Personality: Despite being old, Corythan prefers to keep a quiet, nomadic lifestyle. A veteran warrior, he prefers to spend his 'retirement' traveling the kingdom, train others, or offer wisdom in the form of tales to youngsters, which include both hatchlings and the younger knights and royals. He is not particularly a rude person, but he is not the gentlest dragon out there either. He is willing to offer advice to those who seek it, but sometimes that advice entails criticisms followed by the actual advice. However generous he may be, he does not feel as though he owes anyone anything. He does not see himself bound by favors if people help him with something and then expect something else in return. This causes him to come off as disrespectful, however he would never intentionally insult or be rude to royalty, even if he has outlived them. He was once a knight, and while he may be more of an archive now more than anything, he is still bound by his oath to the crown. Although he does sometimes venture out to the country-side as a nomad, other time Corythan will spend weeks in his massive cave, away from everyone. This is typically where, if he is needed, people will look first.

A massive dragon like Corythan doesn't typically have much to fear, however, Corythan is wary of humans and is not the biggest fan of water. While in any fight he can easily overcome these cautions as he is a knight and a dragon before all else, he prefers to keep away from water. In the case of humans, he would be more than happy to assist in their destruction should his services be required, and despite his old age, he is still a powerful dragon.

History (optional): A long-lived dragon and veteran of the Dragonborn-Human war, Corythan has seen and experienced a lot. He fought side by side other dragons, but watched as one by one they fell before they fled to the north. In his glory days, Corythan was not as large as he is now, but he was much faster. He seemed to embody the very element he was born with, whipping through the skies at lightning fast speeds, and unleashing torrents of lightning down upon the humans that forsook them. However, Corythan vastly underestimated the ingenuity of the much smaller species. While he flaunted about in both dragon and human form, thinking himself unstoppable, he failed to understand just how dangerous humans could actually be. Corythan's mistake was always preferring to be alone, he didn't want to be responsible for anyone else's death except his own. Corythan came face to face with a small cadre of humans that came to drive him from the lands he protected. Overconfident, he readily unleashed the power of the storm on them, driving them back and giving chase. It was too late before Corythan realized he was being led into a trap. The humans took shelter in a forest, the same forest that he charged himself with protecting, then lit it aflame. Enraged, but unable to stop it, Corythan circled the forest above, not wanting to accidentally kill the creatures inside that depended on his shelter. Then, it was here that he saw what they had in store next. Ballistas fired large, metallic arrows at him, piercing his scales. Unable to fight back, Corythan took to the clouds to hide himself, watching as the fires razed his home. It is said by humans afterwards that Corythan was so grief-stricken that his tears filled the clouds above, and put the fires out before the rest of the forest could be burned, but by the time he could come down to unleash his fury, they were already gone. The knights were praised as heroes, while the beast Corythan retreated. However, the truth is understood by Corythan, who in his moment of grief and rage, had done what few other lightning dragons could accomplish and manipulate the weather to make rain fall. But by that point it was too late, homes of creatures were burnt down, charred corpses littered the afflicted area. Corythan, humbled by his defeat, chose to retreat, so as to not bring more harm to his lands.

Personality: Once upon a time, Talissa was a rather childish girl. She was, at one point, reckless and irresponsible, and lived up to her kind as a trickster. She loved to play pranks on her father, and had a irrepressible positive outlook on life, a life where there were no consequences. However, after the events of the war, Talissa's personality changed drastically. Not the flamboyant little girl that she once was, Talissa matured and became more humble. She was not as reckless and irresponsible as she once was, and did a marvelous job at keeping herself in check if she ever got urges to just throw what she was doing out the window and be silly. However, even after her newfound maturity, Talissa still retains her good sense of humor and overall optimistic behavior, though albeit with some more skeptical undertones than once before. Talissa is also kind, but she can be rather blunt, a trait that unfortunately comes with her observational skills. She will, if necessary, speak truthfully even if it may hurt some feelings, as she sees the only way to get her point across is to be completely honest and without deceit. Despite this, she is not quick to anger and easy to get along with, and she'll even sometimes get to the point that if you become good friends with her she won't be afraid to tease and pick on you.

Talissa absolutely loves the stars, and will often spend nights outside looking up. She even taught herself most, if not all, of the constellations and spends her star-gazing sessions trying to 'interpret' them. In truth she always wanted to be a prophet, but being a trickster makes her unable to be one. Still, despite the lack of true omens from the stars, she still finds inspiration in them sometimes. She will often paint landscapes where the stars are prominent, like a winter night, or something similar. Other than inspiration for her artistry, the cool air and the solitude gives her time to think, and it is during this time she is able to accomplish the most if she's sitting on an issue that needs to be resolved.

History (optional): Talissa was still young when the war started, and her father, wanting to keep her safe, kept her away and told her to stay hidden. However, Talissa at the time was still an adventurous little girl, and ventured out when her father was gone one day, as no one was left to stop her due to her mother's death shortly after her birth. Talissa didn't completely think that humans were vicious dragon killers, so the danger of coming too close was not fully seared into her brain. She ventured into a forest nearby, jumping around and playing with the pixies, shimmering alongside them, her glowing, multi-colored hair seemingly weightless as she skipped around. After hours of nonsensical silliness, all the creatures around her suddenly vanished. Confused, Talissa tried to coax them back out, but no one would listen. Then, an eye peeped out from behind a tree. Filled with her youthful glee, Talissa skipped towards the figure behind the tree, shouting out if they wanted to join her in a game. The figure turned out to be a human boy. Unafraid, Talissa restated her question, to which the boy accepted. They skipped around and played for hours, before the sound of horses drew near. The boy's village had come looking for him. Unfortunately for Talissa, her shimmering appearance and multi-colored, long hair made her stick out. She was barely able to introduce herself to them before they grabbed their weapons and gave chase. Fear setting in her heart, she changed herself to match her surroundings and hid. From afar she could see the boy being roughly dragged home, and felt sorry. Talissa tailed the soldiers back to their village, but was unable to go in without the risk of being imprisoned, or worse.

Talissa continued to come back to the village every so often for years, just observing. She wanted to see her friend again and hoped he would escape. But he never came back out. After learning to control her appearance to a better degree so that she could pass off believably as normal human girl, she ventured inside. She searched for her friend, but when she found him she was disappointed. Rather than be ecstatic to see the friend he made years ago, the grown man reacted to her presence with fear and disgust, tainted by the hatred of dragons that was strewn about the village. She didn't return again, and it was then that it dawned on her the folly of humans. They would betray an old friend just because they weren't the same species, not because one did something bad to the other.

Weapons: A dagger kept hidden in her gown

Skills: Swordplay, Subterfuge (If ever necessary, like spying), Traps (Which are evolved from old pranks)

Abilities: Illusion Casting (She's more about altering her surroundings with illusions), and also a type of shapeshifting in where rather than becoming a different animal or sorts, she can change factors of her own body such as eye color, hair color (She is often depicted having multi-colored hair during the day), skin tone, etc. Though she is not limited to just this, as she can make body parts different from each other, like making one arm a deer hoof and her legs as a snake or fish, etc. However this flexibility is not as prominent in dragon form, as she can not simply become another type of dragon, but she can still alter parts of her appearance to be more... odd or 'mystical.'
