my favorite (and only) edgy cishet boy. this is him as an older less edgy man

Deathmoon. My, my, Deathmoon. Born under three dark moons, the lone survivor of a flood that destroyed his hatchery, Deathmoon was seen as an omen of death by his village. When it became clear that the moons had given him the strange power of past sight – the ability to read the past (and sordid secrets) of all his peers, he was only ostracized further. All he had left was his mom and honing his pastsight. Soon he got so good at it that he was able to see thousands of years into the past, and with strong precision. It may not have been as flashy as mindreading or future sight, but he could know everything that happened in the past. He could see the history of this stupid town and its miserable repetition – events repeating since its founding, and nothing interesting ever happening. He wanted out.
So when a dubious letter from one Fox of the SandWings for a school for "Antagonists and Protagonists" came by, he jumped on the opportunity to get out of his nowhere town. He was, of course, sorted into "Antagonist" and given free rein of the place. The school was underfunded, understaffed, and did nothing to resist his dreams of coming out on top. Using the secrets of his peers and the help of his new girlfriend, a master thief, he was able to steal an enchanted ring from one of the Protagonists, that his past sight had told him was from the IceWing's animus treasury.
It was, of course, the Gift of Vision. Opal took one spectral look at Deathmoon, and realized that she had to stick around to ensure he got the Magic Ray of Character Development too, or this guy would antagonist himself off a cliff. She usually Character Developed IceWing princesses, but she'd make an exception here.
She did not show him visions of dragons he'd wronged or (for lack of a better word) dehumanized. He was young, and he hadn't done that much wrong yet.
Instead she showed him visions of dragons who had power, the power to do whatever they wanted and control their lives completely, who had shown up in history or his visions. And then she showed him that they were all deeply unhappy dragons. That power was never enough, fame was never enough, fear of the masses was never enough. And then she showed him dragons who everyone hated or thought were evil, and how they had spat in the faces of everyone calling them a curse and lived good lives. And she told Deathmoon that he could use his gift to find reasons to care about others, and that an antagonist was not always a villain.
And then she sent him on his way. He woke up to the ring gone, back in the Forbidden Treasury. He decided to fix this stupid school. He and his little posse got together and took over the school, and worked together to make it actually habitable. He became a librarian and then a teacher. They ditched the whole "Antagonists and Protagonists" thing and just focused on teaching the kids to be good to each other.
He and his thief girlfriend didn't last; she went back to her kingdom and they kept in contact, but only as friends. He had a few more flings through the years, but none of them lasted. His truest love was a dragon who lived on the moons, who he fell for after she checked out some books from his library, but was perhaps the only other dark-moon enchanted dragon in existence. Perhaps, one day, they could be together. But even if they couldn't, it was fine.
He had many friends and many students, and that was enough for him.
