A p p e a r a n c e
Gin (pronounced g-een) is tall and lanky, with a narrow, sharp face and a long, thin tail. His legs and talons are weathered, scars crossing over his palms. His claws are formidable, dark and glossy, with a glint when he flashes them in the light. His eyes are narrowed, although his icy aqua irises are entirely visible, with slitted pupils. He has silvery tufts of fur along his tail and neck instead of traditional IceWing spikes, an attribute he gained from his deity father.
He is mainly a snow-white dragon with a smooth, pastel violet or indigo underbelly and silver wing membranes. The word "gin" means silver in Japanese, his father naming him after his pretty mane. His horns are sharply hooked and a silky black, matching his wicked talons. He has a tattoo of three slightly wavy lines on his right hip, which signifies the Japanese symbol for "3". 
As the warrior Gokira, he wore armor of the Hellia region, which was black, with red and white accents. The armor was very sharp and full of edges, with points of jaggedness. The Hellian armor is very lightweight and flexible, as it is forged with Izanami's dark magics, so it bends and reforms, making the armor seem almost alive. Now, known to everyone as the gentle counselor Gin, he prefers to wear lightweight, traditional black robes tied with a whitish-silver sash around his midsection. 
Gin does carry a small dagger in the folds of his robes, concealed from view as to not startle any campers. His cabin contains a black bow with a finely-made quiver of arrows that have been untouched for years. He also has claw armor from the camp's forge.
P e r s o n a l i t y
Gin is actually a rather gentle dragon, desperately trying to right the world, hoping it will make up for what he did while under Izanami's spell. He is a patient and understanding instructor in the camp, in which he teaches kami and Pyrrhian history. The IceWing tries to be bright and in a good mood everyday, having wasted his childhood and being forced to grow up early. He lavishes in the quiet and peace of the coast near the camp, or basking with his mate and small son.
He has a soft temperance in comparison to Konton's abrasiveness and sharp tongue, smoothing down any feathers she may have ruffled along the way. He can be stubborn, as IceWings tend to be, but will generally attempt a fair compromise to appease all parties.
While growing up with Izanami, kami of nightmares and all things horrible, he was called "Gokira" and was taught to obey and be loyal, not to think for himself. Today, he still has some issues with being told what to do, even if minor, due to his trauma. He also is very hesitant to do any sort of fighting or sparring, still scarred of the murders and blood spilled at his talons. He had nightmares about it frequently, but they have gotten better since the god Toru has been reborn and he has his mate to help him.
A b i l i t i e s
Lie Detection
As the son of the god of deception, it is only natural Gin is able to easily tell when others are deceiving him. The most common way of deceiving someone is through lying. Someone's voice just sounds...different...when telling a lie versus telling the truth. However, Gin cannot make someone tell him the truth, although his father can.
Illusionry
Gin can create illusions, an ability obtained from his father. After years of grueling training, his illusions look incredibly realistic and he can withstand holding them for longer, although his illusions lose strength after about an hour, or if he is fatigued. His illusionry is not solid or real, meaning throwing projectiles or going through them will cause the illusion to dissipate.
IceWing Abilities
Being an IceWing, Gin has long claws that are great at gripping and slicing. He can also stay in the cold for long periods of time, but he does not have frostbreath. 
Archery
Gin learned archery when he arrived to the camp as a young adult, a tad older than the usual age recruits. He wanted to learn control after not having any for much of his life. He loves archery, using it as a coping mechanism. Today, the IceWing still does archery for comfort or for him to ground himself.

H i s t o r y
from blurb:
When the young IceWing hatched, his head was full of fur, not spikes, and the IceWing community agreed to have his mother publicly humiliated for creating such an abomination. However, they decided to leave the young dragonet out in the cold so nature could claim him. The little dragonet was very impressionable, and the goddess Izanami, kami of nightmares and all things bad in the world, used her siren call to lure him to her. She named him "Gokira," meaning "your killer," and trained him to live up to that name. While he was a young adult, Izanami tested his abilities by assigning him to kill a kami, which the IceWing did flawlessly, but not without making an enemy in the kami's daughter. Later, his father, the god Azamuku, separated his son from Izanami and her call, bringing him back to his senses after so long. He named him "Gin" after his mane, and escorted him to the camp of demikamis, where Gin began to heal from his trauma and vowed to redeem himself.
