Darkstalker was 120 feet tall (towered over every dragon in Pyrrhia)

Darkstalker is a sapient, NightWing IceWing hybrid dragon. Each of his 2 dark wings are 1.2 times the size of his body, the average size ratio for a dragon. He has sharp facial features and an overall striking look. His scales are mostly black and a shade a bit lighter on his underbelly. The only real noticeable part of his IceWing biology one could see or feel is the outline of his wing membranes, where the scales are cold and white.

Darkstalker was an arrogant, manipulative, caring to his loved ones but does so in unethical ways, dragon. During the present he was undoubtedly smug and charming to get his way; only raising his voice when someone hurt his loved ones.

[BACKSTORY]: Darkstalker was hatched in 3,006 A.S. (After Scorching), during a Brightest Night where all 3 moons are full moons. Because Darkstalker's father (Prince Arctic) was an animus, Darkstalker had inherited his father's magic. Darkstalker was hatched under 3 full moons, because of his NightWing biology this gave him the power to read minds from miles away (though there is a certain range) and the power of prophecy (he can see almost all possibilities of a decision, though the things he foresees are not guaranteed.) During Darkstalker's childhood in the Night Kingdom (now abandoned and decayed) he and Clearsight (a NightWing prophet with prophecy superior to Darkstalker's, no mind reading though) had foreseen each other's encounter; and stayed like that before they both finally met during school. When Clearsight asked to feel his IceWing part Darkstalker obliged, she ran her talon over the edge of his wing membrane, it tickled a bit for Darkstalker but he bit his tongue not to laugh. Meanwhile an animus SeaWing named Fathom, had recently survived and ended the SeaWing Massacre, and a few years after he was summoned to the NightWing Kingdom to "keep an eye" on Darkstalker since animus magic (Fathom's grandfather Prince Albatross) was the reason the massacre had started. But eventually Darkstalker, Fathom, and Clearsight had formed a close-knit friend group that strengthened within the years of their childhood. Indigo is Fathom's soulmate and had initially attacked Darkstalker because she was suspicious of his animus magic, this made Darkstalker paranoid since he'd almost died to Indigo's suspicions. Out of his paranoia, Darkstalker had enchanted himself to be immortal, nothing can hurt him physically. Prince Arctic had always expressed hatred toward Darkstalker; often thinking hateful thoughts at Darkstalker just to insult his son without being heard by anyone else. After it is revealed that Darkstalker is an animus to Prince Arctic, the IceWing Prince had attempted to take Whiteout to the IceWing Kingdom; making Darkstalker outraged and enchant Arctic to obey his every command with the thought of "Father can't be trusted, I was right. I'm always right. If I just scare them a little... their fear would give me control, control over a perfect world." Darkstalker hosted a "ceremony" that brought almost every NightWing in the Night Kingdom to it. This "ceremony" was for Arctic's wrong-reasoned execution, Darkstalker barked a command at Arctic, forcing his father to spit out only Darkstalker's wanted response. After Arctic had triggered Darkstalker more through vague and insulting responses, Darkstalker had commanded Arctic to rip out his own organs, spill his life onto the stage, this was a long, grueling process that led to Arctic's death. The sight of this obviously terrified Clearsight, who had been there the entire time, Clearsight had fled before Darkstalker could spot her, she went to Fathom and told him all about the "ceremony." Fathom had also managed to snag Darkstalker's scroll that contained all his animus magic, Fathom wrote in a sleeping spell onto a copper bracelet via the scroll, Clearsight had taken the bracelet and managed to take Darkstalker under a cave deep in the Agate Mountain, which she foresaw would soon crumble. Clearsight had slipped the copper bracelet onto Darkstalker's wrist, making the NightWing hybrid fall into slumber under the Agate Mountain.

For 2,000 years, Darkstalker had been slowly growing into the colossal titan he is now while trapped under the Agate Mountain. Finally, the bracelet had decayed enough to snap; awakening Darkstalker while still trapped under the mountain. For a few months he had been starving, he didn't need food but he forgot to include the part where he didn't have the feeling of hunger in his immortality spell. Darkstalker's scroll that contained his animus magic was lost and out of his possession at the time. Most likely out of boredom and literary nothing else to do, Darkstalker had peered into the thoughts of others outside the mountain he was trapped under, it was always a one-sided conversation, Darkstalker could hear, but couldn't speak. Until a NightWing named Moonwatcher (a fellow NightWing mind reader) had came into Darkstalker's mind reading range when Jade Mountain Academy was founded. At first, Darkstalker was very smug and ominous when he was communicating with Moonwatcher via mind reading. But he did sound genuinely surprised and bewildered when Moonwatcher had told him that the year is currently 5,012 A.S.. Darkstalker told Moonwatcher that as much as he'd like to escape the Agate Mountain (now considered "Darkstalker's Teeth" after it collapsed) via his animus scroll that was no longer in his possession, Moon had to destroy it if it ever fell into the wrong hands. This; in which was a trick, if Darkstalker's scroll were destroyed the magic wouldn't be gone; it'd just be returned to Darkstalker. The Jade Winglet had managed to get the scroll, and Qibli and Winter were fighting over it, this made Peril realize how much power can do to dragons. The firescales SkyWing (Peril) took the scroll and burned it, destroying the paper and accidentally returning the magic back to Darkstalker. This gave Darkstalker freedom to finally escape Darkstalker's Teeth, he emerged abruptly from the ground, startling everyone nearby (Turtle, Qibli, Moonwatcher, Peril, Winter, and Kinkajou). After "reverently" thanking Peril for destroying the scroll and freeing him, the SkyWing instantly attacked Darkstalker, attempting to scorch the NightWing hybrid; this, in which had done nothing to Darkstalker, and he just brushed the attack off with a chuckle and a "no need to do that, Peril!" joke.

Darkstalker's presence had terrified Turtle since the NightWing hybrid had looked at Turtle with something resembling disdain since Turtle looks like Fathom (Darkstalker's initial defeater). With quick thinking (and a bit of paranoia) Turtle used his own animus magic to create a hiding spell on a stick that completely erased the holder's existence from Darkstalker's awareness. After Darkstalker offered to hunt with the Jade Winglet (without Turtle) because he was starving from malnutrition over his 2,000 years of slumber. Turtle had gone back to Jade Mountain Academy while Darkstalker and the Jade Winglet were off hunting. When they came back to the Academy, Winter's, Qibli's, and Peril's initial skepticisms of Darkstalker had suspiciously been absent. Apparently, Darkstalker had enchanted them to like and trust him more than they were willing to depending on how they first acted around Darkstalker. Winter had the strongest effect; treating Darkstalker like a god to be worshipped after being enchanted. Moonwatcher had made Darkstalker promise not to hurt her friends. The students of Jade Mountain Academy, specifically the NightWings and the IceWings had met Darkstalker with immediate aggression or immediate fear and panicking. One group of IceWings and NightWings had attacked Darkstlaker, this made him mildly amused but also a bit irritated, though he let the Dragonets of Destiny know that he isn't motivated to hurt them, but after the attacking persisted he claimed that he a little bit more motivated to hurt them. Although, Darkstalker brushed off the attacking NightWing and IceWings students shortly after, still keeping his promise not to hurt them.

After about a night, Darkstalker (and a group of NightWings hoping to get a "gift" of his power) went traveling to the old Night Kingdom; Turtle, Kinkajou, and Moon had secretly followed just about a mile away. By the second night, Darkstalker's NightWing group had settled for camp; preparing for the longer flight ahead to the Night Kingdom, but Darkstalker had gone ahead when the NightWings were long unconscious in their sleep. Turtle had noticed Darkstalker's movement and followed him without Kinkajou and Moon. Since Turtle's existence was completely hidden from Darkstalker's awareness via the enchanted stick, Turtle could follow Darkstalker without any suspicions from the NightWing hybrid. Darkstalker roamed the Night Kingdom; unaware that he's being spied on by Turtle until Darkstalker found a painting of his soulmate, Clearsight, but the painting was heavily decayed and ruined overtime, so Darkstalker had used his animus magic to restore the painting. The sight of Clearsight, his true love brought painful and longing nostalgia to Darkstalker, making him cry unguardedly, still not knowing Turtle had been there all along. He looked up at the sky for a while with a hurt expression, Turtle found this opportunity to drop a pearly white marble he found in the ruins in front of Darkstalker, when the NightWing hybrid looked down at the marble, he picked it up with surprising delicacy and started to speak to it as if Clearsight were there, apologizing for enchanting her. After this rare moment of vulnerability from Darkstalker, he crashed out out of frustration, blaming it all on Fathom and later hurling the marble at a tree out of anger with all his force; shattering and crumbling the tree instantly under Darkstalker's strength.

Darkstalker had made an enchantment to kill all IceWings (excluding the IceWing hybrids since Darkstalker is part IceWing, and except all the IceWings at Jade Mountain Academy), since Turtle had earlier enchanted Qibli's earring to have the wearer immune to any spells Darkstalker had casted, and also gave Qibli a bowl that can duplicate anything, Qibli had used it to duplicate his earring to give to the IceWings. Since the IceWings had a wall that kills any other tribe that attempts to enter the Ice Kingdom, Qibli had to give it to an IceWing SeaWing hybrid named Typhoon, apparently half-IceWing is IceWing enough to enter the Ice Kingdom. And Typhoon was quick, handing out the earrings to all the IceWings; stopping the disease before someone died. But there was one dragon who died to the disease Darkstalker had caused via his animus magic, and it was Queen Glacier. Darkstalker's attempt at making the IceWings extinct had thankfully failed. Meanwhile Turtle was fighting Anemone with his animus magic, though he only used defensive spells while Anemone used lethal ones. Thankfully they worked it out peacefully, but Darkstalker had sensed every spell Turtle and Anemone had casted, Darkstalker summoned every single animus in Pyrrhia to the Night Kingdom's throne room, which included Stonemover, Turtle, Anemone, Jerboa III (Jerboa immediately teleported out via her shell necklace before Darkstalker could see her), Darkstalker had asked Stonemover how many animuses were here initially, and Stonemover responded with "four dragons," this meant that Darkstalker had realized someone had been hiding from him. Darkstalker enchanted a sword to bring Turtle's loved one (Kinkajou) over to the throne room, and threatened to kill the RainWing if Turtle didn't reveal himself soon. Turtle passed his enchanted stick over to Anemone, giving Darkstalker awareness to Turtle's existence but no longer Anemone's. Darkstalker first thought Turtle was Fathom since they looked so similar and blasted a fireball at Turtle, thankfully Turtle had accidentally enchanted himself to be immune to any attacks from his battle with Anemone, and was okay after the fire hit him. After realizing Turtle wasn't Fathom, Darkstalker's rage turned to hollow charm, he removed Turtle's animus magic and locked the SeaWing in the dungeons, claiming that, "You'll be safer here. Under my eye."

After Anemone and Kinkajou had told the Jade Winglet all about the earlier events, they came back and freed Turtle, now wearing the earring that protects them from Darkstalker's magic. Winter and the Jade Winglet had led Darkstalker out of the Night Kingdom, Winter had came with Foeslayer after freeing her from the Diamond Trials. At the sight of his mother, Darkstalker broke into tears, hugging Foeslayer with protectiveness. After that, Kinkajou made a weird request, offering a strawberry to Darkstalker if he never tried it. Darkstalker snatched the strawberry with his arrogance, explaining his plans for takeover over the entire continent, only to realize the strawberry with enchanted with a remnant of his own animus scroll. The enchantment had turned Darkstalker into Peacemaker, slowly shrinking Darkstalker in his embarrassing and humiliating defeat to Peacemaker. History had repeated for Darkstalker; corruption had taken ahold of him, and he had been betrayed by his loved ones, this time more permanent, more effective.

Side Notes:

• Darkstalker had expressed great hatred in IceWings and also Fathom.

• Darkstalker (original body) is NOT a strawberry. He is Peacemaker, a cheery NightWing RainWing hybrid.

Character 2: name: full name: "Peacemaker" aliases: N/A

kin: Foeslayer (mother, now dubbed as Hope.), "Wow, my mommy? She's the bestest ever mom to ever exist in the best entire world!"

age: hatchling

sexual orientation: pan (open for relationship though considered too young to have a romance life, try to limit it to platonic but never sexual)

Peacemaker is 6 feet tall (average height for a hatchling dragon.)

Peacemaker is a sapient, cheery, bubbly, NightWing RainWing hybrid, acting very childish and toddler-like because of his recent age. He is the outcome of Darkstalker's defeat. Peacemaker has mostly black scales along with a few RainWing scales that change color depending on his emotions. Despite his dark past (Darkstalker), Peacemaker has no memory of it and continues to speak with childlike innocence. Peacemaker's existence was considered a "fresh-start" for Darkstalker by Hope and everyone else.

Side Notes:

• Peacemaker exists from Darkstalker's magic, Kinkajou was the one who casted it using a remnant his animus scroll
• Peacemaker absolutely loves strawberry; frequently making strawberry jam or just eating it normally.

Character 3 (my OC/AU of Darkstalker): name: full name: "Lightseer" self-appointed aliases: "monstrous traitor," "corrupted beast"

age: physique of an adult dragon, chronologically exists only recently

Lightseer is 20 feet tall (average size of that an adult dragon)

sexual orientation: pan (open for relationship)

Lightseer is a sapient, anxious, saddened, NightWing IceWing hybrid. He is the outcome of Darkstalker's backup plan. Lightseer has the same biology as his past self Darkstalker had during his childhood but branched off into adulthood that he never got to experience. Despite his dark past (Darkstalker), Lightseer has every memory of it and continues to speak with regretful speech.

[BACKSTORY]: Lightseer's existence was a backup plan by Darkstalker in case he ever got defeated, his biology was never specifically commanded by Darkstalker's magic, so the spell had defaulted to his own. Lightseer is Darkstalker (retaining his memories, past, and personality), just in a different body, he was the one who did all those wretched acts, the backup plan was to continue takeover and manipulation, though now that Lightseer thought about it, he no longer liked the idea. Instead he strives for redemption, that's why he changed his name to "Lightseer." Lightseer still has his mind reading and prophecy, but his animus magic is stored inside a black opal gem that came along with his reappearance, if it it destroyed his animus magic would come back. (Much like how Peril destroyed the scroll.) Lightseer has not yet smashed the opal, he knows he can't be trusted with that kind of power, especially what happened over two millennia, but he also can't let it fall into the wrong hands; so he keeps it on him at all times, leaving it unbroken and solid despite his original plan to smash it and take over the continent immediately.

Side Notes:

• Lightseer exists from Darkstalker's magic, he is Darkstalker
• Make sure Lightseer refers to Darkstalker as "I" because they are the same person (mental-wise)
• Lightseer is utterly terrified of strawberries because it was the enchanted strawberry that triggered the backup plan (Peacemaker's existence).
