Stardust

Recommended Posts

Name:Scuff

Sex:Male

Age:Child

Species: Dragon

Body Color: Bright, sunny, golden yellow (hex code #FFD700)

Markings Color & Style: White belly, tail, chin and toes. Faint, golden-brown tiger stripes on back from head to base of tail. Florescent orange head and back spines.

Eye Color: Brown

Wings: Pale yellow with florescent orange edges. A bit larger than usual for his age. They sometimes get tangled up and he trips on them

Physique: Small and scrappy, he lacks the “cute” pudgy-ness of most dragonlings his age. He is all knees and elbows and is constantly tripping over his slightly overlarge feet.

Origin:He was raised in the Canterlot dragon hatchery. Not much has happened in his life so far outside of going to little dragon school. He was never really bullied or really popular either. He wasn’t at the top or bottom of his class. Basically, his upbringing was almost painfully average.

Roleplay Type: FiM/Show "Mane" Equestria Universe

Occupation:Waiting to be assigned as a dragon assistant to somepony (any interested ponies are highly encouraged to send Stardust a message)

Motivation: Scuff hasn’t really found his calling yet. At the moment though, his primary motivation is something along the lines of trying to make friends and avoid death by germs at the same time.

Likes: Playing checkers, rock candy, marshmallows

Dislikes: Germs, heights, dandelions

Character Summary:

Scuff is a rather pessimistic, somewhat paranoid little dragon. He is very much a germaphobe and carries around a little bottle of disinfectant everywhere he goes. He also has “hay fever” seasonal allergies, which are a real hazard in the fall since his little dragon sneezes are about half and half sparks and snot. Fortunately, he’s managed to get a supply of fireproof tissues.

On top of his other problems, he is so unmagical that magic things tend to get unraveled whenever he is around. This can be quite an inconvenience, particularly in a very magical place like Canterlot. It is partly because of his negating effect on magic that he is the last dragonling of his class to be assigned to a pony as an assistant. He tries not to be bitter about it, but he can’t help but feel like he is something of a failure.

While waiting for his assignment to finally come, Scuff spends his time reading, tutoring hatchlings and playing games of checkers against himself. He also runs errands and does odd jobs whenever he can find them, hoping that one of the ponies he helps pull weeds or wash windows will want to hire him on full time.

With the rest of his classmates scattered around Equestria, Scuff doesn’t have any really close friends. He gets along fine with most of the other dragons and the teachers at the hatchery, but he doesn’t have anyone he can really talk to. Well, except for his stuffed toy turtle, Speedy.
