Physical Description

Skin/hide/scales

Sponge-paint, this is what Roshyth's hide looks like. Some parts of his body appear to be red-on-yellow, others it is yellow-on-red. Always, the mixing is eye-catching and beautiful. Visitors from Earth would say he looks like an Astro-pop, an iced treat whose colors are the same.

Eyes

Most commonly, Roe's eyes glitter like rubies, topaz, and amber. Were he human, his doctor would warn him about his blood pressure. His faceted opticals carry such heat from anger, frustration, and pain that no dragon should have to feel so regularly. It has become his fuel, that which feeds his motivation in anything he does. If he weren't angry, he could never function, or so he has come to believe. That energy and desire enflame his eyes, giving them a life of their own.

Physique

Roshyth is downright tiny. Smaller than an Old World Green, Roshyth is nevertheless well-proportioned and strong. Fast and seemingly made of rubber, he can outfly just about anyone in the Caer, male and female alike. He seems to have endless supplies of energy, and can work for many hours at the same insane pace. He does not pace himself however, and when he is done, he will not move from the place he falls.

Appearance

Roshyth is of Old World stock, with strong, aerodynamic lines. His limbs are slender but strong, his chest barrel-deep. His neck is also long and head nearly birdlike in appearance. Strong, batlike wings connect their sails from rib to hip. He also has a spade-tipped tail and a short crest that runs from the top of his head to between his shoulders.

Personality

Additude

Roe has what some would derisively call a "small man's complex." He does not appreciate that he was genetically engineered to be small. His fiery coloring and his short temper give him the presence of a much larger dragon, but he will never forgive his "mother" Parsa for making him hatch so small. He believes that he should have been much, much larger...like the size of Caerlord Scarth. Upon first setting eyes upon his new Caerlord he had at once felt tiny and terrified, and at the same in awe. He now acts as if he has something to prove, and to raise himself in the eyes of the magnificent Black, and will do anything and everything for him.

Hobbies

Roshyth has a habit of flicking stones out over the water. To a human these would be heavy stones that he flicks easily with a claw. He has gotten quite good at it and prefers choppy sea water, which presents a challenge for skipping.

Background

Geneology

As one of Tripaldi FGPC's first clutch of dragons, Roshyth has altered genes that make him practically unrecognizable from his biological parents. In particular, as a dragon from the geneticist Parsa's batch of eggs, he has been altered to be very small, with strange coloring. As a result, Roshyth is not only small, but has bright "fire" markings, tongues of flame on his wings and mottled red-and-yellow hide.
