Description "Demons can be noble too" (c)

An expanded version of the previous reference. I've updated the old file as it bugged me.

Music theme: Cliff Lin - This Is War [link]

Personality and backstory:
In youth: A merciless beast who came from Abeiriat, a demon world, out of curiousity. He could easily kill any dragon he saw in his way, often he devoured their meat and hearts; however he ate only males, while females were victims of his "charm" (oh yeah, 'xxx'). He never touched kids though.
Later: He was a caring mate, who never could understand why he was given such a happiness. After his mate's death his life became empty, so he seeked for battles and gladly joined all fights he could (he learned a spell for transformation). Asakurei decided to live as a "human", rarely, a few times per month going on hunt alone and taking his real form far away from cities.
Accidentally he met his son, about whom he didn't know (oh yeah, that's Kuramento). Atm the demon dragon acts as noble warrior (in a human society), as a loving and "obsessed" father (pity for Kuramento), as a wise, experienced elder dragon. His lust for kills is gone.

Weaknesses
- holy objects;
- light (as energy, from light beings);
- his unwillingness to show his real form to people (not that he would be killed...);
- his son ("precious gift").

Other facts
- dark fire is very dangerous for light beings;
- dark fire harms even fire-"proof" dragons, often the burns look like a mix of acid and fire "effects";
- he prefers to fight with claws, blades and teeth;
- his "powers" are dark magic and dark fire/normal fire;
- like any other demon, he has a regeneration ability, but it can heal only broken bones/wounds, he won't grow a new tail or head;
- he knows Zosimus and even teaches him dark magic a bit, but they know each other only in their human forms;
- he has a horse named Kiba who tasted his blood.
-I'll add more if I recall-

Human form
I have no reference for it myself as I can't draw humans well, but there is a work of how he could look [link]
I promise to re-do his face someday as it's scary.

Demonic ranks
All demons of Abeiriat have ranks.

-Lesser demons are the weakest. They have no special powers, so they fight with claws and teeth. Some can be immune to fire (Quello and Questro, for example).

-Average demons usually have some abilities like fire, magic or other. Automatically all demonic dragons are born with this rank, but may grow higher. Demons of this rank and higher possess demonic claws which are often attached to the finger bones (impossible to take off). Demonic claws are stronger than dragon teeth/horns/claws/spikes, so even one is a dream of every dragon hunter. The only disadvantage is that they slow down, because of their length and form. Average demons who know magic can learn how to turn the claws into normal.

-High ranked demons have mastered their abilities + acquire the ability to take a human form. Some skilled average demons can do it, too, but they use magic while high ranked can do it without any spell, just by will. Demons of this rank and higher can change the claw shape to a normal one without magic as well.

-Emperor's "favourites"/Elite are the best of high ranked, often with unique powers. Their number is no more than 50, and any new "candidate" has to fight a volunteer from the "elite". If it wins, it becomes a new "favourite", if not - stays the high ranked.

-The Emperor is the most powerful demon. The current one is rumoured to be able to control movements of any creature.

---
Асакурей, папа Кураменто, темный дракон.
Получил прозвище "благородный" за то, что часто строит из себя аристократа + за то, что ненавидит демонов ниже его [ранга].

Крылья предпочитает такие, объясняя это тем, что "они похожи на крылья падшего ангела". Их размах регулируется.

Слабости: свет (как элемент), святые предметы...и Кураменто. Рядом с Кураменто он ведет себя как довольный кот, постоянно пытается приласкать.

Темное пламя (темно-фиолетовый + черный) и темная магия.

Adored his new ref! really cool!
you drew him very different, but still looking cute somehow (the little fallen angel XD) but a dangerous cute thing
i loved the new information all looks better than it already was!
Asakurei is a beautiful dragon for sure! i adore him

Somehow I draw him more as an angry kitten [link] xD
Now he's even elegant, hehe :3
I tend to come up with ideas for characters at random, no wonder Asakurei got so much information
Thank youuu

Oh wow you updated him! Gosh, how much you have improved XD I think he looks so much more handsome than in his last ref now, his face is very nice :3
The general stance is looking much nicer now he is not leaning backwards! I also love his proportions, they are pretty perfect to me :3 Those wings look so cool, I love the idea that they are like dark-fiery substance, and the fact that he can change the shape is great feature! I think the general size of the ref is really nice too, not too small but not too large! really well done ^^ I love it!

RusCSI In reply to Sezaii [2012-10-26 07:56:26 +0000 UTC]

He was chubby there [link] xD He looks more elegant now, like a proud aristocrat demon dragon <3
His original design had flaming bird-like wings [link] , but I made them to be able to change a shape as not everyone can do feathered wings well, and, well, nobody will attack me with his wings being too small or too big as the length can be controlled too xD
I told you I'm not a fan of large refs with small letters, hehe :3 Perhaps I'll keep this ref size for others.

Thank you.

Sezaii In reply to RusCSI [2012-10-26 17:42:37 +0000 UTC]

oh yes, I agree! Its because his neck is now much slimmer, and his general physique looks much more eye-pleasing ^^ haha, yea, feathered wings are hard, your right, not many people draw them right, but it just takes time, gosh, look at my wing drawings about two years ago XD they are hardly recognisable!

I prefer to draw them as normal feathered wings with some fire [link] [link] c: I'd better call it "dark energy" as darkness is kinda... an absence of light

Svartyan approves, welcome to the dark side! >: D
i really like Asakurei's design, especially those dark energy wings *3* never saw a dragon with wings like that, it's really interesting! :U
also his glowing marks are really cool and he has a great combination of colors!

RusCSI In reply to Svartya [2012-01-26 04:24:13 +0000 UTC]

Pff yes >D
I was lazy to do normal feathered wings, so I did them this way (plus I cannot draw feathered wings well ) c: I have seen a dragon with similar type of wings, but they were blue-black mix...still it happened after the first drawing of Asakurei with such wings.
He was based of Kuramento, because I always do things not like normal people: if normal people have a couple of dragons and draw a hatchling then, I do vice versa
Thank you :3

Ooo yay his ref As you know I love this OC :3 I really like his colouration and markings. His wings are really interesting too! Purple and black are always really great colours for a bad-ass dragon XD Which is why I chose them for Vepa's form :3 Great character, can't wait to see more of him :3

RusCSI In reply to Sezaii [2012-01-25 12:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you :3 Purple and black are always badass, purple is an imperial colour and black is a colour of darkness <3
Asakurei was based off Kuramento's possible demon form, lol

I've got a little AU story with him and Kuramento, if you want I can give you a link :3

Now I have one more complex character for trades

Oh yes. The most interesting fact about him is that he was created differently. You know, many people have a pair of dragons and draw their hatchling(s), this was vice versa xD The same thing applies to Io and Davairen's parents xD
