Disaster

:"Look. The reason why I defected from my tribe is because I'm done with all the smoke and mirrors, lies and secrecy. That's all there is to it." 
:While saying this, Disaster hoped with all his heart that the SeaWing wouldn't pry further.:
Disaster is a male NightWing who lives in Shining Scale, a town in the Kingdom of the Sea. He is an accomplished inventor and tinkerer, capable of designing and repairing even the most complex of items.
__TOC__
==Description==
Having lived on the NightWing Island as a dragonet had effects on Disaster that still haven't quite faded, and likely never will. He is smaller and weaker than the average dragon, and while the sea air has somewhat helped his damaged lungs recover from the years of breathing in ash, the inventor will still sometimes be seized by coughing fits.
Disaster's scales are a glossy bluish-black. He has black horns, spines, wings and plated scales, while his underbelly is slate grey. The NightWing's star scales do not form any notable patterns, a fact which he is rather disappointed by.
A splotch of white scales are located on Disaster's snout, as well as white streaks on his wings. These markings only showed up on the NightWing when he was a young adult, and he feels no particular need to cover them up.
==Personality==
Disaster is an inventive, cordial, rational, and at times secretive and cowardly dragon. Like most NightWings, he will do almost anything to keep his cards close to his chest, though his reasons are rather different than the rest of his own tribe- he is mainly motivated by the potential shame of revealing his own shortcomings rather than a desire to protect ancient lies.
Always having had an affinity with machines and technology even as a dragonet, Disaster has a love for engineering and the sciences in general, and is always willing to explain his latest inventions to anyone who seems even the slightest bit interested. He is also rather intelligent, and while his aura of mysterious grandeur wore off long ago, Disaster is still respected by the townsfolk for his problem-solving skills.
The inventor is a rather introverted dragon, and will spend days or weeks on his own thinking up his next great scheme. Disaster's mind tends to be much faster than his speech, and he will quickly jump from conversation topic to conversation topic. While most dragons usually have no idea of what his tangents are about, those who are able to follow his train of thought often find that it makes semi-perfect sense.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
:Hatched and raised on the NightWing island, Disaster grew up in the dragonet dormitory within the fortress. While the volcano still spewed plumes of ash over the entire island, it was believed to be dormant at the time, and while prey was scarce, there was still enough to feed the tribe. Disaster loved to explore the old fortress's halls, and often eavesdropped on scientists' conversations, not understanding much but still getting a rush from the thrill of finding out secret knowledge.
:When he was four, Disaster got into a fight with another dragonet whom he has long since forgotten the name of. It was over when volcano would erupt, or if it would at all, though it was mainly just the two dragonets hurling insults at each other. At one point, the other dragonet shouted "If you're so sure the volcano will erupt, then you should know when it will rather than just guessing!" Reality seemed to shimmer and flex, and a stream of dates poured into Disaster's mind. The young dragonet immediately fled to the library, terrified by this knowledge of impending doom. Over the next few weeks, Disaster scoured every book in the library to figure out exactly what happened. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that his down-to-the-second knowledge of exactly when the volcano would erupt was the result of the other dragonet unwittingly animus-touching him. Seeing as the next eruption would occur in only a few years, Disaster resolved himself to keeping his newfound knowledge secret and escaping the island on his own.
:As Disaster got older, he convinced his teachers that he desperately wanted to be a mainland scout due to wanting to see and travel the continent. When he turned ten, the tribe's leaders took note of this, and he was sent on a mission to identify scavenger dens in the Mud Kingdom. As the tunnels had not been built yet, the flight to the mainland was arduous and harrowing, especially for a dragon who had never flown a distance that far. At one point in the journey, he was severely blown off course, leading most of the tribe to believe him dead. Eventually, Disaster washed up in the Bay of a Thousand Scales, but he didn't care. He had survived, and was far away from the volcano whose threat had loomed over his head for so long. He has since lived in Shining Scale, claiming to have been exiled from the NightWing tribe for not having mind-reading or prophetic abilities.
===Fanfictions===
:Disaster has not currently appeared in any fanfiction. 
==Relationships==
===Flying Fish===
While they butt heads often, the inventor respects Flying Fish's unshakable will. The two of them weren't fast friends, but what started as a rivalry eventually became a strong bond. The nets Flying Fish uses to catch fish for his cooking are actually of Disaster's make, woven so that they are both durable and hard to see. However, the NightWing still has lingering fears about Flying Fish finding his secrets out.
===Avon===
During the few times Disaster has met Flying Fish's sister, he has seen how wary she is around him. The inventor knows that he won't gain her trust anytime soon, and would rather she stop attempting to pry into his history, but the two of them share a common interest in science, and often discuss their findings.
==Trivia==
*Disaster's white markings are based off of a rook's.
*Due to the incident in the dormitory, he is wary of animus magic and refuses to go near animus-touched items.
*Flying Fish attempted to teach him how to cook once. It did not go well.
*His name could technically be considered two part, as the prefix Dis- means against, and the root word aster meaning star.
