Lotusy said:William & Strad
Name:
William Brigid (Will)
Age:
25
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Straight
Which Kingdom you're from:
Diarta
Personality:
Though William is a healer, his personality suggests otherwise. Instead of a calm, cool demeanor, he's energetic, bubbly, and quick to the point. He's optimistic and cheerful, never one to get down. The young man is very nerve-driven and jittery, not a guy you would want pulling a sword from your back or sealing your wound. However, even with his nerves, he's always trying to be nice to his patients. If you're not a patient though, make sure to bring a few earplugs - he'll talk your ear off, and then some.
Powers:
While on the outside, William's power seems to be healing, that's actually not quite the case. Instead, his power comes from knowledge and a bit of plant manipulation magic. To heal someone, he'll simply gather the plants he needs, feed them to his patient, and amplify their magic properties in order to cleanse the body, stitch wounds, or even regrow teeth! Besides healing, William can manipulate small parts of plants like vines or the branches of a tree, though at the expense of most of his stamina.
Appearance:
Sorry about this picture! I know you wanted realistic, but I couldn't find a picture of a smiling blonde boy that was energetic/not Niall Horan.
Biography/History:
Will was born William Johnson Brigid, second child of three children born to two apothecaries in traveling merchant group. Every season, the group would complete a circuit, giving William an experience not many other children would get. At the age of six, his parents started him on the long road of herbalism. Granted, a humble herbalist was all he would have been if he had not met Strad. After his first encounter with the dragon (elaborated in the other section), William's small pool of magic was tapped into, and a whole new reserve of energy and knowledge accompanied him even after he left Strad. His new ideas, planted by Strad, brought his family a new type of fortune, through magic healing combined with plants. Every month, when his family passed by Strad's forest, he would secretly stop by for a night to try and learn even more. By the age of eighteen, he'd earned enough respect from his elders to set out on his own. However, instead of setting out as a merchant, he settled down around a certain forest in Diarta... inhabited by a certain dragon. For six years, he studied herbs and magic under the tutelage of Strad. Recently, both Will and Strad have decided to answer Ashanti and D'Mago's call, setting off as a dragon and a rider to protect their homeland.
Dragon's name:
Unknown, nicknamed "Strad" by William.
Age:
Somewhere over several hundred years.
Gender:
Male
Personality:
Strad is a perfect foil to William. While the youth is still hot-tempered and refined, Strad's had enough years on the earth to set him in his place. He's always the cool temper of the two, keeping William from doing anything too rash. While Will may see them as equals, Strad feels more like a teacher to the young man.
As a dragon alone, Strad is extremely old. He barely remembers anything past this century, and the only memories he keeps are ones about plants and music. He's not quite wise, but he is cautious and knowledgeable.
Appearence:
Powers:
While the usual dragon breathes fire, Strad has a different type of magic. Instead of a torrent of flame, the dragon instead weaves magical music with special properties. Some cause battle rages, some lull people to sleep, others even remove pain! William's favorite is a song that causes certain plants to appear based on the final notes.
How William met Strad:
Eighteen years ago, a young boy stepped, foot by foot, into a lush, winding green forest. The boy in question was William, of course. The small, then seven-year-old was attracted by a beautiful low humming. When he first encountered Strad, the dragon gave him a quick look before going back to humming. William only got closer to the dragon, his youthful curiosity overwhelming every other instinct telling him to run. He sat, listening for a full hour, before Strad decided to stop. The dragon and the small boy exchanged only a few words, but they were powerful ones. Powerful enough to stop a dragon from hurting the tiny human boy in front of him. No one besides the two will ever know what they were. Before William decided to look for a way home, Strad tapped his head, implanting a vast knowledge of herbs, an affinity with plant magic, and directions back to his forest. Whatever words were exchanged there, they secured a steadfast friendship for years to come.
Accepted! Looks great. Love the dragon~
