Tor

**Tor** is an adult Sandwing who attends the Nightwing University and is Petrichor's roomate.

## Appearance

A sandwing of average height with a strong build and tan scales. Tor has many dark freckles across his body, particularly on the face and shoulders. His sail and wing membranes are light grey, fading to black at the tips. He has three stripes of more saturated orange from snout to tail, evenly spaced along his back and sides. He has several healed scars from claws, bites, tail barbs and firebreath.

## Personality

Tor is two things. A strong, stoic dragon, who can be relied on. And a fearful child, who was pushed too hard and broke. Tor presents a confident face. He tries to make friends with everyone and participate in every event. On the surface, he appears to be the perfect dragon. This is a facade that he wears to hide his fear. Tor rarely relaxes, always on edge. When he does, he gets very interested in whatever he is doing and who he is with. He tries very hard to keep his mind off of his past, and avoid being sad.

Tor hatched into a military family on the south of the sand kingdom. HIs parents were often patrolling the borders, so he and his brother, Monadnock usually had to fend for themselves. Their parents taught them how to fight and hunt, but that didn’t help much when a group of thieves attacked the small village. Aware they were outnumbered even with the rest of the village, Monadnock urged Tor to escape. At first, he refused, staying to fight, but he was soon forced to leave or die, and he flew east across the border. He continued across the jade republic until he was sure that he wasn’t being followed, and rested on the outskirts of the nation. Unsure of where to go, he wandered the republic for a season, taking odd jobs where he could and hunting for himself. He was entirely disconnected from his previous life, but he realized that perhaps, that could be a good thing. His parents had always expected him to follow in their talonprints, and no longer did he have to. At last, he could pursue his true passions. One bright side to a horrible experience. He applied to the Night City University, just barely passed the entrance exam, and set out for a new life.
