Sponsorling(s):

• Caero: a female, grey-red hound-lynaxi hybrid

Bond(s):

• Baldamero: a male, two-headed jaguar hydra

Lifemate(s): None

Pet(s): None

Others of note:

• Unnamed twin: Elder sibling whom he barely remembers but whom left a deep emptiness within him.
• Kotone: Younger half-sister, by two years, a triplet. He especially appreciates her compassion and helpfulness, despite her age, whenever he suffers.
• Katsuro (K'uro): Younger half-brother by two years, one of the triplets. Katsuro is a big handful and often bears the brunt of Yuzuki's frustrations (not that he is especially undeserving of it), though he is a strong boy and pulls his weight (literally and figuratively) when needed.
• Kiyoshi (K'yo): Youngest of the triplets, a half-brother. Kiyoshi is a little on the condescending side, giving him the impression that he thinks that Yuzuki should lighten up a lot more. Because he does not understand what it's like to have a younger sibling, Yuzuki thinks of him as especially ungrateful and even lazy.
• Unnamed rukel: After traveling to Darkling Dawn on his own, he came upon a red rukel with beautiful red coloring. Having gravitated toward each other, they have since become traveling companions, and before Yuzuki's bonding at the Fauna Frenzy, confidants as well. More soon.

Physical Description

Hair/armor/feathers/fur: His hair is a strange, steely-blonde color. It could be grey or platinum-blonde depending on the lighting or time of year. It looks almost lifeless as far as body, but it sticks out in choppy chunks that flip out at off-angles. To touch it is very soft and smooth.

Skin/exoskeleton/scales/markings: There is some faint shadowing in points like his mother, otherwise he has pale skin.

Limbs: As a human he is unremarkably normal, as far as limb-count goes.

Eyes: Brownish-blue. His eyes overall look pale green-blue or blue, but up close there are flecks of brown that give that almost green hue, though there is no green. The base color is icy-blue.

Size/Physique: Tall and slender, just like his mother. He has broad shoulders and slender hips, giving him a vaguely wedge-shape straight-on. Perhaps he is a little underfed...

Clothing: He tends to wear utilitarian and nondescript clothing, not because he likes it (or does not care), he simply has not developed an opinion.

Physical Abilities

Agility: Especially in his fox form, he has uncanny agility, especially in tight places. He can bounce off tree-trunks and jump over obstacles such as rocks and bushes with ease. Even in his clumsier anthro and human forms, he's pretty good at avoiding physical encounters or reacting quickly to danger.

Speed: Along with the agility and quick reaction time, he can sprint over short distances --in the yards or meters, no cross-country racing for him.

Strength: He's not particularly strong, though he has wiry muscle. So it's safe to say he can handle, say, heavy luggage for a short time but hauling a heavy load (or heavy-duty construction work) is out of the question.

Mental Abilities

None: At present, he really hasn't even done much thinking for himself. He couldn't even say if he was clever if someone were to ask. Even if he knew, he would probably humbly argue that he is not. As far as Psi abilities are concerned, not even his mother's dragon has really spoken to him, so he isn't even sure if he's capable of speaking with one of his own, let alone any other ability. The answers to all of these will certainly come to light as he is now in a situation of greater independence.

Magical Abilities

Shifting: Like his mother, he can shift his shape into a fox, as well as a bipedal combination of human and fox. As a fox, he has just one tail. According to legend, a kitsune grows another tail for every hundred years of life. Someday he will grow two, three, possibly more. He also has a shape that one can see from the corner of his eye of a bipedal or anthropomorphic fox, covered in fur, with triangular ears, long snout, and a single tail. In both forms, hair/fur coloring remains the same, just with more of it.

Teleportation: Also inherited from his kitsune blood is an ability to teleport. They seem to like to do this through misty forests, if this is a requirement or not is anybody's guess.

Personality

Attitude: Yuzuki projects a rather quiet and gloomy image; he offers little opinion and though he commonly smiles, his eyes rarely do (even if they appear to). He has always defined his life based on his mother's whims and the care of his younger siblings and has had little opportunity (nor realized he had the desire) to develop opinions, wishes, and even dislikes.

Hobbies: None. He has none.

Plans: Now that he has obtained his first wish and more, that is, to bond a dragon, he has just one other. This is simply to not have children. He has done enough raising already! That said... with two rather large "children" to raise in Baldamero and Caero, he finds that it isn't quite so bad to raise dragons. He actually kind of likes it...

History

For as long as Yuzuki could remember he followed his mother through the mist, from one locale to another. Why she wandered this way, and why he tried to keep up, a child never questions, at least not before a certain age. Because she was his mother was enough. But he learned how to be quiet, to hide, and later on how to teach his younger siblings the same. They were quick learners, or perhaps he was very harsh. Otsuko did not stay long enough to know the answer to that. To this family, each town, country, continent, planet, they are just another place. Do they jump between times as well? It has always been hard to say. To Yuzuki in particular, time really had no meaning, though after a while he realized that his mother was getting smaller and his siblings were getting larger, smarter, wilder. He has always envied that. He never questioned, but they always have. Why? Why not? When? How?

I... don't know.

Eventually he realized that he disliked his life. He despised it. He knew that his mother was always playing. The only exception to that was when Emiath had hatched. He was the only reason she ever stopped moving around. Not even that one man that she seemed to like, not after his siblings were born, did she really ever stop. Watch them, she'd tell him.

And then what?

What about... me?

By the time he finally asked that, he could be counted as old enough for his own dragon. So he waited. He attended every hatching he could drag his siblings off to. He started to memorize the parents and little bits of trivia about them, anything he could hear in the halls. He leaned over the railings. He waited. No dragons turned their eyes up toward him. He had seen those bondings where a random, even newly-arrived person bonded from the stands. Even other dragons were a better choice than Yuzuki, so it seemed. And life continued as before, though his siblings seemed to like his stories. But when would the story finally be about him? Even two friends, Zansig and Navune, bonded, and they had taken up a craft that should have completed their lives. Was there something wrong with him?

Finally he realized that perhaps the reason why he had never bonded was that he was "hoping for the best." What he needed to do was go off on his own. He needed to see where Fate would take him -- not his mother! So he disappeared into the mist, and arrived... in Darkling Dawn? He knew this place all too well. It was a big part of his childhood and his own personal playground, if ever he had had one. Why would he end up here? Still, questioning was not part of his nature. So gamely he looked at what clutches would be available in the near future. He became acquainted with them, the parents, and a certain frenzy that had many parents. The Fauna Frenzy had taken place quite a while ago, and the eggs had been waiting for a very long time.

So now he's waiting again. But this time maybe things will be different.
