 *—Rin*

**Rin**, better known by the fear-instilling name **Rinagaikaiyaki** (里永灰焼), is a dragon of psychic origins. He has an infamous reputation amongst humans for being a greedy, treasure-stealing, human-eating, terrorizing menace.

## Biography

Rin had a very peculiar birth, of which the circumstances were so unlikely that it is a miracle he was born at all.

Rin scarcely retains any of his early memories, even forgetting that he was born into a large clutch. He was not raised with his siblings, although was close with them when they did meet (which he does not remember).

* (TBC) However, according to his siblings, their mother once took him to a training area, but was ambushed by hunters and died in combat. Since he was so young, he did not know his way home. For many centuries, he aimlessly roamed the region of Oswos—which, unfortunately and coincidentally, was not home to many dragons. Eventually, he was adopted by a pack of wolves. When he outlived that clan, he searched for other dragons.

Eventually, Rin discovered that he did, indeed, have siblings; however, they had been living as a tight-knit family without him. The eldest claimed that they did not remember him since he was raised so far from the rest of them. Regardless, Rin was extremely hurt and did not want anything to do with them for many years.

## Lore

* His name "Rin" originally came from his more well-known name (amongst humans) "Rinagaikaiyaki" but eventually became it's own name with it's own character (only used amongst dragons)

## Appearance

### Human Form

In his default human form, Rin [hair, eyes]

He has pale skin and a lean physique.

Most often, he prefers to dress comfortably—consisting of a simple black shirt and sweats —but has shown to have good style when he chooses. Regardless of the outfit, he is always seen with his signature shades either resting on his nose, pushed up into his hair, or clipped to his shirt.

## Personality

Rin has consistently been shown to be quite the emotional and often moody character. He has poor control over his moods and is at the mercy of his own outbursts and grumpiness.

* Rin has substantial self-respect and does not tolerate any effort to humiliate him.
* Rin attaches emotionally to others very easily.
* Extremely greedy, territorial, and protective.
* Constantly up for fights and constantly engages in duels, whether the other wants to or not.

## Relationships

## Trivia

* Rin's character themes are loss, attachment, and greed.
* Rin's flower is the scarlet beebalm. It symbolizes "good health and protection against evil and illness."
* Rin comes from a clutch of 9 hatchlings, being the 4th oldest.
* Rin's psychic magic is quite feared since the only limitations to elements (especially psychic) is one's moral compass, which Rin lacks in relation to his magic. Therefore, he has no trouble using the more morally questionable psychic abilities of mind control and manipulation.
* His name "Rin" originates from "Rinagaikaiyaki," which only makes sense when romanized.
* In his human form, Rin growls in his sleep.
* Rin is a skilled barterer and has extensive knowledge on business and trade, which likely comes from the exchanges he would make with stolen loot.
* Rin has been dubbed as the "quintessential red dragon," or the living embodiment of the red dragon stereotype (despite, ironically being a fire dragon).
