Serpentinian

Pronunciation: sir-pin-tin-ee-ann

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Serpentinian is rather typical for an adult dragon. He is quite large with a bulky body, large barrel chest, and like many Kindal dragons, has spines running down his back and at the tip of his tail. Serpentinian's scales are primarily a gold or orange, with a cream to white underbelly, and black markings.
Like many stags, Serpentinian has many scars, the majority being claw marks across his face from battling for mating rites and territory with other dragons. Some of these are scarification, however, he is not forthcoming about which ones.

Mental characteristics

Employment

Serpentinian is a cattle rancher in the region surrounding Bronzerest, oftentimes wandering with his herd throughout the fields and meadows in the spring and summer. He often returns to the town during winter, during which time he slaughters animals for meat and hides. Occasionally, he will change livestock and rear goats, pigs, or sheep for their meat for a year or two, allowing pastures to recover.
Serpentinian's wares are generally sold locally within the town to its various restuaunts, butchers, and meat markets.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Serpentinian's profession allows him a rare oppertunity where he is rarely challenged for his territory, as any who do challenge him often do not wish to take on the responsibility of caring for his livestock, and almost always back out of their challenges against him. This gives him a high degree of stability living in one place, which is oftentimes not afforded to many dragons- Serpentinian considers this to be his 'retirement' phase of live in which he can live peacefully and with next to no conflict between himself and others of his kind or mortals.

Social

Family Ties

Like many older dragons, Serpentinian has reared clutches before with previous mates and does not keep particularly close ties with his surviving children. Many of his previous mates, even those he has had offspring with, oftentimes were only for one season, after their hatchlings became independent, they separated. Due to his age, he has also outlived many of his offspring.
