___Skin Deep
Personality: Like most of his kin, Cian is a creature of serenity and lackadaisy. Laid-back and with little in the way easy offense, he's a peaceful type with social tendency, especially after time spent in solitude with his somewhat harried past. Cian is affable but not overtly so, a quiet but warm presence, happy to meet many but tending to keep few he'd trust as friend. Naturally, he's sweet on the sea and spends all his time swimming or sunbathing on the rocks when not in the company of others - generally nude whenever in his native comfort. He is not always a gentle giant, however, as his days spent under the sun in the great yawning blue horizon have left him with a needling discomfort when in confined areas or indoors in general. When made anxious in such circumstance, he tends to be destructive in a bid to get out, the dragon's rage not assuaged until he can see the sky. This tends to lead to the weather becoming unfavorable remarkably fast, the sun only returning once he's relaxed from what upset him. Easy to soothe and mollified by small gestures, he's quick to regain his even temperment, brushing off any show of discomfort or ill content as though it never happened at all.
___[+] Serene. On any given day, Cian is extremely difficult to rile or ruffle, his affable nature making him very content
___[+] Serene. to roll with the punches; it can prove difficult to shake or otherwise offend him. He has a 'kill them with
___[+] Serene. kindness' attitude when it comes to negativity and practices it frequently.
___[+] Receptive. Despite his generally silent presence, the Dragonair is very welcoming to those he meets, be it to
___[+] Serene. gripe, hunt or otherwise have silent company. Confident enough to tag along in just about any task at
___[+] Serene. hand, he enjoys returning any attention granted and tends to take heart with even the most menial
___[+] Serene. chore, given the right company.
___[=] Quiet. Speaking when spoken to or offering a kind, soft word when in need, he much prefers to listen than to speak.
___[+] Serene. Granted, the Dragonair enjoys to hum to himself, but other than that, he tends to be reserved and speak
___[+] Serene. only when he's thought over his words.
___[-] Easily Claustrophobic. Be it large crowds or an interior room, Cian is extremely uncomfortable when he doesn't
___[+] Serene. have a clear view of the sky or enough elbow room to move. While he has no qualms with others in his
___[+] Serene. personal space, he doesn't like being surrounded by anyone or anything that keeps him from moving
___[+] Serene. freely.
___[-] Aloof. He is not at all unfriendly, but he's not very personable either, being supportive and talking on all manner of
___[+] Serene. things but rarely offering a personal opinion or preference on any given matter. Sometimes it's a defense
___[+] Serene. mechanism, but mostly, he just doesn't like anyone close to him on a level that can leave him vulnerable.

___Details
___Strength: He is a talented swimmer and has great aerial control when in flight. Cian has an impeccable ear
___[+] Serene.for music. With his influence on the weather, he can add ambiance to just about any situation -
___[+] Serene.irregardless if it's warranted or not! He's exceptionally strong when it comes to combat. He can
___[+] Serene.also breathe under water as easily as he can at high altitudes.
___Weakness: He's a bit clumsy in tight situations, as his tail is less an extention of him and more a conduit for
___[+] Serene.how he's feeling, which tends to lash with his anxiousness. Cian is also potentially too laid back,
___[+] Serene.with a devil may care attitude: he's not very empathetic despite his outward friendliness. His
___[+] Serene.attachment to the sea is nearly crippling, as no matter where he is, who he's with or what he's
___[+] Serene.doing, if he needs to return to the sea, he will do just that, or very literally waste away trying to.
___[+] Serene.In battle, his stamina is lacking and while he packs a punch, he doesn't last very long.
___Quirks:
___[+] Serene.Food Snob.
___[+] Serene.He prefers his food to be raw and favors fish; he finds fresh clams to be a delicacy. 'Unnatural'
___[+] Serene.additives such as deep-frying or using excess condiments will prompt him to turn his nose.
___[+] Serene.Human Shortcomings.
___[+] Serene.It doesn't matter if they're the most dominant species in the world - Cian does not understand
___[+] Serene.why humans are so strange. He has retained the majority of his Pokemon sensibilities and he
___[+] Serene.rarely practices human tradition or social etiquette.
___[+] Serene.Levitation.
___[+] Serene.Cian tends to levitate or 'fly low' as he likes to say, scarcely noticable save for the fact his feet
___[+] Serene.don't always touch the ground and his gait seems to be very smooth.
___[+] Serene.Nautical.
___[+] Serene.Cian is very much attuned to the sea and the tides, familiar with it in the way one might know
___[+] Serene.all the nooks and crannies of their house. Because of this, he tends to not be away from it too
___[+] Serene.long. He doesn't like to be very far inland or in human arenas for extended periods of time and
___[+] Serene.no matter his business on land, he will return to the water in due time.
___[+] Serene.Shinies!
___[+] Serene.The Dragonair isn't materialistic but he positively covets treasures of the sea: shells, coral
___[+] Serene.formations, sunken treasure, smooth colored stones - he has a great love of baubles that
___[+] Serene.pertain to his beloved sea.
___[+] Serene.Note: It is my intent that these should change/evolve with RP & are not set in stone.

___History
The life of a Dratini was not very exciting, but it was modest. Spent in the presence of his podmates, the only remarkable thing he managed to do in that time was survive; while his brethren succumbed to natural illness of the cold weather or were feasted upon by Pokemon bigger than they, he remained unscathed and well off. When he evolved, he parted ways with the few that remained and struck out to the sea. He'd lived in a network of lakes by a mountainside all his life but the sea -- it was like nothing he'd ever experienced. Never would he be able to learn all the fathomless depths nor explore every nook and cranny, and while that frustrated the somewhat territorial dragon, it also enthralled him. It was his self-given duty to seek all the beauty he could in the great blue yonder.
This was his life for many years: rooting in the deepest depths of wreckage and natural caves and soaring above the churning waves to look for markers to mind his territory. He was so busy being consumed by the sea and his possessive nature that he missed out on much else in life, including humans and friends. The Dragonair was content with his lot in life.
That was, until he had The Dream. Offered a chance to see more beauty of the world and to interact with those unlike any he'd ever encountered, the Dragonair was eager to accept. He awoke the next day in a form that was unlike his slender body, dressed in strange garments and soaked from floating on his back. It took him some time before he could figure out how to swim with his enormous tail, but he managed to make it to land and wander on legs he'd never possessed in all his life. It was strange to have appendages other than his ear-wings and tail, but because he had them, he wanted to use them, and so he walked until he was tired, and at that point he floated until he was tired then, and continued to walk. Eventually he ran into civilization of humankind and, having never seen them other than his new form, he had no fear of them and did not mind their amazed stares. He was greedy to learn of this new place, these creatures, and so he did - their language, their food (much to his chagrin), their goods, he learned it all and let them dote upon him. He encouraged them to admire him and his ego grew, finding his own spotlight to be more important than the observation of their ways, of how they worked with Pokemon, of how they lived and carried on tradition. They gifted unto him a name - Cian - and it was then he decided they would belong to him, and that was his great gift to their kindness.
Not all were kind as he traveled between land and sea. Eventually there were those who sought to keep him for themselves, and though he was often able to shake any who tried to follow after him - Cian mostly thinking it nothing more than a game - he was not immune to misfortune. In one early eve, he'd been attacked without warning and, unaccustomed to the feeling of pain in his humanoid body or the strange sensation of fear that came with it, he had lashed out in turn. His powers were great in his body and because he had been too selfish of his possessions and greedy of attention, he had never been curious or appreciative to what he had become. The build up was tremendous and the power not only flung him back into the wharf and knocked him out, it killed the two trainers and their teams. Waking up in a haze of a storm that had come at his bidding, he only briefly saw the outlines of the deceased and left the scene, repressing the grisly details.
He couldn't do it entirely, however, and with the lesson learned came a tempering of his being. Cian ceased his prideful wandering and learned caution; he no longer invited those in his path to admire and bask in his presence, but exercised restraint and an emotional distance; where he had been boisterous and demanding, the Dragonair knew a calmness, a quiet patience of observation before speaking. Not only did time soften his youthful exuberance, but his experience had also given him a semblance of maturity. Still intrigued by those he met but not nearly so brazen, Cian learned to tag along rather than lead, to listen rather than speak and he found that in this way, his wealth of knowledge of the world around him grew. Though he still did not share in the ways of humans nor understand them despite his time in their townships, he was more considerate, and began to try and really pay attention this time lest he make another mistake he could not fight his way out of.
Recently, he had another dream, though he didn't remember it. Cian knew that this one, like the last, would herald a crossroads for him and that it was time again to prepare for a change in his life.
