Physical Appearance, Anatomy & Condition

Ibeüs has a fundamentally human body shape, but built on a colossally imposing, superhuman scale. Standing at 2.00 meters (6'7") tall, he possesses a massive, rock-hard human anatomy—broad chest, heavy shoulders, thick arms, and dense muscularity. His true nature as a demihuman shines through his specialized draconic traits and his astronomical physical strength.

Humanoid Frame with Draconic Features

• Physical Strength: His power vastly exceeds normal limits. Thanks to his draconic blood, he possesses immense physical strength, capable of lifting giant boulders, felling massive frozen trees, or hauling colossi-sized game through blizzards with ease.
• Skin & Scars: Crystal-clear, extremely pale skin due to albinism. His body is covered in old scars accumulated from hunting blind, protecting his people, and battling the elements.
• Hair & Face: Snow-white hair, long and cut in uneven layers. He has pointed ears and sharp features hardened by suffering.
• Ocular Condition: Pink, extremely sensitive eyes afflicted with nystagmus (involuntary, continuous twitching).
• Draconic Extras:
• Crowning his head are two majestic horns made of eternal ice.
• Sprouting from his back are huge white wings with ice-like, crystalline membranes.
• Extending from his lower back is a long, heavy white tail covered in hard dragon scales.
• His hands feature long, hard claws as white as ivory.

Ocular Condition & Attire

Ibeüs suffers from severe albinism, which caused photophobia, nystagmus, and foveal hypoplasia. His vision has degraded over centuries to near-total blindness (he sees very poorly, barely distinguishing shadows and painful flashes of light).

• He wears heavy pelts taken from the beasts he hunts.
• He wears a black cloth blindfold tied over his eyes. Since he can barely see anyway, walking blind doesn't bother him; he prefers complete darkness over the searing pain caused by sunlight reflecting off the snow.

Personality & Inner World

The External Armor

He is serious, aggressive, and fierce about his personal space. He speaks in short, harsh outbursts, insults anyone who gets near, and shouts loudly to scare people away. He uses rage as a defensive barrier: he is convinced that, being half-blind, he will only be a burden or cause trouble for others.

The Internal Abyss

Behind his roars lies a crushing loneliness. At night, in the quiet of his cabin, he wraps his arms around himself seeking the warmth he never had. He feels a desperate urge to cry, but forces himself not to: «I have to be strong. Who will keep all of this together if I don't?».

Perception of Dragons & Love

He despises dragons and his own draconic heritage; he wants nothing to do with them. He doesn't believe in conventional romantic love: he was abandoned by his own blood and grew up seeing the cruelty of the world.

View on Women & Rejection of Mating

In dragon demihumans, the mating cycle is a fierce biological instinct. For Ibeüs, however, it is an absolute nightmare that he violently rejects.

• Trauma Toward the Feminine: Ibeüs firmly believes that almost all women are evil, manipulative, or cruel. This belief stems from his birth mother throwing him away for being albino and was reinforced by watching abuse in the poverty of Sothlumygard. The sole exception in his entire life was his adoptive mother, Agatha.
• Rejection of Heritage & Heat: Various females (dragons drawn to his sheer power or demihumans seeking protection) have tried to approach him to mate. Ibeüs has driven them all away with insults, roars, and threats. When his dragon body goes into heat, he locks himself in frozen caves to suppress the instinct with extreme cold, refusing to leave offspring or fall into what he considers a trap.
• The Only Path (A Pure Heart): While he is heterosexual, his physical attraction is entirely blocked by trauma. The only way a woman could ever reach him is by demonstrating an absolutely pure heart, devoid of malice or hidden motives. Since he cannot see, Ibeüs does not judge by beauty, but by the tone of voice, the scent of intentions, and genuine acts of kindness.

Sense of Touch & The Art of Sculpting

Having lost almost all his sight, Ibeüs has developed an hyper-acute sense of smell and an extraordinary sense of touch.

• Scent: He can smell people and beasts from meters away, allowing him to hunt and help around the village despite his blindness.
• Wood Carving: His favorite pastime is carving wood. He uses his claws or small blades to shape pieces of pine or frozen oak.
• His Way of Remembering: He carves small figures to remember what things looked like when he could still see them. He needs to touch the carvings to feel the shapes of a world his eyes can no longer capture.

🪵 The Valley of Hope (Sothlumygard)

Hidden deep within the cold, unforgiving white mountains of Sothlumygard lies a sanctuary born by accident: Hope (a humble village consisting of just a few wooden shacks and stone shelters).

The Village & Its Inhabitants

It is a haven for outcasts—demihumans rejected by society who prefer the harshness of the snow over the cruelty of the kingdom. The village is full of life: fishermen who break through frozen lakes, woodcutters, and gatherers of medicinal herbs.

The "Gruff Guardian"

Everyone in the village adores Ibeüs, affectionately calling him Ibus. Even though he yells at them and acts rough, they know he is the most sensible person there and the sole reason the village exists.

• His Help: Ibeüs helps wherever his lack of vision allows: he hauls heavy timber, gathers supplies, and butchers hunted meat with surgical precision thanks to his acute senses and biology.
• Frustration: Whenever he trips or stumbles due to his blindness, he flies into a rage at himself; he hates feeling useless with every fiber of his being.

Backstory

1. Abandonment & Poverty

Ibeüs was born into a dragon clutch, but being albino (translucent skin, twitching pink eyes, and weak to sunlight), his birth mother discarded him as a sickly, useless runt. He was left to die in the snow.

A snow cat demihuman named Agatha, who had just lost her own newborn in the slums of Sothlumygard, found him. Agatha took him in, nursed him, and raised him with unconditional love, always calling him: «My little snowflake.»

2. The Journey Up the Mountain

Ibeüs grew up despised by other demihumans, who called him a "monster" and a "freak." While he was still young, Agatha fell gravely ill. A healer told him that the only way to slow her illness was the extreme purity of mountain cold. Without hesitation, Ibeüs looked toward the giant mountain on the horizon, carried his adoptive mother on his back, and climbed into the freezing peaks.

There, with his bare hands, he built their first wooden cabin. The cold helped Agatha recover, and they lived together in peace for years. Over time, travelers and outcasts began settling around them, naming Ibeüs their guardian and giving rise to the village of "Hope."

3. Loneliness & The House Frozen in Time

Agatha passed away peacefully at age 60 due to her species' shorter lifespan. Before dying, she told Ibeüs that she always knew he would be the best dragon in the world (something Ibeüs bitterly denies in his heart).

Today, Ibeüs's house is the oldest in the village:

• The Dining Room: A cozy space dominated by a large oak table covered in hundreds of small, hand-carved wooden figurines.
• His Room: Simple and practical, lined with thick pelts.
• Agatha's Room: Kept exactly as it was the day she died. Ibeüs hasn't touched a single thing inside; he doesn't even dare open the door out of fear of the overwhelming pain her absence brings.
