Hawthorn

"I just told him he was being a child. I mean, what commander storms out in the middle of a meeting because someone said something he didn't like? And really, in your leader's presence too! How unprofessional!"

⚠️**WARNING⚠️**

IF YOU ARE HERE FROM THE ANIMATED SERIES- THIS PAGE CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR ALL NINE ARCS OF ASIRIAN! I WOULD RECOMMEND CLICKING OFF FOR NOW!

## Introduction

Hawthorn is a tall, authoritative LeafWing and the first real leader of Asirian. He cannot stand mentions of his namesake from history and swears up and down his parents were smoking something when they named him.

## Personality

Hawthorn is very prideful in himself and what he does, for the most part he's mostly concerned with himself so it's fairly easy to catch him off guard, despite his anxiousness and severe trust issues. Hawthorn is usually quite formal and professional but whenever he snaps.. well, you wouldn't really be shocked or anything cause you wouldn't remember what happened anyways. Instead of trying to be a good person, Hawthorn occassionally does bad things and chooses to erase his soldier's memories to create the illusion of him being an all around perfect dragon, when in reality he's hiding quite a lot. He also loves being the tallest guy in the room and gets unnecessarily angry whenever someone is taller than him.

Hawthorn loves plants and will kill you if you do so much as step on a flower. He is also a strict carnivore; apart from eating fruits, this man has never touched a single plant in his life. He only eats meat.

## Appearance

His scales consist of many shades of green; his primary scales being lighter than the secondary down his back. He also has light green dots speckled all over his face and body. His wings and frill are a vibrant shade of yellow.

## History

**Warning- This is really low effort because I just copy/pasted it from a discord convo**

So basically at first there’s a thing where like some people went “Yo wait we need a leader above everyone because we keep going to war over stupid shit” so they get all the tribe leaders on board with it and they rent out this MASSIVE arena/stadium thing and they set it up so the leader would be decided by trials and other shit that determines how worthy they are Hawthorn saw it and went “Yo shit dude I’m worthy” and entered- his friend Cerulean (an animus by the way) was concerned for him because of his strange ambitions but didn’t stop him. Hawthorn was doing really well in the combat/other stuff like that in the trials but when it came down to morals and leadership qualities- he uh- He’s not the greatest The people who were doing said trials needed an animus to help decide the results so they wouldn’t break their backs doing it so Cerulean went “Yo that’s me” and because of that, anyone who knows the people in charge of the trials is allowed back where everything was decided. Hawthorn started getting anxious near the end so he BROKE IN AT NIGHT and looked at the results Ready to be surprised? He’s not worthy at all lmao He shits himself really hard and since it’s on a computer he fucks around with it until it places him at number one. The trials still go on for a few weeks and since it’s almost over they got all the leaders to sign a sort of contract or a.. *document* you could say, and everyone had done it. Soon after this happens- Oh shit the SkyWing leader died. Who takes her place? Scorch :) Anyway- the trials are over and Hawthorn is just about to get crowned when they’re like “damn wait scorch didn’t sign and since the trials are over he has to” So Let’s just say he didn’t want to and it… took a lot of “convincing” to get him to do it- He hated the idea of having one above all and was viewed as stupid for that but is later proven right (arc 7 leak) Anyways Hawthorn after going through hell and back takes control of Asirian (the planet, not a continent) and Cerulean who became his assistant stopped using his animus magic. Before he did, he created the animus cube and used it in secret. Hawthorn caught him and stole it from him, tested it out and realized “Holy hell this thing has the properties of animus magic, checks the command logs in it and realizes CERULEAN HAD USED IT TO FIND OUT HE HAD CHEATED IN THE TRIALS AND PLANNED ON TELLING EVERYONE- Well of course his only option was to start erasing Cerulean’s memory. He continued this for years and years until Cerulean became a personality-lacking blob who absolutely refuses to use his magic in any time of crisis. Cerulean doesn’t even know he made the cube. He doesn’t think normally anymore from how many times he found out about Hawthorn and tried to out him, only to be set back to square one.

## Main Arcs

**Warning- This is really low effort because I just copy/pasted it from a discord convo**

Hawthorn continues to be a really shitty leader, he started doing some more bad stuff, more people found out, more people got their memories erased. It's a chain reaction. A bit ago, Sunfire had escaped from Scorch (he's like 14 at this point in time) and found Hawthorn by chance, joining up with him as he was offered free shelter and thought (Keyword, *thought*) he was a good leader. Hawthorn was going somewhere and Sunfire happened to be with him and he pointed at a yellow thing on the ground and went "Yo that looks like a dragon" so they land their ship and holy shit its dead Luster /j (Nah she only lost her wings/tail barb lmao) Hawthorn was sort of known for taking in anyone who needed it and usually he'd make an agreement that's like- "Free food, free shelter and a paycheck as long as you work for me" but Luster is like 7 when this happened so that doesn't really- work. He still took her back anyways cause he's not that much of a jackass so she stayed with the medics for a bit. Once she was conscious again Hawthorn tried talking to her but she was confused and scared so she tried to attack him in a blind rage. He was like "Shit this isn't gonna work" and did our FAVORITE THING called using his animus cube to alter things about other dragons He made her less violent and more trusting towards him. He tried walking back in and was able to talk to her that time and kind of explain what happened. He tried getting someone to take care of her until she was 13 but nobody really wanted to or they weren't able to so he did it himself. Despite how terrible of a person he was, Luster obviously had no idea so they grew close and he's like "Damn this is my child now" and legally adopted her He then went on to be the worst father in history. Luster spending so much time around him obviously saw- a lot of what Hawthorn did. So what'd he do? Erase her memory. A result from being enchanted by an animus cube too many times is getting small rings in your eyes, Cerulean has them too. (When Luster was 13 she started training to be a soldier and this part I can just leave blank since nothing too important happens) Basically stuff happens and then oh no Sunfire stabs Hawthorn guys! Our main group- comprised of around 5-6 dragons who most of them don't get along whatsoever, have just walked in on Sunfire doing a bad murder! He's completely covered in blood and he has a knife in his hand. He was in his room plotting to kill Hawthorn, only to realize he was mostly concerned with himself and all he had to do was catch Hawthorn off guard and stab him. The main group is like "Wtf we trusted you??" and Sunfire is like "bro he was shit" Of course nobody believes him so he forces them to stay quiet with fear, takes Hawthorn's crown and his animus cube and just fucking leaves lmao They check Hawthorn's pulse to make sure and they realize he is barely alive because Sunfire was a dumbass and missed his heart They bring Hawthorn to medics somewhere and kind of keep him hidden while Sunfire had fully taken control over the kingdom. *Insert like a year of hiding Hawthorn and Sunfire being a funny traitor* They lure Sunfire out into the middle of a forest by angering him and then leaving on a starship, forcing him to follow. They land their ship and hide as they wait for Sunfire to step out. He does and he stands there, looking around before a vine randomly shoots out of the forest and nearly grabs him. He jumped back, seeing Hawthorn fully healed now standing there with him They started fighting and so they accidentally lost the animus cube somewhere in the forest and then Hawthorn goes batshit crazy They then have an epic anime fight. Someone started streaming the fight and it drew spectators and *our favorite person Scorch pulls up with a fucking bag of chips* Sunfire probably would've won because if you know your Pokémon, Fire types always beat plant types, before he realized Scorch was there and accidentally made eye contact (Scorch murdered his parents and basically beat him as a child and did other horrible stuff ) Hawthorn took this moment of distraction to win the fight and he found the cube so everyones like "WOOOO HAWTHORN WON!@!!!@!!!@!!@!@ THE TRAITOR GOING TO PRISON!!@!@@!!@!!!!" BUT THEY'VE JUST MADE AN *ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE MISTAKE- Hawthorn pretty much still erases memories and shit- Also he's grown colder at this stage which is understandable from being nearly murdered by your own second in command but yknow.*

Insert arc 4 (ill do it later)

The main group gets a break now right? No! Absolutely not! This is Asirian, there's no such thing as having a break from villains. Sunfire fucking escapes prison The prison cells are animus enchanted to only be unlocked by leaders, but it still considered Sunfire a leader and so he accidentally got the lock to open. How? They were going to kill him at first. Luster being who she is convinced Hawthorn not to kill him, but to put him in prison instead. He never had a proper trial and so was still considered a leader. He also got our FAVORITE TERRORIST Solace and broke him out too because, well- Solace was an animus. They recruited a bunch of people, some by force and some by persuasion or choice and tried taking down Hawthorn. What happened? It didn't work. They all got executed, besides those who were forced to join. They were let off with a warning. Something feels off to the main group at this stage- they can't figure out what. Or maybe they just can't remember what went wrong... :)

I'm so fucking tired of typing lore so just know Brumal gets out of the abyss all mad and shit that they let someone lead when like 3000 years prior he was banished for trying, wreaks havoc, and the only way to stop him is for Cerulean to have his memories restored and use his animus magic Hawthorn basically has to explain all of what hes done in front of EVERYONE and they're all like "wtf???" and Cerulean starts to go off on Hawthorn so he's like "BRO WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW" so they take down Brumal Cerulean is so fucking pissed at Hawthorn at this stage that he nearly banishes him to the Abyss when Hawthorn impulsively just fucking murders him by stabbing him with a sharp object one of his vines picked up and he stole the animus cube back Killing the creator of it cause his animus cube and the cubes for all the tribe leaders to go corrupt. Using one puts weird purple shit on your face and also hurts whenever that happens

Abyss opens woah??? Finch returns, Lacewing returns and dies like instantly again, Vespid returns and overthrows Pantala, Scorch *might* return, Brumal is stuck since he was already let out once, More bad people escape, Massive blank space because arc 9 is underdeveloped, Hawthorn inadvertently kills himself by overuse of magic

We're still debating on what happens after he dies so yeah

## Trivia

* Hawthorn is really only called Hawthorn because 12 year old me was a little silly and goofy and decided that naming wof ocs after canon characters was a good idea and I've just been too lazy to do anything about it because i honestly dont care much
* Hawthorn used to be be shorter than Sunfire in the early stages of Asirian-
* Hawthorn has bigger wings than Sunfire (A *SkyWing*) for god knows what reason.
* In the very beginnings of Asirian, Hawthorn was originally going to be a horrible dictator and the plot was derived around Luster escaping his grasp, before he was switched to a protagonist and then back to a manipulative dictator.
* His assistant was almost a HiveWing, before it was later changed to *both* a SeaWing and an IceWing, and finally Cerulean.
