Description:	With as many breeds in him as Kelland Qhemel-- who insists on being called Feak by friends-- it is hardly surprising that he looks nothing like most Avengaean dragons. Oh, he has your typical Avengaean shape, and your typical Avengaean fur, but you can't tell by looking at him what kind he is. He's a dusty beige in color, like what you might get by crossing Earth brown with Air yellow, with small, pebble-like Earth jewels scattered down his shoulders and hips. His wings are partly furry, along the wing-arm and halfway down the sail, and partly tined, with claws at the end of each bare "finger". This fur, thick and fluffy, is fire-orange, as are the tufts of fur at his cheeks and flopping over his bright green eyes and trio of smooth, bronze horns above them. Those horns are the only physical sign of his Light dragon heritage, for though there are three, like some Earth dragons have, they are smooth and curved rather than straight and spiraled. In human form, Feak would be called quite handsome-- but at the same time he is very unusually short, even unnaturally short: he stands at not even five feet tall, and is built sturdily. His hair is just as wild, and just as red, and his skin is a sun-tanned, ruddy version of his beige fur. His eyes are just as green, and just as sparkling with mischief and laughter, and he wears his ears just slightly pointed. Just because.
Personality:	Feak is, first and foremost, quirky: Earth personality elements are self-evident. Playful and certainly a joker, especially in his mannerisms, he is easily amused and sometimes fickle, but also loyal and dedicated-- for a while, anyway, before the travel-bug bites or trouble starts to brew. He can be absent-minded, more prone to chatter than thought, and though he will never forget a friend's name, he might forget that he promised that friend to do something. Though he is very energetic and charismatic, he tends to get into things over his head and, once discovering that he can't complete something easily, usually abandons it-- to the dismay of whoever he dragged into his odd projects with him. He loves flirting, kissing, generally being romantic, but should his partners desire anything else of him, he's ready to run-- literally. Afraid of commitment? .... Maybe. He's still young. He might grow out of it. .... Maybe.
History:	Nobody knows just where Feak got his nickname, and he's not telling: everything he says on the subject is rather obviously a tall tale. He grew up on Avengaea, in the care of his eccentric, travel-bitten mother, which might explain a few of his own odd quirks, such as the endless wandering of his own. With her he saw large chunks of that planet, and since coming into his own, he immediately started moving off-world. Eventually he plans to write a book-- or a set of books-- but until then, he's just storing information, making hoards of friends, and leaving them behind him when the need arises or the urge hits to start wandering again. Perhaps the only real commitment Feak has ever made-- and that wasn't entirely of his own choosing-- was the adoption, in a sense, of Sugar. When he found her on his first "visiting home" trip and in the midst of an attempt to find his mother, she was alone and dying of starvation and exposure, a hatchling abandoned by the demon who had stolen her. He couldn't, in good faith, do anything but take her with him to get fed and taken care of. He never really intended for her to become like a little sister, following him everywhere-- but hey, a little company's not so bad.
Abilities:	Feak's patchwork magic is as varied as his heritage. He has primarily magic of the element Light, particularly healing and illusion magic, and Air, specializing in weather and sound illusions. From his mother's side, he has a bit of plant magic, a nod to the Earth quarter, and while Fire is primary in his appearance, he has the least amount of magic from that element, only just enough to light candles or campfires now and then. He has next to no psionic ability, just a little telepathy. As for physical skills... well, he's a good shifter, a showy flier, and a swift runner, but he can't fight worth beans-- not that he'd want to!
