Name: Tatsuya Miayu (Miayu being his Clan name, which means 'Beautiful walk' or 'sea walk' as a reference to the beach he grew up on)
Nickname: Tatsu
Age In Moons: Due to having been a spirit, Tatsu's age is thrown off. He is really just as old as Thanthero and Tiamat (centuries) but because of his revival he looks to be the age he was when he died. (As far as age goes since Thanthero is oldest by a few centuries, Tiamat is the middle out of the three. Tatsu is just a few years younger than Tiamat but appears to be about 100 years younger than her)
Clan: Tatsu was born into the Miayu Dragons but by friendship considers himself to be more of a member of a make-shift Clan of sorts consisting of himself, Tiamat, and their friend Thanthero. Though it was never official the three are always bound together by friendship and circumstance so they seem to be one.
Description: More of a traditional Oriental Dragon, Tatsu's body is long and serpentine. It is covered in a soft fur but with scales on the legs, face, and talons. Being suited more to the air and sea, Tatsu proudly sports a nice blue colouring. His face that of a wolf with two teeth sticking out in the front. One is on the top left side, the other the bottom right.
Tatsu has a blue mane down his back which extends all the way to the tip of his tail where it fans out into the feathery fur tuft that most Oriental (Eastern) type dragons have. The fur is just a little lighter than his body's ocean blue. Unlike his body, his whiskers are more of a silver colour and end in a little bit of fur. He cannot control these since they aren't actual appendages and at times they get a little troublesome. Another thing of note is that besides his whiskers only his eyes are not blue. These are actually gold with a small thin rim of blue around the pupil and at times have darker blue mixed in the iris in speckles and lines. The last non-blue part of his body are his underbelly scales which are not fur but as hard as normal scale. These are overlapping plates of a tan colour and they extend all the way down his body to the middle of his tail.
History: As mentioned before, Tatsu is not native to the land of DW. He was born into a Clan called the Miayu Dragons. They were a peaceful group who respected the sea they had set up home near. The land wasn't very lush, being consistent of mostly dune grasses and what could survive the temperatures of the hot springs, but it was home. (The Clan lived in an area of mostly hot springs. There was a path upwards on the mountains to the dens and down to the beach.) Since the dragons were well adjusted to the heat of the springs as well as the cool of the ocean, they were a diverse group. Still Tatsuya didn't remain there for long. He left with a dear friend named Isamumi (Isa for short). Unfortunately for Tatsu, Isa wasn't as much of a friend as he thought and she betrayed his trust. She nearly killed him. Though Tatsu escaped, he never discovered what happened to her.
At first his traveling was to escape Isa, then it became for exploration. He soon met up with others who did not betray him. Thanthero was the power while Tia was the logic behind the team. Tatsuya did his best to submit what he could which often involved the speed of his strikes as well as the quickness of his wit. The three were inseparable for a long time. However Tiamat went off to be a shaman, Than an assassin, and dear Tatsu ended up with an unfortunate run-in with Kre himself. Though the spirit was sealed in the chamber by one of Venus's past lives poor Tatsu found himself also to be trapped. When Kre again was released as Rafael, Tatsu was also freed. He shared a body with an ice dragon named Mica who for the longest time remained Tatsu's closest friend. Esmeya, Rafael's unofficial mate who had been forced to live a life without him, became Mica's friend soon enough. She told him all about Rafael, Kre, Fenrill, and their adventures. This is how Tatsu found out all about what had gone on in the past.
As all good things must come to and end, so do the lives of dragons. Mica passed away though the cause has never been stated. Esmeya passed as well but she left behind the Shantari Clan as her legacy to protect the seal of Kre and keep Rafael from awakening once more. Tatsu then was a free spirit who, by chance, had learned to hold his mist form just a little better than before. He met up with a now much older Tiamat and Thanthero as he had a few times through the centuries just to let them know he was alright. Tiamat had long since promised she would revive him. Surprisingly enough she and her two apprentices Aisling and Aleiko succeeded and now Tatsu is back to his former glory in the flesh. (I know I left out a few details but it's simply a summary xD)
Other: Currently, Tatsu has taken up residence with Tiamat and her apprentices in the great network of caverns called 'Tiamat's Earth'. The four of them plan to travel and explore together if for nothing else but simply seeking information. His hope is simple. He wants to pass on as much information as he can to Aleiko who he feels a bond with since they are both two of the only oriental style dragons in DW's land. Fighting style needs to be taught by a dragon who knows how to use their structure to the advantage and Tatsu is more than happy to oblige.
As for special abilities, Tatsu prides himself on his development of magical skills. His signature attack is to curl into a snake strike position and from there use his aura to simply defend. His aura over time has become material when he wishes it to be so water strikes are simple. Also, as a last resort Tatsuya can bond himself to his aura and become himself but made of water. Some changes also take place physically (elongated fangs, four eyes, longer talons, and at times extra legs, tails, or horns. He also tends to get wings depending on what shape his aura chooses).
