Who on here would like to be a dragon?
Random question, I know. Long story short, I'm writing a story about dragons. I have the main characters more or less figured out, but I need some names/personalities/colours of some lesser characters. These dragons will be part of a cluster of hatchlings. They won't move the plot much. But for realism, I want the mob of fellow hatchlings to be named, because I hate having unnamed characters. It makes sense that the main dragon would know their names, having known them his whole life.
If you don't want to give your real name, that's fine. The only rule I have for names, is if it is a word in another language, it has to be a real one spoken in a country, not one made up for a book. Or if you want, you can name them after food or gems, or whatever. As long as there are no two dragons with the same name, I don't care. (Just in case it happens, if you choose a name, that I have given to an important character, I may ask you to change it.)
It would really help me a lot, if you all could give me a dragon character.
Here's a little form, with the info I need.
Name: Appearance: (Colour, distinguished features, wing type - E.G. part of legs or independant of them.) Personality: Power: (The dragon won't have this in the story, but it helps to know what they will grow up to be. These are mostly elemental or weather. Ask, if you're not sure.)

Female  And glad I could help! If any more dragon ideas pop into my mind I'll pass them along. Well I cleaned Gandalf's tank again today, a full clean. I know thats not exactly a good thing for him (you wind up getting rid of the bacteria that builds up in the water and is good for them), but somehow that dang algae came back and his water was a nasty green! I couldn't even see my fish the tank was so nasty, which boggles my mind since I do a tank clean once a month, and every week I change out some of the water like you're supposed to, I usually vacuum the gravel when I change out a little of his water once a week. So I figured there must have been some algae somewhere on his plants or home or something, so I scrubbed it all out and changed the rocks even, hopefully his water stays clean this time. I took the filter pump out because he keeps wanting to attack it when its on anyway, so I figured whats the point in keeping it in the tank? Who knows, maybe the algae was in the pump and thats where it kept coming from. Ah well, Gandalf seems a happy fish, and thats all that matters

Erin Lunaire wrote: Who on here would like to be a dragon? Oh fun! Here's mine; Name: Maeve Gender: Female Appearance: Golden brown fading into dark red, like autumn leaves. More gleaming than sparkly, with four large feet/paws and a long tail. Eyes are black, with ribbons of gold twirling around. Large wings (unattached to legs) that are suitable for flying and for covering oneself when sleeping. Personality: Slightly explosive. Likes being around others but gets irritated very quickly when things don't go her way. Enjoys discussions about science and history. Power: Fire related. Her skin starts glowing and will become too hot to touch when enraged, and small sparks will start to flow from her nostrils and mouth.I hope that helps for your story Erin!

I'll get back to you on the dragon thing, but speaking of stories, I had to alter my back story a little bit. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was going more on Thorin's age in later years rather than his age during the prologue (which is when my story takes place). Since he's only 24 at the time, it wouldn't make much sense for Thorin and Marida's earlier meeting to be 20 years before the events of the prologue, since that would only make Thorin about four, which is way too young to get involved with anyone (regardless of their race). Also, it's got to be closer to the events of the prologue for Marida to be still holding on to that "promise" (I'm getting to that now). If it were twenty years earlier (and she may not be that much older than Thorin, so she'd be too young too), she would have forgotten all about it. In the rewrite, their meeting in nearby Dale takes place about five years earlier, which would make Thorin about 19 or 20 at the time, so it makes a little more sense. Let this be a warning to those of you that are planning to write a back story on how you met your "husband". Be wary of his age at the time the story takes place, or else you'll have to alter it a bit. Since this was part of the latest chapter, it was easier for me to edit. I also abandoned the "hunting" story. In the rewrite, Thorin goes looking for Marida because she's been gone too long, not because she's being hunted by someone. Perhaps her father is getting a little worried about her, being in a strange city, with all these "big" people about.

Hmmm, I actually dont know how old my "husband" is...he's at least 300, I think, or around that. Kind of hard to keep time in the Neverland, after all, days just run together after a while!

Kind of hard to keep time in the Neverland, after all, days just run together after a while!  That would make him older than Thorin, since he's only 195, which is the oldest character I've liked so far, even though like is way too weak a word when referring to Thorin. I added the drawing I made of Marida on Doll Divine to my deviantART account, with a link to the back story (in case anyone's curious). I also made my PotC character (I posted a picture a while back), but I doubt I'll be adding this one, since like Tumblr, my deviantART is mostly Hobbit related. Feel free to see how it looks now, since my profile is starting to look a little more filled up: http://queen-of-erebor.deviantart.com.

Tuli, you're a stalker  Yeah, I'd say Maglor's age doesn't apply in this case. He's an elf
