Kaempferi (Kaem)

Kaempferi (Kaem) is a student attending Outcast Academy in the Second Generation. He's apart of the Opal Winglet, and is defined by his calm yet moody attitude, and his fondness of reading and history. He's a Hivewing/Seawing (Hivewing dominant) hybrid, and has a mix of the tribes abilities. (See Abilities and Skills for more detail)

Appearance
Kaem is a massive, strong looking hybrid. He towers over dragon's his age, and is even bigger than some adults. He has a muscular, burly build, and is quite obviously very physically strong. He’s not bad looking either, though can come off as a bit intimidating, as he almost always has a slight glare plastered to his face. He possesses the basic body shape of a Hivewing, though is a bit more stocky and bulky, like a Seawing. He has a long, strong Seawing tail, and gills on the sides of his neck. He has mostly pale, white-ish orange overscales, with an underbelly of pure white. He has rings of bright, crimson red going down his forearms, tail, and back legs. He has stripes of bright reddish orange starting from his back and going down his sides, all the way down his neck, back, and ending at the start of his tail, which are all bordered in an ebony color. He has streaks of scarlet by his piercing, bright orange eyes. The top of his head is completely ebony, and leads into a stripe which goes all the way down his back, and ends at the tip of his tail. His claws are hooked, like a Seawings. He has bright, cobalt blue eyes, which can be both beautiful and piercing when he needs them to be.

Personality
Kaem is a cool, stoic hybrid. He’s a bit aloof, not one for lengthy and unnecessary conversation. He always seems to be lost in his thoughts, and can often be seen spacing out and focusing on seemingly nothing. He’s a bit moody and grumpy, and can come off as a bit of a jerk at time, though treats those he likes very well, and is surprisingly sheepish and soft for such a tough looking dragon. However, he hates being touched, and will only allow the dragons he likes most to even poke him. Despite having such a moody attitude, he does have a strong sense of justice, and despises evil and bad dragons. He’s not afraid to say what he thinks about others, and isn’t one to forgive easily. Even though he looks intimidating, and even a bit brutish he’s actually level headed, and can keep his cool in the worst of situations. When he gets angry, he doesn’t become impulsive and predictable like most; instead, he becomes even more concentrated and determined, which can be a very useful trait in a bad situation. Combined with his focused, controlled attitude, he can be a force to be reckoned with.

Surprisingly enough, Kaem has a fondness of reading and history. Despite being a very good fighter, he'd much rather be sitting around and reading a good book than fighting other dragons. He loves peace and quiet, and tends to stay away from loud and expressive dragons, as they usually annoy him. He's very good at writing, and has great memory and observational skills. Adding onto his observational skills, he has a knack for telling exactly what a dragon is feeling, based on body language and habits he picks up on.

Relationships
Though he hasn't been at the academy for long, Kaem has already made a friend and an enemy, and also has a love interest.

Fortitude
Fortitude is Kaem's closest companion and current love interest. Kaem first found Fortitude hiding in a hallway, where he accidentally bumped into and noticed her. Though Fortitude initially lied to him about her bloodmoon-born powers, Kaem did forgive her. Admittedly it was at first out of pity, as he found her nervous and almost scared temperament sad, but he quickly came to genuinely care for the blind dragoness. He helps her around the school a lot, guiding her to their shared classes and taking her outside to explore. He also talks for the mute dragoness, as he knows that she doesn't like using her telepathy on dragons she doesn't know. Kaem cherishes her, and often finds himself annoyed when Fortitude thinks that she's a nuisance to him. He is very protective and caring towards Fortitude, and doesn't like other dragons touching her, as he knows she dislikes it. He feels that Fortitude is the one dragon he can let his guard down around, and she's also one of the few dragons that Kaem allows to touch him.

Holly
Kaem isn't exactly friends with Holly yet, though would be her friend if he if she talked to him more. He respects her, as he took her side in the argument with Lorde and Dominique. Despite her being a louder, more excitable dragon, which he normally dislikes, he seems to make an exception for her since she was initially nice to him, and didn't push him too much.

Lorde
Kaem has a grudge toward Lorde, as she trapped him in a magical mirror. He dislikes her, and he makes that known, often shooting her glares and frowns when he see's her. He thinks that she's a nosey, disrespectful dragon, and won't be forgiving her for her actions anytime soon. However, he does respect her bravery in the face of danger, as she initially refused to free him, even when being surrounded by multiple dragons.

Fighting Prowess
Kaem is a very formidable and powerful physical fighter, boasting great skill and tact in battle. He believes in fighting smarter, not harder, and uses both his intelligence and strength to win fights. He got into a lot of fights when he was younger, and while he's not exactly proud of it, he also recognizes that it made him a tougher dragon.

Intelligence
Despite seeming a bit brutish in appearance, Kaem is actually very smart. He's very good at picking out small details and remembering them, and uses his intelligence to infer what other dragon's are thinking. He also uses his keen observational skills when he fights, and pays attention to his opponent's body language to predict what they'll do next. He also tends to get very good grades, even if he doesn't like most of the classes he has to take.

Writing
Kaem dreams to be an author one day, and write scrolls for a living. He loves to write things down, whether it be big, important things, or trivial, useless things. He has great memory, as well as good talonwriting, which compliments his skill as a writer quite well. When he's stressed, he often writes down things to calm himself down, and sees writing as a sort of temporary relief from the real world.

Swimming
Even though he's only part Seawing, and lacks any form of webbing to help him swim, Kaem is still a very competent swimmer. He uses his powerful tail and large wings to propel himself through the water, and considers his wings a substitute for his webbing. However, despite this, he's still not as agile or fast in the water as a pure blood Seawing is.

Strength
Kaem possesses immense physical strength, comparable to that of a mature Mudwing. Where he lacks in speed and agility, he more than makes up for it in raw strength. He can lift things that are much heavier than himself, and can really pack a punch in a fight. His tail is particularly strong, as it's thick and and long like a Seawing's, and can be used as a dangerous weapon. It can fracture bone when swung at it's hardest, though it's also a slow and slightly unwieldy weapon.

Pain Tolerance
Kaem is capable of withstanding a heavy amount of punishment, and can fight through the worst of conditions. He can takes blows that would bring most other dragons to the ground, and still keep on fighting. However, even though he can handle pain extremely well, that doesn't mean it doesn't effect him; at the end of the day, if his injuries are severe enough, he'll go down.

Seawing Abilities
Kaem has good night vision, due to his Seawing blood. He can see well in and navigate dark places very well. He has gills on the sides of his neck, and he can obviously use them to breathe underwater. His claws are hooked, and are very good at gripping and stabbing into things. However, he seems to lack glowscales, and any form of webbing on his claws, so he can't traverse the water as well as a pure blooded Seawing, or speak aquatic for that matter.

Hivewing Abilities
Kaem has only one Hivewing ability, that being venom in his front claws. The venom isn't fatal, though causes an immense, unbearable burning pain, which makes the entire body feel woozy and weak. If given in a large enough dosage, is can cause fainting/unconsiousness. Combined with his hooked talons, he can inject quite a lot of venom at once by digging his claws into a dragon and not letting go.
