Dragoooooooon (long for Dragooon) is the sea dragon-oid founder of Snowpia.

Biography

Early Life

Dragooon was born and raised in a deep underwater Sea Dragon-oid colony. They were named in Dragonese, to what roughly translates to "Seastar" in common. They learned to hunt, build (though underwater building is easier than over-water, they've found), but not much about fighting others. He left to forge his own path when at age 16. As most dragons are, they're very proud of their heritage and carry their culture and religion with them to this day.

First World (Enchanted Skies)

Dragooon came to the surface at about 16. He traveled the lands, picking up how the world worked as he went, though the surface-dwellers language was quite the challenge and he didn't quite get it for a while. Eventually they came across a mismatched bunch of creatures living in a mountain, who took Dragooon in. They consisted of Maze (a demon), Nambu (a goblin), Solar (a faery), and more recently Soren (a dwarf). Their home was named Cavetown. The group taught Dragooon more about their cultures and language. This was how Dragooon's name came about -- they found out the surface-dweller word for their species was "Dragon", and couldn't pronounce it, so they to say it as "Dragooooooon" for a while. The name stuck. But it didn't last. Eventually, something unknown happened to their world (at least that portion of it). After swimming to their underwater ravine for safety, they were knocked out and woke up in a whole new world.

Second World (Alathra)

After they woke up, they spent a little while exploring the mountains. They were then found and asked to join Zauburg but left after a few days to make a town of their own. He didn't know much about this world yet, but was eager to. He founded Snowpia soon after, and after realizing they were on Arcadian and Eldian land, joined Arcadia and allied with Eldia. Miraculously, Dragooon found Maze, Nambu, and Soren alive, and they joined Snowpia. Solar is still nowhere to be seen. Dragooon became a Riman of Eldia, and joined the Eldian militia.

Political Beliefs

Dragooon's Sea Dragon-oid society was mainly socialist, and they've carried this over to Snowpia.

Culture

Sea dragon-oids live in groups called "Kanjan", or huntings", consisting of 15-50 dragons, scattered across the ocean floor. Because of their scales, they can withstand extreme temperatures and often settle in deep thermal vents or icy waters, or the "Arkja", which roughly translates to "the dark-safe", where most predators can't swim to. This also means they aren't near much prey, so for about 5 days every month the the older dragons swim up to the "Brakja", which translates to "the light-food", where they gather armfuls of nearby fish. Some stay behind to care for the young, or "Dajonak" (singular: dajona). The dragons that stay behind usually rotate, so everyone gets to both hunt and stay behind every so often. There are exceptions, like the head of the nursery who always stays with the dajonak, or the head of hunting who always leads the hunt. The dragons' rank, as well as their name, in the kanjan is determined by what they catch on their first hunt (which is a bit of a coming-of-age experience for the former dajonak). For example, if they hunt something like a shark, their name would be Shark, or the Dragonese equivalent of it, and they would most likely become hunt leader, unless someone else hunted something more impressive. (Fun fact: Dragooon's original name was Seastar. He was very honored when their new family gave them their new name. He also didn't realized it was a bit odd to be named "Dragooon") For this reason, the dajonak spend most of their time preparing to hunt the most fearsome thing they can think of. If a dajona fails to catch anything on their first hunt, they'll have to wait for the next hunt to earn a name, and probably get the lowest rank anyways. Before they earn their name, the dajona are referred to by what order they hatched in.

Leaving the kanjan is rare, but not unheard of. Most sea dragon-oids stay in their own kanjan for their whole life, or sometimes leave to start their own. What Dragooon did was much more rare, but they had always been more curious than most other dragons.

Religion

Dragooon's religion remains mostly unknown, but is Sea Dragon-oid in culture. They are known to be curious of other religions from other species.

Appearance

Dragooon is a Sea Dragon-oid. They have mostly human anatomy, grey-green scales, a dragon-like snout, horns, mer ears, side-swept kelp-like hair, and a long tail. Their tail and gills were somehow injured during the destruction of Cavetown, and now they rely on armor enchantments to temporarily heal themself.

Dragooon is based on a Seawing-Nightwing hybrid, from Wings of Fire speaks, speaks Dragonese, and has gills that only work for a certain time, which are based on the HTTYD books.
