Buckeye

Buckeye is a male, and uses he/him pronouns. He has recent SkyWing and NightWing ancestry, and is a SilkWing. Buckeye is a flamesilk.
== Appearance ==
Buckeye is a mostly maroon color, with dark magenta lowlights on his underbelly. Due to not having wings yet (but about to have them) he has unfurling wingbuds. Traces of dark magenta and dark grey can be seen underneath. He has a stripe of dark grey running from his snout to his tail, and has the same thing on his underbelly. He has amber splotches on his main body (not the underbelly), and his antennae are unusually short. He also has a gentle dark magenta fade on his feet, looking a bit like he stepped in some paint. There are also a few magenta splashes on his upper legs and tail. Buckeye is average in terms of height and weight, though he is slightly larger than other dragonets his age. His claws and teeth are short but sharp. His eyes are a dark grey color, with hints of dark magenta and maroon. Buckeye enjoys wrestling and play-fighting with other dragonets, so he does have a few visible muscles.
== Personality ==
Buck is very brave, and loves trying out new things. He's also considered to be strong among dragonets his age, and is very good at taking control of bad situations. He's always optimistic, looking on the good side of everything. He's very energetic, and can almost always do anything he sets his mind to, with enough work. Or so he believes. He is a bit aggressive and pushy, and is very stubborn, not liking to give up in any circumstance. He always puts a but too much gusto in whatever he does... including fighting practice, often ending up with the opposing dragonet going back to their parents with scratches and a slight limp. He's also very hyper, and never likes to sit still. Buckeye is very impatient and reckless, charging into things headfirst without a tangible plan other than to "bash their heads in". He can also get angry quickly, and has prominent anger issues. He's incredibly rebellious, believing that adults are oppressive and bad for the environment, and will take literally any chance to escape from his home or school, and loves joining secret groups. And keeping secrets. Maybe too many secrets.
=== History ===
====== Pre-Pre-Egg ======
Futurewatcher rested his wings, looking up in the direction of wherever he was going. This was it. He turned to smile at his Fiancé, Paradise, who grinned back. The two were a strange couple, sure. A NightWing and a SkyWing weren't in the norms. But Futurewatcher firmly believed that they could be together. Maybe this new place would help them with that.
When they finally arrived in what was the edge of the Poison Jungle, they made a small house in a tree.
A Few Years Later
Paradise looked at their newborn dragonets, who stumbled and jumped around their house curiously. Future twined his tail with hers, and they watched the dragonets play. As Future lapsed into sleep later, a vision came upon him.
Two of their dragonets, an ash-colored dragoness that they had named Burgundy, and a black male with bright red markings, named Volcano, explored near the towers. The two were all grown up now, but Future wondered where Meteor and Comet had gone. A beautiful dragoness, with wings like a butterfly's, landed in front of Volcano, and stole his heart.
Future woke up the next morning, knowing that his dragonets would carry on a legacy.
————
Swallowtail and Copper lived in Wasp Hive, in the flamesilk area. Since they were both flamesilks, the two were paired together. Even though they were unhappy about it, they were allowed to go outside of the cages, and had two eggs.
Both of the eggs were given to another pair, Hairstreak and Papillon. They raised the eggs like their own, and since they were living in a moderately nice house and had stable jobs, they hoped to give the two soon-to-be dragonets a good life. They were aware of who the real parents were, but decided against telling the dragonets, at least for then.
Buckeye hatched first, under the watchful eye of the pair. They had to help Arpina out, and named her Arpina. They were both pampered and nursed in the pair's arms. Hairstreak, the mother, thought about signing the two up for a daycare, and eventually did, giving them plenty of time to figure out what they liked. Buckeye quickly found that he loved play-fighting with the other dragonets, and dominated the daycare.
Buckeye also made a LOT of friends. His best friends, though, were by far Orange-tip and Scotch. He often wrestled with the other two dragonets, and it was really fun.
Buckeye was excited to know that he will be getting wings soon. He began to notice the whispers around him as he walked around, and was quite uneasy about it, but pretended not to be. He noticed that his wrists began to itch and burn, and started to suspect that something was very wrong. This all came to light when he started his cocooning, and found out quite quickly that he was a flamesilk. The HiveWings attempted to cart him away, but as The Crystalis had been tipped off and were secretly in attendance, they managed to snatch him and escape. Buck has been apart of The Crystalis since. Buck managed to get his friends Scotch and Orange-tip into The Chrystalis as well, as he wanted to make sure that they were safe.
=== Relationships ===
====== Orange-tip ======
Buckeye and Orange are bros. They play-fight every day, and they work together in The Crystalis.
====== Scotch ======
Same with him. Buckeye and Scotch wrestle a lot, and Buckeye makes sure that Scotch feels loved.
====== Hairstreak ======
Buckeye has gotten a lot more independent, but always went to Hairstreak when he had a problem. He loved her, and she loved him. He misses her sorely.
====== Papillon ======
Buckeye was best friends with his father. Definitely had a father-son relationship before Buck fled.
====== Arpina ======
Buckeye loves his sister, and would do anything for her, despite the arguments they have.
=== Trivia ===
Buckeye is named after the common buckeye butterfly.
