* don't worry, he still has both his eyes, he just wears an eyepatch to look mysterious and cool. it also proves that he is, in fact, a pirate.
*eyepatch covers left eye and has a white x stitched on it.
*also wears a cool navy blue cape with a gold trim to it.
*sky blue main scales. pale blue spines, his left horn is broken. teal dapples his back and stretches across the membranes of his wings.
* has a nick in his right ear along with a pink-white snail shell earring that was given to him by yomiel when they were younger.
* very pale orange mirror scales. hints of this color are also present in the lightwing's wing membranes.
* has a constant look of irritation on his face to reflect his prickly nature.
*a deeper shade of sky blue forms stripes on his legs and little socks on his paws. this color is also seen as a fuzzy band around his snout.
* short king with stubby legs.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
 
*the best pirate in the world!!
*he's a pirate... he's got an eye-patch to prove it!
* bold, confident, and angry most of the time. can be petty and holds grudges for a very long time.
* loves exploring and finding buried treasure. likes going on adventures, but doesn't have... an adventuring buddy to go with anymore...
*obsessively wants to spend time with yomiel and be their best friend, but they always reject him because cricket wants to bring them back into a life of crime and nonstop action, which is a part of their past they aren't proud of. rather clingy with them.
**is chasing after a person that no longer exists. can't accept that yomiel has grown out of this and has matured into a better person.
*gets really embarrassed when he gets something wrong or needs help on trivial matters. likes affection, but gets flustered when it is given to him in a public manner.
*pretends everything is okay when it absolutely isn't. his aggressive and prickly behavior is just a façade to hide his intense loneliness and fear of failure. very stoic when it comes to pain, because he wants to come off as cool and brave.
*afraid of failure and vulnerability or having any sort of decrease in his performance. thinks that if he's not perfect, then yomiel will not want to hang out with him.
*always wants to impress yomiel, but always tries to be subtle about it as to not appear show-offy. in reality, he rarely gets to show off his skill, because cricket's not good at subtlety.
*NEVER cries... at least... not in public.
* fears being seen as weak or easy pickings. DESPISES being taken advantage of and blames himself when he gets manipulated by others.
*it's very hard to gain cricket's trust, but if that ever happens, one will quickly find out how truly loyal, compassionate, creative, loving, and faithful he really is. it's just that he never reaches out to anyone except the person he's obsessed with, so no one ever sees this side of him.
*is, surprisingly, a very private individual. while loud and talkative in public, he only ever talks about surface-level stuff and gives rather basic insight.
* kind of assumes that if he can just convince yomiel to come back to him, everything will go back to normal and all his mental anguish will dissipate.
*fears abandonment and hates betrayal and burdening others. this makes him sometimes ponder if those closest to him would be better off without him.
*doesn't have the understanding or knowledge to know how to deal with and cope with his own mental issues.
* takes pride in his scars and loves sword fighting and getting in and out of dangerous situations in the coolest ways possible.
*if his loneliness ever shows through, it comes out in the form of vague wistfulness and / or silent crying.
*mood can change fairly quickly. is prone to mood swings, especially when he's struggling with emotional turmoil.
*has a lot of weird hobbies, like collecting eyepatches and swords for no other purpose than for the sake of collecting... and also maybe to impress yomiel...
* likes stealing... but only steals from the rich because the rich suck. gives a substantial amount of his earnings to the poor, keeping the coolest treasures for himself.
* tends to speak in long, nonsensical "threatening" monologues when in the presence of zenith. usually keeps the scripts of these monologues written on his arm in marker in case he forgets.
*fascinated and ever curious about cool inventions others have made. also likes to geek out about sci-fi stuff like robots and spaceships that he's read about in sci-fi fantasy novels... this is, of course, in private. loves the concept of pirates above all of these, though, even if he has a very surface-level understanding of what the duties of being an actual pirate is like. which is probably for the best.
*rarely thanks others.

Cricket is a bit of an enigma when it comes to purely his abilities, as he is quite the skill monkey. While most skilled in sword fighting, he's also branched out into sailing, lock-picking, stealth, and pick-pocketing.
*skilled in sword fighting and knows a thing or two about sailing. is a bit of a skill monkey. is good at a lot of different thinks, mostly in categories that would assist him with thieving. exceptionally good at pick-pocketing and lock-picking.
*mirror scales on the undersides of his wings can be used to reflect light and temporarily stun his opponents. only uses these if he gets caught by someone.
*high pain tolerance, which ends up making him a bit reckless in combat.
*actually pretty good at playing the viola.
H I S T O R Y
* throughout his early dragonethood, cricket, going by flapjack at the time, lived with his mother, eda, in a beach cabin near the bay of a thousand scales.

yomiel: they used to be pirating buddies, but then they left! wants to go pirating with them desperately, but they're always spending time with zenith instead. they're the only one who he lets call him by his real name. is very lonely without him, but don't tell anyone, okay!! sometimes plays the viola with them, but that is near and far between.
considers them to be his sibling, and they're officially considered kin after a blood ritual they did when they were younger. trusts and loves them unconditionally and is incredibly loyal to them. obsessively wants to be their best friend and wants to go on adventures with them. looks up to them and admires their talent.
zenith: that jerk calls himself a hero! always takes ALL of yomiel's attention and doesn't invite him on any of their adventures! has a grudging respect for him and the two make an incredible fighting duo whenever they agree to cooperate. he won't stop calling him by his real name!! >:(
he's technically cricket's brother since he's yomiel's adopted younger brother. doesn't officially consider him his brother, though. only ever agrees to work with him if yomiel is in genuine danger. while he hates zenith, he won't actively do him any harm, aware of how important he is to yomiel.
jealous of his close sibling bond with yomiel. 
eda: mom... she's... not around.
T R I V I A
*right-handed.
*favorite food is taiyaki. is also fond of clam chowder, too. though, ultimately, his favorite thing in the world is a special cinnamon hot chocolate that yomiel made for him once to comfort him when he got sad. has tried to recreate it, but has always failed.
*wants to live in a treehouse located in the rainforest territories with yomiel one day. has a fondness for treehouses... and ziplines.
* lives in a rather dilapidated garage with a crudely made shrine to yomiel in it.
* moral alignment is chaotic good.
