Shred

==Appearance==
Shred, truely, is a sight to behold. A young male SandWing, scrawny and underfed- yet scowling, snarling, threateningly feral in appearance. He is by no means a handsome young drake, his snout wasn't anything special even before the scarring. And the scarring, indeed, is very extensive. His left eye was slashed over, his tail was clawed as well, and even his neck is marred with three long clean scars. His left foreleg is disfigured with a venom scar, both his ears are ripped, and his wings are tattered around the edges- all this before the age of ten years.
His scales are a dull reddish color, accented by darker wings with cloudlike patterning, as well as dark freckles on his snout, shoulders and thighs. His tail fades into a dark red-brown, the same color as his horns and tail barb. His frill is pale, striped with auburn, and his underbelly is this same color. His snout fades into near-white.

==History==
*Born in the Scorpion Den
*Was originally named Redsand
*Was generally neglected by his parents
*Got in with a 'bad' crowd when he was little
*Literally got in a gang fight when he was like 2
**Got torn up cuz he was 2
*Was abandoned by his gang, renamed himself Shred
*Kind of wandered around for a while, rarely going home, absorbing information about the Den
**After some times he just never went home again, hardly even had any friends except for his childhood buddies Abrojo and Ratsnake, who eventually ran away to live on the street with Shred
*Ran into Teeth sleeping in a ditch, was like, 'yeah this guy looks cool'
*Met Karira and Catclaw on accident when they were looking for Bone China
*Found China for them, using his knowledge of Scorpion Den hierarchy obtained during his lost period
*The six of them name themselved the Pride. Karira was unofficially in charge, much to Shred's resentment
*They were found by Xanthic while plotting to rob a jewelry stand
**Xanthic is a sneaky little thing. Her plan works
*Xan is accepted into the group. Shred takes a liking to her, and the feeling is returned
**Shred and Xanthic are now dating
*The seven of them fool around (rob and assault dragons like right proper sadistic gang members) for a while, but Shred was discontent with his lack of power in the Pride
**Teeth is also discontent, but everyone else seems fine with the situation
*The two of them go off on their own more and more frequently
*During one of these trips, they meet the twins, Yuma Myotis and Vara Dulce
**Yuma and Vara are also murderous power-hungry young dragons, just like the two young drakes
*Shred and Teeth put their heads together with the twins and come up with a plan, but first they need an assassin-for-hire
*They come across an aspiring young murderer- albiet slightly loopy- named Saw-scale
*So this young drakina is totally the right dragon for the job
**They pay her to kill Karira, and she's totally up for it
*Shred sees her as a tool to get his own way, but the other three- especially Teeth- see her as a friend
*She tries, and fails, to kill Karira, because it turns out Ratsnake was suspicious of Shred and Teeth sneaking around, and was watching Karira's back for her
*Shred and the bhys, who were waiting nearby, hear Saw shriek and run out
*Gang fight time!
*Catclaw loses it and tries to kill Saw, but Teeth hammers her head into the floor and Cat almost dies
*Shred breaks up with Xan for obvious reasons. She is devastated but he doesn't really care
*Shred, Teeth, Yuma, Vara and Saw form a rival gang called the Cackle, in which he is the leader
*After Rat disappears, the Cackle start plotting to ambush the Pride again
*Shred follows Vara on one of her midnight strolls and finds her with Abrojo
*He doesn't confront them but he decides to put Vara's loyalty to the test by asking her to poison Cat and Karira's food. She agrees
*But when they go to do it, Rat comes back, and his freaky prophetess half-sister named Bastet is there too
**So it turns out Bast saw the ambush in a prophetic vision
*Rat is fresh from killing his other half-sister, Sekhmet, and he is now dating Xanthic, and isn't taking crap from any stupid gang of Shred's
*Rat and Bast almost murder Vara- who was in the process of poisoning the food- by slitting her belly open and making Yuma watch
*They get away, though, and Vara has to transfer some of her medical knowledge to Yuma before she dies from her wounds
**Shred just sort of watched this whole thing happen without helping, since he knew about Vara and Abrojo's secret relationship
*The Cackle isn't really good with Shred's uncaringness, and they sort of unanimously nominate Yuma as their new leader, even after Shred exposes Vara and Abrojo
*Shred is bitter, but he's matured now, and he doesn't mind not being in charge as much as he would have in the past
*Yuma now leads the Cackle with Shred as a trusted second-in-command
