Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Viorel Thanh
Age: 25
Preferred Element: Anything having to do with water or power, (i.e; snow, storm, sea, destruction, war, supremacy).
Why they joined the Order: To one day become as successful as his father.
Appearance: The wizard is always dressed handsomely and well kept, his blue coin bag filled with his father’s funding. Viorel dresses in rich blues and crisp white robes, cloaks, and tunics, and a pair of polished black knee-length boots, all specially tailored to his slender body by the family seamstress. A silver chain hangs around his thin neck with a large and radiant crystal shard dangling from it, and a silver ring, with three diamonds fashioned elegantly into the likeness of a crown, sits snugly on his index finger. Startlingly black hair - cut to just above the shoulders at the back and with mid-neck length ‘ear tails’ and bangs - frames his pale, androgynous face and often hides a pair of bright bluish-grey eyes, set in an upwards slant. He walks with unparalleled dignity, often appearing disgusted and rarely amused, and isn’t quite used to the slower-paced, traditional life of Dorhaven as opposed to his booming hometown.
Brief Personality: He is extremely superficial and materialistic, often judging people on first glance and noting in them only their apparent (useful) abilities. He is determined and undeterred by his social responsibilities, often neglecting his family and friends (minions, or pawns) in favor of whatever he finds fun in that moment, or whatever mood he’s in. He tries to secure relationships with his witty comments and showing off, though this rarely makes him any friends, and for that, he shuns most people and believes them ‘a waste of effort’, owing also in part to his well-developed superiority complex. Though he may seem a bigot or just downright mean, he has a noticeable soft spot for dragons (especially his own) and a certain need to be accepted amongst his peers.
Brief History: The middle son of five brothers, he was ushered among them into a life of grand galas and enormously successful dragon breeding at an early age. Schooled by his erudite father, education came first, and along with his elder brothers, he learned all he could in preparation to someday go to the Order and come back rich and famous, like his father had done. While his brothers preferred to spend their time in the dragon stalls and had no intention on leaving for the Order, Viorel was often found with his nose in a book or over a beaker, taking his education into his own hands. As his siblings showed extraordinary prowess in breeding, his father’s attention was wrenched away from him, and he was left to grow up feeling neglected and brooding over how he would one day ‘show them all.’ Fortunately for him, his father noticed this and has been trying to help him by sending him to the Order and paying for his stay in Dorhaven. Viorel graduated from the Order four years ago at the age of 21 and received his first egg, a snow and prism affinity he named Tuyet. He adores her over everything else, and frequently fusses over her in spite of her motherly protests.
Occupation: Biogenetic researcher.
Strengths: He takes pride in his magical skill (his particular strength lies in hydro-manipulation) and his knowledge in the way of the sciences, specifically chemistry, biology, and genetics.
Weaknesses: He is manipulative and rude, and doesn’t have many friends. The relationships he does maintain are purely for his personal gain, and he will pass up any venture if he doesn’t see the immediate profit in it. He also has a strong eye for detail and beauty, though tends to overlook the subtleties and ignore implications that are not readily available.
Anything Else: The way to Viorel’s heart is shiny, unique, or exceptionally tasty.
