuse to change their mind on it; a prime example of their stubbornness.
Even though Solar's constant rambling about how bad they are at almost everything may seem like Solar is just being extremely modest and humble, that's not entirely true. Solar isn't very confident about their skills and abilities and worries about making mistakes quite a lot; however they keep this side of themselves neatly tucked away in their mind.

abilities
Solar may not be good at social interactions, but they certainly make up for this with their strong fighting and combat abilities.
Just from the glow that comes from their scales, you can easily figure out that Solar is a firescales. Since Solar is not a hybrid, but simply has NightWing genes, these firescales are just as lethal as any normal orange-scaled firescales dragon. In addition, since both SkyWings and NightWings have firebreathing abilities, it seems obvious that Solar would have such a power- and indeed they do. Solar also has slightly enhanced night vision because they have NightWing genes, though they hypothesize that it is not because of their NightWing side, but because of their glowing scales, which light the way for Solar.
Solar should also not be underestimated in their fighting skills. Being a slender dragon, they are more swift and mobile than a heavy, lumbering dragon and they can easily dodge attacks. Their large SkyWing wings also allows for more speed in the air than the average dragon, and they have sharp claws.
They also have many other talents; Solar is creative and can come up with neat ideas to find their way out of any tricky situation. Of course, these ideas don't always make sense or seem sane, but they sometimes work regardless. In addition, they are very observant and careful, as well as cautious. 
weaknesses
Solar doesn't exactly try to appear as perfect, but they know their weaknesses (and how to find ways to avoid exploiting such weaknesses).
Despite having firescales, Solar still isn't invincible; they have no mind reading or futuresight (though one would expect this, as they aren't a hybrid). In addition, despite the firescales being lethal, they do not cover their entire body, exposing weak points such as their eyes, the inside of their mouth, etc. They also prevent Solar from being able to hold any knives, swords, or such, as they would instantly be incinerated by Solar's firescales.
Solar, while having lots of power, is not exactly good with reflexes or battle strategies, so they often end up panicking and/or messing up in fights. They're also rather clumsy, so they easily trip or misstep sometimes, which can often be a large blunder.
In addition, Solar can sometimes underestimate their skill a little too much, causing them to resist when being selected for any sort of representation, even if they're the obvious choice. They're also sometimes too curious, causing them to get themselves into unnecessary trouble.
relationships
stellarstar
As Solar is Stellarstar's colleague since they both work in the field of space and astrology (however, Stellar tends to focus on the more psychic and clairvoyant side of astrology like futuretelling, while Solar studies space and physics, as well as astral exploration). They trust each other and talk sometimes, and both have a good view of each other.
positive
darkmatter
Solar and Darkmatter have many things in common; they both like space, they're both socially awkward and prefer not to talk, they both are introverts who are quite modest, and so, so, so much more. They both get along very well, often happily chatting away about their interests together. In some ways, Darkmatter almost sees Solar like an adoptive sibling, and Solar thinks quite highly of Darkmatter, believing her to be very talented and gifted. 
Solar and Darkmatter are very good friends, and they will stay that way for the rest of time.
extremely positive
trivia
*bc of their gray mainscales, they have had to constantly tell others that they are a firescales (bc from far away they don't appear to have firescales)
*because of their general calm demeanor, they appear to handle stress rather well
**however, they do not handle it well at all; they are simply good at maintaining a calm expression despite their ✨inner turmoil✨
