Natural Ability: Acid. Plenty of acid. Black dragons are known for their highly acidic breath and bile, something they can and will put to use when threatened. Most bodily fluids contain some level of acid, not always in concerning or dangerous levels. If cut, the dragon's blood will be black and corrosive. This does not effect the creature itself, as the body has a certain immunity to its own acidic properties. Killing a dragon has never been easy!
Personality:
-Silent Type: Speak when spoken to. Say only what needs to be said. He doesn't try to be rude, really, but usually his responses come out short. He doesn't know what it means to sugar coat anything, so don't be asking any questions that you don't want him to answer truthfully. On the bright side, he's usually one to keep his thoughts to himself.
-Solitary: While he's obviously not going to be able to avoid contact with people, Tanvir isn't going to be the first one to make a move toward relationships. He's horrible at striking up a conversation, to say nothing of coming up with a subject once the greetings have been exchanged. He promises that it's nothing personal, but why would someone want to follow him around all the time? Surely they should be studying for their own education, right?
-Likes: Warm and humid places, seafood, red meat, swimming, reading, modesty.
-Dislikes: Cold or very drafty places, dry heat, sweet foods, egotism, untruth.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Tanvir seeks knowledge, especially in history and combat. Without any memories of his past before being reawakened, he craves to learn of the history surrounding Halloween and its people in an unfortunately fruitless attempt to stir his memories that are locked away. Combat is more of a hobby, giving him the chance to let off some steam without getting himself into too much trouble, as well as keeping himself in good physical shape.
FEAR Ability: Supportive - Acidic Bile: The black dragon's attack is rather disgusting, but highly effective. In battle, Tanvir will project digestive bile at his target that can cause acidic burns to metal, flesh and cloth. Just... Try not to think about the projectile vomiting part.
The Tainted Fang
First Level: 3d4 First Dice: xxxxx 1-3: Miss xxxxx 4: Success! Second Dice: xxxxx 1-3: Target suffers 1 damage for [third dice] rounds. xxxxx 4: Target suffers 2 damage for [third dice] rounds. Third Dice: xxxxx Determines how many turns the effect lasts. Potential Max Damage: 8
Note that this technique is UNAVOIDABLE damage (unless they use a Barrier). Your target will take damage regardless of whether you hit or miss on subsequent turns.
Physical Description: Eye Colour: Gold; black sclera. Hair Colour/Style: Very dark brown; straight; short but unruly. Skin Colour: Caucasian; light skinned. Clothing Style/Colours: Dark colors are a preference; blacks, deep browns and reds. He keeps his body heavily covered much more often than not, for warmth and protection against the elements. Extra: Black draconic wings; long, spiked tail; finned ears; horns; slightly enlarged/sharpened teeth; kanji tattoo under right eye. Natural Form: Tanvir can shapeshift (where able) into a very large, winged black dragon complete with sharp horns and spikes along his spine and tail. He is capable of flight and speech in this form, as well as FEAR attacks. It is highly suggested that no one attempts to ride on his back, if the look of the spinal spikes isn't offputting enough on its own. References:Official Y1 Art; Natural Form One & Two

I made Tanvir's natural form stand alone instead of a natural ability, and came up with an actual natural ability based on information of his species and the fact that they have acidic bile/breath. Thanks for the suggestions, Riyo~ <3

Just keep in mind, Hitsu, if you do not have shapeshifting as a natural ability then you will not be able to change to your natural form as freely. Yes, you have it, but you can't use it outside of the dorms/outdoors really.
Quote:
- Regarding natural forms: all Amityville students wear skull pins as part of their 'uniform'. If your character's natural form is not humanoid naturally, then the skull pin magically forces them into a human shape for their classes and so on. It also adjusts height: if your character is naturally a tiny pixie or a giant, it would either grow them to 2 feet tall (minimum) or shrink them to 7-8 feet tall (maximum). This human shape matches their official student art! If your student has a natural monstrous/non-humanoid form, they can switch between their humanoid (official art) form and their natural form either a.) outside or b.) in their dorm room. They cannot switch in a classroom, in the hallway, etc.! This is for the comfort of all students.
- The only characters that can switch willy-nilly between a humanoid form and a monstrous/non-humanoid form are characters who have shapeshifting as a natural ability. For example, if you have a werewolf character whose natural ability is shapeshifting, they can shift between forms anywhere! However, if your character is naturally a giant snake, and does not have shapeshifting as a natural ability, they can only shift to their natural forms in approved areas
So keep in mind that his dragon form WILL be mainly sealed in school if you don't have shapeshifting as a natural ability. Also keep in mind that, as you progress, you get a new natural ability each year. (Y1, Y2, Y3) so if you want his dragon form fairly freely usable, then it might be a good idea to get other abilities later?
...this is why my three students all have shapeshifting as a first natural ability. OvO Cause they have natural forms. Because I like to not have to worry about where I use them as much.
Though this is up to you. JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND! It is NOT freely usable anywhere if you don't have that natural. It's up to you how yu develope your char, but your form will not be as freely usable as a 'stand alone' as you put it.
PS: Aki will be happy to hate you for being revenge as he's protection. <3

Thanks so much for your input! In advance I'm sorry if I misread something, because I am so dizzy right now that I can hardly see straight. x_x;
I did have his shapeshifting as his natural ability, but Riyo reminded me that it's kinda natural in and of itself. I'm alright with him not being able to transform inside the school walls, and honestly I've always thought that they couldn't do that anyway (like I've never had Deacon transform into kitty!Deacon other than outside and inside dorms, even though shapeshifting is his natural ability). So I guess Deacon can play around in cat form more than I thought! XD
Plus, with a dragon's natural form being so big, he'd probably not be so inclined to shift inside buildings anyway. Unless he really feels like smashing out walls and what-have-you. I can't imagine this going well and resulting in detention until graduation. 8D;
I really, really appreciate your input, though! <333
Also this hateship would be hilarious and welcome. Giant dragon boil vs adorable puppy boil. XD

Yeeup~! I was directed to read those when I was first picking a natural for Molan. I think they're a good reference to know about when choosing, if you only want them in those specified 'OK Zones' then choosing something else IS a good idea. OvO Building your char as you see fit!
I just figure informing and giving the basics of it so people can make their own educated(with the official documents) decision. ouo Because everyone may make their own choices, yis.
And hey, even if he doesn't remember it, his best friend is a dragon. He totally knows how to tussle with one. Even if he's a tiny runt.
Just the glare down might be hilarious. Because itty bitty kid glaring up at the dragon. /shot
I would love to have a hateship if they ever run into each other. Because yea.

I totally understand~ Thanks again! biggrin
Imagining puppy glare is the best. XD Tanvir would be confused, and probably quite perturbed... It will likely be the beginning of forming a strong dislike for children he just won't be sure why he hates the puppy the most of all.
I dunno how willing he'd be to actually fight with him... That idea in the back of his mind that surely with just a flick of his tail he would win. Being proven wrong on that, though, is bound to be greatness.

Pffft, he'd just sort of give him a sour expression and be confused as to WHY he didn't really like that person. Because he usually tries to like everyone. But yea. Revenge vs Protection = NOPE. >v>
Aki's not the most aggressive so he wouldn't outright pick a fight. There's just probably be growling of the unsure variety. And no actual cuddles. Most everyone else gets affection.

Ahaha~ XD Lack of cuddles would certainly be something Tanvir would be ok with. It's almost like he's physically designed to not get hugs, anyway.

Pfft, they're pretty opposite. Aki thrives off being around people and interacting and loves attention/affection. Tanvir is... sort of against all of that.
Aki will just happily social butterfly and shun zee revenge.
I WOULD LIKE REVENGE DRAGON + REVENGE DRAGON RP PLS heart

Tanvir agrees completely... Without doing that tongue thing.
