History:
Gilideth is 230 years old, born in 1780, his father before him lived to be 2,045 years of age before passing on. Gilideth was born to a family of Air dragons, living above the earth in mountains. As with every Luck Dragon he took on Human form at the age of 160 (The year was 1940) for about thirty years. During this time he lived as a human, spoke, walked, ate, and interacted with others as humans do. (He was a rather lucky human though) After his thirty years with the humans he ascended to the sky, far above airplanes, practically living in space. At this time he was about 190 years of age.
He had learned much from the humans, came to think a little like them and what they needed in terms of luck. However not even his powers were enough to stop the small humans from discovering and killing his dragon kin.
For many years he continued to spread his luck through the earth, watching with deep sorrow as his kin were slaughtered and their body parts sold off to the highest bidder. It was, perhaps, at this time that he turned bitter against the human race and disgusted with them all.
Normally when a Luck dragon ascends to the sky's they are never seen again, preferring to stay high and watch what goes on below. Only once in the past were things so dire that a Luck dragon had to descend to earth. (Dinosaurs) After a few years of waring with himself he descended to earth to search out four special humans and four unhatched dragons and blessed each of them, hoping that together they could save the Earth, humanity and the dragons.
Once he descended and was spotted by humans word spread quickly and he began to be hunted. On his journey, searching for the eight he used most of his luck escaping Dragon Hunters and blessing the eight he had chosen.
He died after blessing the person of Fire. He used the last of his luck and fought against the Hunters who had cornered him.
As soon as he died an egg was layed, to be hatched in a year, into the new Luck Dragon. (It is born to a family of Earth Dragons this time)
