NAME: Aliruth
AGE: 18 Turns
COLOR: Brown
RIDER: T'mang
RANK: Wingrider (Gale Wing)
SPEAKING COLOR: b63d01
APPEARANCE: Aliruth is, physically, a lovely specimen of a brown. Large and thick, just the kind of creature you'd see supporting a wing as the full-stamina powerhouse. He's on the larger side of the brown scale, and bulky enough to back that up. His legs are short, and his body is long, with a chunky, fat tail and thick stubby little legs. He waddles hilariously when he waks over land, but somehow he manages to sail through the skies like a chubby little songbird, round with wide, short wings. His wings are on the small side, so while he's not without grace, he's also not particularly aerobatic. Not in small part because he's also kind of fat. There is muscle under that chub, but he's a roly-poly beastie. His rider catches flak for not minding his diet better, but his wingmates and werylingmates can affirm Aliruth has always been a bit tubby.
And hey, for ll that it seems, he is quite capable of lumbering along, slow and steady.
His base hide is a nice burnt orange color, with a dark umber on his legs and under his throat, and up his wing arms. His flanks and shoulders are dusted in dark maroon red, as is the leading sail of his wings. His thick tail is marked by little alternating stripes of lighter red-tan, and the dark shade on his legs. He's very fond of twisting this big til around things or people he likes, and while it's not small, it's quite emotive and flexible. Lastly, his face- Aliruth has a lovely pale cream mask on his face, circling his eyes with swooping curves on his cheeks and headknobs, and over his eyes and muzzle, making his eyes look large and dark no matter what he does. Which is nice, and he thinks it makes him look very wise.
At 62 feet, he is on the large end of the brown scale, but he is also very short, and longer than he is tall.
MINDVOICE: Aliruth's voice is very sweet, and a little sticky. He talks very softly and with very polite, quiet enunciation. He's not hard to hear, but his voice is very relaxing. His rider says it reminds him of sticky sweet rice and dumplings, and it becomes salty and very bitter and sour when the chubby brown is agitated or angry, like sour soup. It's always warm and slightly steamy like lifting a pot lid off hot food, a puff of something warm and delicious marking the presence of the soft-spoken brown. The brown's mindvoice is very much communicated in smells and flavors. T'mang doesn't mind at all, and has learned how to tell what flavors (even ones neither of them have ever personally tasted, somehow) mean what attitudes. So Aliruth talks in soup, whatever. T'mang stopped finding it strange about five seconds in, and that's all that matters.
ABILITIES
AGILITY: 2
SPEED: 3
ENDURANCE: 7
PERSONALITY: Sweet, soft, gentle, wise, considerate, ponders life a lot, really really really likes to eat.
Aliruth hatched hungry, and hat never really went away. If he had his way, he would be nibbling on something yummy all the time. He's fond of trying to steal snacks from his rider, or whoever is around, and he's a common sight near new candidates, putting on big sad dragon eyes and trying to convince them to share tidbits he shouldn't be eating, like bread or bubbly pies or his favorite- roast tubers. But it helps he's really a very sweet lad, happy with the world in general, and nothing pleaseshim more than sitting in warm sand in the sun with a full belly, contemplating life. Or napping. He's soft-spoken, but he's very gentle and kind, and a sad face or upset passerby will draw his attention, and he's a little unusual in the fact that he's happy to talk to others outside of his bonded, curious about the entire world and eager to learn and talk to people who are different from himself and T'mang. While not a take-charge creature, he's very considerate, and his politeness and gentle nature make him a calming creature to be around. He's just reassuring, and always there to offer a soft shoulder to someone who needs it. And he's clever, for a dragon. Not the snappy fast clever, but the kind that looks at a problem from all angles, and waits for the calm break in the discussion of tactics before pointing out something he has noticed. He might never come up with a solution immediately, but puzzle over something enough, and eventually a solution will come to you, he thinks.
He's not easy to anger, and his laid-back attitude matches his rider's to a t. He has no true ambitions in life, but if a chance for his own progression arises, he will truck towards it with his determined, steady pace, like everything else. While he may not win the race on speed, his turtle mentality works for him. Still, he has no delusions of grandeur, and if someone else deserved something more than he, honestly, he would help them achieve that goal. He is very focused and goal-oriented when he put his mind to things. He just also tends to be very, very selective of the things deserving his mind being put to them. He might have a bit of a lazy streak if not properly motivated.
