#3 Poison

This is supposed to be Castiel fanart *laughs in the distance*

remember that “Wyrms of WoF” thing i did? Well, i’ve been trying to develop a story around the idea, and i was just gonna drop the main conflict on you all to see what you think:

(based off of this)

Cobalt (the main Nowing protagonist of my story) is an energetic, enthusiastic, Upper-World-obsessed Wyrm with dark-bluish tinted scales. Despite her technical brilliance, she is considered quite troublesome by her elders and peers, and is also considered a poisonous influence to her younger brother, Jasper, as a direct result of her obsession with seeing the Upper World someday (which would be a highly forbidden thing to do). She had to drop out of school because of her disruptiveness, and she now spends her time inventing various gadgets relating to the Upper World, such as air-filters and light-obscuring-goggles. Jasper is Cobalt's younger brother, who would prefer to live a peaceful life of calm complacency. He tends not to be very social because of his horrible self-esteem and anxiety (and his relation to Cobalt). He also tends to be in complete opposition to Cobalt's interests, and consecutively chastises her for making a fool of herself and getting the two of them into trouble. Regardless, as of late, he has caught himself putting a lot of consideration into the theories and ideas he's heard Cobalt ramble. The only dreya who regularly spends time with him aside from his sister is Bromine. Argon is a lazy twit who doesn't care about the impending "war" between the Wyrms and the Flyers. (He is also a member of the House of Nobles, though he is arguably the least popular amongst them) He is much more intelligent (and cunning) than most dreyan believe. He is highly fond of Radium (and by extension, Astatine) and her research. {He will eventually mastermind the attempted genocide of the Flyers of the Upper World.} Alu is Argon's wife, who specializes in developing electrical conduits. She is much more assertive than her husband, but she is also just as cunning as he is. She personally oversees Radium and Astatine's experiments. Chlora is an old, dark-green, forbidden Nowing/Seawing hybrid that lives isolated near the surface. Not much is known about her. Iodine is a member of the royal family (nephew of Queen Hydros), thus, he wears purple robes and purple armor. He has a very, very subtle interest in the study of the Upper World, an interest he has done his best to keep to himself. As such, he has a tendency to make frequent "visits" to the Caves of Commons (or more accurately, he has a habit of sneaking out of the Cave of Nobles). It was through his interests that he comes to [unprofessionally] meet Cobalt. Phosphorus (or Phos, for short) is a young Nowing obsessed with fireworks and chemicals that create light. He is constantly in search of new and better ways to bring light to the dim caverns of Subterrania. Cobalt and Phosphorus are pals, and Phos thinks it would be incredible to see the sun someday. Even though it would probably blind him, he says it would be worth it. (Cobalt repeatedly threatens to glue her special goggles to his face whenever they talk about going to the Surface) Radium is Phos' sister, who has a similar interest in light. However, she uses her light[ning] for....darker purposes. Astatine is a crazed researcher/inventor with a critical mental imbalance that somehow doesn't inhibit her work. She is VERY familiar with Radium. [Astatine likely has some form of autism] She has an extreme fixation on electricity and it's properties. Bismuth is a blind, albino Wyrm. Even though she doesn’t associate with her, many dreyan believe she is related to Astatine. Bromine has a horrible social life because of her extremely strong odor (which she can never seem to get rid of). [Is friends with Jasper and Cobalt. Well, mostly Jasper. Or at least she tries very hard to be.] Other undeveloped characters:

Valence (Vale) (f) - A member of the House of Nobles. - Probably works with Argon. Sohcahtoa / Sokatoa (Soka) (f) - A brilliant mathematician who inadvertently assisted Argon and his followers. She developed the first successful, electricity-resistant rubber.
