Description Alzahar, Dragon Deity of the Shadowy Void

Specifics:
Alzahar is a Dragon Deity that controls and lives within the void that exists in between realms (i.e. in between the realm of the heavens and hells and the mortal plane), and if he is in his physical form, it is usually in space.

Alzahar has 6 eyes, 6 legs, 6 wings, 2 legs, and head and tail. He has a large gash running from the inside of his right arm to his far left thigh, a tear through his very being that he created himself as a mistake of using too much of his power at once. After spending several millennia in deep hibernation safe in his realm, he has once again awakened by an offering of his creations.

Alzahar's main form is about 20 miles long, but he must remain in his shadow form to maintain this length (unless he is in space), as the sheer force of gravity would tear him asunder if he were to remain physically on a planet. If he were to be in his physical midway form, it would be about 700ft tall and 1,200ft long. He also has a humanoid reptile form that is 12ft. tall, that includes his head, two arms, two legs, and his tail. 

1. His full dragon form. Most of his horns glow with his iconic green glow, which is the color of his blood and his direct attack of choice. It does not show that his maw is glowing until he opens his mouth, but usually stores some of his acid in the small sac under his jaw before his underbelly scale armor. He has 6 legs, but the frontal ones are the most prominent. Usually the other four are wrapped under his belly and tucked in on themselves as they hide from view. Alzahar is an ancient deity and enjoys crafting, using his 4 smaller arms to craft his creations usually.

2. His color scheme. The three greys on the left portray his shadow, regular, and highlighted scale color. The next two colors are his horn colors and the shadows for them, and the last one is the bright green acid color of his blood and acidic spray.

3. Frontal view of Alzahar's maw, open and glowing with his acid.

4. Frontal picture of Alzahar's cracked mirror that hovers over his head. It cracked through completely and is irreparable, a symbol of how his very soul was torn with his mistake.

5. A picture of the tear from an underneath point of view, with his inner arms curled underneath his chest.

6. A picture of Alzahar's 6 eyes. These eyes can all view different directions without feeling disoriented and when he melds in the shadows, usually he only shows his vibrant green eyes to terrify and surprise his foes.

7. Footprints of his two types of legs. The smaller print is of his inner hands, the 4 smaller claws, and the larger print is of his main claws at his frontal hands and rear legs.

Personality and History:
Alzahar is a loner, and in his own personal way, a coward, but that is not common knowledge. He prefers his own quiet spaces versus listening or dealing with others, although he has a few deity children that he made that he will always listen to, despite them being... Er, temperamental with their power. His children also had the ability to create, as it was his favorite passion, but they went too far and set the realms of the living, the dead, and the in between into unbalance. It is this reason, that Alzahar gave the worlds an even boundary, even ways to combat the others should they all fight again, and it was in fixing this mistake of his children's that his soul was torn asunder. When he did this, he fell into a state of deep subconscious in his void realm, basically living in a coma. He could communicate mildly through thought and he could feel the agony of his soul and body torn open, but there was nothing he could do about it, and fears that the madness of pain and time will get to him eventually, which leaves him very manipulative into not giving away his agenda.

Alzahar is quiet and moody, but this is because of the guilt and shame he carries. He loves his children very much, but view their creations as "lesser" beings and often will not see to them with the same respect that he offers his children. Despite his love for them, he is shamed by their brash mistake and suffers for their mistakes dearly with his sheer pain of his torn soul and the fact that he is weak and has not been around for many millennia. He will never admit to this however, because the love for his children he wishes to keep to them without interference. Some of his children, through his absence, have become corrupted as well, and now he wonders if he should re-create them purely or try to get them to change, or simply kill them entirely like one would a dying branch off a thriving plant. 

Powers and Abilities:
Alzahar's main element is Darkness. Synonymous in most cases to what I call "the void". His favorite thing to do is Shadowmeld into darkness and travel through the lack of light. Anywhere there is a shadow large enough for him to step into, he can meld with, essentially becoming invisible or unnoticeable to most. This is his preferred state when observing others and is his usual route for running away, as he is a big coward, in denial about many things. He is able to open the tear in his body physically, whether he is in his humanoid, midway, or full form, and inside is his own void, almost like a physical manifestation of his own mind and in between realm. In a way, it is a protected prison for certain objects, potential dangers, and is often used for transport or punishment as it is nearly impossible to escape on one's own without his will.

His second element is acid. This can be called poison, venom, acid, you name it. It is the blood that runs through him, but since he doesn't require breathing, there is no need for actual oxygenated cells to pump through, letting him control it at will. If he wants to attack you, he will use his acidic roar to spray an area or frontal cone with it, and it will attach and slowly eat away at what it hits. It only burns for about 5 minutes before it will stop reacting with the environment so as not to cause major damage, as it is more of a fear tactic and very painful in small amounts in order to try and stop any conflict by pushing his foes away, so to speak.

Thanks for enjoying! Will add more to his personality soon, as well as his humanoid reptilian form hopefully

Many, many thanks to the ever talented, very dear friend of mine, for her help redlining and for giving me the impetus and desire to create a much needed new character, as well her constant help through these last few difficult weeks. Thank you!   

Please, Enjoy!

Alzahar is meticulous, but in general tries to avoid confrontation. He's not afraid to speak his mind though! Haha. He's really just a big softy who's just afraid that's he's falling into madness. He's quite the character otherwise

Thank you though, hehe, he's been a treat to design!
