		to be the perfect angel, some sin must be done
		
	
	
	
		
		appearance
		
		
		a frenzied, constantly flustered looking sandwing hybrid with deep red skywing scales scattered across their face, resembling freckles. the dark red slowly overtakes their body until it is the only color that can be seen, fading to brighter red along their tail. pink speckles cover their wing membranes, and the tips of their horns go from a normal, light sandwing brown to a desaturated red.
		
		a slightly maniacal light fills their sharp red eyes whenever a subject they are passionate about comes up. timeless wears a necklace of thick silver chains, with dark rubies embedded every few links. the rest of their body is decorated with other bits and pieces of jewelry, especially their talons. every claw has at least one, if not more, rings- heavy metal things covered with intricate designs and, of course, rubies of all shades.
		
		despite being a hybrid, timeless' body is shaped exactly like a normal sandwing. the only difference that one might spot is curvy horns and slightly longer wings, though they lack the proper width, meaning flight is actually a little harder for timeless than a normal sandwing. they do not have spines along their back, instead sporting the sandwing sail in a soft orange color, and timeless' tail curls up into a barb. unlike a normal sandwing, the barb lacks strong poison and is not lethal. however, due to the sharp point of the barb, it still hurts.
		
		their paws are a soft white color, and are decorated with more scarlet freckles. unfortunately, their would-be perfect talons are stained with ink, a constant reminder of what they've done. timeless' body also sports wine-red diamonds in a long pattern, giving them an elegant air.
		
	
		
						
		stop, now lets begin; youre in too deep to go back again
		
	
	
		
		personality
		
		
		
		timeless is an extremely jumpy individual, constantly checking shadows and nearly having a panic attack at every loud noise. they are the type of dragon to double, triple, and quadruple check to make sure their doors are locked at night. it takes ridiculous amounts of time and patience to get through their paranoid layer and convince them that no, you are not their worst enemy and no, you are not going to stab them in their sleep.
		
		the only people that timeless feels comfortable around aren't real. the voices within their head and out of their head, who they dubbed 'ghosties', whisper fairly concerning things into their ear, especially weirdly violent scenarios. these usually help timeless fall asleep at night, and the most commonly talking ghosties have names: one, four, and fourteen.
		
		if you do a favor for timeless, it will not be returned. instead, whenever a dragon calls for a repayment, they view it as a trap and proceed to stay inside their fortress-like house for the next few days. that being said, they will also not provide any favors in the first place. they are extremely not empathetic, and hoards everything they get for themself. friends were made up by the clouds, if you ask timeless, and the last time they did something kind on purpose, the sun rose in the west.
		
		the sandwing hybrid loves writing, especially prophecies that the ghosties tell them. these have yet to ever come true, but that doesn't stop them from scribbling thousands of words onto paper every second. they say what is on their mind, and nothing will stop them. timeless hates secretive dragons, refusing to talk to people after they say anything along the lines of 'i have a secret'. not even they know why they hate secrets, but here we are, and there they are. hundreds of half-finished stories litter their desk, and blotches of red and black ink stain their entire room.
		
	
		
						
		fear, its all around, but it weighs too much to slow you down
		
	
	
	
		
		history
		
		
		as a dragonet, timeless was fascinated with the concept of life. one could easily describe them as morbid, conducting experiments involving the deaths of many small animals. the worst one of their 'experiments', though, ended timeless' short-lived career as a scientist. after the incident, the hybrid wasn't allowed near the town's hatcheries ever again. 
		
		when they turned two, timeless began school. they were seen as the strange outcast, the creepy kid in the corner. they never sat in the front, and never raised their hand. many of their classmates found their large red eyes to be incredibly unsettling, and chose not to interact with the dragonet. timeless, however, did not care. they were at school to learn, shockingly enough, and the few dragons who did try to speak with them were quickly shot down. however, one specific dragonet was very persistent, and eventually timeless gave in and made their first reluctant friend. her name was angel, a pure white sandwing with the eyes of a baby, the perfect innocent. 
		
		angel was everything timeless wasn't, and the 'friendship' progressed one-sidedly. the sweet young dragonet began sitting next to timeless in every class, helping with homework and study, even spending time together outside of school. timeless found it absolutely ludicrous. what did this perfect little dragon want with them? 
		
		that's when timeless 'understood'. this was no friendship. angel was trying to paint them as a villain, the demon who infected the angel. and so they began to ignore angel. hurt, the sandwing stopped talking to timeless for the rest of the year. everybody else in the school immediately flocked to become her friend, having seen that she and the weird kid were no longer talking. she rose socially, became... popular. 
		
		her eyes no longer resembled a newly hatched dragonet. now, whenever timeless accidentally glanced at her, they shivered. her eyes were so dark now, so foxlike. angel's scales slowly seemed to lose their brightness, turning from pure white into a dustier color. timeless began to have dreams. dreams where the world ended, angel laughing in the middle of it all. when they woke, they were crying; words seemed to appear on their wall, clearly in timeless' own handwriting. 
		
		'a devil made from heaven, sent from above'. they said. and so timeless began to talk. it wasn't long before it was clear something was wrong with them, their eyes glassed over and bulging. they screamed with conviction and spoke of the future. suddenly, angel seemed a lot less friendly to the people who had just begun to worship her. in fact, she was turning into an outcast. timeless wasn't even that believable, it was clear something in their mind had deteriorated, but nobody was willing to fight their very much powerful parents over the matter of sending timeless away, and even fewer enjoyed having a 'crazy' dragon point and scream at them for speaking to the monster.
		it wasn't long before angel and her parents could no longer stand the emptiness from others. the family moved away, and nobody said goodbye. nobody asked when they would be back. 
		
		angel was furious. 
		
		years later, the two met again in a small sandwing market. both were passing through, and neither recognized the other until they were both long gone. angel's hatred was rekindled, and she decided that she was going to hunt timeless down. he had, after all, basically kicked her and her family out of the town they had lived in for maybe six generations, turned them into nightmare fuel for dragonets. and she'd never have the taste of popularity again. angel quickly figured out which way timeless had gone, and made her way in that direction. 
		
		the first time she tried to attack timeless, it wasn't very prepared. neither had been expecting the other, and angel had only briefly seen timeless on the other side of a crowded street. they barely had warning before a loud growl erupted from her throat and timeless was pounced upon. thankfully, onlookers peeled her away, and timeless quickly fled the scene. 
		
		since then, they have been in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, taking turns attacking. they both live in perpetual fear of the other finding them in the middle of the night, and are surrounded with paranoid measures.

		abilities
		
		
		-instead of lethal poison in the barb of their tail, timeless has a diluted venom-type which only causes mild discomfort.
		
		-despite their uneven wing proportions, they train their flight skills often and can outfly most sandwings, and a few skywings.
		
		-while being amazing at thinking on their feet and making split second decisions, timeless has a hard time rationalizing their ideas to other dragons.
		
		-despite being semi-confident in most social situations, the young hybrid cannot start a conversation for their life.
