## -History-

Dan is currently 13 years of age living in Mount Edge on a mythical island. His story hasn't unfolded yet.

### Personality:

He is said to be fun loving, laid back, and funny. He likes to laugh and make jokes, he doesn't take things very seriously. He likes to be lazy and goof off instead of doing work, but he isn't a prude and blames others for his actions. He is caring and loving he may tease others but only in a friendly way. He is very social and loves food.

### Mannerisms:

Dan tends to swish his tail back and forth at a rapid pace when he is excited like a dog, he often uses his tail as much as a weapon as his claws but he doesn't fight much.. He has a snort like laughter and also sniffs frequently to clear his smoky nose. He speaks like a surfer dude and likes to mess up his hair(think James Potter).

### Weaknesses and strengths:

Dan is way to trusting for his own good, if you don't have a quote evil face then his full trust is placed on you. This can make him very susceptible because of his optimistic beliefs. Once he learns of a persons evil though he will be heroic in deed against them. He also has poor hunting ability as he often gets distracted or says some animal is cute. He is very good at fighting however, he just often doesn't use the skill. He can cheer almost anyone up when their sad either with him just being a stand up guy or stand up comedian.

### Backstory:

Dan was born and raised in the continent of DragonLand. He was born 3 years after his older brother Darius and started out as a little trouble making dragonet. Born to Andromeda, his egg was left behind with Darius and their mother disappeared without a trace that night. It was thankful dragons matured rather quickly and Darius could take care of Dan. But they have always lived with each other since on Mountain Edge near a volcano named Valiant.

He has always loved to explore and adventure the wilderness around his home and that's how he met many friends and enemies. One of the friends he met at a young age was a peach fire dragon mix named Deplo. They became very close and Dan would only be serious for him and Darius. One day the pair came across Shoal, undenounced to them of his treacherous tendencies the group became great friends, the three musketeers if you will.

Its said that Deplo was killed in an unknown way by shoal in which Dan witnessed the event. Dan has cursed Shoals name ever since.

During adulthood Dan had an encounter with Leo and the cowardice Lindworm fought Dan and gave him a scar, seemingly randomly.

Dan has also heard tales of the calico drat at the top of Peak Avalanche and wishes to seek him out and learn from him even though he has never seen the mysterious creature in person.

## -Relationships-

#### Clash:

Clash is Dans BFFF they are pals through thick in thin, sharing interests in their love of sky tricks and their headstrong attitudes. They often hang out in the clouds creating thunderflashes. They share a favorite food of pizza.

#### Mudskipper:

Mudskipper is a good and goofy friend of Dans. They often make skits together and joke about through the obsidian swamps. They sometimes pull pranks on their siblings and sometimes clash joins in. Dan also acts as a big support for mudskipper.

#### Shoal:

Dan was once ensnared by shoals charm and manipulation. But after Deplo was killed in front of his eyes Dan flew into a uncharacteristic rage and gave shoal and ankle scar. Ever since Dan has distained shoal and knows what he really is, loudly warning everyone in DragonLand, whether his efforts are successful however is questionable...

### Outdated short writing:

Dan snored relentlessly all night atop a large man made cabin that was indeed abandoned. Laying atop the structure apon a mountain was his usual nightly routine, he slept, ate, and went where he wanted. Cause he was Dan the nicest dragon ever who would find him scary, all those humans screams where of delight and they ran away to get their friends. He though drowsily before waking up the next morning

Ashes and dust filled the air, signifying the continets volcano exploded last night. Oh fun their will be a festival! Gotta go tell Darius. He swept through the polluted air with ease his lungs having adapted to harsh hot environments. Starting to fly up into the air, he did circles over circles, taking his sweet time to get to his brother. Fun came first, that's what he always said.

Landing with a roll at a black trench with sewage spewing out of a large pipe, he prodded another orange dragon w8th a peirced ear and sharp horns.

"Watch it" Darius barked annoyed, but getting up and glaring at his brother.

"Ole bessy erupted! I guarantee five dragon stones that theirs gonna be a festival" he chirped leaping circles around his brother.

"Whoopie I just love people" Darius grumbled sarcastically laying back down and putting his arms in front of his face.

"Ah come onnnn, clash might be their!"

Darius perked up a little then cleared his throat "fine I'll go but I'm not staying long and I will not do anything stupid like you"

"Fair enough!" He flappe dinto the air punching the breeze with enthusiasm to which his twin brother rolled his eyes. "Come roll in the ash with me" he pleaded plunging into gray piles of debris left by the volcano.

"Over my dead body" Darius grumbled still hunched over. What a silly guy Dan thought enjoying the scenery of the ash he lived and thrived in. They were fire dragons! And he personally was proud.
