Cataclysm

Cataclysm, formerly nicknamed Clyde, is an adult male NightWing-SandWing hybrid. He hatched under one moon granted with foresight, though due to his genes, it is slightly scuffed, instead only presenting him visions in particular conditions.
He was a soldier under Burn in the SandWing Succession War, leading a mixed tribe winglet consisting of his friends. However from not taking precautions and instead banking on his misunderstood abilities, he lost all of them in conflicts and tragedies, scarring him greatly and eventually leaving the war entirely. He is often whispered around in the tribes at the discussion of significant soldiers, some even visiting him to see if he exists.
== Appearance ==
Cataclysm appears as a regular NightWing with a slightly flatter head, curled up horns, veil down to his shoulder, and some plates on his arm.
He has ebony black scales slightly lightened and toned to a hue of orange that glitter gold in the sun. He his veil is slightly edged with a reddish gold, also rimming his dark, speckled wings that resemble a sunrise of a full moon night. He has dull lavender irises that glint sapphire in reflections with darker sclera. He is thin around the legs and neck with a thicker tail and thinner wings. He is taller than most NightWings of his age, originally often standing in a flashy or exaggerating pose. He often smiled with a spiky laugh and had kind eyes. During the war he used to wear a vest with a trident and a sword attached to his tail he'd use in combat.
Over the years he appeared more dried out, having a more raspy, deep voice and cautious, sly movements that step with fear. He gas a multitude of scars from the war, particular and most out standing one is a slash near his left eye that looks like a lavender teardrop. 
During visions, his eyes flash with colors rather than pure white, sometimes even glowing from his mouth. He describes them as painful, burning sensation, often digging his talons into the surface. 
== Personality ==
Cataclysm used to be energetic, hasty, confident, and snarky. He had a spark to him many would recognize with his curious frisking and playful remarks. He was often somewhat detached, not taking too many things seriously, though wasn't completely oblivious to everything. He particularly understood the weight of the war for different dragons, using what he knew to dissolve some arguments as a dragon with a way of words. Though sometimes this may result in them getting worse if he doesn't fully understand the context. He believed himself to be the dragon many needed, having a mindset of trying to help most he could. He was optimistic, disliking delving into visions he received that were negative believing them to be avoidable.
After losing all of his friends, he grew more pessimistic and reclusive. He felt like a burden, only hurting others by his presence and aid. Throughout his years he grew a tighter understanding of things, feeling anything to stop the war was pointless and the dragonets only did so out of luck. He's distanced himself far enough to be unaware of royalty issues of the current day. He is more careful and calculated, he doesn’t like acting on impulse and evaluates things before doing them leading to not doing anything at all. He still has a ember of his old self trapped deep inside, though requires for a spark of hope to unleash it.
== Abilities ==
Cataclysm is able to breathe fire, having more control over it from his fire breathing parents like Sunny. He his scales radiate a faint warmth, not enough to be felt without touching him.
He is moonborn, gaining foresight after left out during a full moon in the desert sand. However his SandWing genes interfere with his powers. They restrict visions to only occurring when Cataclysm is in a memorial state from remembering a beloved moment to standing in a familiar setting. After he receives these visions, he can study them more thoroughly. These visions come usually in waves of multiple, at least 15, and are related to the memory, such as a memory friends sending waves of possibilities for their futures.
They clutter his mind, overloading his brain to give a burning, painful headache. Whenever he's done, he's usually very tired, occasionally passing out.
== Biography ==
Cataclysm hatched to an Unnamed SandWing sometime during the beginning of the SandWing Succession War.
At 6 years old, his father died in a skirmish on their way home, leaving Cataclysm without a guardian as his father was nowhere to he seen. He eventually found his body searching for him venturing deeper into the desert.
Along his journey and trips outside, he'd meet dragons who were lost like him. His closest was a NightWing dragonet who fled from the volcano island, also being his first. He'd later befriend 2 MudWing separated on a trip to a post, their BigWing eventually being found by Cataclysm, and a SandWing after they helped heal his wounds. The group eventually became their own winglet, electing Cataclysm as their BigWing for uniting them. They'd fight to protect other lost dragons, helping many evacuate or escape conflicts. 
Cataclysm became more and more worried of their stay as news of their feats would reach to participants in the war. In order to keep his winglet safe, it was decided they would join a side for protection, ending on Burn's as she's the closest. 
They officially partook in the war, Cataclysm's best friend and one of his MudWing friends being strategists. Cataclysm would aid whenever he happened to have visions aligning well, bringing those who knew him to believe he was a normal perceptionist. They even began to bank a little too much on this, entering conflicts as long as Cataclysm never had a vision on it, believing it to be a sign of certain victory. This is how he lost his first friend in the skirmish between Burn and Blister's forces around 5,007 AS. 
He'd take some time away to grieve, meeting Stonemover on his trip back to his home. After bringing him along, at the doorsteps Cataclysm had a visions, some including Thorn and Stonemover visiting him and his grown friends. He had some that were lest savoury though felt bleak, only assuring that Stonemover and Thorn would be great partners. 
He returned to the battlefield again after his friends comforted him in the stronghold at a sunset, arguably the happiest he ever was since their last party. 
Unfortunately he'd lose another in the attack that Gill was captured in to 2 SeaWings. He'd take it worse than before and even pulled everyone to the back lines. Though his best friend comforted him and helped him be able to push on. 
He wouldn't lose another until 5,009 AS where at a base there was a mismanagement with cactus bombs, setting them off in a huge explosion. A few seconds before Cataclysm had received such a vision staring into the sunset at the balcony, but it was too late as everyone died in the fire, his best friend almost being able to make it but later bled out. 
Such an event lead him to grow apathetic to the war now having lost everything. Even when his sergeant offered a new winglet to lead as he proved to be an excellent winglet leader, he declined, leaving for good. 
Such an action made him wanted for his illegal retirement making him hide deep into the Claws of Cloud Mountain range, building a hut within a valley. He isolated completely, unaware of the remaining events that would ensure. Despite ulterior wishes, many remembered him, though mostly whispered him in legend for his abilities, especially those who were around him. Some would visit, though he always declined and shunned them. 
Now these days most have forgotten about him, leaving him the peace he wishes for, in the pain of loneliness.

=== Unnamed SandWings ===
Cataclysm lived with his father for the first 5 years of his life, losing him near his sixth hatching day. He was very upset at his death, finding his corpse being a traumatic experience for him. He fought to save others for his sake and saw him in many of his friends.
=== Unnamed NightWing ===
The first friend he made was his best friend. A scrawny NightWing who fled his homeland, he was pitiful of the dragonet. He praised his intuition and ideas, the two becoming best friends. He was completely devastated at his death, refusing to give up his body for burial believing he was still alive until his parents requested it. His death was the last straw mentally and he refuses to let another dragon close to him sense.
=== Unnamed Dragons ===
Along his trips he came across and befriended 2 SandWings, 3 MudWings and a NightWing. He'd become friends with them, dispatching arguments between them and being the practical glue to keeps them together. Many love Cataclysm for this and he mutually loved them back.
