And so, a little bit of lore about my original dragon species, the saakons.

In the sketch, they are Southern Saakon, their image was inspired by Chinese Lung dragons, but they have differences from traditional Asian dragons:

1. Saakons have five-toed paws. And the front paws have longer palms and fingers to make it easier to grasp and hold objects.

2. Their scales only grow in one direction.

3. Most individuals have at least one fin. Usually they are on the tips of the tails, on the back, near the ears, etc.

4. The saakons do not have the long whiskers that the lungs have.

5. Males and females can be distinguished by the presence of a beard (only males have it) and by the structure of the muzzle, females have shorter muzzles and more delicate features, males have longer and more muscular muzzles.

Okay, now I think it's time to get smart and talk about my characters and redo their references at the same time. Because looking at Kira's old ref from 19 year, I have the face of someone who ate 10kg of lemons. 🍋🍋🍋

In fact, I decided to start introducing one of my favorite characters (and because she's the only one with a relatively official reference right now), meet Ashira Dremaan or simply Ashi. 

Once upon a time Ashi was supposed to be my avatar, because I wanted to do different storytime and animations on YouTube, but it didn't work out and she became a separate character.

She got her name because of my love to the character of the same name from the animated series "Samurai Jack", so to say a tribute to my favorite character. Also Nausicaä from "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" had something from it.

And so I'll tell you a couple of interesting facts about her. I won't tell the main story yet, because there are spoilers and other factors that I don't want to talk about yet.

Ashira Dremaan (Ashi)

167cm

50kg

+100 (18 years old on the physical side).

 She is a Saakon half-breed. Half- northern, half- southern. (Sahakons are my own kind of intelligent dragons that can transform into humans for camouflage, and into regular dragons.)

Her magic is more about psychogenesis, controlling the minds of other beings, distorting their reality, telekinesis, hypnosis, and levitation. And her strongest ability is entering limbo.

 Ashi is afraid of scientists and doctors, as they experimented on her.

She likes to float around as a ghost since she doesn't know how to behave in public.

She is very eager to have a normal conversation with her mother, but the latter constantly pushes her away and ignores her. This makes Ashi very sad often.

She is shy to talk to the new generation of people, after the worldwide purge.

She is withdrawn and quiet, but at the same time, she is cold-blooded and unafraid of demons and monsters, as well as protecting those she cares about.

Of clothing, she prefers something broad and not constraining the movement, such as: cloaks, sweaters, wide, but not long skirts or bandages. She is not shy about her body. Because of this, the only thing covered in her body is everything below her waist and hips.

The bandages on her body cover the scars her mother left behind a long time ago. A black liquid that looks like blood flows out of them at times, causing her great pain.

The black marks on her body are her birthmarks, which begin to glow white when she uses the powerful currents of her power.

She hoped her father was alive. However, Kira is told that he has been dead for years.

She loves her older brother and sister,  William and Kira. But she also feels fear for Kira, because of her resemblance to her mother, from the outside and her sadistic character..

                                     This is how she usually moves

      Here she has an attack of nausea and pain from the scars and cures

I suppose there may be some questions about her, well, I'm ready to answer them!
