Streamline

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
 
Streamline is a male Ice-Sea hybrid of the second circle living in Glacielle. He is of noble descent and well known among high society. However, as a hybrid of high social standing he was commonly criticized, making him determined to climb up to the first circle to prove his worth.
== Appearance ==
Streamline is part Ice-, part SeaWing, but resembles the latter much more, possessing rigid fins on his back and on the tail as well as long barbels, and gills from the SeaWing side. He has long dark crooked claws and short straight horns. His bioluminescent markings are very geometrical, resembling claws or icicles. Streamline lacks the markings on his tail, which is why he cannot properly communicate in aquatic.
The scales are the color of diamonds and tropical oceans, seemingly changing colour depending on what angle you look at him from, and how the surrounding light is. Streamline has blue eyes and black sclera. He has transparent blue frills and wings. On his right talon Streamline wears a ring. He also has two small piercings in each ear. 
== Personality ==
Those who know him describe Streamline as a nuisance, a troublemaker, and a disgrace to IceWing society. This is the perception other aristocrats have of him. Their opinion isn't entirely unfounded. After all, Streamline can be very cocky and doesn't think about consequences most of the time. He frequently finds himself in wild situations, and he has the tendency to flirt with strangers only to usually end up breaking their hearts. In his opinion life should be enjoyed. Rules and bullies are more of a secondary concern. Streamline is a flamboyant dragon who likes showing off, but at the same time he isn't very materialistic. He does like accessories, but doesn't wear much jewelry as it bothers him more than it brings any value. It's easy to view him as a mean dragon even when his intentions usually are not bad.
There are some dragons that can knock some sense into him and that are his friends, who are the most important thing in this world, above his own life even. Though his friends also tend to be as chaotic as him, ending up endorsing his behaviour even more instead. Making friends isn't that hard for Streamline (at least among commoners) as he is quite social, and not as elitist as other aristocrats. He definitely struggles with expressing some emotions towards others, but it is not as prominent as it is with other IceWings. Streamline may often chat with strangers on parties. He can be quite sophisticated when needed, switching up for whoever he is conversing with if he aims to get to their good side.
== Abilities ==
* Hybrid Physiology: Streamline has all skills of a SeaWing, being able to swim very well and breathe underwater. With his glow marks he is also able to communicate underwater, however there are some words in aquatic that he cannot signal due to the lack of tail markings. He also possesses cold resistance from both parents, which allows him to live in Glacielle, and swim in cold water with no issue. Streamline doesn't have a breath weapon, and was commonly looked down upon for that by IceWings.
* Fishing: His amazing swimming skills make it easier for him to fish. He prefers that over hunting, which he isn't as good at. With his fishing skills he even surpasses the best of his IceWing peers.
== Relationships ==
=== Razorbill ===
* Best Friend | Positive
Best friend he goes to parties with. They're a first circle IceWing, who somehow got their rank despite definitely not being of best behaviour. They broke some rules together. Razorbill is a bit older than Streamline. Their family is active in the oil industry and got acquainted to Shuga through said business.	
=== Purga ===
* Friend | Pos
Both are sort of outcasts in their own ways. This made the two connect very well, but it's probably also both of their open and social natures that made their friendship work. Streamline sees Purga as a sort of older sister, who sometimes scolds him for his mistakes but overall cares for him.
=== Blood Snow ===
* Acquaintance | Neu
Streamline got to know her better through Purga. Prior to that he only heard stories about the guard and saw her from afar as many other dragons in Boreal do. He considers Snow pretty cool, especially the fact how she managed to become such an outstanding guard despite society's views on her.

== Story ==
The story starts with Shuga, an IceWing who oversaw a big part of the fishing industry (if you could call it that) in Glacielle. The northeastern coast of the queendom was the territory of Shuga's family, and the town Floe was a part of it. Shuga often visited the little city in the North, usually for business related reasons, but also to take a break from the rigid life in Boreal.
The SeaWings of Floe were seen as part of IceWing society, and in general the IceWings in the surrounding territory did not mind them nor were hybrids with them that uncommon or unwelcome. However, this only applied to the common folk. For the aristocrats and highest circle IceWings the idea of romance with another tribe was a social taboo. But society could not control the feelings of a dragon and they were not enough to stop her from acting on them. Even when the dragons around her disapproved of it, Shuga soon bore the egg of a SeaWing fisher. The dragonet probably could have profited from growing up with his father instead, but in this IceWing society with IceWing rules and an IceWing mother, Streamline was slotted into a place he didn't fit into, and everybody around him made sure to remind him of that.
Streamline spent the first half of his life in Boreal and the area around the Hundred Winter Lake. Since he was part SeaWing, he was always drawn to the water, so his family spent much time in Morozova. His grandparents didn't want him to leave too far, seeing as he was Shuga's only dragonet (and would remain that), he was also the heir to everything. Maybe they would have preferred a girl, but the grandparents were satisfied enough with what they had. While it was also a disappointment that Streamline was rather mediocre at flying and hunting, and he also lacked the natural weapon of IceWings, they were impressed that he had his fathers talent for swimming and fishing. For a family that earns their living through fish and other seafood this was pretty good, especially because unlike other IceWings Streamline could also dive properly.
Despite lacking in certain things, young Streamline could handle himself quite well. His grandparents actually grew to like him, even when they didn't always see eye to eye, but their relationship with their daughter was not going as well, and as Streamline grew older, he started to notice that. With age also came more socializing and interactions. Streamline got to know many more dragons.
Among the dragons he got to know was Capelin, who was also a hybrid, and Razorbill, who just like Streamline was part of the IceWing elite. Razorbill was never one to care much about the rules of IceWing society and instead did whatever they wanted. One thing they enjoyed were parties. Streamline often got invited by Razorbill, and he too grew to enjoy the festivities.
