Brilliance

by TwilightWoF

### History

Brilliance was born as the child of two cold NightWings, Scorn and Loyalty. They pushed him to do well acedmically and they encouraged him to pursue a career in science. He became a head scientist in the first lab. One year after the fall of the lab, he was executed by the NightWing queen for treason.

### Quote 1

"You worthless abomination! How dare you destroy my ingenious invention? You will pay for this, by the wrath of science!”

### Creator

Sal

Brilliance is a minor character from the first lab. He was originally created by Salvation.

## Appearance

Brilliance is a bit odd for a NightWing, at least in terms of appearance. His main color is a dark, stony gray. The majority of his scales on his body are this color, along with most of his face and some of his legs. His wing membranes are a similar color, though slightly darker and covered in starry scales.

The stars on his wing membranes, while very average, are not the only star scales on his body. Brilliance has a deep black underbelly. Instead of being plain, his underbelly is speckled with the same starry scales you would expect to find on his wings. This helps him camouflage when flying at night, but it stands out and looks odd in the daytime. The crest of scales above his eyes also has this look.

He has another unusual feature, and this is his electric blue scales. There's a line of them along his spine, there are some on his snout and face, and his legs are also covered in these scales. Brilliance doesn't seem to like or dislike them and they don't do anything special.

Besides those three oddities, Brilliance is fairly normal. He has teal eyes and white horns, claws, and spines. His build is on the scrawny side. Years of staying up late to study and staying inside to read have caught up to him, and Brilliance constantly has a tired look about him. His eyes have bags beneath them, his arms and legs seem scrawny, and his ribcage is more pronounced because he often skips meals to work on experiments. Overall, it's a bit hard to make any conclusions about Brilliance just based on his appearance.

## Personality

Brilliance is not generally cruel, but nothing will get in his way of reasearching. If an experiment acts out he will not hesitate to restrain them by any means nessacery. He chooses favorites and doesn’t try to hide that, he also dislikes a lot of his fellow scientists. He isn’t generally happy, but he’s not outspokenly sad.

## History

Wip, basically he had strict parents who wanted him to be something great, so he used his love of learning to become a scientist.

## Relationships

Dustorm: Brilliance got along decently with his boss, as they were the same age and thought similarly. However, they had several things they disagreed on. They were never enemies, but never true friends either.

Cheetah/L19HTN1N9: When Cheetah was a normal dragon, Brilliance respected her to a degree. He liked that she kept the experiments in line, but they never agreed on much else. Cheetah was one of the staff that Brilliance was not fond of. He was actually quite thrilled when she was turned into an experiment because she was, in his words, "much more interesting that way."

Carmine: They worked together, and that was about it. They had a very neutral relationship.

Tidal: Brilliance found Tidal to be annoying at times, especially when she was in one of her angry moods. They never had a good relationship.

Steam: They got along semi-decently, and Brilliance actually kind of liked the resourcefulness of the guard. But he knew she was in it for the money, and he never trusted her more than he had to.

Spider: Brilliance never had time for the flirty guard. He saw Spider as more of an annoying ball of energy than a competent guard.

Saltwater: Brilliance never understood the guard. Saltwater always wanted to get rid of the experiments, while Brilliance was very much interested in keeping them around to study. They clashed a lot, and were hardly even allies.

Yellow River: Brilliance found her excessively murderous attitude to be annoying. They didn't cooperate well.

Avalanche: Brilliance didn't like the passiveness of the guard. He somewhat understood that Avalanche didn't want to get in trouble, but he thought the MudWing hybrid was rather boring.

Whitesand: Brilliance and Whitesand were not friends. It would be fair to say that they were enemies, even. Their methods of experimenting were very different, and they never got along.

Earth: They never talked much.

Shine: The two scientists didn't talk unless they were working on the same project, but Brilliance wasn't fond of her.

Dolphin: Brilliance admired her, just the tiniest bit. He used to wonder how a nice dragon like her could put up with the lab, and after it was destroyed, he occasionally wondered what had become of the friendly guard.

Terracotta: Brilliance had the same opinion of her that he did of Avalanche. He thought both of them were boring doormats, but he did at least treat Terracotta with some decency.

Amnesia/CH1M3R4: He absolutely despises this experiment. He can't stand to be in a room with her for more than five minutes before getting angry and storming off.

K33N: He hates her, and she finds it funny to routinely trash his office. He dislikes her quite a lot.

B4N3: He find this experiment to be quite intruiging, though Bane probably hates Brilliance.
