Firelizards
Fredo (hatching
log)
Brightest royal dissolves into threads of glassy midnight upon the moderately scrawny
physique of a blue firelizard. Concentrated about angular headknobs and blockish muzzle,
the rivulets drip downwards, dispersing from those richer pools in a chaotic scrollwork
scrawled across cobalt-blue canvas. Bright, Harper-fair wingspars etch themselves into the
chaotic tangle of darkness which makes up thin sails, true coloration of iridescently
lightened sapphire finding precious few slivers of space to coerce it's sparkle through.
Fredo is 4 Turns, 3 Months, and 6 Days old.
Boundless energy surges through his immature frame.
Zippo (hatching
log)
Rake thin and arrow-straight, he dashes from point A to point B with little more than an
eyeblink's notice. Small, even for a blue, his lack of physical stature merely emphasizes
his speedy physique. No scrap is safe from his darting jaws; no Thread can escape his
flame, nor green his grasp. His hide is an even pale blue - or at least, no discernable
markings can be seen, as he rarely holds still long enough for any kind of examination.
His tail is long, long, LONG, easily doubling his length with its reach.
Zippo is 4 Turns, 2 Months, and 16 Days old.
Streaking along blue skies.
Rock (hatching
log)
Rust mingles with russet swirls; a hint of wheaten gold seeps through mahogany,
illuminating entire sections of broad torso. Spare could hardly be applied to this
firelizard, naturally chubby and rounded. Head is build on round terms, and neck is
chubby; neck trails into a body of baby fat and crudely outlined limbs. Only the wings
about this firelizard are dainty. Aureate speckles sweep 'cross nut-brown plains of
gracefully translucent wings whilst same color dapples eyeridges 'bove large eyes and
perpetually sweet expression.
Rock is 3 Turns, 8 Months, and 20 Days old.
Secure but still somewhat...mixed-up.
Satler (hatching
log)
Oily slick patina, a myriad of colors, a literal rainbow of intermixed hues set aswirl
with an oddly sedate chaos. Carnation and sky, lavender and lemon, ever after and ever
more, an abalone-likeness, an anoiting crescendo upon luminous bottle-green. Svelte,
sinuous form is tickled with perfection's angles, lilted with intelligence, accented with
a startling quick psyche. Tenacious spirit glimmers true with sturdy spars of apparent
delicacy, splayed across sails of fine malachite leaf.
Satler is 2 Turns, 3 Months, and 10 Days old.
Culpa
A look of ... fur seems to hold the hide of this compact firelizard; blunted muzzle seems
to repeat itself in the smaller wings, and slightly-shorter legs. Headknobs extend from
head, slightly pointed, instead of round -- from these continue the miniscule ridges, down
towards tail, where they taper off. Colors blend, and twine: muted reds, and goldens find
their way in with the
brown, only tapering off at ebon talons, and spaded tail.
Culpa is 5 Months old.
Rip (hatching
log)
Jagged lines cut the frame of this vivid firelizard, from razor-sharp ridges to
finely-honed talons. An aristocrat's chisled lines rake down the length of his long
muzzle, leaving nothing to chance but the glimmers of a stolen gold. Amber's frozen hue
shapes the rest of his slim form, carved with attention to detail and a mind to all trials
ahead. Wings' canopy is abraided with a lost battle's might; veins of dark-ocher crack,
webbing over the frail surface to leave scars that transcend his brutal nature.
