Their differences, which would drive many couples apart, managed to make them stronger. Talon's possessive and distrustful nature made Yeande feel protected and Yeande's sometimes-condescending and frank way of nurturing made her Talon's most trusted advisor.
If you asked Talon, he would tell you that he valued their relationship because the two of them treated each other as equals and there was no one "in charge". If you asked Yeande...
Well...
She'd tell you things were a little different.
For awhile, all was happy. However, happiness, like a white-tailed deer deep in the gray winter woods, is a fleeting and fickle thing...
"I'LL KILL HIM!!!" This telltale proclamation would mark the beginning of some troubled times for the happy couple as Yeande, having trusted Talon when he assured her that he was incapable of fathering children, sought the source of her recent bouts of sickness and cramps. The answer, as luck had it, came in the form of telltale little red lines.
And so it was that, one trip to the GMFC later, Talon and Yeande learned that a third would be joining their little family. It was not news that either of them were particularly happy about, as the initial reaction of panic and anger along with nights of long drawn-out arguments would attest to, but once they confirmed that complaining loudly would not make it go away, they resigned themselves to the idea.
Talon, wanting to not be accused of doing the wrong thing for just once in his life, decided that if they were, indeed, going to have this baby, they were going to do it right. And so, one evening not long after their GMFC visit, he proposed to Yeande and wedding plans were made.
A short, slightly-formal ceremony later, the two of them were husband and wife. Talon took up a job working part-time for a tech support center while Yeande stayed home, making preparations for the baby with the others. Inevitably, one afternoon, Yeande went into a sudden labor and was rushed to the GMFC where, after a long and difficult delivery, Talon and Yeande welcomed their son, Zhane Alexander Breslin, into the world.
Zhane, unlike his parents, was a generally happy and curious little boy who loved to get into everything and find out all he could about the world around him. He was always feeling, tasting, grabbing, and otherwise manhandling things to learn more about them.
Sometimes much to his parents' chagrin...
But he was one of those kids you just couldn't get mad at, no matter how many things he broke or violated. Because it was never done with malicious intent, it was done in the name of infantile SCIENCE!
As all babies do, Zhane grew quickly, and likewise so did his curiousity. By the time he was a child, he had developed a strong affinity for exploration and learning all he could about the world surrounding him, wanting to fully understand everything about it. This sometimes proved problematic as there were certain subjects that his mother and father simply didn't like to discuss, and so he began to branch out, seeking enlightenment from other sources...

Name: Zhane Alexander Breslin
Aliases: Little Dragon
Age: young adult ( about 21-22 )
Gender: Male
Height: 5'11
Weight: 170 lbs (a lot of it invested in his wings and tail)
Hair: golden with a single black partition on the left side of his bangs
Eyes: green
Species: ijiuo
Influence: wyrm/ollipiest
Mother: Yeande
Father: Talonfaust
Other Family: His adopted sister, Phaerna
Powers: emblazoned on Zhane's forehead and the backs of either of his hands are faintly-glowing blue runes which form a Guardian Circle. In times of great distress or desperation, these runes will flare to life, consuming him and allowing him to briefly assume the form of a large blue dragon -- an avatar of his 'first' self -- to better protect himself or those dear to him. However, its duration is short, and it leaves him extremely drained and sick for a couple of days following while he recovers. It is, very much, a last resort.
Talents: Photography
Distinguishing Features: blue/purple earfins, tail, kirin antlers, wings, and scaled markings on his cheeks, shoulders, back, rump, and legs
Marital Status: engaged
Partner's Name: Tinania
Children: Calvin and Danica
Likes: exploration, photography, fresh air, trying new things, solitude, honesty
Dislikes: crowds, loud repetitive noises, being kept sheltered, being lied to, being talked down to
Medical Disorders:
Fears: dying, not knowing
Personality: 'Friendly' and 'inquisitive' are two words that may describe Zhane rather well. 'Space case' and 'daydreamer' suffice as well. Aside from his small circle of people close to him, Zhane is only as in-tune with the rest of the world as he chooses to be, often turning what was meant to be a brief walkabout into a day-long excursion into the woods bordering Barton.
He is someone who craves knowledge about the way things work, but prefers to learn things firsthand rather than read about it in books whenever possible. While generally patient and leaning toward optimism about things whenever possible, if pushed hard enough, one would see that he, very much, has his father's temper.
A young man now, Zhane has finally found the balance in his life he's long-sought. Questions that have plagued his mind have finally been laid to rest and he feels freer now than he ever has before to look at what life has to offer.

She has infinite patience for children and animals, but tends to have an extremely short fuse with those who should know better. She is happiest when tending to her garden or spending quiet time with Talonfaust
Her Reaction To Her Pregnancy: "Okay, two lines means what again? Wait..." stare

Personality: Talon is withdrawn and generally distrustful of all around him that he's not familiar with. As such, he is reluctant to meet new people and becomes abrasive if approached by strangers. He is likewise very protective of those he deems "his people" and is easily worked into a froth if he thinks someone may be threatening them. To the few he's befriended, he exhibits more patience and a considerably-softened countenance. Yeande is the only one he shares his tactile/sensual side with and is very reluctant to touch or be touched by most other people, even in passing
His Reaction To Yeande's Pregnancy: "What the christing--?!? OW! What the hell do you MEAN you're preg--OW! Stop hitting me, dammit!"

-immediate family- Tinania - My dearest friend, my lover, my fiancee. Nani was there when I needed a friend most. The more time we spent together, the more it felt like I had known her forever. Imagine my fright when I asked her to share my life with me. Imagine my joy when she said yes. I love her and have always loved her. The two of us were inevitable.Calvin and Dani - There are times when you stop and wonder where you're going with your life. If you've done the right things, or made the right choices. Then you look into the eyes of your children and realize that, as long as you do right by them, forgiving yourself for past wrongs isn't as hard as it used to seem.Seiji - Nani's adopted son. He has grown into an eerily-intelligent young man who knows a little more than he should at his age about the world and its workings. In some ways he reminds me of myself when I was younger, except unlike me, he prefers his knowledge from books and studies. We've had our ups and downs with one another as time has gone on, but I'm happy to call him 'son', and will stand behind him in whatever he chooses to do in life.Sellexi - Sellexi came into my life as a surprise from an egg that had long-ago been presumed dead. I've since adopted her as my daughter and she gladly accepts Nani as her mother and Seiji as her big brother. She still seems to be growing into herself, discovering what she likes and does not like as life introduces her to it. Overall, she's good-natured, but has already shown the beginnings of a defiant streak. I worry for when she's old enough to argue with me. Phaerna - My little sister. Phae's been in my life since I was a baby. Mom and dad never really liked to talk about how she came to be part of the family and, at this late date, it doesn't matter. I only wish she wasn't so reclusive and that she would come out to involve herself a bit more in what's going on around her....-extended family- Nirendra - She stayed with us extensively while her parents were occupied with war at the cliffs. She became so much a part of the household, in fact, that it was hard to let her go back home again. Ren is a very sporadic child. One minute she'll be giggling and happy, the next she'll be quiet and stoic. She and Seiji seem to share a special bond with one another and his happiness clearly comes first in her prioritiesKarma - My "aunt". I guess you could technically call her my grandma since she looked after my dad after he was "born", but I've been threatened with all manner of things if I ever do. When I was growing up, she was a voice of reason and frank answers when I couldn't get either from my parents.Kendall - When I was younger, he was the closest to a big brother I had. Now that we're both grown and live in different places, we mostly stay in touch over the computer and phone. Ken can be really awesome when he wants to be, but to be honest I think his attachment to his computer is a little worrying. I'll never really get why he prefers to stay online all day talking to names on a screen instead of going outside and meeting real people. To each their own, I guess...Krista - I admit, I was pretty nervous when I met Krista for the first time, especially after the reaction my own parents gave when they first met Nani. She isn't like most mothers, though. She and Nani are on equal ground with one another, being just as much close friends as they are mother and daughter. Its really going to take some practice getting used to calling her "mom" once everything's finalized, but I'm willing to learn. It is a privilege to know her.

~ We played in the park together a long time ago, I think...
I met Luna awhile back when I'd stopped at the GMFC for a booster shot. She was a neat and talked without...you know...talking. I haven't seen her since, I wonder what she's up to...

Valtentin -- A long-time resident of Karma's house who keeps to himself in various nooks, crannies, and shelves. He deems himself a casual observer of the activity taking place because he finds it intriguing, if somewhat disconcerting at times.
Zhane holds special interest for him, given the origin of his species and he's made it his hobby to observe the young boy's growth.

Originally purchased for self-defense after he was mugged on his way home from work one night, Talon quickly came to the conclusion that he was scared to death of his own gun. Zhane, however, took a rapt interest in the beretta. Several shooting classes and a concealed weapon license later, he claimed it as his own and brings it with him on his urban explorations just in case he needs to defend himself.
A ring containing several colored, but ancient, scales. By name it is Mor'tivyr, a relic that was once of great importance to a council of ten dragons. It exists now only as a reminder of an old promise and was entrusted to Zhane's care. It is the first real "magical" item he has owned and has the power to transport him to and from one single place in particular...
Toys that were purchased for Zhane before he was born. They now reside in various places around his room, some on shelves and some in storage.

Upon finding out about Yeande's pregnancy, Karma promptly went out and bought a pink and a blue little Q-Pee with a shirt to match. Talon was not amused by the utter tooth-rotting cuteness of the gift and we believe that they are currently residing somewhere in a box in the depths of storage.
A christmas gift from Arafel! Zhane used to love to take this in the tub with him when he was smaller. Now it sits on his windowsill.
Candy canes from Sachi for christmas! ^^

Notes On Ijiuo For The Hopelessly Bored
What are they?
Ijiuo are not a formally-declared species or race as, frankly, there are not enough of them in existance to deem them as more than a freak occurance. To put them in the most basic sense, they are what you get when a draconic body and spirit is crammed into the soul container of a human or elven vessel and the two appearances mingle.
Where do they come from?
In some draconic cultures, mostly the ones that had become some semblance of civilized by living in man's spreading shadow, attempts were made to understand such oddities as ceremony and religion. It became custom in one clan in particular to sculpt relics in the likeness of their deceased both to honor their memory and to provide a beacon of familiarity if their spirit should happen to be wandering and lose its way. These relics were infused with a great amount of magic from the sculptor (usually a loved one or relation to the one it was made for) and all of them contain a small scoop or bowl somewhere in their structure.
This bowl was of much significance as it was where the essense of the dead was placed. Blood, saliva, or sweat was taken from the deceased dragon and placed in the bowl to dry there and mingle with the infused magic, forever placing a signature of ownership on it as belonging to that dragon. What was unknown at the time was that occasionally, the relics served as more than a beacon of familiarity and became an anchor. Confused spirits would linger close to their crafted relic, unable or afraid to leave it...sometimes going as far as to possess it.
When it was discovered that the relics (by then, called Soulcatchers) meant to honor their dead were, instead, preventing them from moving on to their final destiny, actions were taken to destroy them in an effort to free the spirits from their self-made bonds. Instead, it drove the discorporated souls into a turmoil of fright and anger, causing disturbance and upset among the clansmen as their dreams were filled with sorrow and torment.
Realizing that their only alternative was to leave this place where the disturbed spirits wandered, they gathered the remaining soulcatchers and placed them deep within a womb of stone in a nearby mountain where, they hoped, the spirits bonded to them would find peace.
Years later, the cache of soulcatchers was discovered, passed around to various museums and archeologists, and then deemed to be worthless as they did not carbon date back far enough to be part of any major historical value. However, their intricate craftsmanship sparked intrigue in many and they were purchased by a small scattering of collectors. As time went on, the soulcatcher relics changed hands again and again, being bought and sold, until many were lost in the shuffle or ended up on unassuming antique mall shelves.
What was further unrealized about these relics was that their influction of magic was still very much an acting beacon to other passing wayward spirits and souls. As the dragon clan that had crafted them was a small one and far from any other sort of civilization, this problem had not arisen.
In the case of Talon and Yeande's birth, the best guess as to what had happened was that two respective soulcatchers had attracted outside souls from deceased humans (or humanoids, at least). The inhabiting souls of the relics grew defensive and attempted to fend them off as the outsiders fought to stay. The struggle of two souls' energies awakened and overloaded the infused magic of the soulcatcher, causing it to supernova in a sense.
The relic was destroyed and, as its magic dispersed, it locked the two combating souls together, forming one living being of them that remembered nothing of who it was in either life.
What does Ijiuo mean?
The name Ijiuo is a mingling and bastardization of two words from the wyrm dialect: "Jisgi" (lost one or wanderer) and "Indeluo" (magic...or pertaining to magic). Roughly, if you squint, that makes the word Ijiuo mean "magical lost one"
What types of dragon are/were Talon and Yeande? Respectively, Yeande's draconic bits are drawn from a mountain wyrm and Talon's are drawn from a blue ollipiest.
