===Introduction===
Darius is a male, bisexual, Mud/Sky hybrid who is the elected leader of the camp fam. He is one of the “Nublar Six” and is currently in a relationship with Ben. He is very knowledgeable of dinosaurs and that’s helped him and the group survive.
===Appearance===
====Physical====
At the beginning, Darius is one of the shortest of the camp fam. He does progressively get taller, but not by much. Darius is dominantly SkyWing, but has MudWing characteristics, including a MudWing tail and smaller wings. He has long, curved SkyWing horns, and small spikes running down his spine. He is rather thin and scrawny, though not so much as Ben. He has a small spike on his nose, and curved, spade-like talons. 
====Coloration====
Darius is dominantly warm brown shades. His main scales are a lighter rich chocolate color, with hints at bright orange (or coppery) underscales. His underbelly is a muted yellow shade, and his wings are a dark brown. His horns/spikes are an almost black shade, and the insides of his ears are a pale grayish yellow. His eyes are a dark brown, with honey colored flecks. He has markings up his limbs/wings that are slightly darker than his mainscale shade. 
====Accessories====
Darius has a dinosaur tooth necklace that he always wears. It was a gift from his father. 
====Scars====
Darius has dozens of pale, faint cuts littering his body. Unlike most of the others, he has not sustained any major injuries. He has an injured front wrist though, having nearly dislocated it when holding Ben up. 
====Inventory====
Field Guide: Darius began charting dinosaur behaviors while on the island, and he kept track of these behaviors in a small notebook he labeled his field guide.
Obviously he has his necklace.
===Abilities===
====Abilities====
SkyWing Abilities: Being that Darius is mostly SkyWing, he has fire, no matter what temperature he is. Though his fire does grow weaker under extreme cold. He also has good flight stamina, but lacks the larger wings and flight speed. Darius possesses higher cold resistance than most of the other camp fam members, but he is still subject to the cold temperatures of Mantah Corp.’s frozen biome. 
MudWing Abilities: Darius didn’t particularly inherit any MudWing abilities. He can hold his breath longer than average, but not as long as a pure MudWing could. 
====Weaknesses====
Emotions: Darius has a tendency to ignore his emotions and bottle them up, claiming he is fine. He puts others before himself, sometimes ignoring his own needs completely. Darius had never been good at talking about emotions, and it got worse after his dad passed. His brother tried in vain to get him to open up, but he refused. Darius finally broke after losing Ben while being on Isla Nublar. Ben was one of the only dragons who was able to convince Darius to open up, and even then sometimes Darius wouldn’t even open up to Ben. 
Overprotectiveness: Darius has a tendency to be overprotective of his group, and it got worse after he dropped Ben. He became incredibly terrified at the aspect of losing another close friend. This led some of the other camp members to feel he was trying to control them, and leading to some of the dialogue between Ben and Darius that moves their relationship forward.

===Relationships===
====Ben====
Boyfriends!! Ben and Darius are the closest of the camp fam, and have practically glued themselves together since Ben’s return from his fall. Darius expressed how he blamed himself for Ben’s fall, and Ben replied that he didn’t blame him. The two are very close and Darius is extremely hesitant to let Ben go, but let’s him go anyway.
“So, why can't you do that for me? Staying here is what's best for me.” -Ben to Darius
“No! I let you go once. Everything you went through is because of me.” -Darius to Ben
“None of that was your fault. All you've ever done is try to protect me. All of us. I'm not mad at you. I never was. I... I love you, bud.” -Ben to Darius
“We make quite a pair, don’t we?” -Darius to Ben
====Brandon====
Darius and Brandon (Brand) are brothers, and the best of friends. Brand seeks out the counselors of the camp and travels with them to Isla Nublar, hoping to save Darius and the others. Brand always tried to get Darius to open up to him after their dad passed, but he was sadly unsuccessful.
“Dad wouldn’t want this for you.” -Brand to Darius 
====Brooklynn====
Though their friendship started out a bit rocky (mainly Darius being annoyed with Brooklynn’s attitude) they bonded and eventually became friends. Brooklynn is one of the camp fam member’s that Darius is closest too, and they enjoy plotting to prank Kenji together.
“Hey, Brooklynn. Are you stoked as I am for our gyrosphere adventure?” -Darius to Brooklynn
====Bumpy====
Darius is one of the few who wasn’t against bringing Bumpy along, and thought it was a good idea considering Bumpy could help protect them once she was an adult. 
====Dad====
Darius and his dad were extremely close, and they always vowed they would make it to Jurassic World together, though Darius’s dad never made it. Darius’s dad passed away from an unknown illness a year or so before Darius made his way to Camp Cretaceous.
“Hey, come here. We're going to Jurassic World and it's gonna be incredible, not just because of the dinosaurs, because it'll be the two of us, together.” -Darius’s dad to him
====Daniel====
Darius hates Daniel and the feeling is mutual. They despise each other. Darius is also very aggressive towards Kenji when Kenji sides with his father.
“You’ll never get that password.” -Darius to Daniel
“If your dad gets through here…it’s war.” -Darius to Kenji about Daniel
====Dave====
Darius and Dave didn’t interact much, but Darius was grateful to find out that Dave came back to look for him. 
====Firecracker====
Darius has a habit for parenting Firecracker, just like Ben.
====Kenji====
Kenji and Darius’s relationship started out a bit rough, and proceeded to have its rough patches in the future, but overall the two came out perfectly fine. Kenji often does everything in his power to protect Darius, and in the future, Kenji becomes Darius’s adopted brother. Kenji stood back to a spinosaurus to prevent his father from using it to kill Darius. 
“I don't you to be intimidated by me because I'm rich, my father owns a few condos on the island, and I'm rich.” -Kenji to Darius 
====Mom====
Darius’s mom is ecstatic to find out be’s alive on the island. And she gladly welcomed Kenji into her family.
====Roxie====
When they first met, Darius was slightly annoyed that Roxie wouldn’t let him see the Compy she caught. 
====Sammy====
Sammy is very extroverted and friendly, and she enjoyed Darius’s dinosaur facts, and tried to befriend him like she did the others. She finds Darius’s information on Dinosaurs very useful. She also helps Brooklynn and Yasmina set Darius and Ben up.
“If your family was in trouble, wouldn't you do anything in your power to save them?” -Sammy to Darius 
====Yasmina====
Darius and Yaz aren’t the closest, but Darius respects Yaz’s dedication to her friends. Yaz and Darius are rather friends than closer friends like the rest of the camp fam.
“Oh, well, um, you know, Ben fell in love with a dinosaur, and Super Star here got us booted from the lab” -Yasmina to Darius
