Description

Name: Hidratia (Hyd-rat-ee-uh)
Age: N/A
Gender: Male
Species: Dragon
Elements: Darkness/ Chaos
Weight, Height, and Length: (See note six)
Orientation: Gay as the 4th of July
Wingspan: approx. 10ft
Country: Germany
Soul: Young, broken, dark

1. Tattoes and Eye shape
Hidratia sports three significant tattoes. The first, going left to right, is an almost cone-like triangle. The second is a spiral AND a number six. The third and last resembles a fork, a trident, or possibly a pitchfork. The triangle represents actually being alive, and being 'reborn' as Hidratia's original form if that of a skeleton of a dragon. This triangle is only on the left side of his face, and has not yet appeared on the skeletal form. The spiral six opens in one direction, possibly forming a 66. There is no third six, so one would believe his deal with the devil isn't done yet. The trident was the symbol (at the time of his original life) of an assasin's guild. And that is what Hidratia is. All three symbols are burned and engraved into his scales.
His eyes are usually rectangular in shape, but are subject to change with his expression of course. When closed, they resemble checkmarks.

2. Nose and Nose Ridge One
He appears to have a sort of beak, composed of cartilage rather than bone. His nose slits are small, and do not actually work proportionally with his nasal cavities in skeletal form. This will be partially explained later.
The first nose ridge is made of cartilage, as are all three ridges up his face. This one is not otherwise significant.

3. Nose Ridge Two
This ridge actually curves a bit more at it's tip than the other two and detects a few things including:
Vibrations in the air
Sounds Hidratia can't normally hear (it doesn't hear, just feels the vibrations created by the sounds)
Heartbeat and pulse rate

4. Nose Ridge Three
This one contains minimal ears on its underside, and extends his horns beyond the skull's capibilities. The horns visible are not part of Hidratia's bone structure and are only about 25% his. What one sees is yellowed Ivory, given because of the magic that gave him flesh once more.

5. Face
His nose is rounded, his chin is sharp. There isn't a triangle on the right side and the creepy smile is actually kind of adorable. (Hidratia can't purr, or chuff, but he can make a rumbly 'hnnnnnnn' sound with his mouth shut.) His tongue isn't forked and the low set of his lip hides large teeth.

6. Weight/Height/Length
None of these are set. His weight is unpredictable, but generally, he's rather heavy. Most of his bulk is muscle. However, this would depend on his size, and this has never truly been established in numbers. (His current boyfriend is a cat, who's basically as tall as his back leg and rather fluffy. This doesn't help the conundrum.) Sometimes he's bigger than another dragon, but another might come along and be taller and bigger than himself. Most of the time, he fits inside a castle's walls with room to spare, enough room for a smaller, wingless dragon. So the ratio of height to body length to tail length is 6:7:5.

7. Hearts
Fun fact: Hidratia has two hearts. Unfortunately, this doesn't make him a more caring person. Or a kind dragon. In a videogame, it would take twice as long to kill him (especially if he was the final boss).

8. Legs
He has three pairs of legs. The front two sets function as arms with hands. The back set is just a back pair of legs. The very first set has thumbs on the inside, and work well for running. The middle set of arms has thumbs on the outside and is shorter than the first set.

9. The Axe
Made of bone, one has to wonder why it's blue.
Keep wondering.
Hidratia's bones are not blue. As cool as that would be, they're not. But the membranes of his wings are (and by the way, there are rips and tears in those membranes, see other pictures for those). And by reason, his membranes should be black, likes his skeletal ones. Magic. That's the answer. Because... there isn't another answer at this time.

FINAL NOTE:

Hidratia's skeleton doesn't fit his skin. Why? Because he is not one, not two, but four dragons combined. When he was killed by Russians ('cause he's a Nazi... was...) his body was dragged into a burial ground for the Russian's enemies (necessary 'cause they and the allies won). There, three more carcasses were dumped on top of him.
So, when Hidratia was brought back as a skeleton, some parts of the others weren't quite decomposed, weren't dust. The German who was previously a Nazi, who was an assasin, his mind prevailed as he was the dragon the necromancer has wanted. However, there are parts of Hidratia that are not Hidratia, but the three other dragons.
Don't ask Hidratia what parts of him are HIS. He will get descriptive.
