**Echo** is a young male dragon who was first introduced in the trp, "First Impressions". Currently, he dwells near Praesidium.

## Appearance

Echo has three forms he morphs between, all somewhere on the scale between dragon and human. In his human form, he appears to be a young boy with pale, almost gray, skin. His hair is a deep purple color that is often mistaken as black. Furthermore, his eyes are a deep purple color. He is more comfortable in his in-between form, and this is the form he is usually seen in. His oversized wings tent around him, and he has scales snaking up and down his chest and arms as well as his face. Two large gray horns protrude from his skull, and a tail drags on the ground behind him. In addition to this, his claws and teeth are sharpened. In both forms, he wears a comfortable black and purple hoodie.

His last form makes him appear totally dragon. He seems to be composed of shadow. Small, barely-there flecks of white glitter over his rippling muscles, and large horns crest over his skull like a crown. He is able to shift in size, soaking in the shadow around himself to grow or shrinking down so he could fit in a pocket.

## Personality

For the better half of Echo’s life, he dwelled in the woods, spending time getting in tune with his animalistic nature. He spent time merely surviving, fostering his bloodlust and simply roaming wherever he wished. He spent most of this time searching for home. He didn’t know where he was or how he got here, but he knew he wasn’t home. As a result of this experience of being alone, Echo is independent and strong minded. He is confident in his own abilities and can go extended periods without human contact. This is likely the most genuine version of himself: animalistic, brutal savagery laced with confident independence.

Eventually, Echo took off more than he could chew and found himself severely injured. Luckily, he was found by a man named Marshall. Marshall was a scientist and provided Echo care and a safe place to stay in exchange for research. Marshall studied Echo, and they formed a mutually beneficial relationship. The majority of Echo’s personality was shaped by his caregiver during this time. He learned how to speak English and began to mimic Marshall’s sarcastic and cunning personality. Echo adopted many of Marshall’s habits for himself. Now, he presents himself confidently. He is somewhat arrogant and thinks quite highly of himself. He is intelligent, stubborn, and calm.

Much of Echo's personality is built off of who is around him. He is truly an echo, able to soak in and repeat behaviors, expressions, and mannerisms when he wishes to.

## Abilities

* **Flight**
* **Specialized breath** - Echo is able to exhale a toxic purple gas. The short-term effects of breathing this substance in are throat and lung problems, fainting, blurred eyesight, nausea, and even coughing up blood. It is not lethal unless a large dose is inhaled. In the same vein, Echo is also able to produce small flames with his breath
* **Umbrakenesis-** Echo is able to manipulate shadow, and he typically uses this for stealth. His control of the shadows are underdeveloped, however, and he is still learning how to do other things with this ability.

* **Teleportation-** Much like a telos, Echo can teleport from one area to another.
* **Shapeshifting-** Unbeknownst to Echo, his mimicking abilities go far deeper than simply copying someone's personality. He can also change his appearance to become a carbon copy of someone else.
