Age: Unknown, Older than the 'visitor' dragons from the middle ages.
Appearance (description or pic):
Human Form: Being experienced in Shape shifting, he has changed his human appearance many times to maintain his secrecy, Though with the return of mythical creatures, and eventually the dragons, there was little need for this Anymore, and He settled on an entertainingly unusual appearance that would suite his 'cover career'.
In his human guise currently he's known as the owner of a Famous Game Design Company, The Cliched name happens to be Dragon Gaming Inc, not one of the favored results of his imagination. It had been the modern cover that utilizes his Experienced imagination to feed the human's entertainment industry, and what better position to be revealed as a dragon in than one that has so many billions of fans.
However the colors would be more like black, with Red Belts, and stands just short of 7 feet.
Semi Human Form: A form he tends to favor when traveling at night, It's appearance tends to keep trouble at bay, and The Wings Tend to help him defend himself in the cases where 'trouble' involves something not easily disuaded. The wings aren't good for flying, They are a bit too large, However they work well for gliding still, and are thick with more natural Armor, allowing them to be used defensibly in many cases. He can also Form blades out of shape shifted scales to use as hand weapons.
This form has 'some' abilities of the dragon, moderately improved strength, Ability to spit venoms and acids, Immunity to disease, and that like.
Base Sea Dragon Form: With his Time on Earth for so long, His natural form has grown to adapt to it's specific type of gravity, and has become quite large, however with so much time technically alone amongst humans he had plenty of time to learn to alter his form and the size there-of. he keeps his greatest size concealed, prefering to avoid the damage it could cause, since the reappearance of the dragons his largest known size as a Feral form has been 40 feet, However he keeps to smaller sizes normally for the comfort of those around him, which can range anywhere between 1 and 20 feet, Being able to become quite small is useful for dissapearing.
This form [Get ideas from the pictures below] Is mainly black, with elaborate Red tribal designs, Large retractable fins along the legs and tail, as well as many horns, And more so his Fins, Horns, Spines, and Certain areas about his body, Have a Tendency to Glow certain colors, Normally Green, but they may change on occasion. Further-more, Hidden beneath his scales as well as in his wings are special glans to allow breathing under-water, and are heavily protected by his scales.
Weapons (if any):
NOTE: The bio is an experiment =P Maybe a bit too ambitious, but it never hurts to try.
Bio: Shoryu is one of the eldest Dragons on earth at present, Having been delivered to the planet before the middle ages began an the other dragon 'visitors' came, on his own interest and others, to evaluate the inhabitants of the planet without interfering with It's natural Developement. He'd been experienced in shape shifting even then, and was quick to 'blend in' as one of the humans of the era, And found it ever unusual how they seemed to consider other humans as 'gods' in that age, simply because they were wearing gold, or larger, or had killed something impressive. He was incredibly fascinated by their legends and societies, and under the guise of average low class citizens, as well as animals on occasion, did everything he could to learn about them at the time, Moving between different civilizations as they developed, Though he kept himself separate from the wars that took place from time to time.
the Civilizations that fascinated him the most at the time were the norse/vikings, and the Oriental Civilizations, one seemed to have 'dragon' gods, though many were of the evil variety, While the other Revered dragon's as gods before any other, and had multiple benevolent Deities that controlled many things, like the weather, tides, and so on. It excited him to think that he may encounter other dragons on the planet, though he never actually ran into any, deciding that either their legends were based on elaborate imaginations, or from very stealthy dragons interacting with and protecting them.
However, He soon found himself drawn to other more western parts of europe following 'tales' of dragons and 'noble' knights slaying them as monsters using just armor and steel weapons. He 'found' other dragons. though as neutral as he'd devoted himself to staying, they were very clearly in the midst of their own type of war, With thousands of humans trying to hunt them like some sort of utimate trophy. As much as he hated it he couldn't openly interfere or reveal himself, though that hadn't stop him from causing timely 'accidents' that let some get away, Or slipping information to the other dragons to warn when something was about to happen. He was however pleased to find some humans open minded enough to see dragons as something other than a beast, some even respected them, though they weren't numerous or powerful enough to change the opinion of either side about the other.
He kept himself a little more active in human society, of course refraining from pushing their civilizations any higher in advancement by his own hand, though it did seem that they hit some surges of technology on their own at times. He watched how they changed over the years, in addition to technological advancements there were many social advancements as well, though so many were still hostile and over protective of their 'territory' and possessions, the number of open minded types was growing. Their natural advancement helped him grow excited though, despite the more and more destructive wars, they drew ever closer to the age of space travel, and He was certain they'd be noticed soon. Of course he was also discouraged by the rapidly growing weakness of so much of humanity, and the growing control that their leaders held over them.
It was a bit dissapointing when it took so long for other creatures to appear again, but once non humans started to become known as parts of society, he expanded his role and took a more direct place with creating his own company under the guise of a more unique human form. He was still known as a human for most of those decades however, creating new types of entertainment To keep things active and exciting. When dragons finally re-appeared however he was far more excited by the chance that he could finally stop requiring disguises, though certain that he'd been long forgotten after so many years, He'd be overjoyed if someone somehow remembered him. though in contrast to his innitial excitement, the mixed reactions to the dragon's return disturbed him considerably. when the others from the middle ages returned as well to try and keep humans on the ground, sparking up old hostilities by so many other humans, He started to go back over so many old memories, even after revealing that he was a dragon leading a company already, He still is deciding if it's time to stop being neutral and start sharing all of his experiences in hopes that it could push peace higher on the priorities of both sides, or all 4 sides in many cases.
Other info (use this to describe any unique features, abilities or weapons
that don't fit anywhere else):
There's actually a Myriad of things in mind that fit here, But It's too late and i'm too tired to list 'all' of em xD But simply relevant ones right now are an ability to 'read' people, learned skill, not the magic mind reading kind, An extensive knowledge of humans and their history from living around them for so long, He's also older, grown, and durable, and i'll generally operate him personality wise as i would myself.
Really His background is inspired by myself, but, ya know, on a much larger scale in the RP case XD I've just always been one to sit behind the scenes and observe, at least until a certain threshold is met where I can't stomach not getting involved.
