Lesath

Lesath is an adult male Nightwing with foresight.
== Personality ==
Generally quiet, but he has a strong thirst for exploration. His… abilities, lead him to many places across the continent. Lesath is haunted by what he sees and blames everything he didn't take seriously on himself, so now he does whatever he can to prevent things. Because of this, he rarely gets a break. He still blames himself for things he saw as a dragonet- things he couldn't even control. Lesath has taken a lot onto his shoulders and refuses to take it off, even though it's already affecting him. He's constantly lethargic and tired, and is consistently self-hating. He views himself as the scum of the earth.
Around other dragons, he comes off as friendly enough. He has a passion to him and it shows in how he acts. He hides his powers as much as he can, trying not to burden the dragons around him. But, because of the nature of his abilities, he can't make any close friends without them finding out. Lesath has a fire to him, but it's slowly dying out the longer his life passes on.
== Backstory ==
Lesath was born with the name 'Kepler' due to his starry wings. He can't remember much about his parents, but he does remember that they weren't exactly the most attentive.
He can remember being left alone for hours, hungry and sad, wondering if they'd ever come back. And he remembers one thing specifically- the first night he had one the worst visions. It was peaceful, an otherwise good day, but his powers decided it was time for another prophecy.
This time, he saw his mother die.
Lesath had been having these dreams for a while now and chocked it up to malfunctioning powers. His parents had told him not to worry, that whenever he had dreams they didn't come true. So, he didn't worry.
When he woke up the next morning, his father was sobbing. His mother had died- the exact way he predicted it.
Overwhelmed with grief, Lesath's father put him up for adoption and left to find his own purpose. Lesath was upset, but he understood. Even being at such a young age, he had seen the horrors of life, and just didn't have it in him to dislike his father.
He tried to be as good a dragon as he could. He realized quickly that he was an outcast, that his powers made him appear odd. So, he decided that he should start hiding them. With that new recognition, he slowly gained a couple acquaintinces. Of course, they could never know his true nature, but it was alright. Companionship was what he wanted, not someone to spill all his problems on.
Eventually, Queen Athebyne of the Nightwings showed up to adopt him. It was strange, and he was surprised. His foresight had been listed on the sheet, but for it to be means for his adoption was just strange.
He had to take it upon himself to explain that it didn't work like how she expected. There's no way to force the visions or make them come out more legible than a terrifying nightmare.
Lesath enjoys the peace and comfort of the Nightwing Palace, but he gets restless easily. His dreams drive him insane, a constant reminder of his failure as a dragon- a mistake to give powers to.
== Appearance ==
Lesath is a lighter color- all Nightwings considered. He appears more of a dark grey than any other color. His wings are fairly large and have multicolored specks on the inside- not very visible unless he's flying, but it's almost a disco-like affect in the light. He has long, unkempt claws, and in general he doesn't look very put together. Without knowing who he is, it'd be impossible to tell his status. Lesath walks with a slight limp and keeps his head down, if he's even in public at all. Large self-imposed claw marks on his back right leg. They scale the entire joint, going all the way around. It affects how he walks greatly and causes him to limp. One night, Lesath had woken up. He had a vision foretelling he would die by stepping on a mine with his back right leg. Being tired and more importantly, terrified, he tried desperately to tear his own leg off. This, obviously, did not work, but it did make the orphanage staff wary of him. Wears what is almost like a muzzle, but the bottom half is taken off. It covers up his snout and around his eye. Fairly averagely built. A little on the smaller side.
