 Name :: Nolan Grey.
Origin :: Irish; derived from Ó Nualláin meaning "descendent of NUALLÁN"; nuall means "noble, famous".
 Alias :: Nols.
Gender :: Male.
Birthday :: January 23rd.
Stage :: Child.
Dust :: Dragon's Blood.
Likes :: Sun-bathing, shiny things, building up his 'cave,' meat, hunting, gliding, the beach.
Dislikes :: Big groups of people, clothes, soggy food, high-pitched noises, human social etiquette.
Hobbies :: Finding shinies for his hoard, swimming/diving, exploring the land.
Personality :: Nolan is an odd one, free of the bonds of human expectation and more feral than tame. His opinion of humans isn't all that high but it's more out of disappointment that they aren't like him, marking him more than a little selfish. He's very quiet and rarely instigates a conversation outside of anyone who isn't counted as a friend, and even then he can be short and to the point, not one to waste or mince words. In friend territory, however, Nolan proves to be very loyal and dependable, if not a little over-bearing in his protective ways. He does his best to keep 'what's his' safe and happy, like his own little brood, going to great lengths to keep them satisfied and secure. He's very much a provider and, though he's young, he does his best to pull his weight for his family.
Abstruse :: difficult to understand. Nolan is more dragon than human so his values, beliefs and social etiquette do not always match up with human expectation. His thought process can be hard to follow, being as wild as he is. Operating on instinct, he tends to act without warning and doesn't believe in the value of words just yet.
Morally Grey :: does what's necessary, irregardless of the cost. He feels that human belief and law is terribly subjective and not worth following. Nolan has needs - need of adding to his hoard, need of protecting what's his - and if he has to steal from others, draw blood from others or otherwise take what he feels is his despite human protocol, he will, irregardless if it's right or not.
Possessive :: over-bearing in claim of whats his. Be it his trinkets, his hoard, his friends or his family, Nolan is terribly possessive. He's not above throaty growls of warning or even a tussle to assert his dominance, and more than anything, he's not afraid to fight for what belongs to him.
Post Color :: Dark Red.
Soundtrack :: Pending.

Name :: Tesla Grey.
Gender :: Female.
Age :: Twenty-five.
Occupation :: Farmer.
Marital :: Single.
Residence :: Siren's Shore; Amies.
Likes :: Ocean breezes, festivals, traveling, humming while she works, cold lemonade on a hot day, writing to her siblings.
Dislikes :: Extreme temperatures, complete silence, mending tools, the smell of mold and dust, stiff fabrics.
Hobbies :: Visiting new places, collecting various trinkets to remember special moments, reading romance novels, diving.
Personality :: Tesla is, plain and simply, a sweet girl. She's very upbeat and positive with an idealistic outlook on life, always trying to find the good in the moment even if things seem bleak. Tesla is a go-getter, self-reliant, hard-working and a firm believer that everything can be fixed with a little elbow grease. She's very resourceful and actually enjoys the challenge of improvising, generally having a creative mind with little means to express it. Being a hopeless romantic, she can be shy on a first meeting, but she's a steadfast and loyal friend if one can get past her affectionate mannerisms and slightly self-deprecating demeanor. Tes fancies herself to be reliable, and though she's not a rock that can weather any storm, she's good company in a pinch and is more than happy to celebrate any given day for no apparent reason at all.
History :: A farmer's daughter, Tesla was born eldest of five younger siblings. She was raised to help out with her younger sisters, to stay on top of her own studies and to lend a hand in the field; though her younger days were all work and no play, she grew to be very responsible and kind-hearted, often helping her sisters with schoolwork and teaching them rudimentary 'skills' to be women, such as cooking, patching clothing and the all-important ways to style one's hair. Farming was all she knew for many years, and she was fine with that.
Midway through her teens, her mother took her to visit the woman's side of the family in Helena. From that moment on, Tesla learned to love to travel; drinking in the sights and learning the culture of each village they passed was an absolute thrill to the teenage girl. Eventually, her sisters came along, and then her father: it turned out Tesla's grandmother was ailing and needed help getting along, to which her mother decided to stay in Helena. Her sisters also stayed with their mother - for what better place was there to raise girls than the land of femininity? - but she, dutiful as she was raised to be, stayed with her father in their modest home on the Siren Shore.
Tesla's life was never very exciting but it always strayed from being dull. Her father traveled frequently to make visits to her mother and siblings, to which she found herself spending more and more time by herself in the seaside home. Certainly not one to begrudge her father spending time with the love of his life, she worked the fields on her own and earned a modest turn out. It's been a year since she last saw her family, and though she keeps herself busy, she can't deny a certain degree of loneliness that has begun to creep around the empty rooms and long winter nights.
Soundtrack :: Pending.

 Dragons as a whole are contested to have lived at all, having left little behind to indicate their existence.
It was rumored that dragons became extinct because of the magical properties of their blood: making
any magic potent and possessing unparalleled healing properties, the ill-fated giants were hunted and
systematically dismantled for every piece of their being, leaving not bone nor claw unused. However,
with a dragon's death so too came the demise of its power; in the end, each relic taken and fashioned
by human hands disappeared. It's said that seeing a dragon is good luck, but there's been no rumor, not
even a whisper of a sighting for many generations. It is believed if dragons existed, they are now extinct.
And yet somehow, the modest bottle holds the very vitae of the beasts, the garnet liquid still swirling and pulsing with life.
It is either a living artifact confined by the magical glass or perhaps proof that the beasts exist after all.

 [Photo]Mr. Grey: Tesla's father. A hard-working farmer with an intense warmth for the people around him, he always offers a helping hand, even if it means going out of his way. He's the type of man to give a beggar his own meal; he's big-hearted and selfless. A family man, there's nothing in the world more important to him, taking great pride in the life he's built.
Mrs. Grey: A jovial woman with rose-colored glasses for the world, she's always been stout enough to work side by side with her husband though her passion was more in art. She had decorated their home with art: painted plates, hand-stitched blankets and small carvings in the furniture. More educated than her husband, she taught her children all she could.
Sharie: The second daughter. Bright, affable and a little naive to the world, she enjoys exploring and chasing butterflies.
Feywin: The third daughter. Wild, reckless almost, she's a tried-and-true tomboy with a love of climbing and tumbling.
Evelyn: The fourth daughter. Quiet, dainty and sweet, she's very obedient and serious, though she enjoys painting.
Astra: The fifth; twin to Ezra. Doted on to the point of being spoiled, she likes to laugh a lot, baby-talking frequently.
Ezra: The sixth; twin to Astra. Also doted on, she mostly enjoys hearing her mother sing. She's happiest outdoors.

Aric :: ❤❤❤❤❤
Nolan's best friend, Aric is the only one the dragon lets himself be vulnerable and 'human' around. He considers Aric to be his very own, his most prized treasure in his hoard, and is not a big fan of the desert prince's Guardian, Elias.
Fintan :: ❤❤❤❤❤
Other than them having a sass-off and doing the alpha chest-puffing on their first meeting, he doesn't have much of an opinion of the phoenix.
Krinn :: ❤❤❤❤❤
Their meeting was a whirlwind, but Nolan feels indebted to the rain cloud for the safety and help he granted the dragon.
Venice :: ❤❤❤❤❤
Nolan still thinks this one is an angel. Despite the other's crisp and staunchly polite mannerisms, he doesn't really have an opinion of the swan.
Ziya :: ❤❤❤❤❤
The lightning teen is a bit...sad, to Nolan, like he's keeping something to himself and bearing a burden alone. He doesn't have much of an opinion but has a positive outlook for him.

 The back part of the Grey household.
There's a full one-story portion in front of it.A quaint cottage on the Siren's Shore, the Grey household has stood both the test of time and weather.
Fitted for electricity but never finished to be used, the house is well kept and clean, time having no wear or
tear on the immaculate inside. Set on a generous slope of hill with lush grass and vibrant flowers, the
house is at the head of the acreage that serves as the farmland. The fields are well tended, bearing many
types of fruit and vegetables, more than enough for Tesla to live on in sales as well as storing for herself.
