Roadkill

I’m an artist, I’m a writer, I don’t shut up about dragons. What could be better.

I’ve got another account on here, @recycledrat-art. Made it for commissions. Still deciding what I wanna do with it. Either way I wanted a personal account so here it is :D

Pronouns: he/him

Name: You can call me Roadkill :P

BEHOLD, LADIES AND DIRTBAGS

Sylvis was once bonded to a rider named Harper, and nearly died of the grief when Ulric (the man pictured) killed Harper for treason. Sylvis has since become a twisted and bitter dragon that is untrusting of humans. He stays near the academy because his mate (The mighty Nocta’Maris) is bonded, and is known to eat cadets who stray too far into the woods.

During a battle in which the crew saves their own Captain O’ Captain from being executed for treason, Sylvis shows up and gets revenge for Harper.

Lore

Sylvis is a grand example of the Skogn breed, an extensive breed that ranges from the Deepwoods lineage from the dense old growth forests of Medea (the southern country on this continent) to the meadow lineages that frolic in their hoards of living flowers.

Skogn are one of the most common dragons to bond, as they are some of the nearest to civilization, the most curious, and considered one of the most “human” breeds. They are fiercely loyal to their riders, and often form some of the deepest bonds.

More of Ronan and Vireyas! Plus some lore >:)

The breeds of dragon in this world are entirely based on the environment they were hatched in. It gets more complicated than that, but that’s the basic idea. A dragon born in the forest is a Skogn breed, a dragon hatched in the mountains is a Fjell (big motherfuckers). The magic of dragons is the magic of the earth they walk.

The opposite magic to dragons, though, is monsters. Monsters are borne of conflict, resentment, hatred. This “energy” of sorts can be powerful enough to shape an unhatched or young dragon. That is what Vireyas is. A “war-torn” dragon, or a Tyr. He was originally a breed native to the tundra, but a human battle over his hatching grounds changed him. He retains many aspects of his old breed, such as a stout build and fur, but looks as though made of bone in places, and colored reds, grays, and whites.
