Jeremy & Kinon - Forehead(Air)

[Jeremy Silcith]

Jeremy Silcith

Gender: Male
Age: 18

Appearance:
Standing at five feet, nine inches tall, Jeremy is quite tall, and gangly looking and lean, well muscled. Some people describe him as being a little bigger than a toothpick, in a joking manner. He has almond shaped eyes that are midnight blue, much darker than Kinon's eyes. When he smiles he shows teeth, lots of them. Jer has a very bright, infectious smile. He has a slightly triangular face with blond hair that falls just above his eyes. His hair is light and airy, some might even call it 'fluffy'. He has the same mark as Kinon does, smack dab in the middle of his forehead. It's light grey in color but when he nears the other four it will glow a pale white color. His hands are slightly calloused from his previous work with his father; he has a strong grip. The most common apparel you'll see Jer in is a loosely fitted T-shirt, jeans and a good pair of tennis shoes. His skin is lightly tanned, he spent a lot of time outdoors when he was younger though now the tan seems to be fading, just a bit.

Personality:
Jeremy is a curious kind of guy, he comes up with some odd questions sometimes or questions that don't have a real answer to them. He does well in the wilderness; Jeremy has gone camping several times with his father and knows most of the basics. He's done research and knows a little bit of what plants are poisonous or good to eat and he also knows a little bit in tracking. He's not the best at it, but he knows the basics.
Jeremy tries to take the time to think things through and although he acts quickly in harsh situations when he is put under too much pressure he can crack a bit and become snappish at others or rude, becoming angry or hot headed.
Jeremy is very self conscious about his looks. He likes to look nice. He doesn't have as much of a problem with his clothing as he does with his skin, hair, eyes, general facial looks. Since he received the mark on his forehead he's been very twitchy and huffy when someone mentions it or makes a rude comment about his looks. He wears cover-up to hide the mark when he goes out in public and gets embarrassed if he's caught with 'make-up' on.
He actually seems to get embarrassed often, you just have to know which buttons to push (and if you watch him for awhile those buttons are plain to see). When he is embarrassed he tends to flush and stutter a bit, attempting to get his thoughts in order. When placed on the spot in an embarrassing situation he's been known to 'fail at words' and be unable to put together a coherent sentence or fail to produce witty comebacks (which he is usually good at)
He is generally calm and can control his anger but when he snaps it is quite a sight to see. He tends to get a bit red in the face and begins to yell. He can have quite a mouth on him too, cursing like a sailor at times.
He tends to get into arguments rather quickly, with a quick wit and answers. Although the person he most often argues with is his dragon, Kinon.
Jeremy isn't the best morning person, he's rather sluggish and slow.
He has no qualms about fighting if his life or the life of Kinon is at stake; he's never actually killed anyone before. He did, once, break a bully's arm though.

History:
His father is a dragon hunter who travels the world often, in search of dragons to kill and turn in for money. Jeremy's mother passed away when he was twelve years old and since then he's traveled with his father, moving from school to school as his father followed the dragons.
Once the information about Dragons was found out, how they keep the earth in balance Jeremy began to frown upon his father's work and turned his studies to learning more about mythology and dragons. He's seen a lot of the world but he's never seen his father kill a dragon. This is mostly because he was in school or asleep while his father worked. Even if he had asked to go on a hunting trip, his father wouldn't have taken him, it would have been too dangerous.
He met Gilideth the Luck Dragon just before he moved to the Himalaya mountains with his father for a few months. He had a very hard time hiding the mark on his forehead and became more of a recluse around his father.
Jeremy found his dragon egg high in the mountains. He had been studying and learning at a temple in the Himalaya's as his father hunted. He had become bored with meditating and snuck out of the temple, going off to explore the mountain. He found his dragon egg farther up the mountain.
When Kinon hatched for him back at the temple he had to hide the small dragon from the monks for fear they would tell his father and he would kill the young beast. Even though his father hunted and despised dragons Jeremy found that he liked them, realizing that they helped the Earth and that humans needed to learn to respect them more.
He was able to hide the dragon long enough that his father moved back to America. He had talked with his father about what he wished to do with his life and Jeremy decided that the best thing to do, the safest thing, was to live as far from his father as possible until Kinon grew enough. So he went to a private academy in Ireland and his father continued to travel the world and kill dragons oblivious to his son's new found dragon friend.
Jeremy's father had trained him since the age of fourteen to be a dragon killer, taking him out to the mountains or other such remote area's to train him.
For a year and a half his father trained him. The first year was mostly getting his body in shape and learning about the different types of dragons, how to identify them and find their nests and eggs. The second year was hand to hand combat, which he learned quite well and after that he began to learn weapons, how to identify them and use them. But when his sixteenth year was drawing to a close he finally decided that he no longer wished to learn such things, preferring his books to the art of killing dragons. So he let his father know, as lightly as possible, that he preferred to study things other than dragon killing. He came out of his father's training with a better knowledge of dragons, hand to hand combat and limited knowledge of weapons and how to use them. (He never actually got to USE the weapons, just learned what they were and how they were used).

{He's had one ONE girlfriend in the past which he broke off because she got too close to Kinon (realizing that Jer had something to do with dragons) And then threatened to falsify info and 'turn him in'.
So he dumped her ass.

He's not 'hooked up' with anyone since, thinking it too risky and people are always giving him hell for it. And by 'people' I mean Terrance. (and sometimes his dad joking with him)
So he's always said to them "I'm not going to have another girlfriend *pause*.... NO I am not GAY... *glare*" and they give him hell, simple as that.

However Jer bing able to survive on very little air and at great heights I does like

Although Jer no longer works out with his dad he still goes out for walks or runs every other day.} <-------- Rewrite into ACTUAL history, not just the copy/paste from IM's ;D

(Sil-sith)

Forehead = Knowledge/Intelligence/Wisdom

((Person: What is that mark for? *points at head*
Jeremy: Mark? Oh God! Did the cover-up come off? *feels forehead anxiously*
Person: You... wear make-up?
Jeremy: *blinks and blushes* ...shut up...))

Kinon the Air dragon

Gender: Male
Age: About five months

Thank you
Fluffy, Raptorbane, Shadowcat, Mika and Risa <3

Appearance:
He is a bit shorter than your average school bus (30ft long) not the size though. His long serpentine body is about the diameter of a good sized oak, approximately three and a half feet around. He has two small antlers sprouting from his head. He has four short stubby little legs that keep him close to the ground, when he chooses to land. His hands are five clawed so that he may grasp things easily and his back legs are four clawed with a small 'dew claw'. Kinon has two long whiskers on either side of his nose.
He is a pale grey blue color and his wings are a darker grey color and are relatively small compared to his size, his wingspan is about 7 feet from wing tip to wing tip. He fly's mostly by magic, like most Air dragons of his kind do, they float, only using their wings in attack and defense, to give them better aerial stability and control.
He has a light covering of fur all over his body, with wide, rounded rectangular scales along his chest, tapering off at his tail and upper neck. His eyes are of a bright sky blue, perhaps a bit lighter than Jeremy's. His tail is long (about half the size of his body) and feathers out at the end, much like a flat paddle, a rudder made of feathers. He uses this for steering in the air. He can collapse the feathers to make himself more streamlined.

Personality:
Kinon argues a lot with Jeremy, constantly, over the smallest things. They will get into small spats that usually end quickly. He can be sarcastic and rude, not only to Jeremy but to those around him. Kinon enjoys teasing those he is close to. He also insults his human by constantly downgrading his intelligence and looks, even going so far as to threaten his life, but he loves Jeremy with all his heart and would do anything that Jeremy asked him too. Jeremy is one of the few humans that Kinon trusts with his life. He regards strangers with suspicion; he hides from humans that Jeremy and he don't know. Those that he does know or has just met he will regard with caution.
Kinon does not mind other dragons, in fact he rather likes to be around them. He grew up as 'an only dragon' and so enjoys talking with and learning from other dragons that he meets.
Like human like dragon, he's a bit touchy about his looks and doesn't take being insulted, even accidentally, very well. When insulted he will get his fur up about it and be snappish and rude, more so than he usually is. Sometimes he will fly off in a huff.


He may be five months but due to extenuating circumstances Kinon is the size of a healthy 15 year old dragon.


Air dragons are naturally buoyant and rise in water.

[-] Able to breath at high altitudes
Although he is able to breath at high altitudes he can't handle the cold very well. Kinon is more equipped for the cold due to his fur and scales but Jeremy with his rather hairless human body needs to bundle up nice and warm before going too high.

[-] Able to withstand low pressure (gets sick in high pressure (diving low))
[-] Able to control wind (he hasn't exactly figured this out yet)
[-] Can hold breath for longer than most people
[-] Heavy smog and air pollution makes it hard for him to breath, it makes him feel nauseous and ill until he gets used to it (Generally a day or so to get used to the bad air)
[-]

This list is ongoing...

Holding breath: So far he's logged at 2minutes of holding his breath before one of his friends flipped out, jumped in the pool and brought him to the surface and he's all:
"o.o; Whut?"
"DUDE I THOUGHT YOU WERE FRAKKIN DEAD"
"...Um... no?"

Kinon has wings that don't work then.... Normal Air dragons use wings to fly, he can LEVITATE yay.

Movies:

Twilight - Father/Son Bonding time. Dad thought it would be 'cool' to go see a movie and didn't listen to Jeremy's 'protests', thinking that it was an action flick and not a 'chick flick'.

Fun Facts, Yay!

It can take days or weeks to adapt to high altitude. However, above 26,000 feet, (in the "death zone"), the human body cannot adapt and will eventually die.

The death zone, in mountaineering, refers to altitudes above a certain point where the amount of oxygen cannot sustain human life. The point is generally tagged as 26,000 ft. In the "death zone", no human body can acclimatize. The body uses up its store of oxygen faster than it can be replenished. An extended stay in the zone without supplementary oxygen will result in deterioration of body functions, loss of consciousness and, ultimately, death.



In addition, at high altitude, the heart beats faster; the stroke volume is slightly decreased; and non-essential body functions are suppressed, food digestion efficiency declines (as the body suppresses the digestive system in favor of increasing its cardiopulmonary reserves).
