POSITIVE:

Trait1 > Hard-working. When he becomes focussed on a task, he will do whatever it takes- within his power to get it completed with excellence. He is very hard to distract from his work once he is doing it.

Trait2 > Vigilant. He is always on guard, and always prepared for anything. He has quick reflexes and can notice things quite quickly and easily, as well as catching flying items. Though, with the absence of his right leg, he cannot do it much while on all fours.

Trait3 > Caring. This might come as a surprise to most who meet him, but deep down, he really does care for the safety, well-being and education of his students and peers. He is just now very good at expressing his care in a beneficial way.

NEUTRAL:

Trait1 > Dignified. He carries himself with pride and confidence, knowing that if anything came his way, he would be able to handle it. He knows how to look regal and professional to intimidate possible enemies.

Trait2 > Moody. It is easy to get him to change his tone from peaceful and calm to outraged in a matter of minutes. Many students in his past have made competitions to see who can get him to roar at them the loudest, and quickest.

Trait3 > Strict. He follows the rules and will make sure all of his students and peers do so as well. If a student or teacher is acting out of line and no one is acting against it, he will always take it upon himself to call them out and to punish them.

NEGATIVE:

Trait1 > Rude. He always has to say what is on his mind, and he often focuses on talking about negative traits, even if they aren't fully true. He often insults dragons he doesn't like, and even those he does like.

Trait2 > Ruthless. He cannot give less of a damn about how his students feel when he is dragging them by the ear outside of class to be punished in a way that he sees is necessary. Misbehaving dragonets must atone for their actions.

Trait3 > Bitter. He holds grudges, gets salty and permanently angry at someone for seemingly minor things that deep down, do affect him greatly. If you wrong him or hurt him in any way, physical or mental, he will not let you live it down.

LIKES >> Quiet, Peace, Order, Scavengers, Scrolls, Learning new things, Warmth, Justice, Work, Setting fire to stuff, Knowledge, Chicken

DISLIKES >> Loud noises, Distracting noises, Most students, Noise, Chaos, Misbehaviour, Dragons talking about his scars, Fights

SECRETS:
> His fear and allergy of bees
> He often has the urge to say 'Back in my day'
> Really likes socks and other knitted clothing (His wife loves to knit)
> He loves puns but hates admitting so

FEARS:
> Gladiator fights
> Poor decisions being his or other's downfall
> Bees (He's deathly allergic)
> Becoming irrelevant

WISHES/DREAMS:
> To educate the world and to eradicate ignorance
> To own an animus-touched object

Baby Dragonet > From the get-go, it seemed that little Vulture, born to Martial and Chaco, would be a rowdy, rebellious and feisty dragonet. It was immense work that the parents had to go through to keep their youngest son under control. He was born with already two older sisters, Harpy and Kite who didn't often fit in with him. During the nursery times, Harpy and Kite would be talking to their friends about stuff that Vulture wasn't interested in, so he tried to make his very own friends, with older SkyWings to impress his family.

Dragonet > Vulture stayed friends with his higher-age friends, and they often roughhoused as their way of passing the time of the days. They pretended to be gladiators, like Vulture's dad, Martial, who was also known as the Red Death. They'd take turns being the announcer, the two fighters and the audience. The only thing that was fake about the matches though was the size of the audience. They all got many cuts and bruises, but since Vulture was small and delicate compared to them, he got the worst of it.

His parents did know, and Chaco often warned him that fighting bigger dragons than he was not only unfair, but could be harmful to his health, and might cause severe and permanent damage. Though, being a young, rebellious kid, Vulture didn't listen, and continued fighting, taking on bigger and meaner SkyWing kids. One day, he challenged a dragon twice his size to a fight. Not very surprisingly, he lost. Not only did he lose the battle, but he gained many bad cuts, and his leg was mangled and almost torn off. Thankfully, an adult dragon noticed and carried him to a healer to patch him up. They had to remove his right leg, and what was left was a scar on his chest, but he made a significant recovery.

Vulture stopped hanging out with those dragons, even though the dragon who injured him apologised and claimed he got carried away, he ignored them and avoided them. Before then, he was a rebellious dragon who dreamed of glory and fame from fighting in battles. While in class one day, he began thinking, about how his handicap would not allow him to compete efficiently. That's when he looked up, and saw his teacher, explaining a concept to him that he had never known about before. It was then he realised that he respected knowledge and wisdom, and admired his teachers for those qualities.

He wanted that. He tried to teach dragonets not to do what he did, To show them how to make the right decisions.

Young Adult > Once he left school, he went off to study the fine art of being not only a good teacher but the best teacher ever. He wanted as many chances as he could get to teach children across the two continents and to eradicate ignorance as if it were a disease. Over his young adult life, he spent as much time as possible reading up and studying teaching methods for every subject he could think of, except for Combat, for obvious reasons, and for the items in the art department, because he does not want to restrict young creative minds that could solve the world's problems one day.

He applied to as many jobs as he could, teaching as many dragonets as he could, showing the world what he could accomplish.

Adult > His first job was as a science teacher at a SkyWing school. Then, he got relocated to Jade Mountain academy to teach Literacy for a few years. After that job, he went to a new school and so forth. That was his life for many years, hopping between different schools, teaching students of all ages varying subjects. It was a good life for him, and he developed a good routine by keeping students in check.

One of the notable things that happened during this time was, a small SilkWing he was teaching, accidentally slammed his tail in the door of the classroom. When he got to the infirmary after class, he met a new LeafWing nurse named Zelkova. This LeafWing proved to be very interesting, fun to talk to and loved making sassy comebacks to his insults, and they became fast friends. Over a long time of laughs and jokes and awkward moments, they had fallen in love and gotten married with two eggs. Those eggs hatched into two beautiful dragonets which they named Autumn and Maple.

To this day, his children and subsequent grandchildren are the only dragons he refuses to insult.

Old Age > In his old age, his two children spread their wings and left the nest, his son, Maple bringing them a granddaughter from an IceWing, Sleet. His family still visit him, but he does enjoy being alone with his wife. One of the ladies of the SilkWing hive he worked at heard about his teaching ability and recommended him to Queen Esmerelda, who suggested him to Grandmaster Merlin. He sent a letter, and the pair of them moved to the Isle Mezzo, he was sorted into Order of the Ancients (Which he took offence to at first) and took the job as Maths teacher at Pyrrhia-Pantala University.

DRAGONETS >
>> Autumn- Daughter, a primarily LeafWing appearing SkyWing hybrid, appearing similar to a leaf during fall, or Autumn.
