Name: - Gryfendel
Age:- 15500 yrs old.
Gender: - Male
Skills:
Fire breath~ His breath is one skill that he does not use often as it has the ability to incinarate anything in its path, even rock and dragon scale. He uses it only as a last resort or if he is extremely mad at a certain someone.
Magic~ He is part of a group of dragons which were at the front of their kind during the merging of elves and dragons. In a way he was affected more by the spell and is able to cast relatively weak magic, when he is gravely wounded however, his magical ability and will power surpasses even that of a werecat though he loses his other skills.
Wind~ He is able to use his great wingspan to his advantage, buffeting ground infantry and the such from the air with wind with such strength and speed it cuts through almost anything without magic supporting it.
Hypnosis~ Gryfendel is able to temporalily hypnotice any target of his will. The duration of the hypnosis however, is dependant on the hypnotised. The stronger his or her will power, the shorter the duration of the hypnosis.
Race: - Dragon
Hair: - Not applicable...
Eyes: - His eyes change according to the skill he uses it also affects the strength of the skill. For example, if his eyes are in for a fire attack his fire attacks will obviously be stronger than a wind attack.
Sky blue~ His normal eye colour.
Red~ Obviously fire is the skill he is planning on using. Small flames are visible along the sides of his eye balls when using his fire skill.
Gold~ His eyes change to gold as he prepares to use magic. As stated above his magic is relatively weak.
Black~ His eyes change to black if he is gravely wounded or on the threshold of death. There is no other way for him to unlock this mode of power except by the above mentioned conditions.
Silvery grey~ Wind is his choise of attack if his eyes are silver. If you think his wind attacks are powerful while his eyes are red you're in for a surprise. His 'air strikes' in this mode are significantly more powerful, giving it the ability to bypass several weaker types of wards.
Green~ Hypnosys is the word if his eyes are green. They are such a rare sight in a dragon most would just have to look at his eyes and fall into his trap.
Home Village: - In the beor mountains overlooking the dragon fortress or in the spine.
Parents: - Unknown
Siblings: - Nope
Character Personality: Gryfendel is a fun-loving and adventurous individual yet he has a darker side of him which is violent and shows no love for his enemies. He hates Galbatorix with a passion and trusts his friends with his life. He will mourn for a while before falling into a frenzy of rage, biting, clawing, crushing all around him if one was to fall in battle or betray him. When the latter does happen, he never gets over it until he find him or her and forces the truth out of him/her. His adventorous side is the side of him that most people just want to see. He can be as playful as a hatchling with a new toy and as solemn as a full fledged dragon on a hiking trip to somewhere dangerous. He has been critisized often about his childish behaviour but he doesn't mind, he has been critisized in that manner for countless years and has learnt to deal with it. His dark side however is only for fools who are either brave or stupid enough to draw it out. To the onlooker it seems as if his silver-white scales are surrounded with a black aura. He is capable of destroying almost everything when his dark side is drawn out of its shell.
Character History: He hatched before galbatorix rose to power and just before the elves arrived. He watched them playfully beside his friends and as soon as the elves landed on the shore rushed forwards with his little wings, barely able to fly yet, and landed right in the face of an elf. He looked up playfully as the other elves laughed with pure joy before putting him back in his 'home' in the Spine. He watched sadly as they turned to leave for the forest and fell asleep in sorrow for a long time.
Several thousand years later, his body had grown while he slept and he realized his ability to breath fire and hypnotise others. He found this enjoyable and played game with the other dragons who were able to do so. He flew off into the forest, now bigger than what he remembered then and nearly roared in surprise as he saw his eyes changing colour with the skill he was using with the aid of a river. He was proud of his new-found talent and immediately set off to find his old friend, the one he ran into so many years back. When he reached the elf's settlement however, he was met by a hail of darts and wounded gravely. He was found by his playmates days later and brought back to the Spine to nurse his wounds. He later found out from his playmates that his old friend had been killed by the elves as he tried to defend the dragons.
He got mad at that time and started training for a war as another dragon was slain by an elf. That day, the whole spine was in great sorrow, for the elves had slain a good dragon, friend to all of them there, and they would not let them get away with it. Gryfendel joined the 'army' without hesitation, he now had two friends to avenge and was not about to let the opportunity slip away. The day before the marched, he perfected his fire and wind skills and roared in triumph as he slayed an elf who dared to wander into the spine and mocked him severely.
He fought in the battle of the elves and dragons as one of their commanders, leading his troup in and out of the elves' territory without loss and he always made sure to leave behind a ring of fire around the places he razed. Years later, while they slept after a sucessful victory on Ellesmera, not yet the elves' capital, they came in the night. Broke their eggs and slayed his friends. He fell unconsious during the battle and was overlooked by the elves as they proceeded to shatter the eggs. One thing Gryfendel remembered though, was that one of them, a small hatchling of the elves, took an egg from them. He memory failed there and he awoke later to find the two kindreds had forged a treaty of peace. He respected their decisions and abstained from fighting any longer, he had his revenge anyway, enough to last him until the day he dies.
Then came the day, he was positioned in the front of the elves. Their spell-weavers stood in a semi-circle and the dragons formed the other half of the circle. They said their 'fancy' words and the dragons provided the strength for the spell. He blacked out as it was completed and awoke to find elves tending to him with smiles on their faces, asking him how he was and the such. He replied with the ancient language and was as starled as the elves to hear his voice in that tongue. That day, he perfected his knowledge of the language (Being a dragon and all) and discovered his skill in magic, though he would not discover his hidden talent related to magic until the rise of the forsworn and the downfall of the elves. He was wounded gravely and to his shock his eyes turned black and he could not use his other skills except for magic. When he tried, the skill he considered weakest among those he had quickly became the strongest. He healed his wounds and the wounded and fled to the Beor mountains. Where it is said, his friends started the dragon fortress. He did not wish to meddle in politics after that point and took up residence on the peak of the highest mountain there, overlooking the fortress and giving him a particularly awesome view of his surroundings. He lives there to this day. He sometimes returns home to the spine and occationally decends to visit the mountain dragons.
Weapons:
Claws~ His claws are extremely long and are as dangerous as a shade's ability to kill. He uses his claws often and is able to strike at any given angle within a matter of seconds if the situation should arise.
Teeth, tail~ His secondary weapons.
Magic~ He uses magic with skill no matter his eye colour though the strength of his spell is affected by it. As explained above, his magic is weak unless severely wounded.
Fire~ Like any dragon who has come of age, he has the ability to use a blue stream of fire when incinerates even dragon scale.
Hypnosis~ This skill of his is present only among his friends and his unknown family. As explained before he is capable of hypnotising anyone, its just a matter of how much time his victims need to get out of this state.
Wind~ Wind is one of his favourite attacking skills. It can be weak enough to torture without causing serious hurt and yet strong enough to kill within a matter of minutes.

Its just a matter of time before the whole thing crumbles down.
