Description
Name: Zypher Temr’vin (Zyphy)Age: 20
Gender: Male
Species: Leviathan
Job: Worker -> Flower Shop Owner (so Florist???)
Talents:
Nursing - Zypher just has a way with the elderly. Since Zypher is a calm and quiet young man, he is capable of spending time with those who like to talk a lot. At the same time, Zyphy can cook most of the common dishes, so can take care of those who need it, with the help from Atrata. He can also take care of little children. Not youngsters, but children under 5. Though Zypher can only use one arm, he can handle a baby, but since his personality is a rather submissive one, Zypher may face some trouble with kids who are very smart.
Painting - Being uneducated, Zypher began to draw and paint at a very young age. Since his parents wouldn’t force him go to school, they encouraged this was of self-expression. Though Zypher was never interested in profit, he is willing to sell his paintings to anyone who’d like to buy one.
Making Jewelry - A hobby that Zyphy came across after losing the use of his left arm. It was one of the hardest things to do for Zypher, but he did his best and improved. Zyphy has no real use for jewelry, but it’s a rigorous activity that really makes him work hard. Just like painting, he’s willing to sell almost anything he creates.
Personality: Zypher is beyond antisocial. He is generally cautious of everything he sees and due to his past experiences with people he speaks quietly in order to not provoke any violent response. He often finds himself at a loss of words since his vocabulary is rather low as well as his overall knowledge. Zypher usually only speaks normally in his shop because he has to. The only creature he’s comfortable around is the critter that lives with him, Atrata. Zypher is also very embarrassed to admit his intelligence level, his disability, and his specie. Due to his confusion with races, Zypher is dreadfully fascinated by wings. This interest arose from Zypher’s eternal wish to fly, and for that sole reason, he is often willing to completely lock out the shyness and fear that he’s known for.
Once Zypher warms up to someone, he becomes quite clingy for two reasons. One reason is for protection, the other is for a companion. Zypher spent most of his time alone or with his siblings, so he lacks to understanding of privacy when it comes to non-family. His real colors often come out once he really trusts someone, at that point he is often willing to be very open with people, and that’s usually when he requests people to join him in any activity. Going to the beach is a rare occasion for Zypher, and he often asks someone to tag along. Considering how self-conscious Zypher really is, he’d only undress (as in swimming….) in the company of someone he is really close to. It’s rather easy to tell how much Zypher trusts someone because the closer he stands to the person, and the louder he speaks to that person will indicate how safe he feels around that person.
Zypher is a great listener and he can listen to anyone who needs him to listen. He doesn’t like to speak out of turn, and even if he just sits there and nods, he really IS listening.
History: Zypher’s real birth parents are unknown and he wouldn’t be able to provide any helpful information at all since he wasn’t even a year old when he was found by a family of dragons who raised him as their own. Though he was clearly different from his adopted family, Zypher always believed he was a dragon himself and this led to many peroblems that he’d face farther in life. Zypher grew up with 3 siblings and all of them were dragons, so when his sibling’s learn to fly, Zypher’d feel horrible since he didn’t have wings, only fins on his back and forearms. Being found as an infant, Zypher never knew what he really was and his only wish was to be able to fly like the kids he grew up with. Because of his appearance, Zypher wasn’t liked by the neighbors around his home and he’d stay inside unless he had to leave. Zypher grew up as a very insecure child. Though he had much time to waste, Zypher never actually attended a proper school and can’t read too well nor write.
As Zypher grew, he became more and more withdrawn from everyone around him and even though his parents were worried about him, he didn’t do anything to get better. By the age of 7, Zypher still didn’t know that he wasn’t a dragon, he believed that he was disabled and that only made him more depressed. Being lonely finally got to him when he turned 8 and he decided to find something to do. Since Zypher was unable to read too well, reading and writing were out of the question, so he tried to draw. Drawing became his way of self expression and pictures became his own way to read and write. He’d fill his room with drawing and sketched of anything that caught his eye. His parents noticed Zypher’s interest within the first month of that hobby and gave him a painting kit with many different types of paints and canvases. It wasn’t too long till Zypher filled his room and every other room in his home with painting and drawing, he pretty much slept on his own sketches.
In his teenage years, his tail and ears grew much larger and he finally began to question whether he was a dragon like his family. Though he tried to figure everything out, he couldn’t really get much information since he couldn’t read, and his parents didn’t want to tell him anything just yet. Though there were so many questions Zypher had, he stayed quiet for a long time. His youngest siblings were going to start going to school, and he’d have to walk them there every morning. Being older that two of his siblings, Zypher acted as a very protective older brother, even though he wasn’t strong not smart enough to really take on people who could possibly hurt his family. Despite him being 14, Zypher became an everyday visitor at the grade school and at least half the classes liked him. The kids were happy to be with someone who looked older but had a similar mind-set as them.With at least a slight bit of social life, Zypher seemed to be really happy, compared to his previous self at least. He began to help out at home much more and began to talk to his parents without pauses or mumbling. Within the next few years, Zypher grew rather happily, not really caring for what he was anymore.
Zypher never really took good care of himself. He’d be forced to take a saltwater bath twice a week, but he didn’t really know why, nor did he really wanted to take it. Still unaware of his true race, Zypher would often spend too much time out of water and because of that, his immune system was rather horrible. Zypher’d often come down with a horrible fever that’d sometime last weeks even with treatment and saltwater. To make things worse, Zypher was always pushing himself. Even when sick and barely able to walk, he’d still shove himself out of the bed and try to help around the house. And every time after Zypher recovered, he’d act like nothing happened, he never seemed to care how sick he was.
It wasn’t till Zypher’s younger siblings went to middle school that Zypher’s life got pretty screwed up. Withing the first month of school, his sister was bullied, and there was nothing anyone could do. He did his best to be supportive of his sister, but it didn’t seem to do any good at all. The bullying got worse as the year continued, and since Zypher was only 16, he was completely useless. Bullying turned into abuse, and his sister’d return with bruises and scratches, claiming to have gotten hurt during a sport or a game. By then, Zypher forced his sister to take him to her attacker and confronted them. The girl that was attacking his sister was just a plain student, a Hellhound though. Upon being confronted, the girl denied it and her older siblings did not take too lightly to Zypher’s attempt to protect his own sister.
Zypher was never strong, and being attacked by four hellhounds was not something he was or would ever be ready for. Only having the basic self-defense reflexes to use, Zypher was beaten fairly easily. His left arm seemed to be the main focus of the attacks, and it was ‘successfully’ broken in at least half a dozen places. While Zypher was attacked, someone went after his sister. Running away being the first response, the girl ran off. Once there was an opening chance, Zypher followed his sister and her pursuers only to find her cornered at a cliff. This sibling still didn’t fly well and her swimming abilities were even worse. With her only options being to really drown or be killed by this person, she was frozen stiff on that cliff. Having no use of his left arm at all, and the other attackers closing in, there was nothing more to do, Zypher told his sister to jump, but she didn’t. Still shocked by the situation, she was unmoved and Zypher had to push her off, falling along with her. Upon the impact of hitting the water, and the saltwater rushing into the new and still bleeding wounds, Zypher was practically paralyzed in pain. His sister was failing to swim up and it was her that snapped Zypher out of the state of shock and he managed to pull his sister to shore.
Finally returning to his home with his sister mostly unharmed, Zypher was rushed to the doctor. His arm was treated for a very long time, and nothing helped to make thing any better. The amount of damage his left arm received would leave his left arm limp and useless for the rest of his life. Though within several weeks Zypher’s arm healed externally, the muscles and bones never healed well enough to function. The best he could do was twitch his fingers and even that wouldn’t always work. Even though the arm was completely useless, the fin on his forearm seemed to be mostly alright, and because of that, he refused to allow an amputation to take place. For the next month, Zypher’d be followed by his younger sister who’d try to assist him in any way possible.
Losing the arm was a scarring experience that reverted Zypher to his original, silent personality. Zypher began to avoid the outside once again and returned to painting, though it was much harder now. With an urge to do something new, he attempted to make jewelry, and even though it was by far the hardest thing for him, he continued to work at it, getting better each time. Even with his new state, he still managed to interact with children and old people rather well, and that seemed to make Zypher at least a little better.
With Zypher reaching the age 19, it’s been three years since he lost the use if his arm and it seemed to slow him down less now. His parents figured that by now, Zypher knew what he was, but in truth he didn’t. That seemed to lose all meaning to the young man as he focused more on how to live through a decent life with only one arm. On his 19 birthday, Zypher’s parent’s told him that he was a Leviathan and told him that he could leave the house to live his life if he wanted. He wasn’t too sure of what to do, but he moved out of the family home, feeling prepared to live as an adult. Being aware that Zypher’d stuggle on his own, the family managed to send a creature with him for assistense. The creature was never really given a specie name, but the Zypher named it Atrata. She was a very smart critter and seemed to understand what Zypher needed help with (like opening a water bottle). Though his dragon family lived in a completely different region, Zypher was almost pulled towards Lumeria for some reason. With whatever money he had, he managed to buy a rent a small shop in Lumeria and opened his own flower shop. Though the profits were not too good, he chose to stick with his original plan and continued to work. He worked mainly as a traveling merchant until he got enough money to buy out the store completely and construct a greenhouse addition. The shop renovations cost Zypher practically everything, and since he had no more money to even rent a room to live in, Zypher can often be found sleeping on the greenhouse floor, or somewhere around the shop.
It’s been a year since Zypher left his home and he lived on his own with Atrata. His store isn’t popular but it brings enough money. And Zypher’s painting and jewelry can be found and sometimes even bought along with flowers and plants.
Additional Info:
- Scared of Hellhounds due to his past
- Atrata doesn’t leave Zypher’s side and serves as his left hand.
- Zypher has trouble opening bottles, paints, everything really.
- Zypher has never been in a relationship
- He’s easily startled and embarrassed.
- He often comes out at night.
- His shop is always lit by the lantern he has.
- Due to his last "depression" he is very thin and his bones are rather weak, his legs are mainly.... Because of this, he's usually a slow walker and takes small steps.
- He can move his left shouder to shrug an all...

One thing...Dragons dont live in Lumiera. That's the only problem i can see with the history of him
Dragons (like Mieua<-myvoleran) live in Elavernis...not in Lumiera. (however Mieua is a arctic feathered so she can stand the cold compared to her friend Kuk who's a Wind Dragon)
The species living in Lumiera are Unicorns, Leviathan's, moon bunnies, hell hounds? (i think neko mata's too)
So the only thing to look at would be the Dragon part of the story o.o;

Yes, I know.
In the history it said that "Even tough his dragon family lives in a different region, Zypher still went to lumeria"
it never actually speciefied where the dragn family lived, just says not Lumeria.
Thank you~
